First South Island Line riders to get 97% discount off 4-star hotel stay

Earlier today, MTR Corp. announced its long-awaited South Island Line’s would be opening on Dec. 28 to much excitement.

And, in the true Hong Kong entrepreneurial spirit, one business has already capitalised on said excitement. To commemorate the new line’s opening date, Ovolo Hotels is offering coupons for one night’s stay at their warehouse-chic Southside hotel at a seriously cut price of HKD28, to the first 16 passengers who get to Exit A of Wong Chuk Station on the morning of the 28th.

No, that’s not a typo, it really is going to be twenty eight dollars.


This could be yours for one night only at HKD28. 

All the signature Ovolo freebies will be included, which means those 16 lucky buggers people will get a night’s stay at a four-star hotel with a free in-room minibar and snacks, WiFi, breakfast, free-flow happy hour at the hotel bar, and a flexible check out for less than a cup of coffee (or a packet of cigarettes, depending on your vice). 


ABOVE, which we recently named as one of our five favourite outdoor bars in Hong Kong

The 16 lucky winners will have 12 days to use their coupons, and because we here at Coconuts love doing maths (please note: this is sarcasm), we’ve calculated that they’ll be saving an average of HKD1,178 or 97 percent, if that’s how you prefer to look at it. Not shabby. Not shabby at all

However, don’t fret if you’re not amongst those lucky bastards winners. The first 10 passengers who reach Exit A after them will nab a free two-course set lunch at the hotel’s restaurant CIRQLE, and the next 20 passengers who follow them will be able to drown their sorrows drink for free at the rooftop bar ABOVE. Discount dining vouchers will be presented to all other passengers after that, because for once there really are no losers.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This article has been updated, because we are not amazing at maths.
