Hi!
U can check with agency how much they are offering for group discount for airticket. Usually, if you hit 10 or 15, they have group discount, the more the cheaper it is.
As for accomodation, depending how much rooms you are getting, you can ask for corporate rates which can be quite attractive.
Hope the above info help.

Hi EA,
I'll be going to HK in June and will be staying in Dragon Hostel also. It seems to be the more popular hostel in HK. It's in Mongkok and v near to all the shopping areas. But room is quite small lah. U can try searching Dragon Hostel and U'll see a lot of reviews about them. Me staying there cos it's cheap (only about S$50-60 per night) so can save more $$ more shopping, esp. when I'll be there for 5days..
Anyone can help with recommendations on food and shopping? Am planning my itinerary now..

i stayed at majestic hotel.
day 1 - arrival, walked around the hotel to explore, didn't do much things.
day 2 - lantau (big buddha), avenue of stars and Symphony of lights.
(IMO, symphony of lights not worth going.)
day 3 - disneyland, tung chung (for outlets), temple st
day 4 - repulse bay, stanley mkt and victoria peak.
day 5 - go to a park near the hotel, flying back to s'pore.
didn't do much shopping 'cos i went with in law and brought my bb there. so, got to be very flexible in time loh.

Hihi
I stayed at ashley's 2 weeks ago. it's clean, nice and pretty convenient. Also newly renovated. the place is easy to miss though, u've gotta watch out for the building no. otherwise, the place is pretty easy to find. I stayed in both the superior room and standard room. Their new design is not what you see on their website. Their standard room is rather small, but it's really ok to me. the bed in the standard room is actually a sofa bed. Service provided was also good. security wise, u need a pin for every level, so it's only accessible to residents as well as their employees. They even let me check in early.
only drawback for me was i went during peak season, and they almost didn't want to give me an offer price that they quoted me initially. even then, the offer price was more expensive that what's quoted by rachel.
Overall, i highly recommend the place.

Ashley hotel is it clean and the room whether is small?
hi! rachel
fyi, only ascott staff are entitled to staff rates and they have to be presented at the time of check in. Unless, they know the resident manager and then perhaps can get corporate rates for their friends.
I used to work in Ascott and I can say that the staff rates are pretty attractive.
