Hong Kong Hotel Room Tour

[@koolbreezeuk]

Please do more Room Tours, they are so much fun to watch :-)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! We'll try our best to do that :)

[@nicolewong897]

In the future you can try out this hotel called Shamrock hotel, literally next to Jordan MTR... the size is much bigger than this room but still a little smaller than usual hotel rooms around the world! Also the beds are def bigger than this i guess, like a legit super single?? and there is a nice and clean washroom and a bath tub to bathe in!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing that. It sounds like an amazing value place.

[@Hiidiot823]

I'm a hongkonger who and I'm so suprised as i thought hotel rooms are always big and luxury 😂😂(at least the outlook) my room is super small too, it can just fit my 2.5" width bed and a desk, but i still got some spaces in the living room to place my computer, bookshelf etc. sounds weird right ,the shape(?) of the flat is also a factor that makes us can't make use of the entire flat well

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Thanks for sharing that about your room. I'm amazed at how efficient people are at using small spaces in bigger cities in Asia. I think having a smaller apartment means you're more careful with what you buy and allows you to spend more money on experiences such as eating out and traveling which is a good thing.

[@lynnmoore2664]

This is a very interesting video of a tour of a very neat little room! Thanks for sharing!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Lynn! We'll try to do more room tours when we feel we're staying in unique accommodations.

Last year my family and I stayed at the Cosmo hotel, near the racetrack. They gave a free mobile smart phone to use.. Free global phone calls and mobile data. Passing some shops and eateries, the 'handy' would alert us to special offers etc. budget hotel with good size rooms, only slightly out of central HK. Great city. loved it.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, that is really cool to hear. Sounds like you got a good deal.

[@molekulaTV]

Very cute. :) I love your new brave videos with all the sparks and guts. Keep on rockin folks!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much!

[@justf0rnow]

When youre too broke to afford a holiday so you watch people do it instead. But seriously i really enjoy your videos especially this room tour. It looks fun

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! It sure was interesting staying in a place this small ;)

[@Uzamaki16731]

The hotel room is probably the size of my cousins room in Hong Kong whenever I visit! Hong Kong is a fun place!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh that is cool to hear! Do you go often?

[@Uzamaki16731]

I use to when I was younger but its probably been about 10 years now. I get airsick really badly and always end up in the ER afterwards so I haven't flown anywhere in a long time.

[@clementlee2121]

Yes they're so small. When I stayed at a hotel in HK, it was so small I couldn't stay inside other than sleeping but then when I go out, it's stifling hot and crowded. Two extremes I'm not used to.

[@samuelandaudrey]

I find heading to the outskirts of Hong Kong or the many parks is necessary for a longer stay. Otherwise, the crowds, noise and lack of space can get to you a bit.

[@clementlee2121]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos absolutely agree

[@musicartculture]

Hi Samuel and Audrey, our entire family love your videos! We are wondering what the name was for this hotel? we are planning a trip to Asia soon hopefully including HK. What is the average price point for this hotel room and which neighborhood is it located at? Looking forward to your next video!!!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! That is really exciting to hear about your trip. Where else do you plan to go? We stayed at Bridal Tea House nearby Yau Ma Tei station on Kowloon. It is a really good location as you're walking distance to some night markets, Kowloon park, the Peninsula hotel, avenue of stars and the star ferry. Another area to consider would be Mong Kong (Kowloon) or Causeway Bay (Hong Kong Island) especially if you're interested in shopping. This coming Friday we'll be doing a big 27 minute tips video for Hong Kong where we talk in detail about budget tips for visiting the city.

[@o-o1251]

I wanna tell u tho I am from hk and I wanna tell the most beautiful and big house! Its in hung ham. In Kowloon In harbour front

[@PuRpLePoNcHo]

holy crap, the smallest room in my house is bigger than your hotel room. love it

[@samuelandaudrey]

Hahaha...it is kind of incredible how small these hotel rooms are

[@PuRpLePoNcHo]

Most definitely, but you two make it work so it's awesome

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Nice tip on the single beds thanks...

[@samuelandaudrey]

THanks!

[@disneyme7110]

Wow 😨 that's claustraphobic, I would go nuts LOL

[@samuelandaudrey]

We spent a lot of time outside.

[@Crom21]

love this video.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much!

[@BillGreenAZ]

I know what you mean when you say "wet bathroom". I stayed in a place in the Little India area of Singapore that just had tile and a drain next to the toilet and sink along with a shower head. When I used the shower head it sprayed all over the toilet and sink since they were in such close proximity.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Hahaha! Yeah, that is definitely one of those. We're quite used to them now. Actually it's not a bad way to clean your sink and toilet if you think about ;)

[@BillGreenAZ]

LOL!

[@michaelle4560]

Thx . Guys. Good price

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you!

[@Lillipod1]

Good job Audrey is little

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks!

[@SayGeizi]

i love your videos!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much!

[@muskratsalvage9317]

your tour videos are always fun...steve in Leadville colorado

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Steve! We'll try to do more of those.

[@xanithkl]

Just realized that Sam is the giant. All this while I thought he's a small guy because of his cutey face, and Audrey is the taller one! :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! LOL, I've had a few people tell me they thought I would be shorter in person ;)

[@paulchan2404]

Interesting and informative. I think it would be nice to also tell us which area (with a reference of a HK map) the hotel location is and how far it is to some landscapes (esp. you guys have mentioned in your video). Thanks.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! That is a great suggestion. Where we stayed was on Kowloon nearby Yau Ma Tei station. The location was great because it was walking distance to the Temple Street Night Market, Jade Market and Ladies Market along with Kowloon park. It was also a bit longer walk to Star Ferry and Avenue of Stars. I recommend this area highly along with Mong Kok on Kowloon and in terms of Hong Kong Island Causeway Bay is good area to stay if you're interested in shopping and entertainment.

[@wildcharm911]

It's the same in HK, Tokyo, Seoul, New York....all expensive cities.

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is true! I think HK has the smallest of them all though.

[@Nubianette]

That's a great deal for that room!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Not bad value for HK!

[@Nubianette]

+Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I've been spending too much time in Copenhagen and Stockholm. :)

[@shirleymaas5454]

the price is good ,I would of thought more ty

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! It was decent value especially considering the large bathroom and shower.

[@QWERTYOP80]

That's pretty tiny! Smallest room I've ever had was in Berlin of all places! Probably smaller than yours, but it was a single. Small rooms in NYC & Tokyo too. Tbh, I don't mind too much, because I'm hardly ever there. =)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! As small as this one was it is easily the biggest place I've had in Hong Kong...haha Sometimes I think having a tiny room (or one that isn't that comfortable) actually encourages you to spend more time exploring the city which isn't a bad thing.

[@QWERTYOP80]

Agreed. Although I do think if you're staying somewhere for a while, it's nice to have somewhere nice to come back to! I tend to do city breaks - sorta 3 or 4 nights-ish so with those, I don't care too much about the hotel. But I was in Tokyo in November for 10 nights and I REALLY appreciated having a nice 4 star place to come home to!... Although the room was still small!

[@caitlinm3719]

Haha you guys should check out the Easyhotel in London! It has room for a bed, and that's pretty much it 😂

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for suggesting that! I think we'll be back in London sometime this year :)

[@evogardens]

Couldn't swing a cat in there, it was so tiny ! Jim.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Hahaha...indeed!

[@jimmitheflowerhornandfrien1547]

I could not stat there at all.. just looking at it makes me feel claustrophobic

[@samuelandaudrey]

I can totally understand that. We've stayed in some tiny places before so we were okay with it but it wasn't exactly comfortable. Our biggest issue at this place was we had some really noisy neighbors and with paper thin walls we didn't get a good sleep.

[@claudioflores25]

audrey must open up her own dance school!

[@samuelandaudrey]

LOL, most definitely ;)

[@jojodelamunsy]

JJ Hotel in Wan Chai is about the same price and at least twice as big!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, thanks for sharing that! Twice as big sounds really good.

[@wel7652]

Do room hotels with bathrooms. Because online they don't show what the bathroom door looks like

[@samuelandaudrey]

Some do and some don't. Be sure to ask.

[@mariaanissataratesalonika9606]

hey, would you share with me where the hotel that you staying?

[@Shyragirl80]

Whats the name of the hotel pls?

[@sassygirl5237]

u mean 64 US dollars ?

[@erictsoi4851]

Wondering whether Hong Kong or Tokyo do have the smallest hotel room??

[@samuelandaudrey]

Ah, I'm sure that would be a close call!

[@tobifenobi]

hi guys, do you have a room tour for taipei?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! We didn't make one in Taipei. I wish we had of done that.

[@YummYakitori]

I thought Singapore was cramped enough.. Hong Kong is on a whole different level altogether hahah definitely not somewhere for people with claustrophobia

[@YummYakitori]

I live in Singapore and even then our houses are not that small, even for one-room flats / apartments built by the government, it is far larger than that hotel room!!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Yeah, Hong Kong is even more cramped than Singapore. Our room in Singapore was on the small end but nothing like this. I felt like a giant ;)

[@carlover2791]

I like your camera! What model is that? Hotels name pls.

[@samuelandaudrey]

We now have a Panasonic GH5.

[@moonlightsparkles-13]

which hotel is this?

[@rmwgroup3465]

This is NOT considered a "hotel" per se..its called GUESTHOUSE which is more like a motel level! HK Hotels (4-5 stars) have great rooms big and luxurious as well. Pls. don't compare "guesthouses" with "proper hotels"!!

[@alancwwong]

Are you long staying in HK? Where are you staying?

[@samuelandaudrey]

We stayed for just over a week.

[@deeocky1091]

Wow, reminds me of Tokyo......

[@samuelandaudrey]

Wow! Where did you stay there?

[@deeocky1091]

I stayed at Kichijoji, Shinjuku, Shinagawa and Yokohama. I don't remember the name of the hotels I stayed in but remember they were clean and convenient but very small. I really enjoyed my stay though.

[@franstains3373]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos

[@crisyorke1328]

"It's tiny but functional" that's what she said :-P

[@samuelandaudrey]

;)

[@yhanyhan3836]

hi do they have double rooms? not the twin beds? for couple. thanks

[@samuelandaudrey]

You'd have to check online or ask the hotel directly. It's called Bridal Tea House Hotel Yaumatei.

[@yhanyhan3836]

thankyouuuuu

[@brianmhyung]

Ten thousands of hongkongers live in cage-sized flats, or real cage, better condition we have are subdivided flats.

[@samuelandaudrey]

I watched a documentary about that once. It is incredible how resilient people living in such conditions are.

[@aolmonkey]

65 usd for that size ?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Yeah, it is quite small for that price but HK is an expensive city for accommodations. We've had much smaller rooms before when we paid less.

[@sugarfoot9799]

LOL ! They used a Spirograph on the walls .

[@samuelandaudrey]

Ha!

[@sugarfoot9799]

Really did you guys notice it at the time? Struck me straight off !

[@annemiekdehaan1]

wow so small

[@samuelandaudrey]

It definitely is tiny.

[@disneyme7110]

$64 per night for that closet? My goodness, that's crazy 🙆

[@samuelandaudrey]

Yeah, it is very expensive in HK.

[@o-o1251]

We have to pay 200k for my old house

[@Chiibees]

The one we stayed at was smaller and we were 4 😂😂

[@Chiibees]

And the bathroom was the size of your shower. Well,At least we had a place to sleep :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Sounds like the place we stayed in 3 years ago! Wow 4 of you. That must have been cozy...hehe

[@samuelandaudrey]

Our bathroom was unusually big so I can imagine the size of the one you had.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Not surprised to hear that. Actually I think away from the centre of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island would have bigger places and likely cheaper.

[@cindypattana6071]

Too much interruption, not fun to watch.

[@samuelandaudrey]

We'll keep that in mind.

[@Offensive_Username]

A facade full of air conditioners... as ugly as the satellite dishes you find in many European cities. Why can't they build properly isolated buildings?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Good question. I guess for space efficiency in the case of HK.

[@midoriuehara3602]

our hotel room was smaller! and we paid 400 hkd!!!!!!!!!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh wow! How much smaller than ours?

[@midoriuehara3602]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos it was sooo small. we need to be like on the bed so that the other person can pass through and we have 4 luggages hahahahha. we stayed at tsim sha tsui

[@midoriuehara3602]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos and the bathroom of the hotel where you stayed was 2x larger than ours hahahahah!!!

[@perdomot]

Just like my cheap rooms in Tokyo.

[@samuelandaudrey]

I can imagine how small they'd be in Tokyo. We're kind of fascinated by the capsule hotels.

[@perdomot]

I was thinking of trying one next month but its not worth it when you can get your own room for just a few bucks more.

[@PretoOnTour]

I have room in HK 3m on 4m :D

[@samuelandaudrey]

What part of the city?

[@PretoOnTour]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Mn Kok, NathanRoad, Chung Shing Hotel :D I have vdo from this room hehe

[@PretoOnTour]

Mong Kok, NathanRoad, Chung Shing Hotel :D I have vdo from this room hehe
