Airport to Dorsett Mongkok Hotel

Question

Could anybody tell me the easiest way to get from the airport to the Dorsett Mongkok Hotel using public transport please? We should be arriving mid-afternoon. Thanks

Answer

Getting from Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) to Dorsett Mongkok Hotel using public transport is straightforward and efficient. Here are the main options:

Option 1: Airport Express + MTR (Fastest and easiest with luggage)

Take the Airport Express from HKIA to Kowloon Station. Trains run every 10–12 minutes, journey takes around 20 minutes.
At Kowloon Station, you can either:

Take a taxi from the station to Dorsett Mongkok (around 10–15 minutes).
Or walk to the connecting MTR Tung Chung Line or Tsuen Wan Line via the station’s in-town check-in concourse.

From Kowloon Station, take the MTR Tsuen Wan Line towards Tsuen Wan and get off at Mong Kok Station (2 stops). Use Exit C2 for the hotel. Total MTR journey: ~10 minutes.
This option is reliable, fast, and comfortable, especially if you have luggage. Airport Express also offers luggage handling service for convenience.

Option 2: Direct Bus (Cheaper, longer journey)

Take Cityflyer Bus A21 from HKIA to Mong Kok. Buses depart every 15–20 minutes.
Get off near Mong Kok (various stops, check closest to hotel). Walking distance to Dorsett Mongkok is about 5–10 minutes.
Journey time: approximately 50–60 minutes, depending on traffic.
This option is budget-friendly, though slightly slower than MTR + Airport Express.

Option 3: Taxi (Most convenient, higher cost)

Available directly at HKIA taxi stands. Red urban taxis can take you straight to Dorsett Mongkok.
Journey time: ~35–45 minutes depending on traffic.
Cost: ~300–350 HKD. Good if traveling with family or lots of luggage and prefer door-to-door service.

Recommendation:

If you want speed and comfort with moderate cost, the Airport Express + MTR combination is best.
If you prefer the cheapest option, the Cityflyer A21 bus is easy to use and avoids transfers.
Taxi is convenient for hassle-free, door-to-door service but more expensive.

Overall, since you’re arriving mid-afternoon, both the Airport Express and Cityflyer buses run frequently and avoid rush hour congestion. Walking from Mong Kok Station to Dorsett Mongkok is very short and easy.
