A lot of typos there, but nothing a bit of proof reading won't sort out. However, a good review that tells you exactly what you need to know. I'm not a backpacker and haven't stayed in hostels for many years but it might have been helpful to add some comparisons to what you should expect for your money in this kind of place. by brereton66

Review of Hong Kong Museum of History, Hong Kong by tarachen

Advantages: Well planned perminant exhibit

Star Ferry Hong kong - Kowloon
Review of Star Ferry, Hong Kong by jude1276

Review of Peak Tram, Hong Kong by jude1276

Advantages: magnificent views

I have been on the peak tram several times and it makes my heart skip a beat every time. It is a steep climb and lasts for 7-8 minutes. The best place to sit on the way up is on the right hand side where you experience spectacular views . Once at the ... Read review

Great experience to see the 'real' Hong Kong
Review of Metropark Hotel, Mongkok, Hong Kong by Arboy1971

Advantages: Local culture
Disadvantages: Beds are 'hard' to get used to

Stayed here in February 2008 before embarking on a cruise to Vietnam and China. If you want to experience a more authentic Hong Kong I would highly recommend it although it does come as a bit of a shock at first. I wouldn't say that this hotel is really i ... Read review

It looks lovely and that must have been a great way to celebrate your special anniversary. David by Mitsudan
What a lovely anniversary holiday you've had. My SIL was working in Hong Kong recently and said his apartment was really small, and a work colleague laughred and said he was lucky her home was even smaller! So no surprise that the hotel rooms were small. Jo x by jo145
