Ugh….our ship will be at the Kai Tak terminal.

There are more than two dozen hotels within easy walking distance of the Ocean Terminal.

Just google "Kowloon Hotels" and look at the map.

Kowloon peninsula area is small, if you stay in Tsim Sha Tsui area hotel, taxi to Kai Tak cruise terminal is merely 15-20 min, and HK taxi fare is inexpensive compare to Europe and North America standard.

Wayfairers cruise will dock at Kai Tak Terminal, like Daikoku Pier in Yokohama, Japan.

Thank you.   Looks like we will have to take a taxi then.  I’ll look in the area you suggested.

Sorry, my error.

In that case, Google is your friend.

There are a few hotels near Kai Tak, but it is not a very nice nor convenient area to stay.

either google map or  booking.com (Tsim Sha Tsui, kowloon). It's hotel and tourist area,

though relative safe but beware of pick pocket, a common petty crime in big cities.

The Tsim Sha Tsui Area is nice to stay at. If you book at the Harbour Grand Kowloon Hotel, you can see the cruise ship terminal on the other shore. Have attached a picture from Kowloon side.
Taxis are quite cheap. You only need to know that they do not accept creditcards. Just cash in Hongkong Dollar.
Kind regards from Germany
