Ashoka Hostel Reviews

I think it's good enough for this money ,the location is very good. the room is also ok .a little big small ,but clean enough.

a real value for money we paid . Staffs are helpful and very adjustable.... I recommend everyone to stay in this hostel

Location and people are perfect but cleanliness is terrible

Great location. The building itself might be really scarry for an average tourist, but after ascending the ground floor filled with very pushy bastards you get the second impression and it's much better. The staff and rooms are really big assets to this place! :) the receptionist and Harpreet Singh were really friendly and helpfull. I booked a 1-person room with shared wc, but surprisingly I got a bigger one with it's own wc. The room was clean and nice. I will be back! Thanks Piotr G.

smelly room

Out of my expectation, the hostel is good. receptionist (Girl named Dep is great, helpful and politeness, she is nice girl) is doing a good job. Overall make me point up my thumb and like on it.

I've stayed in most the guesthouses in Chungking Mansions and Ashoka is the best; purely down to the friendliness of the staff. They go out of their way to make your stay confortable, always have a smile and say hello. They actually care about costumer satisfaction which makes a nice change to other guesthouses in the building. Even remembered me 6 months after a previos stay.

Well located

It's good for me.

Good, basic place. Lack of common space is the only big problem.

Hoping that the door of the washroom can be fix it to better coz it is a litter hard to close the door. And require fews clothes peg. Thank you.

It was in the middle of the city, yes, but the hostel was bad. It's the worse hostel I've ever been, it was only a bed, with nothing exciting for travellers. I wouldn't go back there.

To be honest I would'nt stay here again. Despite having to pretty much stand over the toilet to shower, the rooms where clean and nice enough. Really the only thing wrong with this place is the location, it's in a terrible building with some pretty shady characters downstairs. I was with my sister and she got looked up and down a lot. The reception and our room where at complete oposite sides of the building so they required taking two different (poor quality) lifts. Cheap and a bed for the nigh

I stayed 1 night in a 3 bed-mixed room with my mum in Chinese new year period. Room is small, but equipped with window, fan and aircon. It's cool at night, even fan is not used. location great, quilt at night, staff friendly. Just the 2 shared toilets are tooo small. Others are ok.

One of many hostels in Chunking Mansions which is well known to be not the flashiest place. Great location though, in the heart of Kowloon not too far a walk to mongkok & right next to the subway for easy connections to HK Island and everywhere else. A clean hostel but it consists only of a desk, a corridor & the rooms, no communal areas/chairs/anything like that so not somewhere to meet people. Friendly helpful staff though. Good strong wifi. A tad expensive. Cheaper (but worse) hostels on F/16

Half the staff was rather on the grumpy side and not. The water heater went from boiling hot to cold in the room I stayed in at least. There was a decent lounge with a fridge, rice cooker, table and couches. It is in an excellent location near the main thoroughfare of Kowloon Island, next to the Tsim Sha Sui station.

The hostel is ok, but the people downstairs are horrible. You could also make the hostel more funky, fun looking place.

Decent hostel in a good location in Kowloon. A short walk from the avenue of stars and river view. The lock in the safe locker was broken but after meeting all my room mates I figured nobody was going to steal anything. The staff was nice. They supplied me with soap, a comb, toothpaste and a toothbrush even though I only asked for soap. The rooms are small like they usually are in Hong Kong.

it was a little uncomfortable, very small room, no air-conditioning.
