I will be in HK for just 4 days as a side trip. My question is generally what's the best way to handle currency since I am from the US. Should I pay using my card where possible and have cash on hand for those other instances.
And what about vendors they usually only take cash correct? What's the availability of ATM's? Any help is appreciated.

Hi VTs, my wife and I will be visiting Kowloon for two nights from Feb.26-28, 2008.Being our first time, an early posting with great advices from VTs will greatly assist in our trip planning.

We will arrive into Kowloon from Macau at the China Ferry Terminal(CFT).

Firstly, assistance with accommodation much appreciated.Our preference criteria:-
i). close proximity (within 10minutes distant by walking) to MTR stations;
ii). Safety /minimal noise disruption(i.e. not close to any ongoing construction sites);
(iii). Friendly/Courteous hotel staff;
(iv). Room/Hotel facilities- basically since we will be out most of the time-just require a comfortable hotel room of reasonable size,with breakfast provided, hot water c/w shower.
(v). Walking proximity or easily accessible with MTR to inexpensive eateries.

We have few hotels on the list- Kimberley, PArk, Renaissance, Marco Polo Prince, Regal, BP International, Royal Pacific, Stanford HillView, Nathan Hotel.
As rates will vary from hotels' website or third party websites and also time of booking; we are looking at a budget of HKD500-600 nett/night with breakfast for two included.

We welcome other suggestions from VTs from their previous staying experience.

Also your kind advise on transfer (to/fro) China Ferry Terminal to your recommended hotel(s). After the 2 nights in Kowloon, we will return again to Macau for our onward flight back to Kuala LUmpur (Malaysia). But we will stay a night in Macau.

Trust to hear helpful and good insights-hotels, must not miss sights, inexpensive eateries for our kind consideration.

Thank you very much.
