Hong Kong is widely recognised as one of the world’s top shopping destinations, drawing millions of international visitors each year including many from Malaysia. The city offers an exciting blend of modern shopping malls, bustling street markets, and established retail districts that make it ideal for all types of shoppers.

Another reason Hong Kong remains attractive is its duty-free status, which allows visitors to enjoy competitive prices without additional sales tax. Seasonal sales events, such as the Winter and Summer Sales, offer further reductions on branded goods and popular items, making the shopping experience even more rewarding for Malaysian travellers looking for value and variety.

Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|2.67km dari pusat bandar
This is an older hotel. I chose it because the rooms are slightly larger than average, and we were traveling with a child, so we needed an extra bed. As for service, there's nothing for us mainlanders. I didn't see a single smile during my entire stay. They're all smiles and Chinese etiquette for foreigners, though. We were checking out at the same time as some foreigners, and the concierge helped them with their luggage to their car, but didn't even acknowledge us, let alone offer help. I initially booked for one night, and the next day I went to the front desk to extend my stay. I asked if an upgrade was possible. An impatient female receptionist told me the hotel was fully booked. I pointed out that I could see rooms available for booking on Ctrip, and asked why she was lying. She then said I had already booked a deluxe room, so there was no upgrade available. Posters celebrating the 29th anniversary of Hong Kong's return were plastered all over the streets of Hong Kong. It's been 29 years, and I've visited over ten times, yet they still show no goodwill towards mainlanders, only resistance and disgust. I really want to ask, where does your sense of superiority come from? Is the money spent by mainlanders not real money? Was my room rate significantly cheaper? I doubt they'd give me such a discount, so why the lack of friendly treatment? After a few days, my child complained that his chest was itchy. I saw some small red rashes. Later, my husband said his back was itchy, and I saw similar small red rashes. My husband suggested it might be heat rash. Our family didn't want to argue with the hotel and ruin our mood over this; we were too tired and hot, so we didn't pursue it further. Hong Kong was scorching hot these past few days, hot enough to make you dizzy. Due to this unusual weather, I'd advise against visiting at this time of year. The location is right by Harbour City, making it the closest hotel to the Star Ferry. Besides its good location, it has no other advantages. However, this geographical location, being in Tsim Sha Tsui with too many tourists and very close to the West Kowloon High-Speed Rail Station (under 40 HKD by taxi), means the shopping environment and service attitude are not as good as on Hong Kong Island. Next time, I will definitely choose to stay and shop/eat on Hong Kong Island. I will not choose this hotel again. I wasn't even in the mood to take a single photo to showcase the hotel. The only picture I have is of the distant sea viewed from the window.

The location is super convenient! It's just one stop from West Kowloon High-Speed Rail Station to Tsim Sha Tsui East, and the hotel is a short walk from the exit. The staff were really welcoming and polite. Plus, there are tons of great places to eat, drink, and have fun nearby. On Fridays and Saturdays, if you cross the road to the waterfront, you can even catch a drone show!

The transportation here is incredibly convenient. With Mong Kok East MTR station and a bus terminal nearby, getting around is a breeze. Don't hesitate when you see the stairs next to Mido Cafe – that's the hotel entrance. Besides the abundance of dining options in the moko mall downstairs, there are also plenty of eateries and dessert shops on Argyle Street. The first 500 meters of the walk there are covered by an indoor walkway, so you're protected from sun and rain. The room size is generous; we could easily open two suitcases. Our room even had a separate shower with excellent water pressure. The pool is right downstairs and looks very inviting and chill. We stayed for 6 nights and were very satisfied overall, but on the last night, I'm not sure if it was the towel or the sheets, but I ended up with 5 or 6 incredibly itchy red bumps on my feet (I was the only one of the three of us who got bitten, so I suspect it was the towel). This put a bit of a damper on what would have otherwise been a perfect stay.

Had a great stay at Regal Hongkong Hotel. The central Causeway Bay location is unbeatable, with malls, MTR and plenty of great food just steps away. The room was clean, comfortable and perfect for resting after our shopping sprees. We also loved the filtered water tap in the washroom which made refilling our bottles before heading out so convenient. The breakfast selection was a little limited and could be improved, but overall it was a pleasant stay. Would definitely stay again👍 The breakfast selection was a little limited and could be improved, but overall it was a pleasant stay. Would definitely stay again! 👍

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|1.89km dari pusat bandar
This time, I was given a room on the top floor. The air conditioning was quite noisy, and the soundproofing wasn't great. If you're a light sleeper, I'd recommend bringing earplugs. They don't provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or combs, so you'll need to bring your own. The location is super convenient, just a short walk from Jordan Station Exit D. You can also easily walk to Donki and Victoria Harbour from the hotel. I often choose to stay here when I'm in town for concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum or to visit the Xiqu Centre in West Kowloon, as it's all within walking distance.

Comfortable Stay in a Great Location We had a wonderful stay at Best Western Plus Hotel Kowloon in Tsim Sha Tsui. One of the things we appreciated most was its convenient location—everything we needed was within easy reach, from restaurants and convenience stores to MTR stations and popular attractions. Our room was clean and comfortable, providing a nice place to rest after long days of exploring Hong Kong. The staff were friendly and helpful, and check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. What stood out to us was how easy it was to get around the city from the hotel. Whether we were heading to Disneyland, Victoria Harbour, or simply looking for good food nearby, the location made our trip much more enjoyable. Overall, Best Western Plus TST offered great value for money and served as the perfect home base for our Hong Kong adventure. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit!

The Kimberley Hotel (Tsim Sha Tsui Metropark Hotel)

8.4/105541 Ulasan
Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|2.14km dari pusat bandar
For its price, the hotel's location, service, and facilities are all excellent. I stayed in a newly renovated twin room on the 16th floor this time, which had one double bed and one single bed. The location is incredibly convenient, just a few minutes' walk from the MTR station. The room size is definitely decent for Hong Kong; don't compare it to mainland hotel standards or luxury hotels in Hong Kong. Compared to other hotels in the same price range, it's absolutely great. I arrived around 11 PM. Due to the hotel's eco-friendly policy, toiletries aren't provided for free, but you can purchase them at the front desk. A small reusable pouch containing a two-person set costs HKD 20, which I found both cost-effective and convenient. The biggest highlight, which I must recommend and is perfect for tourists, is that my room with two beds had three bedside tables. Each table had power sockets and USB ports, and one even had wireless charging – incredibly convenient! The quality of the slippers provided in the room was also good. The large window offered a bright street view, and the desk, over a meter long, was great for placing belongings. I'm very grateful to the lovely lady at the front desk who upgraded me to this newly renovated room when she saw I arrived late at 11 PM. The cleaning lady, Chang Dandan, was also fantastic; she promptly helped me with any requests. Both were very warm and had excellent attitudes. Overall, this was a great stay. I actually read some negative reviews about cleanliness and drainage issues, but I didn't encounter any. The water pressure and drainage were both excellent, and the room was clean and hygienic. They provided two alcohol wipes for disinfection, the bedding and towels were dry, and the air conditioning worked perfectly with no noise even on low fan speed. As a very light sleeper, I slept really well. I won't upload photos of my room since I messed it up, but the public areas were clean and bright, as you can see from a couple of photos I took. Also, I recommend Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ on the first floor of the Miramar Shopping Centre opposite the hotel – it's delicious!

Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong|2.53km dari pusat bandar
For a city as compact as Hong Kong, the room size at this hotel is really quite good. It's clean, hygienic, and the location couldn't be more convenient. This will definitely be my go-to hotel whenever I'm in Hong Kong! It has a pool and a great gym, though the pool is only open during the day and closes at 6 PM. Basically, only kids can handle swimming under the intense sun at that time. Another thing I found pretty useless was the kettle. The 'high-tech' kettle provided in the room was just not user-friendly for me, and my American friend felt the same way. Trying to make tea with it was such a hassle. 😂

After arriving at Kowloon Station via the Airport Express, I walked through West Kowloon Station to Austin MTR Station. Exiting from Gate F, I found the hotel immediately. The entire walk was indoors. The hotel is conveniently located near both Austin and Jordan stations, making it easy to get to Harbour City and Victoria Harbour. When I was researching hotels, I chose this one mainly because of reviews praising its cleanliness, and it definitely lived up to expectations. It was also quiet and had great service. From my room window, I could see a corner of Victoria Harbour. I happened to stay during Typhoon Hinnamnor, and it was quite comfortable to be in the hotel. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Hong Kong.

The female staff at the front desk are gentle and friendly, but some male staff can be arrogant and overbearing, speaking unpleasantly and giving off an 'if you don't like it, don't stay' vibe, which is off-putting.
