[HK - Macau Trip] Golden Crown Guest House Hongkong Review

Assalamu'alaikum Guys..

Nathan Road, Lokasi Golden Crown Guest House

Today, i want to share about my experience staying in Golden Crown Guest House Hongkong.

Aku milih tempat ini karena merupakan salah satu penginapan dengan review terbaik dan direkomendasikan oleh tripadvisor yang merupakan salah satu pertimbangan aku dalam memilih penginapan selama liburan seperti yang pernah aku share disini.

Lokasinya sangat strategis, very close to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR, close to the mosque and several tourist sites such as Avenue of Star and Kowloon Park. Yang bikin paporit, penginapan ini dekat dengan outlet Hui Lau San, yang mana menyediakan dessert favorit aku, dessert dengan spesialisai mangga yang rasanya oke banget. Ga cuma dessert, Golden Crown tentunya juga dekat dengan ragam pilihan restoran lainnya, tapi hati-hati dengan kehalalannya ya. Selain itu, buat cewek-cewek yang demen ama skincare dan produk-produk kecantikan lainnya, you can find it easily in here.

From Hotel to MTR station

To Avenue of Star

Untuk menuju kesini sangat mudah, dari Hongkong Airport dapat menggunakan bis No A21 dengan biaya HKD33/Adult. Turunlah di stop ke 13. Cari sign "Golden Crown Court" yang posisinya bersebelahan dengan Standard Chartered Bank.

How to get there from their website :

From Airport :

Airport bus is the most popular method to get to us. The Airbus Station is located near Hall B on the Arrivals Level (Level 5) of Hong Kong International Airport. Find the bus stand for A21 Airport Hung Hom KCR Station Route. You will see a map of the terminal. There is usually a lineup of around 10. The bus departs approximately every 15 minutes. you will reach the 13th (1st being the airport) stop Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station in 45-60 mins.

Form Subway Station(MTR) :

Take the Tsuen Wan line to reach Tsim Sha Tsui. We at close to Tsim Sha Tsui A2 exit, then turn to NATHAN ROAD. You will see the Standard Chartered Bank and city bank and we are just in the middle of those building

From Mainland China :

By the Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR), which operate from 6:30 am-12: 00am. Fare will be hk$36.5, free baggage charges. To Tsim Sha Tsui East and then walk from KCR station to the subway station (MTR) through the underground tunnels

Melakukan reservasinya pun sangat gampang. Silahkan masuk ke websitenya http://www.goldencrownhk.com/ lalu pilihlah tanggal check in dan check out yang diinginkan then submit query

Tak berapa lama akan ada balasan seperti ini

As you can read, kamar yang available hanya renovated single room with HKD400/night. Quite cheap kan dibandingkan perhotelan yang harganya fantastis banget di Hongkong. So i decided to chose that room dan melakukan pembayaran DP sebesar HKD400 yang sisanya dibayarkan ketika check in. Pembayaran dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan credit card by paypal. Nanti akan dikirimkan juga tutorial cara pembayarannya.

Setelah melakukan pembayaran, akan dikirimkan confirmation letter yang dapat diprint dan ditunjukkan saat check in.

Jadi Golden Crown Guest House itu terletak di sebuah gedung bernama Golden Crown Court. Resepsionisnya berada di lt 5. Untuk menuju kesana disediakan 2 akses lift. Pas nyampe ke lt 5, agak kaget juga karena tempatnya agak berantakan, dan yang aku baru tau adalah ternyata di lantai tersebut terdapat beberapa resepsionis dengan nama guest house berbeda.

So, the fact is Guest House itu terdapat di sebuah apartemen dimana para owner menyewa beberapa unit apartemen. Namun terkadang, unit yang disewa tersebut tidak terdapat dalam lantai yang sama, ga heran kalo dalam 1 lantai, ada beberapa unit dengan nama guest house berbeda. Dari 1 unit tersebut, dibagi lagi menjadi beberapa kamar. Kebetulan kamar aku berada di lt 6, bersama dengan beberapa guest house lain yang aku lupa namanya. Untuk masuk ke unit tersebut, harus memasukkan pin number, selanjutnya masuk lagi ke pintu kamar kita.

Di depan pintu kamar terdapat dispenser yang sangat berguna untuk penghematan, lol.. Ga lupa setiap pagi sebelum berangkat, wajib hukumnya buat isi botol minum dulu. Selain itu disediakan wifi yang sinyalnya kenceng, lumayan setiap malem bisa video call-an sama orang-orang rumah.

Terlihat di foto di bawah ini kalo kamarnya itu kecil banget ya, iya emang kecil. Tapi ga tau kenapa rasanya nyaman aja. Karena kan emang kamarnya cuma dipake buat mandi sama istirahat aja, jadi ya mungkin ga terlalu berasa juga ya kalo kamarnya sempit. Yang paling penting selain wifi tentunya adalah air panas. Setelah seharian capek keliling-keliling, mandi air panas terus bobo deh, by the way kasurnya empuk kok. Maapkeun fotonya cuma ada 1 aja euy, masih harus belajar banyak buat jadi travel blogger, huhu..

Nah Golden Crown Guest House juga dikenal sebagai tempat membeli tiket offline beberapa wisata di Hongkong, salah satunya adalah Tiket Hongkong Disneyland, yang dapat dibeli disini dengan harga HKD455 yang pernah aku ceritain disini. Saat itu aku sekalian juga beli sim card dengan harga HKD80 untuk pemakaian 7 hari *kalo ga salah* :p

Dengan semua kemudahan yang telah aku sebutkan tadi, aku sangat merekomendasikan tempat ini as your base camp when you visit Hongkong.

See you on the next post :*

Birthday Trip

[HK - Macau Trip] The Best Dimsum I've Ever Eaten

Assalamu'alaikum Guys..

The only pic

One of my favourite food is chinese food, along with japanese food, italian food and of course, indonesian food. So basically i love any kind of food as long as it tastes good. Hehe.. That's why i wouldn't miss tasting local culinary experience when i had the opportunity to visit that city.

During my last holiday in Hongkong, since beginning i've said that i had to eat dimsum, one of chinese signature dish. I love dimsum, everybody does! The problem is finding halal food in Hongkong especially halal dimsum was not something easy. But, don't worry the Moslem Traveler, you can try halal-delicious-yummy dimsum in Masjid Ammar and Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre.

After I met the Buddha in ngong ping, my stomach started growling because it was time for lunch, time to visit the Islamic center. To get to Islamic Centre, take the MTR to Wanchai MTR Station, out from the station using Exit A3. Then in front of the Exit A3, there is a tram stop (Don't cross the road). That was my first experience using tram. Have you tried this kind of transportation?

I would like to talk a little bit about the tram, which is also known by the name "Ding Ding". Hongkong's tram have been rumbling along the northern side of Hongkong Island since 1904 and continue to be an affordable, inexpensive and fun way to get around. Each tram ride cost of HKD 2,3 and no matter how far you travel. Fares can be paid either by Octopus Card or in cash (no change is given), so prepare your exact amount guys. You need to get off the tram at the back and then pay the fare at the front when getting off. Trams can be boarded at a designated tram stop. And to go to Masjid Ammar and Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre, we could take tram from O'Brien Road 43 E Tram Stop.

From this stop, get off at 2 stop after this stop, which is 47 Tonnochi Road. Crossing toward the basketball court, trace the step that are next to the basketball court until you find 7-11 then cross the road to 7-11, continue straight until road interchanges then turn left. And you'll find Masjid Ammar and Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre. The cafetaria located on the 5th floor, we can use the elevator to go up to there.

This is it

To order, directly go to the counter where there are many variant of dimsum, grab a tray and take dimsum that you want, then the waiter will give us some kind of note that should be brought to the cashier to make payments. Fyi, the price is very affordable, around HKD 20 - 30 and it was so goood!

Besides dimsum, there are other choices menu such as fried rice, fried noodles and some other chinese menu. Well, to eat dimsum here, you should come before 3pm because usually the dimsum quickly sold out. Oiya because the place is not too big, so we must be willing to share a seat with the other visitors.

Of course, beside the cafeteria, there is a mosque here, and often held lectures to the Muslims in Hong Kong.
