Transportation to hotel
 
As I mentioned in a previous post, we are leaving next week for Hong Kong. Any hints on transportation to the hotel (Langham place in Mong Kok) from the airport? There are two of us.
I have heard there is a shuttle bus that is not expensive. Is this the case? what are my alternatives?

Thanks very much

Taxi - About HK$250

Airport Express train - HK$140 for group ticket of two to Kowloon; then take a taxi to hotel, about HK$50.

A21 Cityflyer airport bus - HK$33 per person. Or prepaid roundtrip ticket for HK$55 each.

There are other options, but those the ones I'll recommend.

These are perfect
Thank you for the info.
I have heard that the airport bus is more interesting than the train just because of the drive. I assume that I would get the same experience if we took a taxi.

Yes, because the taxi and the bus (except during typhoons) go on the top deck on the big Tsing Ma suspension bridge. The train rides "inside" the bridge. [During typhoons, buses will use the lower deck on the bridge with no view.]

Great. I think the taxi is for us. I want to enjoy every minute once we get there.
