Thanks, they did reply to me. Offered Executive Club Harbourview Suite with extra discount is HK$1592 + 10% discount. However the gym is being refurbished and no pool. Not that we wold go to gym but perhaps pool, but still not the whole world. I assume its an ok price

At the end of the day you have a great harbour view, lounge access and a very central hotel all very not very much money by HKG standards.

Good choice I like staying there as it is close to Nathan Road and public transport. Some good local cheap places to eat and lots of bars in the area to visit at night. Also a good mango dessert place about 50 meters from the hotel.

許留山 Hui Lau Shan that is further up the street. Dont know the name of the place I am recommending but it is a one man band place- though it is quite famous as they have pictures of HK celebs eating their.

I know that place too as my DD is a mango fan. The name just escaped me. It look more traditional HK than hip touristy look.

Brief update
First impression, a lot of people and organized chaos. People are nice and never seen so many watch shops, is it so much cheaper?
Thanks everybody for the hotel recommendation, amazing view. Only thing is now salty nuts in the room fridge
I walked passed the Mango place so will try it out.
Tomorrow we are going for some guided tours, hope to see the most important things and visit some nice restaurant

No, watches are not a bargain in Hong Kong but there is high demand from mainland china for genuine high end watches (maybe as an investment). Also take a look at the Chinese jewelry stores, they are astonishing. Jade necklaces for GBP 100,000 and up for example, as well as gold in amazing quantities sold by weight. 10kg solid gold Winnie the pooh statues are particularly popular.

The Qantas lounge at the airport was one of the nicest I have been to, really impressive

Hong Kong is a great city for enjoying life, at all price points. Helps to have half of the best hotels in the world competing.
