transport from airport to royal plaza hotel

For a group of 5 adults with 5 check-in suitcases and 5 carry-on bags arriving at Hong Kong International Airport and heading to the Royal Plaza Hotel in Mong Kok, there are several transport options to consider depending on convenience, cost, and luggage handling.

Option 1: Airport Shuttle / Private Transfer

  • Many hotels, including the Royal Plaza Hotel, offer airport shuttle or can arrange private van transfers. With 5 adults and large luggage, a private van or minibus is the most convenient.
  • Pre-booking a private transfer ensures that you won’t have to handle multiple trips or worry about carrying all your luggage on public transport.
  • Estimated travel time is around 40–50 minutes depending on traffic.

Option 2: Taxi

  • Official taxis from the airport are available 24/7. A standard taxi fits 4 passengers and 2–3 large bags, so for 5 adults and 10 total bags, you may need to book 2 taxis or a larger van-type taxi (e.g., red taxis with MPV capacity).
  • Taxi fare to Mong Kok is roughly HKD 250–300 plus airport surcharge and tolls.
  • Quick and direct, but check in advance whether one taxi can accommodate all passengers and luggage.

Option 3: Airport Express + Taxi / MTR

  • Airport Express goes to Kowloon Station. From there, you can take a taxi or shuttle to the Royal Plaza Hotel, which is approximately 10–15 minutes away.
  • This method is faster than taking the MTR from the airport directly but requires handling your luggage onto the train and then a taxi to the hotel.
  • Airport Express fare to Kowloon Station is around HKD 115 per adult.

Option 4: Direct MTR (Mass Transit Railway)

  • Take the Airport Express to Tsing Yi, then transfer to Tung Chung Line → transfer to Tsuen Wan Line at Lai King → get off at Mong Kok Station, and walk to the hotel.
  • This is more economical but cumbersome with a lot of luggage and may not be ideal for 5 adults with 10 bags.
  • Travel time is approximately 50–60 minutes plus walking and transfers.

Recommendation:

  • For comfort and ease with your luggage, a pre-booked private van or airport shuttle is the best option for your group.
  • If you prefer taxis, consider booking a van-type taxi in advance to fit all passengers and bags in one trip.
  • Public transport is feasible but not recommended with large luggage and a group of this size, especially if arriving after a long flight.

Overall, a private transfer or large taxi provides the smoothest and most stress-free arrival experience for your group at the Royal Plaza Hotel.
