Lodging
We at HKUPA are trying our best to keep the cost down for you. However, Hong Kong is known for being expensive. Be prepared when you come to spend some money and try to book a place ASAP as it is a busy convention weekend.
Below are some ideas on where you can stay.
- If you prefer we can try to coordinate housing with other HKUPA members who are willing to share their couch/floor with you. Please contact Bill Byrne at liam.o.broin@gmail.com
- Another option is to use the www.couchsurfing.com site.
- Hostels in the area www.hostels.com These are inexpensive places to stay and average around $30 US/night. If you book a room don't expect it to fit more than the stated capacity (ie if you book a room for two don't expect it to sleep 4)
Book the Causewaybay ones first as they are more convenient to the field.
- Click here http://eteamz.active.com/hkupa/links/ for more guest houses in the area.
- Hotels convenient to the field and fun areas of Hong Kong: Cosmopolitan Hotel http://www.cosmopolitanhotel.com.hk/ They have guarenteed us a rate of $1300/per night.($168 US)
- Cosmo Hotel: http://www.cosmohotel.com.hk/contact.html
