Hong Kong this time

I’m really a sucker when it comes to air line promotions. I have no plans of booking a ticket for another international vacation. But I was not able to control myself when I saw the Zero Fare promo of Cebu Pacific. Of course I did not think twice again as low and discounted fares go fast, so as soon as I found an available date that offers a zero fare promo, I booked it right away.

So now, I have to do some research again for our hotel accommodations. I tried browsing the site of Hotelscombined.com as my friend told me that it is much easier to look for hotel accommodations here as it compares and search over 30 online booking sites at once. This means I don’t have to visit each of these thirty sites to compare their prices.

Right now, below are some of the hotels I’m considering:

1. BP International Hotel

When we last went to Hong Kong, we booked this hotel as recommended by my friends who have been to Hong Kong also. What we like about the place is it is clean (which is my number one consideration) and their rate is just ok. Also, the hotel is within walking distance to the MTR station and Nathan Road so we are very near the night market and the shopping areas.

I would like to stay here again although I’m still trying to look for other options for a change.

2. Shamrock Hotel

This hotel was recommended by a friend who stayed here a couple of months ago. It is also in the TST area which is the location that I like since it is centrally located. Another plus factor is that it is also close to the MTR station and other location such as the ferry terminal is just walking distance from this hotel. My friend said that the room is just okay, quiet normal for Hong Kong Standards.

3. Disney's Hollywood Hotel

On our last day, I plan to stay overnight at the Disney Hotel. We will be travelling with my 2.5 year old daughter so I think she will enjoy it here since the style of the hotel has a touch of Disney Deco ambiance. I also heard that you can see almost all the Disney characters anywhere in the hotel so my daughter will really have a blast here for sure.

So far, these are the three hotels that I’m considering for our trip. Any other recommendations?
