Where to stay for tourists
It is best for travelers to stay in the center: in fact, the city has two centers, represented in the form of the western part of Hong Kong Island and the northern part of the Kowloon Peninsula. But even if tourists stay at a hotel remote from the center, it will not cause them much trouble - they can just get to any place by taxi or public transport. Important: it is worth considering that rooms in 3-star hotels may have a limited area, and the view from the window - “to please” deaf courtyard. Is the view from the window important to you? Take a closer look at hotels where you can choose between Sea View or Harbor View rooms.
