How is this done when you don't have experience with the city or MTR routes? Is MTR running 24 hours?
Just focus on the Island Line between Sheung Wan and Causeway Bay (as far out as North Point is actually okay), and the Tsuen Wan Line between TST and Mongkok (the closer to TST, the better). The Tung Chung Line, which connects with the HEX at Kowloon Stn and Tsingyi is a distant 3rd in terms of convenience and things to see/do. There are numerous threads in this forum discussing specific hotels, and very few do not adhere to the above criteria.

The MTR is not open 24 hours, but if your outbound flight is 730a or later, it is pretty easy to use it + HEX to get to HKIA if you don't have to make any transfers.
