Hi Everyone,
I heard that there are buses to and from the airport. I am looking to book a hotel room in Metropark hotel in Kowloon (75, Waterloo road - Mong Kok to be exact) I was wondering which is the easiest/cheapest way to get to the hotel once I arrive. And also, is this hotel close to MTR station? Is it close to the big malls? Thanks in advance for all answers!How to get from Hong Kong International Airport to MetroPark Hotel in Kowloon?
Take the Airport Express train to the Kowloon Station and from there you can get a free shuttle bus right to the Metropark Hotel in Kowloon. You can buy a three day tourist pass at the airport which includes round trip to and from the airport and unlimited rides on the MTR and some other forms of transportation for $300HKD, you'll also get a $50HKD refund when you return the card at the airport when you leave, it's a great deal if you plan on using the MTR to get around.

There are no direct bus from Airport to Metropark Kowloon but to Metropark Mongkok rather. If you want, the cheapest way is to take A21 to Argyle Ctr, Nathan Rd near Mong Kok MTR Stn and walk from there or take a taxi to the hotel for HK$16 (luggage may charge extra if you have many or have large size). A21 cost you HK$33 and alight at the stop after Lai Chi Kok Rd the 1st stop after turning into Nathan Rd. If you do not have much luggage, then you can take E21 from Ground Transportation Ctr to before Fa Yuen St, Mongkok Rd and walk or take a taxi for HK$16, which is cheaper than the above. E21 cost you HK$14 and 23 stops apart. If you get an Octopus card, then you can get a free transfer to E21A at Lantau Toll Plaza, which can bring you directly to the hotel bus stop located just opposite the hotel. Or transfer at before Fa Yuen St, Mongkok Rd and take 3 stops to get to Man Kee Mansion, Waterloo Rd, the 2nd stop after turning into Waterloo Rd. The hotel is just opposite the stop and cost you HK$3.5.
This hotel is not near any MTR Stn but you can walk to Mongkok MTR Stn for Tsuen Wan line %26amp; Kwun Tong line, as well as Mongkok East stn for East Rail line. There is a shuttle bus available from hotel to TST so you can make use of. There are many shopping malls at TST and there is Grand Century Place is the largest shopping mall nearby at Mong Kok East Stn. The hotel provides free shuttle to Tsim Sha Tsui which you can make use of and there is a MTR Station called Tsim Sha Tsui which you can take to Hong Kong Island side, as well as New Territories, but Mong Kok Stn is better and Mong Kok East Stn is better for the Eastern part.
I took a bus from Kowloon. It picked me up in front of the Chung king Mansion, I want to say 33A. But not sure. I think it cost like $30HKD. You can ask anyone when you get to the airport. Tell them you want to go to Kowloon. TSIM SHA TSUI EXIT.

It has the same question you asked. Many people have sent responses
Buses
If you're on a budget, there are plenty of buses that can take you wherever you need to go in Hong Kong. Buses between the airport and Central take around 45mins, with journey time to Kowloon around 30mins. Fares vary depending on which route, however the maximum you're likely to pay is $5. Buses during the day are frequent, upwards of every 10 mins, while night buses are generally every 30mins. Remember, buses don't give change, so try and bring the right amount where possible.
Main Routes to Central (including Kowloon) A11, E11, N11 (night-bus)
Travel Time: 45mins
Cost: $5
Frequency: Every 10-30 minutes.
The Airport Express is the quickest route between the airport and Central Hong Kong; taking just 24 minutes- less to Kowloon. The train runs like clockwork at 12-minute intervals, from 05:50 - 00:48, daily. Tickets are priced at around $50 for a single and $100 for a return (valid for one month). Tickets must be purchased before getting on the train, with ticket vendors stationed at the entrances.
I'm not sure how many bags you have. but if you want to take the METRO (MTR) just take the Airport line (GREEN) to HONG KONG. Switch to the RED LINE. Get off at the TSIM SHA TSUI EXIT. That's KOWLOON
