It was located at a very centralized area in Mongkok, near the MTR, near woman's street, near endless amount of fun in Hong Kong. There was always something to do, something to eat, even deep into the night. Really worth the money for the shampoo, soap, room service (clean up and change of bedsheet/towel) etc. Staff were polite and the promotions on tickets to The Peak and Ocean Park were good also!

It's a very good location for tourist who really want to stay in the busiest city with shops and markets. The room is quite clean and good smell. However, it would be better if the owner intend to have more decoration such as color of wall or color of bathroom wall. This will make the room is upgrading and look good image comparing with other hostels nearby.

good place to stay in HK which (trust me) is not easy to find. room and bathroom was clean. rooms are small, though one only uses it for sleep anyway. for me, it really was just a place to sleep since unfortunately, there is no common room to meet other backpackers or such.

Our room at the hostel didn't met the health standard as the toilet was not working, when we complain in the afternoon, the manager was most unpleasant and rude . Luckly the worker there sort of fix the toilet . we were told off and told to leave if we are not happy and she will refund us We been to other hostel in Vietnam but this is the most unpleasant of all

Nice, clean hostel right next to MTR station in a good central location but away from the tourist traps in Tsim Sha Tsui. Staff was friendly and helpful, free wifi, and the dorm rooms were clean and spacious for HK standards. Not much for common areas so if you are a single traveler it may be difficult to meet people unless the dorms are full (I was the only person in my dorm the first night!)

Relatively clean and tidy. Especially good in location as it is very easy to find. Staff are nice but the boss who sits at the front desk is not so good as the room type was wrongly given and finally I was FORCED to adapt another room type. They need to work on this as room management is highly important.

The A-Inn was generally an OK place to stay. It's HK so I expected a 'compact' room and it was. The staff were fine. In my room both the TV remote and toilet flushing mechanism was broken (but you could operate it by taking off the lid) and obviously had been for a while. This was the first of 3 hostels I stayed in while in HK and of the three it was 3rd overall. None of the 3 had real common areas to meet other travellers which kinda sucks if you're backpacking and hoping to make friends.

it is very expensive for what it is but welcome to HK! the rooms are very small (not even enough space to open a luggage on the floor), the hot water's not always working, the walls are thin enough for you to hear what's going on in the other rooms. but apart from that, the staff is very nice, the room always clean, with a good wifi access.it is located in an overcrowded and very noisy area but the windows are good enough for you not to hear what's happening outside. this hotel is definitely..ok

I stayed in another hostel in the same building before so it wasn't hard to locate. TThe entrance is just beside a food stall that sells smelly tofu and all sorts of HK snacks. I like it that the room area that I stayed in had an extra door that required a key to enter. That gives me assurance and security that my room is really safe! For the price I paid and having 3 individual beds, I am a happy customer :) Oh yes, the hostel is really smack in the heart of Mongkok shopping district!

body shampoo have to replace frequently or at least keep stock at counter, as i called to counter but was told that no more body shampoo to be provided.This is not as promised. Take note of the philipino staff's attitude, when we have question to her, her attitude is not welcome. For eg. the wifi is not working.

The area that the hostel is in is great, but the building itself is a little offputting. Once checked in the dorm room was tiny but fine: neat, clean, etc. There isn't much of an atmosphere to the place but since I only stayed one night it was a good place to crash.

Very good, cleanly hostel, friendly staff and excellent location in the middle of Kowloon. Only bed was a little short for me :-) Thanks a lot A-inn.
