    traders hotel is fairly ok. new. u can catch the hotel buggie to KLCC and take light rail from there. else taxi can be quite a nightmare all day round.

    KL isn't easy to go for the weekend if you mean down on Friday night, back on Sunday night - only China Airlines departs HKG after 6pm, but their flight comes back early morning, so you'd need to take Monday morning off. Remember that KL airport is quite a way out of town.

    Your other option is to go via Macau. Air Asia has a flight leaving Macau at 19:50 on Fridays (arr 23:35), and KL at 15:35 Sunday (arr 19:20). Total fare should be around HK$2000 but you'd need to add the cost of getting to Macau airport.
