Hostels in Hong Kong, China

Wow, I was really impressed by the thoughtful touches the moment I walked in! For a central Hong Kong location, this hostel offers pretty good value for money. I did my homework before coming (once in Spain, I didn't plan ahead and almost got pickpocketed!). While Hong Kong's streets and alleys are narrow and prices are high, the experience here is much better than the guesthouses I stayed at in Korea and Japan. I can even say this in my (bad) Cantonese – I'm a huge TVB fan! The transportation is super convenient; just take the elevator from Tsim Sha Tsui Exit D1 directly to the 13th floor, and the front desk is right there (it's very noticeable, and the chubby guy at the front desk is quite cute). I carefully checked my booking details before arriving and contacted the hostel 48 hours in advance, so the self-check-in process was incredibly smooth and easy. The building itself is a very typical Hong Kong commercial-residential building, making you feel like you're on a TVB set – it has so much character! I'd definitely come back again if I have the chance! The only minor regret is that the Mixue Ice Cream & Tea (bubble tea shop) across the street closed down, and other bubble tea places are a bit pricey – Hong Kong is quite expensive, haha. Highly recommend!

Excellent and very clean! My son even got to practice some English with the owner, so it was definitely worth it. At first, I was a bit apprehensive seeing so many foreigners at the entrance, thinking it might not be safe. But once inside, I realized that wasn't the case at all. The owner was right there, making it feel very secure and friendly. Seeing that we were three adults with a child, they even offered an extra set of toiletries, though we didn't end up using them as we had our own. Families with kids should definitely consider this place; it's a great opportunity for them to practice English with the owner and understand its importance. This hotel offers incredible value for money! The location is fantastic too – Victoria Harbour is just a few hundred meters walk from the entrance. We stayed out until 10 pm and simply walked back, saving on subway fares. Besides the noisy air conditioning, everything else was perfect! Highly recommended!!!

Before I came, I saw the reviews were pretty average, so I was really worried about bugs in the summer. Luckily, my room was on the 22nd floor, so I didn't have to worry about mosquitoes. However, the water pressure on the high floors wasn't great, so the shower stream was quite slow. The bed in the room was a bit short; I'm 188cm tall, and my legs couldn't stretch out straight when I slept. I either had to hang my feet off the end or curl up, which made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. Also, there must have been dust mites on the bed because I was quite itchy, though not severely. Plus, I stayed in an upper bunk, and the ceiling was very low, so as a tall person, I couldn't sit up straight and had to lie down all the time. Some bunks didn't have a small shelf next to them (my upper bunk had nowhere to put things, but the one next to mine did), which was a bit inconvenient. The location is excellent; the cha chaan teng downstairs is basically a sure bet. The front desk service was very warm and attentive, not like the coldness some online comments mentioned about Hong Kong people. I was lucky this time not to have a snoring roommate, and I even made a great friend here.

The front desk staff inexplicably asked me to leave a good review even before I checked in. After I finally checked in, I found out I was assigned to an upper bunk, which was okay, I guess. But I think they could do a better job with safety measures. There's no safety rail on the upper bunk, and it would be really bad if someone rolled off. That's just my safety suggestion. When I checked out in the morning, it was quite an eye-opener. They tried to give me back Hong Kong dollars for the 100 RMB deposit I paid last night, but I pointed it out and they did return the correct amount. And just as the reviews mentioned, they charged a cleaning fee, which was over 20 yuan.

This hostel and room is very simple but sufficient. It is nothing flash, feels a bit old and dilapidated but it’s clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. There is filtered water for free in the lobby. I had the two bed room shared with another traveller. The room and beds are very small and the bathroom too, and the door is thin but good to have a private bathroom. There is air con. Some of the charging ports did not work I think. The location is great, near lots of restaurants and close to the metro, easy to get to Hong Kong central by metro or ferry. The entrance to the building  has a lot of foreign men trying to sell accomodation or something, and you have to go up a lift which you may need to wait a while for.

The hotel's location is excellent. It's just a short walk from the A21 airport bus stop, and you can easily catch the bus to the airport from right around the corner. It's right in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, with the MTR station just a few steps away, making dining and shopping incredibly convenient. Victoria Harbour is also just a short stroll ahead. The hotel owner, his wife, and the staff are all incredibly nice. I arrived early and, seeing how hot it was, decided to rest a bit before heading out. To my surprise, the front desk staff allowed me to check in early! Furthermore, when I was out on an errand and ended up checking out over an hour late, the owner was very understanding and kindly extended my check-out time. In a place like Hong Kong, where every inch is precious, this was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. The owner and staff are genuinely kind and humane, which is truly rare 🌹🌹. The room was very clean, though a bit small, and had no strange odors. Plus, the outlets didn't require an adapter, which was super convenient for me as a traveler from mainland China, especially since I'd forgotten mine. All in all, this is a hotel with a human touch, an exceptionally good location, and excellent cleanliness. I'll definitely stay here again next time. Thank you to the owner and staff!

Located in the bustling Tsim Sha Tsui area, this hotel offers a quiet escape. We were a party of three and booked a quad room, which was quite spacious and clean. The reception area is small but very cozy, equipped with tea bags, coffee, and hot and cold water. Downstairs, dining and getting around are incredibly convenient, with two subway entrances right outside. Across the street, about 100 meters ahead, there's a Haiphong Road wet market where you can find authentic local wonton noodles, pork chop rice, and fish balls, all very good. Especially recommended is Chung Kee, run by two elderly ladies – their beef brisket and fish balls are generously portioned, and the shrimp in their wontons are large and fresh. The hotel also has Vietnamese and Thai restaurants downstairs, all at fair prices. There's a mosque opposite and Kowloon Park nearby, perfect for a stroll.

The front desk and the room are not in the same area, the front desk is in A, and the room is in D. People arrived late, Peter at the front desk was very enthusiastic, and he also upgraded the independent guard and introduced the details of the stay. like

Relatively easy to get to, with easy communication with the Guesthouse owners. The location is great- right in front of the Kowloon mosque which was great for us, indicating availability of halal food nearby. Within walking distance of the mtr, tourist attractions and shops (7e is right below). We took the Cityliner from the airport and got dropped off at the nearest stop which was great! Room was super tight, with small bathroom with a shower head right above the toilet. The toilet doors required some manoeuvring because it could close but was somewhat disconnected from each sliding panel (with evidence of some bugs stuck between the panels, I can understand, in rather hard to reach places).Otherwise, clean enough room and very quiet. Enough space under the beds to store luggage but otherwise, just enough space around the room for a single person to walk about, so we had to take turns and mostly sat on our beds. For very short stays, seems like a good place.

I've booked here many times. They clean thoroughly every day, so it's much cleaner than the other hostels I've stayed at here in Hong Kong. There's water and a kettle available outside of the rooms. While the owner and workers are quite accommodating, they only really speak Cantonese and Mandarin, so just be prepared for that.
