    There is no elevator but it is just located at the second floor.

    Very clean; helpful and friendly staff; transportation convenient to go to tour site by metro or bus; lots of restaurants downstairs. Female room has its own attached toilet and bath, not shared with other rooms, so privacy for female is better.

    Best hostel in Hong Kong for a unique and local experience there

    The weather when I stayed was quite extreme but it's not the fault of the hostel You can't really cook in the hostel but that's part of the life of Hongkongers and there are plenty of cheap food options around

    Have stayed in this hostel for a few weeks for some personal issues. The staff are the best, being able to give thoughtful recommendations for food, transport, activities and so on. And this hostel is in a local neighbourhood, which means you will be able to see how the locals live and eat what they usually have, instead of paying touristy prices for things that might not worth. The facilities are always kept clean and tidy. Thank you again for all the staff and guests there that made my stay less painful and even somehow enjoyable!

    Individual issue though, some guests required to respect the manner. They should put their luggage at designated to place not beside their beds. Hope they pay attention to noise matter after 10pm and early in the morning.

    Good location. Walking distance to MRT station,bus stop to the Airport and main tourists' destinations:) Staff are friendly and supportive. There are bunch of info on the information board about eatery, what to visit and see.

    The room door is noisy every time it closes, it woke me up during the night when somebody open and close it.

    Nothing bad except for the cons mentioned below. Well facility management, kind staff. Compared to other hostels in HK, it just amazing. And for sure, I’ll be back again, and it is suitable for backpackers, won’t be treated like a refugee in your trip in HK.

    I am struggling to think of even a single thing. It can be a little hard to find, but that's just Hong Kong architecture. All good things are a journey.

    The best hostel I've stayed in. Beds were more comfortable than some dormitories I've lived in for school long-term. Beautiful, beautiful interior, so clean, so friendly. Great list of restaurants in a very cool very local-focused neighborhood. If you are visiting Hong Kong, stay here and don't think twice.

    Big communal space with fridge, water, kettle, microwave etc. Laundry service available. Clean bathrooms. Very clean and modern. Comfortable beds.

    Lockers could be bigger. Other hostels I've stayed in used the bottom of the bed as a locker Location is fine, not exceptional like Mongkok but Hong Kong is so small it probably doesn't matter

    The bed has a nice roller shade for privacy (although some guests do not seem to realise the person inside can still see out), however if your top bunk mate is not graceful in his clambering at whatever ungodly hour of the night he returns, he may inadvertently turn the bottom rail of the shade into an avant-garde percussion instrument and startle you awake with a clanging symphony against the metal of the bunk ladder and railing. Even the nice ear plugs provided at check-in are no help in this situation. Just a warning to roll the thing all the way down. Based on amenities/comfort, staff + location alone (for which I give 10/10) I would stay here again, however at least on the weekend the guest demographic appears to lean towards youth looking to have a good time (power to them), and I fear I myself am now in greater pursuit of good sleep.

    Cool place, short walk to the MTR and airport bus stop, easy to find. Interesting neighborhood with a lot of food options and walking distance to the waterfront. Front desk guy was friendly and helpful when checking in and out. The bed is very clean and comfortable with convenient locker + outlet, aircon and wifi work well. Shampoo, shower gel, towel, ear plugs, slippers and filtered water provided. Bathrooms were tidy, plenty of showers. The common room has neat decor and books, and a big window overlooking the intersection makes for good ambiance.

    The female dorm has two toilets and two showers, which was very convenient. However, while other guests slept in the morning, I was afraid to use them to make noise. (There was other female bathroom so it was no problem though!) Also, it was a bit difficult to know which items are common or private in the public area.

    All the staff were very friendly. They hang their recommendations in the neighborhood on the wall, so I tried many local restaurant. It was a great experience! Location was perfect for airport and other popular area. There are several bus stops nearby. It was very convenient. Thank you!!

    Traditional HK house with clean interior.Great stuff, very understanding, perfect service, feel free to ask them for recommendations. A lot of great food options around, MRT is also in a few minutes walk, easy to travel to the airport with direct bus. Quite astonished that this hostel has such a low ranking, it's definitely shot above its weight.

    As several others mentioned, the air conditioning in the rooms is not good. The rooms get pretty stuffy as a result and very hot during the night.

    The location was pretty close to the tube/metro and a direct bus from the airport, which made it convenient. As far as Hong Kong goes, the staff was good, too. Reasonably good value for money. Showers are pretty good.
