Everyone was friendly and ready to help. The hostel is perfectly located in the very heart of downtown Hongkong. There was but one major drawback-the rooms toilet wouldnt work for all of our stay, despite us being told it would be repaired a day after our arrival.

The cancellation should be permitted before 24hours as we had our last day booked separately but they did not allow us.

Great place. Location could not be better (MRT, city bus, markets). Ms Kitty was very cooperative. Many thanks. We enjoyed our stay at Geo-Home.

Until we were able to change rooms from a double bed to two singles with a window, our room was very unsatisfactory. The single beds and window were quite adequate.

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!!
