vagabond ~ moving from place to place without a fixed home.
We intentionally chose Harbour Plaza Resort City for our accommodation throughout the five days stay in Hong Kong. It is situated at the north side of HK and quite far from the city centre. We wanted a more comfortable room so we didn't really mind the traveling. Besides, we wanted to experience the life of the Hongkongese. It was far alright and we traveled for only five days but there are other people who commute on the train to and from work everyday.
For our five days stay, we had to pay about USD444. Even though it might sound VERY expensive for a budget traveler like us, we would still have to pay the same amount of money if we booked a room in the city centre BUT the room would be much much smaller and the reviews written by others were not that encouraging. We need to pamper ourselves once in a while, right?
After checking in, the front desk staff told us that we had been upgraded to deluxe room for free and we wondered how the room would be like. And, once we entered the room which was located on the 25th floor, we knew we had made the right decision. We were happy enough to get to stay in a room which I would consider a luxury.

I really liked the night view from the window. The lights outside were bright enough and it was as if I was watching a big screen TV show that would put me off to sleep.

All in all, it was a pleasant stay. There was nothing to complain. And I have written a good review in Agoda for the hotel.
Hi Mr, how far the location of the hotel from the airport?
ReplyDeletefrom the airport, u can take a bus straight to the bus station which is situated just beside the hotel.
Delete=.=".... Is Hong Kong has no place to go???
ReplyDeletewhat do u mean? :)
DeleteI think there are not much place to spend or walk around.... If we in Singapore there got Universal studio or Zoo.... In Mexico (city of ancient civilization)there got Alameda Central.... In Paris (city of love)there got El panteon street and Eifel Tower..... In Malaysia we got Cameron Highland (land full of fruit maybe), Twin Tower n most of it shopping complex(=.=").... What i meant is the place that the people there can be proud of (walaupun tmpt tu cume la sebuah taman tp tmpt tu menarik).... In this case I just judging by looking all of those pic.... I did not know if there are kind of place at there....
