Priceline Hotel: 4* Hong Kong (Tsim Sha Tsui) Regal Kowloon Hotel

[jwulf]

I was hoping for the Kowloon Hotel, but unfortunately I got the Regal Kowloon Hotel. This seems to have no pool and the priceline discount is only about 25%. But hey, it's still a deal!

BTW: Am I entitled to pay the 10% service charge and the 3% room tax or is anything included in priceline's tax and service charge?

Congratulations, you got your price of $55 for a 4-star hotel room.

The Kowloon Hotel doesn't have a pool too (though I am not sure if you can use a pool of a neighbouring hotel there).

Thanks for the reported win.

From your post, and having never been to the area, i assume there is a difference between the Regal Kowloon Hotel and the Kawloon Hotel?

Enjoy your stay.

Yeah, the Regal Kowloon Hotel is part of the Regal-Hotel chain while "The Kowloon Hotel" used to be part of Peninsula-Hotels (not anymore, I think).
