Citadines Ashley for family of five?? Pls Help!

We are a family of two adults and three small children ages 6, 4 and 2 yrs who will be staying 5 nights in Hong Kong on a stopover to Europe.

Have been looking at family friendly accommodation on a budget- noone seems to want a family of five unless you pay exhorbitant rates! I realise that HK isn%26#39;t cheap and that the room size is small compared to other cities..

I%26#39;ve been looking at Citadines Ashley apartments as they are so central to everything. Also a reasonable price. Realistically, one small child will probably end up in the parent%26#39;s bed so just need another bed for the two older boys. The apartment with the bed and a sofa bed would probably suit- does anyone have any real info. about the size of these %26#39;suites%26#39;? we will probably be out most of the day and I like the idea of not having to travel far to get back to the hotel for a rest before going out again for dinner/ to see the fireworks/ lights etc. So mainly a place to shower and sleep..

My concern is that we will probably have quite a bit of luggage as we%26#39;ll be in Europe for a few months: might have 2 biggish bags/ suitcases, a stroller and some handluggage of course.. will there be anywhere to put these?? I plan to have one bag to use in HK ie. will pack what we need for HK only so only need access to that one. Looking at the airport, the left luggage is very expensive so not an option.

thanks for any ideas, information and feedback on this place and any others that might be suitable!!

Have a look at YMCA hotel website.

Try the Shamrock on Nathan Road. They have deluxe suites that have two double beds.

Langham place has quad rooms, but they seem a bit hard to get. Nice place if a bit crowded in the surrounding area.

Thanks for the tips: unfortunately a five star hotel is out of our budget with the kids- fine if we were only after a double! The initial price I got for Shamrock was HK$4000 per night!

The YMCA looks great but also pricey for family rooms-around AUD$400 per night. I will keep looking for somewhere clean, safe and with enough beds for 2 adults, 2 children for around AUD$200 per night. Thanks again- I appreciate the responses.

We (2A2C (2Y%26amp;8Y) stayed Citadines Ashley 1.5 years ago. The bed is double so may be a bit tramp with 2A 1C. May be better with 1A2C on the double bed and 1A1C on the sofa bed. Ask for room with bath. Great for kids after a long day.

The apartment is clean, has a small fridge and a microwave. Sufficient wardrope space. A bit of pain for our 2 big suicase but we managed OK. Just unpack what is need to the wardrope and you will be fine.

The location is perfect, only 5 min away from TST MTR. As our 2Y still needed afternoon nap, we were back for the afternoon and went out for dinner again.

We will definitely stay there again.

I%26#39;m very surprised at the quote you got from the Shamrock. We%26#39;ve got a triple at 1200 HKD a night and a double at about 800 HKD.

Did you contact the hotel directly or go through a booking agent?

The Shamrock rate was their rack rate posted on their website: I will look at cheaper rates elsewhere online- haven%26#39;t had time.

thanks for info. re Citadines Ming28 - will have another look as the location seems so fabulous and we also have a child needing a sleep in the afternoon so it could be ideal. We are prepared to put up with cramped space as long as we have beds and it%26#39;s clean and fresh.

Maybe try contacting the Shamrock direct. That was what we did. I had a look on their website and I can%26#39;t see a rate for a quad suite, just those for twins, doubles and triples, similar to the price we%26#39;ve been given. I found the confirmation they sent and the relevant part is here

Accommodation : One (1) Standard Twin Room (with 2 single beds) %26amp; One (1) Deluxe Triple Room (with 3 single beds)

Number of Guest : Five (5)

Daily Room Rate : HK$880.00 for the Standard Twin Room %26amp; HK$1,250.00 for the Deluxe Triple Room

*Room rates are inclusive of 10% Service Charge and daily Complimentary Buffet breakfast per room per night

We%26#39;re going in July.

(I don%26#39;t have shares in this hotel or anything, by the way! It%26#39;s just we%26#39;ve stayed there before and found them good quality and good value, and I%26#39;d like to help out another family)

thanks for looking further into this for us! That is a good rate for the triple- I have since seen a rate inc tax for HK$1330 per night without breakfast..

Still have a bit of time- we don%26#39;t leave until May so will contact hotel directly and ask about the quad rooms but with the Aussie dollar as it is, it will be pricey! Thanks again: I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

You%26#39;re welcome isaMelbourne. I used to live in St Kilda and we%26#39;ll be going back there after Hong Kong (only for a few days, then straight up to Cairns - Melbourne%26#39;s too brrrrr in July!)

Good luck with your search.
