Where is the best place to stay in Hong Kong?
I am going with 2 of my friends and we are all college students, hence we would like to stay at the center of sightseeing, shopping, markets, and nightlife! Any recommendations? Thanks!

pull out a map and you will see hong kong is composed of the hong kong island and kowloon penisular. it would be more convenient to stay in wanchai / causeway bay region if you prefer the hongkong side, or the stretch along nathan road from tsimshatsui to mongkok for the kowloon side. in both cases, you will find shopping, drinking, eateries around, plus served by the mtr (underground train). but of course, that comes with a price on the accomodation. if the hotels are right at the mtr stations exits, the room rates will be higher. maybe cheaper if happens to be in between two stations, cheaper if on the third road or fourth road from the main road, etc. you know what i mean.

I always stay at either Mirador Mansions or Chungking Mansions on Nathan Road in Kowloon. Right in the heart of a busy shopping district, with the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station on your doorstep. There are a ton of cheap and affordable guest houses to choose from in those buildings and is where many, if not most, foreign backpackers stay.
