Good location for early flight

Hi everyone

We have a one night stopover in Hong Kong in September. As we have so little time and an early morning flight (8am flight), we really need to be somewhere handy for the airport. Although my boyfriend has visited Hong Kong, I haven%26#39;t and I would like somewhere close to harbour area to experience it at night and not be stuck at an airport hotel. Is the Kowloon side best? Would anyone know of budget-mid range hotel (preferably no more than 拢60 per night) which would be suitable - maybe close to train/airport express pickup point.

Thanks for any advice!

The only affordable hotel that is close to the airport is the Novotel Citigate Hotel. But it is not really that accessible to the city.

My suggestion is that you book into a hotel in Kowloon.You can get to the airport by 6:15 am if you take the airport express from Kowloon Station. The train leaves at about 5.50 am. You can also check in for your flight at the station so that will save you time.

That should leave you plenty of time to catch your flight.

For good access to airport and harbour with a relatively low budget, try Mingle on The Wing, it is only about 5 minutes by taxi to Hong Kong Station where you can check-in there and then take the train to airport, you can leave hotel by 5:45am -

Thanks for the responses!

Mingle on the wing looks good but doesn%26#39;t seem to have availability on our date although I try the hotel directly. What about Hotel Benito for proximity for airport express etc? From reading reviews on TA it might be suitable? We should be able to do the early check-in (haven%26#39;t quite got my head around it yet but they seem to sell it as being easy to do even with checking baggage in!) as we are flying with Dragon Air.
