Hotels in Hong Kong are ridiculously priced and Rambler Oasis was the cheapest I could find at about US$35 a night. My room had barely enough walking space but the facilities are adequete. It’s no way the 4-star hotel it claims to be but resembles more a hostel or a dorm room.
The biggest downside of course is that the hotel’s located in the middle of nowhere and there aren’t any free shuttle buses leading to it. There’s a cheap minibus you can take to get to the nearest MTR but there are operating hours which means you can’t loiter around town until the wee hours.
I’m not joking when I said it’s in the middle of nowhere. Here’s the view from my window.
And a better one -
The hotel is part of a cluster of 3, all of which are supported by facilities like a massive swimming pool and an underground shopping area. For some reason, when I arrived, neither the security guard nor a shopkeeper are familiar with the English name of the hotel and a directional sign lead to the wrong hotel.
Fun.
