What about Hostelling International?

I think that's close, but I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right stuff...

Subject: [Wikimania-l] Your Local Team update for Wikimania 2013: March 2013

Dear Wikimaniacs & Non-Wikimaniacs
This is your local team lead for this years conference in Hong Kong. 
As the local team pretty understands everyone's anticipation to the conference

so we will try to keep you informed about the latest update of the 
conferencewhenever they can be release to the public
Here are a few piece of info I think you will be interested to know


a. Hostel accommodationOne thing I am sorry to tell you that, the dorm of PolyU 
is not available due to renovation in this summer.So we have arrange the dorm 
of another university in Kowloon, Baptist University for scholarship recipients 
(whether WMF or Chapter scholarship)


However, the BU dorm is not in the walking distance to PolyU,but it is still in 
a very convenient location, just two MTR stations away from PolyUand we will 
also arrange shuttle in the morning, to getting most people to the venue. 


We estimate there are still a number of beds that can be available as hostel 
options,so the local team will start accepting reservation for these extra 
bedswhen the scholarship recipients start getting letter of notifications.


We will only accept those reservation request from those who are not supported 
by any scholarship or any Wikimedia entities,and also we may consider reserving 
some beds for Wikipedians/wikimedians only


For the location of the new dorm, you may visit this website:  
http://sa.hkbu.edu.hk/ugh/hallmap.htmlMore information will be available in the 
official wiki


b. PartiesWe are basically settled on the choice of venue for both welcoming 
parties and closing partieshowever we cannot reveal too much, either we are 
still negotiation, or revealing may lead to some extra cost.


For the opening party, please pray for a good weather, as you can enjoy the 
famous harbour view from the venue.
and for the closing party, considering some feedbacks we will switch to a Beach 
party, rather than Beach barbecue

the location is also different from the one we stated in the bidhowever, you 
can still experience the different landscape of Hong Kong (suppose you never 
see or even expect)




If you have any questions, please feel free to keep asking in the current 
available meanslike here, or the wiki page, we may try to be active on IRC, but 
due to the time difference.... we cannot be always online while you're online


lOOking forward to seeing you here in August
