Matters needing attention in staying in Hong Kong and Macao hotels

Guest room space: Because Hong Kong is sparsely populated, the guest room space of three-and four-star hotels is not large, which is only 70% to 80% of that of similar hotels in China. However, in some two-and three-star hotels with lower reservation prices, after placing two single beds in the double room, only a small amount of space such as aisle is left. Therefore, when booking a low-cost hotel, you should be psychologically prepared in terms of room area, but for hotels above four stars, most rooms.

Hotel star rating: There is no official agency or tourism agency in Hong Kong and Macao to evaluate the star rating. The stars introduced by travel agencies or booking media are determined by comparing with hotels in surrounding areas. When determining the star rating, it may be higher for some hotels. For example, a three-star hotel with a lower reservation price may actually have only two stars in some aspects, but the grade gap between a general four-star hotel and a better four-star hotel may be larger. Among the five-star hotels, there are great differences between standard five-star hotels and internationally renowned five-star hotels.

Room items: Like hotels in many parts of the world, there are quite a few hotels in Hong Kong that don't put the necessities of their guests in their rooms, such as tea, toothbrushes, slippers and razors. In some hotels, guests can ask the Housekeeping Department (Housekeeping Department) for these items, but some low-cost hotels lack these items, especially those run by the church. This is quite different from the phenomenon that all kinds of necessities are available in hotels above three stars in China.

Local calls: Most hotels in Hong Kong and Macao charge for local calls, ranging from 2 yuan to 5 yuan.

Notes on using mainland bank cards in Hong Kong

China bank cards are listed in Hongkong.

Whether all bank cards are printed with the "UnionPay" logo, first confirm whether the issuing bank has opened related businesses.

The scope of application of China bank card with "UnionPay" logo in Hongkong.

Cardholders can use it at any ATM and POS in Hong Kong with the tricolor logo of UnionPay. At present, there are more than 1000 ATMs and more than 4,000 shops in Hong Kong with the "UnionPay" logo. The scope of application basically covers major tourist areas in Hong Kong, such as Central, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok and other major department stores, brand-name stores, audio-visual appliances, fashion clothes, beauty cosmetics and so on. The number of ATMs, merchants and merchants accepted by UnionPay cards in Hong Kong will continue to expand, and it will be more convenient to use UnionPay cards in Hong Kong.

Main points of using unionpay card in Hong Kong

When a cardholder swipes a card at a POS machine in Hong Kong, whether it is a debit card or a credit card, he needs to enter a password (if there is no password set on the card, you can press "OK" directly) to protect the interests of the cardholder. Cardholders also need to sign the purchase order for the record. When using, the cashier will check the shopping list and the signature on the back of the card. Therefore, please keep your personal password, whether debit card or credit card, please sign on the back of the card. When using UnionPay card in ATM, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there are redundant devices such as cameras above or near ATM. When operating, pay attention to cover the password with your hands to prevent it from being photographed remotely, so as to avoid unnecessary losses. To use UnionPay cards in Hong Kong, it is best to spend money directly on POS machines and try to withdraw money from ATMs as little as possible. Because there is no handling fee for using POS machines, and UnionPay cards need to pay handling fees for ATM withdrawals in Hong Kong, the specific charging standard and credit card withdrawal interest rate are determined by the issuing bank.

Since consumption in Hong Kong is denominated in Hong Kong dollars, when cardholders use UnionPay cards in Hong Kong, the currency of ATM display, withdrawal and POS consumption is Hong Kong dollars. China UnionPay will convert it into RMB according to the selling price of Hong Kong dollars against RMB announced by the state on the day of the transaction. The issuing bank will deduct RMB from the cardholder's account according to this RMB amount, and the cardholder only needs to repay according to this RMB amount without any exchange rate risk. The consumption of UnionPay cardholders is based on their deposits or credit lines and will not be restricted by foreign exchange control. There will be certain restrictions on the use of RMB cards in Hong Kong and Macao. For example, the clearing system in the mainland has been prepared in advance. If cardholders swipe their cards in casinos or pornographic places, the clearing system will immediately refuse to pay after receiving the transaction codes of these places. If a cardholder loses his card in Hong Kong, he should directly call the mainland card-issuing bank to report the loss orally. After returning to the mainland, go through the relevant written procedures. For the machine meal card caused by ATM failure, misoperation or forgetting to pick up the card, the cardholder should go to the relevant ATM outlets to pick up the card according to the relevant instructions posted on the ATM in Hong Kong. Please record the date and time of the incident if the ATM in Hong Kong refuses to withdraw money, or if the account amount is deducted during consumption. After returning to the mainland, you can apply to the issuing bank to handle the wrong account, and China UnionPay will assist the issuing bank in the mainland to do a good job in inquiring and handling the wrong account. Cardholders can consult or learn the latest information of UnionPay cards through the service hotline of the issuing bank or the "955 16" service hotline opened by China UnionPay in some cities.
