Hong Kong is a giant Asian metropolis, with countless visitors arriving annually. As such, there are many types of accommodation available, and in a range of prices. Keep in mind that the closer one chooses to stay near the Central District, the more expensive prices will be. Expand your search into the New Territories or even Lantau Island for cheaper Hong Kong accommodation.
For those looking for upscale luxury hotels, Hong Kong has a wide selection. Some of the most beautiful and popular hotels in Hong Kong include the Peninsula, Mandarin Oriental, and the Four Seasons. Each of these can be quite expensive, although deals can certainly be had online or booked far enough in advance. “Budget” hotels in Hong Kong will still run you roughly 85 AUD, and include locations like the Island Pacific Hotel, and the Ramada Hong Kong.
For a truly unique experience, consider camping in one of Hong Kong’s many country parks. There are generally plenty of vacancies during the week, although weekends fill up quickly. This is an ideal way to experience the natural scenic beauty of Hong Kong.
Another budget option is to stay in one of the hostels throughout the city. In the Tsim Tsa Tsui or Mong Kong, one can find very affordable accommodation for around 25 AUD, which is probably as cheap as you will be able to find in Hong Kong. These rooms are often nothing more than a bed, and perhaps a shared bathroom, but are generally safe and easily accessible by public transportation.
