Thank goodness for "google" and our cyberfriends. LOL

HOTEL REVIEW:

2-minute walk from Ocean Plaza and Kowloon Park

5-minute walk from Victoria Harbour Plaza and Star Ferry Terminal. Hong Kong International Airport is a 45-minute drive away. -right near airport bus A21 and also MTR station. short walk to  waterfront. 

Good location. Close to everything. Nice restaurants, 7eleven within walking distance. Worth the value for money. Room is super tiny but at least clean!

PHP 5779.25/room (3 nights)

BRUNCH

No rice available for breakfast. They start serving rice at 11:30am, and quite more expensive. :(( K. Hihi After brunch, walk around the city, learn how to commute or visit The Clock Tower! It's all about walking in Hongkong, so make sure to wear comfortable foot wears. :) Hehe

With Hongkong's bilingual signs everywhere, you'll never get lost! Chos.

icecream!!!! you can pay using your octopus card.

Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) is the heart and soul of Hong Kong. Also the major tourist hub in metropolitan Hong Kong, with many shops and restaurants that cater to tourists. Many of the museums in the territory are located in the area.
