yea, the price is very cheap i heard. I read that they got a special cheap plan because of the "free" tourist coming from china.
Check out US7 site during a clear day, and just go to that heli-pad right south of us7 site to check out the price. hehehe

u will be fine by choosing either Majestic, Eaton, or Park hotel. Majestic and Eaton are basically no difference in terms of location since one of them is just at the next city block of the second. So u need to check out their website and see what facilities they got. You don't need to worry going home at 2 or 3 at night since Majestic is right at Nathan rd, and Eaton is one building from the nathan road. (the MTR stop the operation at about 12:40 at nite though)

I don't quite recommend Royal Plaza because the location is a bit remote compare to other hotels in your list.

Your choice priority should be (based solely on location):
1 and 2 (top choice): Majestic, Eaton
3: Park hotel
4. Royal plaza

Oh , i didnt knew there is a helipad next to US7...
anyways! i will walk there soon, so i will see.

Vincent! i think the cheap one u mention is a tour by HKTB
its 800HK$ including lunch/dinner at Jumbo Floating Restaurant and a boat tour from Central to Aberdeen.
BUT: the heliflight is only 12min and u cannot ask the pilot where to fly...

OK now its out :P
yessss i will take a helicopter ..next sunday; i got connections and will bargain a bit
the heli starts from top of Penninsula

InitialD18!
i will be at Aqua on 21st
reservation(window seat of course) still done hehe

BTW: Yesterday i didn't went to that chrurch. got up too late haha
i met the forumer justin(chisinchai)from SSP and i showed him RadioCityTower(22/F)
then we walked from Happy Valley to Stubbs Road where we ended up with a lotta tourists from China Mainland and Japan.
They were sooo noisy haha
It was at that little Observation Point above Lover's Rock.

today i got up late coz i meet some leng lui last night for late dinner.
so i will just take some pics in TST , YauMaTei and Mongkok and have dinner with one of that leng lengs again

Mike

haha... maybe i'm a bit late to reply.

yeah eaton is definitely the most convenient one among them... for me i'd choose the royal plaza because it's actually a very very nice + grand hotel. if it's in a slightly better location, it'll definitely be a 5-star hotel. you'll be amazed by how many marbles and granites they use in the lobby and corridor. :P

in fact, it's actually not too inconvenient. it's right at mongkok KCR station and it's right next to the huge shopping mall complex and there's a covered walkway connecting the hotel and the mtr station. (10 minutes walk approximately)

check the virtual tour in the hotel website and you'll see.

its better to lived close to MTR station ...

vvill > Thanks for your suggestion!

Actually still not too late but by looking at the map, the location is a bit out of da way and it is not too near an MTR station. Yea.....the hotel is the best of the bunch but I guess I'll have to sacrifice hotel luxury to location

I would pick Eaton. I stayed in a lot of hotels in Hong Kong before but the ones you listed Eaton seems the best choice. Its actually very convenient very close to Tsimshatsui, the subway station is just a few walks away(im sure nobody is that lazy). There are some old buildings next to the hotel but you're not gonna be staying in the hotel looking out the window all the time anyways. Eaton hotel also is located right next to Nathan Road which is the main road in Hong Kong that leads you straight out into the harbor. Check out Eaton Hotel's website if you have not:
