Stayed at Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.

Highly recommend Isola (Italian) for lunch; a fabulous view even with the rain and food was excellent. Also had a great dinner at the Water Margin in Times Square in Causeway Bay (North Eastern Chinese) which had a very interesting, rustic Chinese ambience. Got around by walking and the MTR which was very easy.

Stayed at Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
|
Ocean Park with Gray Line Tours. Hon Po Restaurant on Austin Road.
Marco Polo HK Hotel is just like 50 metres away from Star Ferry and a ride on the ferry is just HK2.20cts. The hotel is housed together with their other chain namely Gateway and Prince surrounded with shops, cafes and restaurants, supermarkets and fast food. So its very convenient.

Stayed at Concourse, Hotel - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
|
Cafes outside the hotel served HK$15 for set breakfast which include sandwiches, noodles and hot drinks per person. Open at 6.30 am. Some other cafes opened 24 hours. Useful if you are joining the Grayline tour located at the hotel which starts either at 7.20 am or 7.55 am depending on the tour packages. Must be punctual and eat your breakfast before the tour or the tour staff will leave without you. No stopping for breakfast. The tour staff will then pick guests from other hotel to make up the group tour. For Dim Sum, you can take a 5 minutes walk to the Pacific Shopping Centre and take a lift from basement to the 5th floor where a restaurant served good Dim Sum. For 6 persons we paid about HK$250. Fish dishes were very expensive in any restaurant in HK. Ladies Street is about 10 mins walk from the Hotel. Need to bargain hard. The male owner of a corner shop in Ladies St, selling bubble tea was very rude. Drink is expensive and cost HK$100 for a small cup. We did not know that for every drink we had to pay him first before he gave us the drink. We were ordering for 6 persons and thought that we would paid him the exact amount after the 6 orders. The shop along Ladies St is selling good Wife Biscuits. Need to carry properly as biscuits crumble easily.

Stayed at Bishop Lei International - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
|
Spanish restaurant - Ricos. We lived in Spain for 3 years and the food at Ricos was as good as any we had eaten in Barcelona. Use the escalators to get around this area - no need to take a taxi.

Stayed at Rosedale on the Park Hotel Hong Kong - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
|
If you like to have fresh and economy seafood, you have to go to Lamma island instead of Lei Yue Mun seafood bazaar.
At Lamma island you can not only enjoy the delicious seafood, but also have a outlying island stroll along several arranged sideways. If you like the india culture and food, you should go to the chung king mansion. Just try to find one ordinary snack shop and order pieces of samosa with special green source, it's a real treat at this bustling and hustling building.

Stayed at YMCA - The Salisbury - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
|
Loved the YMCA Salisbury where we stayed 3 years earlier..
The hotel (harbour view suites) has probably the best view of the Harbour you could get, certainly for the price.
Literally right in the centre of the city, with nearby facilities including banks, supermarkets, and the Star Ferry.
The Peninsula Hotel is across the road and it's worthwhile going over there for High Tea, a throwback to colonial days.
Again this trip one of the highlights of our stay in Hong Kong was a 30 to 40 minuts ferry trip to Lamma Island for a fantasic meal at one of the many seafood restaurants.....an experience I would recommend heartily.,
Great seafood and friendly service.

Stayed at Silvermine Beach Hotel - Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
|
Bike hire is about 30m from the hotel door and very reasonable at HK$10/hr or HK$30/day. We used the bikes to ride to some local spots and had a great time. The local food was good including the 'China Bear' Pub (next to McDonalds) which served some very nice english meals. This was much appreciated after living on Mainland China for a few months. The Pizzeria, opposite the Ferry terminal, also made a decent pizza. We looked around Lantau Island using a day pass for the bus. It was both simple and interesting.
