Taxi fare from Kowloon Station to Royal Plaza Hotel Mongkok

Question

Hello all,

I’m getting mixed information from Google and taxi apps about the fares. Could anyone advise what the approximate taxi fare would be from Kowloon Station to Royal Plaza Hotel Mongkok, including luggage?

Alternatively, if I take the A21 Cityflyer bus and get off at Argyle Centre, then transfer to a taxi to the hotel, would that option be more time- and cost-efficient?

I’ll be traveling with 3 adults and 3 children (ages 3, 4, and 12). Thank you in advance!

Answer

The taxi fare from Kowloon Station to Royal Plaza Hotel Mongkok is relatively straightforward. The distance is about 5–6 km, and the journey typically takes around 15–20 minutes depending on traffic.

Approximate taxi fare:

Flag fare starts at HKD 27–28.
Additional fare based on distance and time: expect about HKD 40–50 for this short trip.
Luggage is generally not charged separately for standard amounts; large or excess luggage might incur a small extra fee, but for 3 adults and 3 children, this should be minimal.
Total fare estimate: HKD 45–55.

Regarding the alternative route via the A21 Cityflyer bus:

A21 bus fare from Kowloon Station to Argyle Centre is HKD 33 per adult, children typically HKD 17.
From Argyle Centre, a taxi to Royal Plaza Hotel Mongkok is about 5–10 minutes, costing roughly HKD 25–30.
Total estimated cost for 3 adults and 3 children: Bus: HKD 99 + HKD 51 (children) = HKD 150, Taxi: ~HKD 30 → combined ~HKD 180.

Time-wise, taking a taxi directly is usually faster and more convenient, especially with luggage and young children. The A21 bus plus taxi may be slightly cheaper for a larger group, but it involves more transfers and waiting time.

Recommendation: For a family of 6 with luggage, a direct taxi from Kowloon Station to Royal Plaza Hotel Mongkok is the most convenient and time-efficient option, costing around HKD 45–55 total.
