Default Can't find cheap accomodations in Hong Kong

This link covers some more economical hotels/guesthouse in HK.

Price range from US40 (it is hard to get anything cheaper than this) to
US100. Most are in convenient locations and HK is safe for tourists. Dom is
not common in HK, so you will get a single room. It is definitely be very
small, but you hv all you need. HK is noisy, but I believe you can still
sleep.
Hotel is the single most expenditure traveling in HK. Transportation, food,
entrance fee etc are all very easy from someone from Europe / US.
November is peak season. Make your reservation ASAP.

Thanks. I'll try the link.

As cheap as possible!
I can't say any exact sum of money, but I'm travelling to a lot of
places around the world for a long time, so I want to save money on
accomodation and instead have more money for seeing places etc.

As long as the place is safe, reasonably clean and lets me sleep at
night (i.e. not too noisy, even though I'll bring ear-plugs) I'm happy.
I don't need a single room if I can save a lot on staying at a dorm.

I'll have a look.

Yes, sleeping should be OK. I lived in HK about 20 years ago, so I'll
get used to that again, but this time around I don't know anyone I can
stay with unfortunately.
The price you quite above is about what I've found as well, searching
through the net, looking in guidebooks etc. A bit pricey in the long run!

That's good to hear. even though I don't think HK is as cheap as it used
to be. I was back 10 years ago, and prices had risen dramatically since
I lived there.

Yikes!! Does this include cheapo places such as Chung King or Mirador
mansions? As far as I know, none of those backpacker places have
websites or email addresses.

It's also a little hard to make reservations when I'm not sure how long
I'll be staying. I plan to be in HK for a few days, go to Beijing, then
back to HK before I move on to Thailand.
