Hostels in Hong Kong, China

The stay at Venetian Hostel was a good one. Surprising at first if you are from the west due to it's location, but equally super interesting and an authentic experience of Hong Kong. The rooms were small, but no one is expecting luxury at such a price, clean, the AC worked well (which is a must in such a hot place) and the reception was very helpful. The roof of the building also makes for a pretty cool hang out spot if you can manage the heat.

On the ground floor, there were quite a few foreigners, seemingly all exchanging currency. The hotel is located in Block B, so you need to walk further inside and take the elevator. It's quite close to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station Exit N5. Right outside the building, there's an international mall, which is convenient for shopping. However, the fan inside was quite noisy, and the air conditioning wasn't really on. The overall hygiene of the building seemed just okay. The front desk staff were very nice and showed me how to use the key card access. A thoughtful touch was that they provided an adapter, as mainland Chinese and Hong Kong sockets are different.

The room was tidy and well-equipped, featuring international sockets, a window, a desk, and a locker. They offered free luggage storage and a quiet common area. The location was convenient, and all four front desk staff members I encountered were very friendly; there was absolutely no discrimination whatsoever.

Just a few minutes' walk from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station. Thumbs up. Lots of small goods markets nearby. Thumbs up. The guesthouse is located right in Chungking Mansions. It's very convenient to take the MTR anywhere in Hong Kong. Thumbs up.

The location is perfect. After entering the building, you need to take the elevator (on the left) to the reception on the 16th floor, which operates 24/7. They took a 100 HKD deposit. The room is very small. There are both European and American power outlets, a fan, and air conditioning. The room smelled of smoke, and at 170 cm tall, I barely fit in the bed, having to bend my legs while sleeping. The duvet cover smelled like a sour rag, and condensation constantly dripped from the air conditioner unit outside the window, making a very audible 'drip-drip-drip' sound in the room. There were also some small flies constantly in the room.

This stay exceeded my expectations! The hotel's location is superb, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The subway is right outside, the room was clean and tidy, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the landlady was so warm and thoughtful. The value for money is exceptional. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit!

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.

Normally, check-in is at 7 PM, and check-out is at 9 AM! Hot water isn't turned on until 8 PM, then it's turned off in the middle of the night. Then it's back on at 8 AM. Very inconvenient. They also charge extra for cleaning and taxes upon check-in, saying it's a price error on Ctrip. And they charge another 30 yuan for luggage storage after check-out. Ugh!

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.

This building is located above a large mobile phone store. The housekeeping staff communicate via mobile phone or WeChat, as there's no physical front desk; they provide the password for the keyless entry remotely. The room is standardly compact but has everything you need. You can leave your luggage here, and most guests are Chinese.
