hi $704 is after taxes and it is only 4days 3 nights, so is it too expensive?
I m travelling during the June holidays.
ggspot may feel it is expensive because he is comparing it to a hostel.
here's my take:
It's a fair deal. HK hotels are NOT CHEAP. I've paid much more than you do for Majestic hotel (surcharge upon surcharge) because of a major exhibition in HK as well as a fair in Canton. (Paid the equivalent of a 4-5* hotel room rate - ?$0.9k for 3D2N).
Also don't forget, you're staying over a weekend when room rates are a little higher.
Someone mentioned that the Majestic is very comfortable. It is NOT.
It is functional but not luxurious as you would expect from a 3 star hotel.
It has a gym (if you can call a threadmill & a stationary cycle in a hotel room a gym).
But it is still better than the hostel in ggspot recommendations.
You do not need to sleep pushed against the wall.
There is more room.
You get a bath, instead of having to stand to shower by the WC.
It is really up to you to decide your level of desired comfort while on holiday - some like to rough it up, some like to live like a king. Then, you will of course, then get what you paid for.
