About

The Mahjong is Hong Kong's first boutique hostel, centrally located in an authentic local neighbourhood - Tokwawan.

We are close to To Kwa Wan subway station and we are superbly connected by over 30 bus routes to the city's hustling bustling attractions, just a stone's throw from its renowned mountain & coastal charms. All buses stop right outside The Mahjong - we are just 15-20 mins from Tsim Sha Tsui & Mong Kok, and only 25-30 mins from Causeway Bay & Central. The Mahjong neighbourhood is a foodie's paradise and still a best kept secret amongst locals. So come stay with us, and experience Hong Kong as the locals do!

We have a large social lounge for you to meet people around the world. Custom built bunk beds that maximise privacy with personal light & electric sockets, keycard security locker, and privacy screen. Thick 6' hotel grade mattresses and fluffy pillows guarantee you a good night's rest. Designer touches around the hostel showcase Hong Kong heritage and culture. Friendly and knowledgable local staff are here ready to share our local experience with you.


The Mahjong is a Licensed Guesthouse (General) under Office of the Licensing Authority in Hong Kong.

Stayed for a week and had an amazing time. You can tell the Mahjong staff really care about the hostel from their attention to detail -- ambient music, board games, octopus cards that can be borrowed, towels that can be switched every 2 days. They created a special atmosphere that felt safe, comfortable, and super easy to socialize in. Met so many amazing people over couch chats or meals or drinks in the common room. Location is not super central, but there are tons of cheap and good eats around
