Stayed there twice previously. It's in a good location. Easy accessibility to the MTR. Located within shopping mall. Good and reasonably priced food around. Near Temple Street market.

21. Beware of people who tries to sell you tickets before the bus comes.

nobody stayed in hostels? i stayed in this Wing Fat hostel at Causeway Bay for the past 3 times tt i've been to HK. near the MTR and cheap cheap S$30 per pax per night. just take A11 bus from the airport (HKD40) and reaches near the hostel, within walking distance
though the hostel nothing glam, it is decent enough for ppl on a budget :)

HK hotels are pricey, especially during peak seasons. If u must stay in a 5 star hotel, then u have to pay exorbitant rates for them. IMO, if yr purpose is to sight see and shop till u drop in HK, u'll only be spending a little time in the hotel. U'll probably not be making full use of the services/facilities available in a 5 star hotel. In such cases, u should be focusing on locality, especially if u r frequently traveling on the MTR. If u do not mind a 4 star or even a 3 star hotel, some decent ones are Kowloon Hotel (4 star) (right on top East TST Exit L2/L3/L4) and Lagos Hotel (formerly Mayfair Garden)(3 mins walk to Jordon B2/B1 MTR). These are all located in Kowloon, very central and conveniently located. Kowloon Hotel should be < S$400/night for std room and Lagos < $200/night.
I'm not sure of Cosmo Hotel though. In addition, be advised that the 3 day unlimited Octopus pass does not give u free access (only MTR) to KCR, u have to top-up value to travel on KCR line.
