To me, the shear idea of flying halfway around the world to hang out in an airport is simply unconscionable, especially when the destination city is super easy to get to from the airport, and is as vibrant as HK. While the "drama" might help you justify this approach in your mind, the fact of the matter is that the city is still functioning AND it offers far richer experiences than the 24-hour MacDonald's at HKIA.
You don't want to get caught some place and not be able to get back to make your flight.
I agree with this statement. However, it's insanely easy to choose a hotel with good MTR access. Do this, and you have nothing to worry about.
