The location is wonderful. Cheap but not clean. We found a cockroach in the bedroom.

- Internet almost never working even near the hostel counter; cannot withstand the number of people who need to use it. - toilet in our room was leaking and the problem was reported on the first day and nothing was done to solve the problem during our whole stay; we had to close the water pipe manually to prevent the toilet from leaking - overall cleaning is limited emptying the trash; they don't clean the floor or not well enough so that you cannot walk on the floor without slippers or shoes.

The location was really good. Right in the middle of the city, near the water. They weird part was that it was literally someones house that was cleared out for people to stay. There was a housekeeper that slept in the living room the whole night. I think they overbook the hostel, then pay people to house guest in their homes. There was literally pictures of the owner and his wife in the livingroom. With all that said, the owner and housekeeper were really nice and friendly. Only stayed 1 night.

they told me i got a double room which was what i had payed for but that tiny little closet I got could not have been for two persons. The staff was very nice and the location good but i really think they screwed me on that one. So be on your guard when here.

Very basic hostel compared to others, on the 3rd floor, but central to everything main streets and shops. Staff were helpful for directions and we booked the big bus tour with them. Rooms very basic, we shared a 4 bed dorm and a separate bathroom. Hotwater was probably the hardest thing to get, with having to turn it on in advance of showers. Other than that it was grand, doesn't provide food and wifi wasn't always the greatest. But grand for backpackers which we are.

No frills. Basics. Not an immaculate hotel. Dingy place to crash. But if you're not delicate it's fine. Great location. Nice staff. Customers upbeat and livin' it up in HK. Directions TO very poor.

WIFI is available, but nearly non existent. This was the case for most if not everyone staying there. Also, the staff would not honor the internet prices and charged higher, claiming they were an "old " listings. There was also a rat running loose, hah!

The Staff not bad, the is reception is in different Building so it becomes a bit difficult to take information and stuff, the rest were very good!
