Experience of the stay
Great location. Enjoyed Disneyland. Even as a first-timer in Hong Kong, I had no trouble accessing Hong Kong Disneyland.
The purpose of this trip was Hong Kong Disneyland. Since I hadn't been to Hong Kong since it was returned to China, I had worries and fears, but I'm really glad I went! There were many delicious restaurants and bakeries. There are plenty of cafes and shopping centers, and the popular bakehouse is located just as you exit the station, making it a truly recommended place.
Given that it was hot, I made a reservation with the assumption that we might return to the hotel partway through. It was hard to gauge the distance. Ultimately, staying here proved to be the best location.
Upon arriving at Hong Kong International Airport, it seems there is a hotel bus. Since we arrived late, I informed them in advance via email about our late arrival. I received a very polite reply. I will upload an image with instructions on how to take the hotel bus, which reportedly operates every 20 minutes until 23:40. Unfortunately, we arrived too late and took a taxi to the hotel. The taxi zoomed at incredible speeds (laughs) and we arrived at the hotel in no time. I think the bus would have taken about 10 minutes (the distance doesn't seem significant, but the bus circulates around the airport area, which accounted for the travel time).
On the return, we stayed at a different hotel beforehand, but we again went to Kam Lung Station and took the double-decker bus from the bus stop to the airport. The bus fare was surprisingly under 4 HKD (around 3, something).
About the hotel: The lobby has a spacious and luxurious atmosphere. Indeed, it felt high-end. There was only one front desk, where the service was very efficient.
The last time I stayed at Novotel in Korea, I experienced first-class service at the front desk and their demeanor. The pleasant aroma that filled the lobby also uplifted my mood.
No card deposit or card presentation was required.
The room was surprisingly spacious compared to expectations. It may not be clear in the pictures, but the furniture is sturdy and large, giving a sense of space in the room. The bed was about 2 meters wide. Two adults could sleep without bumping into each other.
The room had a shower only, with no bathtub. Additionally, there was no space for changing after showering, since the bed and shower were separated by just one pane of smoked glass, making it a bit inconvenient for changing (the toilet was separate). The water pressure was decent. There was a toothbrush and toothpaste provided, and a hairbrush made of wood. On the first day, we had two bottles of water. On the second day, they provided four additional bottles. Water is expensive in Hong Kong, and the water is valuable (indeed, it is quite pricey, so it was a relief).
The view from the window included a large pool and pool beds scattered around, creating a very charming atmosphere.
It was raining, and I did not see anyone in the pool, but it looked like a beautiful photo spot.
It is a nice hotel, so I expect they use good shampoos and conditioners, but my hair felt rough after washing; thus, the treatment I brought from Japan was quite helpful.
Regarding the route to the station: The route from the hotel to Kam Lung Station is a bit complicated, so here's how to do it. There is an escalator to the left when facing the hotel front desk. If you go up that escalator, you’ll see a shopping area spreading out on both sides in front of you. Go to the right there. There is a downward escalator directly in front, which you can take down. Immediately to the left in front is Mister Donut, so go left before that. After taking the escalator down on the right side of 7-Eleven, you will reach the station ticket gate. (This might be a roundabout way, but since it can be confusing from the hotel to the station, I hope this helps.)
Regarding the distance to Hong Kong Disneyland: Since the hotel is directly connected to Kam Lung Station and goes through a shopping mall, you won't need an umbrella and won’t get wet in the rain. The station is not very spacious as there is only one line, so you can board the train quickly. Kam Lung is the terminal, so as long as you get on the train that arrives, it’s very straightforward. From what I observed, trains run every ten minutes, and the electronic boards clearly showed how many minutes until the next train, making it convenient.
It goes to the next Sunny Bay station. Upon arriving at Sunny Bay, since it is the opposite direction from Kam Lung, you will need to move to the opposite platform where the Disney Line is located, so it’s quite easy. You will arrive at Disneyland in just one station. The train ride takes about 17 minutes, including transfer waiting times. It feels like no time at all. The fare is 17 HKD. Since the hotel is directly connected to the station, if you get tired at Disneyland, it's possible to take a break back at the hotel! Here, the distance is no issue.
Experiences during the trip
About Hong Kong Disneyland: As rumored, the waiting time is almost non-existent. There was a bit of a wait for some attractions in the afternoon, but it seems possible to conquer everything! A trip just for Hong Kong Disneyland is definitely worthwhile!
*By the way, everyone was very kind during this trip to Hong Kong. Flight tickets are relatively affordable. Although hotel prices are high, I booked through hafh, and it was very helpful that I could cover the accumulated hotel costs without any worries!
Once you get outside the exits from Kam Lung Station to the bus stop, you'll find the popular bakehouse right away.
It wasn't crowded when I visited. At 12 HKD each, it was indeed delicious, so I recommend it.
Ascending the escalator from the station towards the hotel, there is a lovely cafe immediately to the right. I enjoyed an enormous and delightful coffee and chocolate donut. The staff served with smiles, allowing me to have a relaxed morning. The yogurt and oatmeal bowl was also delicious. It's a great choice when you're unsure where to have breakfast.
At the supermarket located underground? there was sushi and local Hong Kong delicacies. I was surprised to find many Japanese foods, including bread.
On the final day, since we stayed at another hotel, we used a double-decker bus from Kam Lung to the airport.
It was conveniently located right by the entrance. It had a space for suitcases. We placed them on the first floor and went to the second floor.
Hong Kong, visited by travelers from all over the world. The airport is very clean and gigantic.
When returning, I think it's good to leave with ample time. Even with many travelers, the system was well organized, and we hardly waited at immigration.
However, once you get inside... it is very spacious. Depending on the airline you use, moving to the boarding gate might take some time. After immigration, there are plenty of places to eat, relax, and shop. Entering early allows you to enjoy a lot, and there were several 24-hour open places like McDonald's.
As soon as you arrive at the airport (whether by train, bus, or taxi), there is a large 7-Eleven nearby.
At that 7-Eleven, egg roll cookies were 20 HKD. They came in cute bags with two pieces each, and they were very tasty. The box is sturdy, making it a great souvenir.
For transportation, I used an Octopus card. I downloaded the app on my smartphone. While taxis need cash, the Octopus card can be used at many places. Considering the refund, downloading from the smartphone is more convenient than the physical Octopus card. If you download the Tourist Octopus card for foreigners, you can use it.
I used it until it was almost empty, but I found out that refunds are possible, and I processed a refund for some leftover balance.
