Need a discount hotel in hong kong,kowloon
I understand prices in HK are considerably higher than most other places. Would like something clean and safe with private bath if possible (but not required) in a location that is accessible for sightseeing and walking around.

The famous Chung King Mansion 
As well as others on Nathan Road and surroundings
Many, many rooms available for not much money, but tiny tiny tiny.
Booking.com, Agoda.com and many others.

I once stayed next door at Mirador Mansion with slightly-less-bad versions of that. Name of the place was something like Hotel USA and rooms were $35 and about the size of a Paris Hilton closet, though it's amazing what they could cram in there. That place was OK. Definitely read reviews for places before considering booking, though...you could get a real dump if not careful.
On trips earlier than that I stayed at the YMCA (also nearby), but they kept getting nicer and more upscale (last time I stayed there some years ago it was $70)

).But I seriously doubt the rooms are bigger than Miss Hilton's closet
@:-)The Y was recommended by a local, but yes, I found it more expensive and passed.

The first time I stayed there was not by choice
UA flight was late (what else is new
), pre merger at that, and when I arrived at Mirador Mansion the gentleman told me all rooms there were gone and escorted me to my room a couple of blocks south.In the morning discovered I spent the night in infamous Chung King Mansions
Second time was by choice as it seems I could not find a room in Mirador Mansion for the night I wanted (booking very close in as I cancelled my original Holiday Inn points reservation as it was too far from the airport).
