My experience there was positive. I was surprised by the size of the room (it being so small), but it worked since I was out for most of the day and night. Internet was fast and convenient. Water heater runs out fast but can also be really hot at the same time. I found I had to be careful balancing the temperature. The owners were very friendly and accommodating.

Stayed over new year. The room was physically the smallest room a single bed ensuite could be. Yes it did lack character but the staff were helpful and nice and only using the room to sleep in was perfect. Not stayed elsewhere in HK but would appear to be very standard. Standard choice, it does what you need to but nothing more.

This is a hostel based on a portion of one floor in Kingland Mansions, with that in mind they've done as much as they can. But the lack of space is quite an eye opener as we've previously backpacked across europe, china and vietnam. Our double bed was tiny. The hosts were quite helpful but as there is little space they is also very little to no mingling between guests. If you are only dropping by then it would be manageable, but the shower above the toilet gets old pretty quickly.

Very small rooms. They actually expect 2 people to share 1 bed in the family room.

The two rooms (room for 2 and room for three) that we stayed in during our four nights stay there were clean and well maintained. The bath room in the three bedded room was a bit cramp for people who have a bigger built. The staff there were very friendly. It was a pleasant stay .

Geo-Home was fine!...What ain't cool is that Ms. Kitty did not bother to tell us that the other 5 from our group would stay in a land far far away.....We were expecting they would AT LEAST stay in the same building but to our "souprice" (this is my aggrandized form of surprise) they had to go through subway to reach their place where no one understands English!The receptionist even took us to 7-11 when we asked for a phone charger adapter!Imagine that!Imagine their situation!Imagine!!!=>

The room i got was a double bed and was at the corner. It had an excellent view and a giant window. The room was small but it is expected in Kowloon. But it isn't a very fun hostel, there are cardboard boxes piled everywhere and the building is alil run down. Still, way better than Chunking mansions - you don't have to wait long for the lift and the environment is generally more peaceful and safe!

Great location, great hospitality with clean and fresh towels everyday. Although the room was tiny, the positive elements I mentioned earlier more than made up for the lack of space. You can get to every other corner of HK from the Mongkok MRT which is just minutes away from the hostel. Kitty and Mr Tsai who run the place are very warm and accomodating. No need to worry about leaving your belongings in the room when you're gone sightseeing cos security is well maintained. Thanks, GeoHome!!

The room was clean and in general, I liked it. I found the beds too small to be considered as double-bed. The location is convenient as it's near Mongkok MTR station yet we found it really difficult to find. The confirmation letter should include a map instead of just directions as most Chinese do not speak nor read English. We wasted so much time looking for it. The directions never mentioned it being very close to Mcdonalds or beside a pharmacy. It would have been easier to find it that way.

The hostel was in a decent location on Nathan Road close to the mong kok station which made transport to and from attractions very easy. The hostel room itself was not ideal, our room did not have a window which actually made my friend shit his bed. The bathroom had no real wall/door therefor we were forced to listen to eachother masterbate... a lot. The staff were very friendly, although kitty insisted that we call her pussy at all times.

Great little hostel in Kowloon! Not too many tourists around here so you see the locals go about their business which is interesting! The room was very clean, comfy despite being small and the staff were super helpful and kind! I would definitely stay again!

THE ROOM WAS TINY AS WELL AS THE RESTROOM. WE BOOKED A DOUBLE ROOM ENSUITE. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MOVE THINGS IN SUCH SPACE BUT WE HAD A LOT OF FUN. THE PEOPLE AT THE HOSTEL WERE REALLY NICE AND THEY HELPED US ALL THE TIME. REALLY GOOD LOCATION CLOSED TO THE SUBWAY AND WITH A LOT OF BUS CONNECTIONS.THE ENTRANCE OF THE BUILDING IS DIFFICULT TO FIND BUT ONCE YOU LEARN HOW TO DO IT IS FINE. IN GENERAL, I WOULD RECOMMEND THE PLACE 100% AND I WILL STAY THERE IF I WENT THERE AGAIN.

I really really really liked this hostel, compared to Chungking Mansions this place is excellent. From the moment me and my friend arrived we were looked after...our bags were taken straight to our room, we were greeted with smiles and we got two bottles of ice cold FREE water. Kitty is absolutely fantastic, really lovely lady and all her staff were so so friendly. When we left the kind young lady took our bagsand took us to the stop for the bus to the airport. Fantastic service :) Keep it up!!!

This was our first hostel experience and it really lived up to our expectations!! Kitty was brilliant and made the stay excellent, answering any questions we had about Hong Kong. We were also able to leave our bags for the day after checking out which really helped as we had a late night flight!

Loved the aircondition in the room, when it was 30 degrees celcius outside. A small hoostel but the staff was really helpful and friendly. Only drawback is that it is hard to find once you are at kinglands appartment.
