I was worried about staying here initially because I had two conflicting sources of info: - I asked my local HK friend and he said I would have "the shock of my life" if I stayed at Yesinn, on the other hand - the majority of the 300+ reviews for Yesinn, and some blog searches said Yesinn was a decent place. I think Yesinn is a great value, and relatively clean and comfortable place to stay on HK island :) Thank you for the great experience + hospitality!

Nice hostel, kind of hard to find, and not in the nicest area. But good location overall and very comfy beds!

Very close to MTR station and the shopping district in Causeway Bay. Excellent security. Free fast wifi connection. Room is quite small, but understandable considering how expensive HK Island can be. Highly recommended.

People are nice. I haven't had a plan before I go to Hong Kong but people staying in the dorm are really willing to help me out. Staff has good knowledge of place to go in Hong Kong. Got some good advice from them.

The hostel was okay, although they had some troubles at the bookings at first but they fixed it. It's accessible to the MTR station and all of the staff are friendly.

Good hostel. The staff were mostly pretty helpful with queries. The rooms are small but I booked a 6 bed dorm and was put in a 3 bed dorm instead for the same price so I was happy. There isn't a big area to meet people especially as the hostel is split on two levels. But overall would recommend.

Stay in this hostel is quite cosy although the room is small, but lot of thing nearby, restaurant, shopping, market, convenience store. Common area although is small but I can concentrate at my study while I travel.

good location on the HK island. Not far from the MTR. Very tiny rooms with small single beds. Noice...okay..might be a little bit loud when other guests coming back late in night and going out in the morning. Equal to the price! I sure will consider to live in again!

Quite a frustrating place to stay. Had to change floors after checking in and then checjing out. Slow annoying lifts. Didnt have a hostel feel with parents and children staying there yelling in the hallways late at night. Blow dryer in the hall is a stupid idea as every room can hear someone use it.
