Describe modest budget. I got a great deal on Travelocity when I combined airfare and hotel. I got to stay at a new 5-star hotel in Mongkok (yeah, you read that right!) for about $100 a night for a single. The room was large and had a refrigerator, microwave, stovetop and electric tea kettle. It was attached to a mall with a lot of inexpensive food options, and then there is all of Mongkok at your feet for more cheap eats. The Eastern Rail Line has a station in the mall and the Mongkok station on the red line is a mere 10 minutes walk away. The hotel was the Royal Plaza in Mongkok. Everyone there, even the cleaning staff, spoke English.
