For Hong Kong I am at a lost. I need to find a hotel and have been on hotel.com and Airbnd to try to find a deal. The price seems to range form $20 to $300 a night. Is for two people (me and my gf) and all we really need is Wifi and is a bonus if they have some cooking uilities (who knows maybe I will need to make instant noodle for snacks). Which area should I be looking for hotels.
As far as attractions goes I plan on visiting Disneyland, the water park, the big temple and maybe some shopping areas(mainly for the gf). And looking at the transit it seems a lot of these places I need to take the MTR and then transfer VIA bus and that really confuse me. Is there an app like google map that will highlight the route for you?
Also I will need cell phone service. I am planning on using my S4(Unlock by fido) and Nexus 5. From I can tell both should work fine in Hong Kong other than the fact I won't get LTE speed. Is that true? Also which phone company I should go with? Looking to get data as well.
Thanks!

1) Just goto the first 7 Eleven you see and buy a prepaid sim with data. Almost every sim have data nowadays
2) get an octopus card
3) Google Map works fine in HK, Siri works even better, but too bad you don't have an iPhone.
4) Forget about cooking in the middle of the night, there are tons of restaurants open 24/7 near any hotel district. If not, just go to 7 Eleven, they have great microwave food.
5) There is no water park in hk (yet). Ocean park is just an amusement park with an aquarium.
6) Seriously, don't bother with disneyland, its a waste of time and money, and its packed with mainlanders
7) You will most likely find a hotel in Mong kok, Tsim Sha Tsui or Causeway bay, thats where all the shopping is.
8) There is an MTR app
