Hi Ryan,

I've been doing extensive research online for good serviced apts for the last 2 weeks since I'm moving there in June.  Here are some that I would recommend for your budget.  Keep in mind this is my online research, as I've not seen the places myself.

These are all on the HK side since that's where I want to stay, places on the Kowloon side may be cheaper, I don't really know... 

These are all around 200 to 250 sq. ft - W Studio in WC (http://www.wstudios.com.hk), Atria in Central or SOHO (http://atria.hk), Regent Heights in CWB (www.regentheights.com.hk). 

 If you want Kowloon side, the Harbourview Horizon seem to be a good choice, more bang for your buck. http://www.horizonhotels.com.hk/en/index.html

good luck.

hey kan,

you'll probably want to go with one of the smaller studios, I think they're around 160 to 200 sq. ft. go to:

They're the H studio, studio studio, cozy studio, W studio, City Loft.

Just keep in mind, you get what you pay for...

I am coming to hong kong to attend a wedding and plan to stay in hong kong for 14 nights from 30/11/08 to 14/12/08. Will your flat be availabel for rent? How much and is there any pictures?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Will be going to Hk with a group of frend (5 of us) . Im thinking if there is any serviced apartment or just apartment for rental just for the 5 nights?

Hi Bob,

Is your unit still available? Do you have any pictures to share? How much is your unit?

Regards,

Yen

We are going to HK in mid December for 2 weeks. Anyone know any service apartment or apartment for short term lease?

Give me your best offer and possibly i can give you a room to share in my serviced apartment for the dates you requested, located right by the harbour in TST over looking Hk island. Apartment is very modern with amazing facilities such as pool, gym, steam and sauna rooms, jacuzzi and more. Contact me at +852-64450796 or email me at hydromasters@gmail.com asap.

Best regards,
Marc

This company is a bit different - most of the serviced apartment companies own an individual apartment block, and rent all the apartments in that block. Brightvale has several flats around HK in normal residential blocks, so might be better if you want to get a feel for 'normal' HK life. Has anyone tried them?

Hi Michael,

Availability depends on how many rooms you require.  The only place I have found that has 3 bedroom serviced apts is Olympic Terrace .  There are very few places that offer more than 2 brs.  I posted a similar question a few months ago and at the time Mr B suggested a place in Central - which has 2 BR apartments.  You will find the details on the forum here . 

It seems wasteful but you may find that choosing a 1-month rental from a place requiring a month minimum stay may end up costing the same as 3 weeks at a place that has a shorter minimum stay.  Also, that broadens your options significantly. 

Recently I have found two furnished apartments available for holiday rental, posted on Craigslist.  They are in the Causeway Bay / Wanchai area.  Their asking prices are very attractive (USD90 per night) for either a 2 or 3br flat. But note that they are not serviced, the rental is like a private agreement with the owner.

 I am travelling as a party of 3 adults and 1 child (1.5 year old) in early November this year.  We are staying in HK for only a week.  After assessing my options I have decided to rent 2 adjoining hotel rooms in a hotel near Victoria Park.  I would still prefer a serviced apartment (mainly for the kitchen facilities) but the hotel option has turned out to be the best in terms of access to transport and other conveniences like playgrounds and supermarket.  Some hotels also offer long stay rates, although perhaps not in October, which is peak season for them.

good luck with your search.

Hi Leslie

We have chosen L'Hotel Causeway Bay.  The other hotel we considered was Metropark Causeway Bay.  Both are very close to Tin Hau MTR, Victoria Park playgrounds, tram, eateries and supermarket, which I thought was important because my toddler doesnt walk much yet.  There are many more hotels surrounding Victoria Park but these two are the closest (ie least walking) to public transport.

We had also looked at a couple of hotels near Wanchai MTR under similar criteria - very close to tram / MTR, supermarket and playground.  There are a couple of hotels near Southorn Playground (MEtropark Wanchai, Wesley etc) that might also suit.

good luck with your search

cheers

Hi Alex,
What do you mean by "cheap" place?
Decemeber and January are the peak seasons as they cover Christmas, New Year and Chinese New Year, so the hotel rates will be very high.
For apartment, do you think HK$400 per day is "cheap" or not for these two months?

Hi, I'm looking for a place to stay at for 4 people.
so preferably two rooms in Kowloon side would be good.
would i be looking at per night rates or per month rates? because i might be going to shanghai for a couple of days in that period.
my budget is about 18000HKD per month or approx 800 HKD per night

my email is twiddle_plum@hotmail.com

thanks for your help

Hi Fanny,

I would like to have more information about the flat in Chai Wan and see if it's available for 15-20 days from April 20th.

Thanks!
