I saw some other hostels in HK, is not the best, is not the worst. Is clean for those hostel standards and the rooms are not that bad. My only complain is that I heard many rats above the room.

Not that bad! I only read very bad comments about the hostel, but after all it was not so bad. The room was miniscule but rather clean and newly renovated. Inet was quick and the staff friendly. The location is pretty good as well. Would stay there again. Only the price was skyrocketing around New Year's Eve. And after changing the booking they insisted on us loosing our deposit (25USD). Which is correct but not really friendly. So make sure that your booking doesnt change.

Tai Wan hotel was relatively good. It's just that when we arrived there the room was not yet ready and they first had to clean it and we had to wait for quite sometime. Also, when we needed an adapter for charging our cellphones and cameras they charged us 20HKD for it when they could have just lent us one.

The place was in a very busy commercial building. Getting to the floor was difficult as the elevators were small and overcrowded. The receptionist could be little bit more friendly. Overall, the hostel needs more work to get better.

It looked very dodgy and and there was rubbish lying around. I booked a single room but got a room with two beds since I arrived very late at night and the guy at the reception asked if it was ok to place some random person in the room with me which of course I refused. There was no storage room to leave luggage somewhere during the daytime so that I took it with me on my daytrip to Hongkong. The room itself looked clean but one day after I stayed there I felt like having fleebites.

We had a double-dormitory room with a bunkbed. When we entered the room, there were cockroaches running all over the bed and the small cupboard on the wall. We complained at the desk, the girl just said the room is as clean as usual(!), and we can't complain, but they can clean by wiping the room - what is not really usefull when you have cockroaches. The dormitory itself is very dirty and smells like feces! We checked out immediately after check-in but didn't get the money back. NEVER AGAIN!!

Dear guest, you booked standard room for 3 persons 3 nights from 21th - 23th sep total fees is HKD1350 for 3 nights, at morning time, your friend have checkin early, reception staff ask him if possible he can pay the fee for you, but your friend said not sure you will check in at what time, and he don't want to pay the fees for you. cause your provide time is 21:00pm, after this time, we need guest to pay the extra deposit, cause your friend not pay the fees for you, reception no have choice to keep your room until 21:00, from record, you are checkin at 23:30, this is much later than your provide time, our staff have been explain this for you, you can stay 1 night or cancel the booking free of charge, you choose stay 1 night . We recommend all guests if their checkin time is very late, need prepay the addtional deposit, every made booking's, our online department staffs will send emails to each customer, if guest checkin late, need pay the extra fees, sorry for the inconvience caused.

on the hostel wall of comment was written "I will not reccomand even to my mother in law!" This i think says everything... We were calling it prison, it was really small and in the worst building of hong kong... But i have to say that if u need just cheap place to sleep it is ok...
