What's Happenin'
Overall, I would recommend Dorsett Mongkok to travelers going to Hong Kong based on my experience. The staff were very helpful. The rooms are priced higher than most hotels since it's a 4-star hotel but you do get value for your money. It's not as expensive as you'd think.
Book directly at http://www.mongkok.dorsetthotels.com/en/home/ using your credit card. This will save you money.
The credit card holder must be with you during the trip if you're booking multiple rooms. Since my sister was the one coordinating with them using my dad's credit card, they asked to get authorization form my dad and also him being the one to pay for the transaction online.
Book ahead of time to avail discounts. We booked 2 months ahead and we got 27% discount as mentioned before in this blog post.
Get an Octopus card at the Airport station (150HKD, remaining amount is refundable). You can reload this for going around in Hongkong and if you're buying at stores.
Once on the express train from the Aiport Station, go to the Tsing Yi interchange. This will be 60HKD.
At Tsing Yi, ride the train going to the Olympic station. This will be 9HKD.
From the Olympic train station, walk to the HSBC Centre and go to the ground floor
From the door, walk straight then turn left (not the one going at the edge of HSBC Centre). The land mark is a closed pub.
Walk straight from there. When you get to the highway, turn right. Walk straight ahead until you see Mcdonald's. Cross the street to get to Dorsett Mongkok.
Walking time is 15-20 minutes.
The taxi only accepts cash. The Octopus card cannot be used.
The fare ranges from 230HKD to 245HKD.
There are 4-persons and 5-persons taxis so check the sticker indicator at the back.
There is a free shuttle provided by Dorsett Mongkok which you can ride going to other places in Hong Kong. We rode this going to the Lang Nam Mall. Just ask the concierge if the shuttle can drop you off where you're going.
Bring the water from the free water bar while walking around. Bottled water usually costs 7-8HKD at grocery stores but around 10HKD at food places and 25 HKD at theme parks. They refill your free water bar upon request.
