Accommodation Dilemmas: Comfort or Budget?

So I'm visiting my LDR boyfriend for 20 days.
Comfort or budget? I'm just here to spend time with him, not tour the area.

I wanted to stay in a hostel to save money, but I'm obliged to book a private room for me and him. (Like a guest room, hotel room or an apartment)

Since I'm getting a private room, I might as well get a more comfortable one for the long term stay. The cheapest would be the guesthouse, however it's really cramped with limited amenities. ($1.1K)

I'm wondering if I should get an apartment instead since I could gain access to a kitchen and washer. I like the idea of being able to cook for him for breakfast etc, perhaps a nice sofa and good room ambience~ ($2.08K)

But do you see the difference in price? With that extra 0.98K spent, I could make good use of it for transport, food and shopping.

Well I'm stuck on the fence whether I should compromise my money or comfort + ambience. Is it worth it? Trying to decide whether I should pick a guest house, hotel or an airbnb apartment. :/

What country, the U.S.?

Nope, Hong Kong. Accommodation there gets expensive due to the lack of space. :/

@Azoica: Yeah I would expect Hong Kong to be rough

@1961dave: Yeah it's pricey. Not sure whether to compromise on money or comfort. What would you do if you're in my shoes?
