koloon- as close to water as you can afford-views are everything here.. plus you are near Star ferry and the MTR

There are generally 2 popular tourist accommodation areas.

 

On Kowloon Island, Tsim Sha Tsui and extending along Nathan Road/ MTR (subway) line - Jordan, Yau Ta Tei, Mong Kok, even Prince Edward. The further away from the harbour/Tsim sha Tsui, the prices go down slightly. Even Hung Hom is not too far from the action, but in this case you take a short bus ride to get to the action. Mtr will require interchanges. The action is around.

 

On Hong Kong Island, the popular shopping area is Causeway Bay, and anywhere along the MTR line from Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai to Causeway Bay are good. Slightly out of this zone and cheaper but still manageable as MTR in Hk is convenient and fast - Sheung Wan to the west of Central and Tin Hau to the east of Causeway Bay.

 

The famous star ferry runs from Tsim Sha Tsui pier on Kowloon Island to (1) Central pier or (2) Wan Chai Pier. Many ferries to outlying islands eg Lantau Island, Lamma Island also run from Central Pier.

 

Generally if you are not too far away from these areas and your hotel is not too far from an MTR station you are fine. Hong Kong is a very accessible city and even taking is not too bad sometimes if you have 3 or 4 in a party.

 

In certain months which are peak times eg October especially early October when Mainland Chinese flood into Hong Kong and also many conventions are held in HK, hotel rates may increase drastically, double or higher. You may also want to check out eg airbnb for alternatives.

The best value is the Salisbury. It is 5 minutes from the star ferry. Next door to the Peninsula.

Sorry I am so bad with typing on ipad sorry for all those typos. Anyway on second last para I meant to say that even getting around by taxi is not too costly if you have 3 or 4 people. But generally HK is very accessible by public transport.

 

Good luck!

We love the Langham Mongkok especially the club floor. Great location, spacious rooms. We will stay there again in December.

I'll belatedly second that.

Right near the Star Ferry terminal at Tsim Sha Tsui, harbour-view rooms available, great value.

We stayed at theRoyal Plaza in Mong Kok a couple of years ago and we've booked in for a few days in 3 weeks time its, a lot of Hotel in a good area for the price.

 

The MTR is right at the Hotel so there shouldn't be any worry of the protests that are going on at the moment.

We have paid the high price of staying in Central, but for the last several years we have stayed at the Hyatt in Tsim Tsam Shu just off Nathan road and with MTR station. Priced well great breakfast and shopping in small mall under hotel
