That hotel in Nina tower looks nice. Abit pricier than the Lamma option though (USD95 on agoda). Nina tower is about 2 minutes walk to Tsuen Wan West MTR station - which is about 12 minutes to TST East, walk 5 minutes to TST and 2 stops (6 mins) to Central. That's probably more like 30 mins all up (with walking and waiting) not 40.
It's much slower to take the not west station. It stops at every lamp post and is about a 15 minute walk (or 5 minute cab ride) from the hotel. The west-rail is MUCH faster (about 4 stops to TSTE from memory, compared to 13 to TST on the other line) , just need to connect to get to the Island.

I'd be a little concerned about that. 80 quid is extremely stingy. Does your manager/company understand what an expensive place HK is as far as accommodation is concerned? Hope you’ve thought this through and you’re getting a good financial package as you’re bringing the wife and a kid too.
This is exactly what was meant when someone said one person's cheap is another's expensive. For one person to stay by himself for a few weeks I don't see why 80 quid is overly cheap. Yes you might need to shop around a bit but you'll find somewhere nice enough for that price.
I'm pretty sure the hotel I linked to would be ok, or is 30 mins a huge commute?
nope...they're paying for the full relocation etc (which is quite a generous package so no complaints there) but as they are providing serviced appartment for 6 weeks already, the company line is that I could use half of that for this trip and still be okay... I just prefer having more time to look for permanent accommodation with the whole family.
Hence the need to save the £££ (or $$$).
