Answer

Four nights and five days in Hong Kong is generally enough for a family trip, especially if your focus is on kid-friendly activities and iconic sights. Since you’re arriving early and departing late, you will have almost full days to explore.

For hotel location, Central, Tsim Sha Tsui (TST), and Causeway Bay all have their advantages:

Central: Good for business and shopping areas, close to Victoria Peak, mid-range hotels are available but may be pricier. Scenic harbor views possible from some hotels.
Tsim Sha Tsui (TST): Lively waterfront area with easy access to Star Ferry, shopping, and the promenade. Excellent harbor views. Family-friendly hotels available in your budget range.
Causeway Bay: Very vibrant with shopping and dining options. Slightly less scenic views but plenty of vegetarian restaurants and kid-friendly stores.

For hotel suggestions under $140–150 per night that are family and kid friendly:

Royal Plaza Hotel (Mong Kok) – Family rooms, kid-friendly amenities, close to shopping and vegetarian food.
Hotel ICON (TST) – Modern, with family rooms, near harbor, vegetarian-friendly restaurants nearby.
Auberge Discovery Bay (Disneyland area) – Great if you want to split the stay for Disneyland convenience.

Booking multiple attractions with discounts:

Check official websites for Hong Kong Disneyland, Ocean Park, Ngong Ping 360 for combo tickets or online pre-purchase discounts.
Consider tourist passes like “iVenture Card” for multiple attractions at a reduced price.
Booking online in advance is recommended to avoid long queues.

Commute within Hong Kong with family:

MTR (subway) – Fast, convenient, clean, and easy for families. Most major attractions are connected.
Trams on Hong Kong Island – Fun for kids and scenic along certain routes.
Star Ferry – Great for short trips between TST and Central; very kid-friendly.
Taxis – Useful for late night travel or trips with young children, but more expensive than MTR.
