Hi guys, planning for a trip to HK on 11july to 17july.

Which airline provide best offers now?

Wat are the choices of hotel if budget <sgd$100, <sgd$150 ?
Location wise, preferrable in mongkok area, near MTR station, near ladies street.

I've browsed thru this thread, came to notice the 2 hostel which in mongkok area, 2 mins walk to ladies street. Any updated info on the 2 hostel? Cos it abt 1yr back when the review was posted.
Best if u guys can provide me with ranking(??/10) like the location? easy access? room space? private bathroom? rates? bed? etc...

Walk towards Bank of China. In front of BoC, take the slope on the right hand side. Peak Tram is about 5-10mins walk from BoC.

I had to agree with hwaa,

Temple Street is better with not muc tourist around. If your gf want to shop take her to Causeway Bay, Time Square, Jumbo SOGO & etc... i can 99% sure she will like it there or Lamham Place in Mongkok.
