The room is clean even it's small. The staff ate Dina is very helpful and friendly. The location was great it's very near at mongkok mtr station 2 mins walk if you exit D2. Near also to A21 bus station, going to Airport. Near to shopping centers like H&M, night market, ladies market. Definitely you will enjoy the place!

Great service from Ms. Dina the Filipina staff :) location is also great, just a few minutes from the Mongkok MTR. Room and cr is a bit small but that is already expected from HK hostels... security is also ok..

Small, but pretty decent and cheap from what I've experienced and heard about in Hong Kong.

For a budget stay in a cool district look no futher, but dont expect social life. Its small rooms, where most have no window (but there is decent ventilation fans to the outside so it smells allright, and no windows mean less street noise), but I guess thats just Hong Kong for you. Its clean, the beds are good, the staff friendly, and flexible, and hooks up real easy with the bus to the airport (A21), as well as the MTR (Mong Kok stop). The best thing is the location: smack in amazing Mong Kok!!

I stayed in a room with two twin beds. Great location next to MTR, and rooms were comfortable and clean, albeit very, very small (particularly bathrooms; I am 6'3" and barely fit in the bathroom). Dina the receptionist was wonderful and very helpful. Value was good when put in the context of Hong Kong being an expensive city. I'd recommend this place for someone looking for a great location and who spends their entire day out in Hong Kong and only needs a room to sleep and shower.

Great, friendly service. Bed small, but firm. Room tiny, as expected from Hong Kong. They had a computer (always open) that you could use for the internet. The advantage over ChungKing Mansion: here, you do not have a small army of scary South Asian guys jumping on you as soon as you get out of the bus, and every time you go in and out. Also, you do not have to walk through alleys to get to the building. I preferred this over ChungKing Mansions!

Their location is the best, but when I checking out they allow me to leave my luggage until 16:30 only, otherwise they will have an additional cost.

Second booking, now Ellies put me in 3 bed family room at 9th Floor, all work well as expected. Room was clean and nice and pillow softer than my first night in this property few days back (I had to buy new pillow, can't sleep at first night). Room size is decent, bathroom small but very functional, jet shower, clean water, everything is as expected. Would surely back to this property if I'm in Hong Kong again.

I read the review about this hostel and it generally quite good. Book single bedroom with shared bathroom, and owner (Ellies) put me in the upstair room (14th floor) where all room with shared bathroom there. Problem is, 14th floor undergo renovation, they refurbish 1 room and it's dirty all over with dust. Room small as expected, amenities are relatively there (tissue, water jug, plastic glass). Shared bathroom tap not working, shower work perfectly, strong water and hot water available.

Small bathroom. The hostel is rare, because the map is not clear. If you want to stay, you will find Seven Eleven opposite the entrance door.

Finding a cheap place to stay in Hong Kong AWAY from the CHungKing Mansions is pretty tough, but this hostel really did provide a pleasant stay. The lady that runs it is very awesome and helpful; the location is great; and I was just annoyed that I only stayed there one night, because I'd have been happy to stay longer. If I ever return to HK again, this will be the first place I'll check for availability. :)
