Hostels on the island

Friends coming out to HK for the 7s, potentially as many as 20 of them. Can't think of anything worse than having them stay at my place. Being cheapskates, they'll want the cheapest and nastiest place they can find, on the island.


I'm aware of Chungking Mansions, but when you factor in late night taxis (and other death trips), staying on the island is probably worth it.


So where do I start - I've already contacted Wang Fat in CWB - anyone know any other nearby CWB hostels or some in maybe North Point?


I've done a google search, but can only find adverts leading to more adverts and no actual hostels sites.


Don't want to use hostelworld.com because want to negotiate/bargain with the hostel directly.


Thanks for your advice in advance.


Cheers.

There are others in CWB, even in Paterson Street.

Is that enough? There are hundreds of others. Look on the government website for all the licensed ones.
