Located in Fortress hill, a quick ride on the MTR from the central and wan chai districts, it's very convenient. It was very bright, clean and safe feeling. We had a private room with our own bathroom, which was good value. the free internet was one of the best things as we had a laptop with us. There was also a microwave, water cooler and fridge just outside our room. The shower was hot and amazing! the airport bus picks up right outside, and the tram stop is 1 minute away. would recommend.

its wasnt funny to take a shower in the dorm with 6 people when the toilet is beside it and everything is wet there and dirty because it gets cleaned just once a day if it gets cleaned.It would be a better solution to put the shower on an other lace as the toilett, or to clean them twice a day.then the opening hours are 24 a day it should be expected to be cleaned twice a day.

Great hostel in a relatively good location (a five-minute walk from the MTR), but the dorm room was a bit cramped, and when we moved to a twin room, we were relocated to another premises across the street, which was inconvenient in terms of visiting the reception desk and lounge in the main building.

I live in the 8 female dorm. The room is clean and well-faciliated. The staff there are very helpful. The location is quite nice. It's near the MTR station, but I recommend the Tram,(dingding che), the station is also very near! It's a little niosy, but can bear~

The location is excellent, walking distance to MRT train subway, airport bus and bus station, door step to &eleven, bakery, convenient shop. Security is good with passcode and card identify to enter. May be too many customer and staff is seldom smile or even talk to them they will still look at computer and partner is asleep on desk. Atmosphere inside dorm room is pack and small with 9 bed inside with many peoples and noise. Recommend to have private ensuite because the price is almost similar.

It was very terrible. We arrived after midnight and the staff seemed sleepy,moody to our questions. Moreover I heard the water flowing in the toilet all night long and in about 2 mornings, no hot water from the shower ;(, so bad to have a cold shower during 12 C

This place is worse than the time I slept outside at a Border in Africa. At least there I could go to sleep when I wanted to. We were always locked out of our room and the staff didn't care. I wouldnt wish this place on my enemies. The common bathroom floor was consistently covered in water mixed with human feces. The room was tiny, damp, and reeked of wet cat farts. We found a place about ten times as good just walking into a random building. I liked the wifi and communal atmosphere complaining

Disappointing - our room was actually in another building 5 mins from the advertised hostel. We paid £200 for 3 nights thinking that the extra money would secure a better standard than Chunkin Mansions. We felt sorely ripped off. Grim decor nothing like the photos. Blind didn't even fully cover window so next door could see in. Kitchen utensils consisted of a plastic spoon & 1 cup. We reported loss of power to electric sockets & ended up having to fix it ourselves!

Good place to stay and would definitely go there again. The rooms are quite small which is to be expected but the beds very comfortable, the shower excellent and the Wifi very fast. The location is good but the directions from Fortress Hill metro station on Hostelworld are not completely accurate. We had an fantastic stay over Christmas, thank you Yesinn!

I feel it is very good place to stay in location, facility and atmosphere perspective. there is bus direct to airport in 1-2 mins walk distance(A11)and MTR station in 5 mins walk distance. you will find easy to get access to every place to visit.I recommend to stay here and I will definately revisit when I go to HK.

  • Very close to the subway, very convenient. The Hostel is split between multiple buildings so it's not too fun in that sense but ...
