Phone micro sim for short trip in HK

[raionheart]

Anyone know if I can buy a short term micro sim card to set up my phone for a short trip in HK for a week? Will I be able to buy it at the convenience store located in the airport?

I also booked my stay at the Eaton Hotel. Would it be better to use their shuttle service for 16.95 USD per person or would it be cheaper to just use MTR or Bus?

Thanks!

Yup get a sim from 7-11 at the airport in arrivals.

Eaton hotel in Jordan.
Hmmm how many of you are there and how much luggage?

For convenience I would as airport express then MTR would cost more than that.
You could get the airport bus but that'll be time consuming.

If there's 3-4 of you then get a taxi as the price will be similar than hotel bus service

The A21 airport bus gets you there for HK$33 (around US$4). Stops near Nathan Hotel, a short walk fro the Eaton Hotel.

Thanks so much guys! Just two people. So I guess the A21 airport bus will do.

ja, as jimbo said. easily find a convenience store for a sim.

from airport to eaton, i tried hk mrt. express bus n taxi.
staying only a week, w/out too much luggage. bus is the cheapest. its not rele too much time consuming tho compare wid mrt. but the bus is a bit running down. acceptable. i remember 1 bus station jus in front of nathan hotel where u can take a short walk to eaton. coz eaton ch-in in the back alley.

eaton hotel was good, i stayed there more in 2013. not anymore now since they deleted the club suites.
they have free tai chi class in the morning while having breafast. n a tiny gym with a swimming pool on the top floor. the club floor is jus so so.

Any places you guys recommend to eat near by? For breakfast and late night? My plane arrives at 10:40pm so will be very late .

[jimbo]

Hmmm late night not too many options
But should be some near the hotel in and around Nathan road.
I guess you won't get to the hotel till midnight or later.

Restaurants at the airport are closing that time too when you arrive

Do you speak Cantonese at all?
Some local places such as Australia dairy company for breakfast
