Default Where to overnight in Hong Kong?

Flying Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong to Brisbane from Vancouver. On
our return (early December 2004) we will have to overnight in Hong
Kong. I had posted a while ago on this but can't find the thread.

Does anyone have any recommendations - based on first hand experience
- as to a decent, reasonably priced hotel in Hong Kong? We arrive at
8:00 PM and depart about 3:00 PM next day

What do you consider decent? What price range and quality for
example? There are tons of places there for all tastes and price
ranges.

Hi jbk - I was thinking of something in the $100 - $150 CAD range .
We checked out the Regal on the web and the best rate is 1500.00 HK
dollars - which is about $250 CAD - and a little pricey for me.

Someone mentioned that Cathay has packages - but can't find it on
their website. How does one access the packages with Cathay? I
booked online and they didn't offer any packages.

Thanks in advance for all your advice!

Can you access www.priceline.com from Canada? If not, try joining the
Singapore version at http://www.priceline.com.sg/eng/default.asp . They
can sometimes have fantastic prices if you use them correctly.

If you check Regal Hotels website, they have last minute specials that
are considerably below their normal rates--right now at HK650 for the
Regal Kowloon which is quite a nice hotel for instance. You might
want to make a backup reservation so you have a reservation and then
check the Regal prices just before you go to see what their last
minute rates are. I would try the Evergreen in your price range,
which is a small family owned hotel I have stayed at many times which
is ok and you can get it on www.asiatravel.com and make a reservation
there.

The YMCA Kowloon, right by the Star Ferry and good free breakfast, usually
around 600 HKD.

You can get a really nice Hotel for CAD 120 in early Dec
See http://b2b.hotelclub.net/enter.asp?id=4566
You can search in CAD or HKD on this site
Maybe something like New World Renaissance 5-star at CAD 121
The Eaton or Miramar 4-star at CAD 115
Prudential or Charterhouse 3-star at CAD 90
