HK hotels question

Sadly the days of cashing out my points at the Conrad are over now that I've depleted my points. At the same time, paying $400+/night for one of the virtuoso properties isn't sustainable. Any recommendation for hotels around $200, preferably close to a MTR station near somewhere lively? Also prefer to not look out the window and see another condo's window two feet away (also don't care for harbour view). I've been to HK many times, and go there often, so doesn't have to be touristy, but preferably lively.

Hi,

How about ( just for starters)

Courtyard by Marriott ( by HKU)
Hyatt Regency TST
Hilton Garden Inn Mongkok

If you do not mind being in Sha tin there is the Courtyard and Hyatt Regency

Regards

I was recently at The Fleming in Wan Chai, it's near MTR and there are a bunch of nightclubs/bars in the area.

The Sha Tin Courtyard is fine (I've stayed a few times) but it's out of the way, with a 45-50 minute MTR ride to/from Central. Also, it's not at all lively.

My parents just completed a mid-budget trip to Hong Kong. They liked the Holiday Inn Golden Mile and the Prudential Hotel - both are within a few steps of the MTR. If the Hyatt Regency isn't too expensive, they prefer that hotel. However, I haven't seen any rates below $200 usd recently for that property.

Including the long walk from the entrance to the platform, the Courtyard isn't all that close to the MTR. Not to say far, but not close, either.

You might be able to get Royal Garden or even IC Grand Stanford in that price range on certain nights. Both are a good 10min walk from TST station platform, but Id much prefer East TST to being right by MTR but in a place like Mong Kok. Although Ive never stayed at Holiday Inn on Nathan Rd, thats probably a nice option for OP, as well.

I'm surprised the HI Golden Mile was recommended. I've walked past this place many times, and walked in the lobby a few times too. The place seems very run down. I've stayed at the Hyatt TST and it seems like it would be miles better than the HI. True?

I recently stayed at the Murray which was a nice hotel, but a bit far from MTR.

It was very lively, every night there seemed to be something going on there.

How is the Fleming? It seems like it was renovated in the past few years. Is noise from the night clubs / bars an issue at night?

When was the last time you've been there? The room my parents stayed in was recently remodeled. I think that if you are comparing a sub-$200 property with the Conrad, it's going to be disappointing no matter what. Again, I had said that we (parents and myself) prefer the Hyatt TST, but it hasn't been under $200 recently (at least not when I stayed there last month), so it depends on your price sensitivity.

It's not that close to the MTR, it's probably in between the HKU and Sai Ying Pun stations. About a 7 minute walk to get to the platforms. It's also not particularly lively at night given that the area is more commercial in the day for wholesalers. Although it would be livelier than most cities.

However, it does have a shuttle to Central and is very close to the tram stops and major bus routes.

The Jen Hotel is right around the corner from HKU station and has a nice Malaysian restaurant on premises.
