    Your wifi not working. It is just fortunate that I live here in Hong Kong and I was able to provide my family with internet.

    Good location and good access to everything I need.

    It is in a great location and close to the metro system…literally a block away. The room is clean. The mattress is on the firm side which I like. I had a great sleep. At night it was quiet (no neighbors being noisy or street loud noise). In the morning and afternoon if you want to nap you can close the window and put AC as white noise since there is construction going on 1-2 blocks away. The room may be small for people that are used to standard rooms in the USA, but if you want to find something affordable then this is the place. If you don’t have towels in the room just ask the front desk. Hair drier for example is a shared item so it is found outside the room, you just have to return it after use. To turn on the AC you have to switch it on (the switch is just outside next to the room door), if you want hot water for shower you have to switch on the heater (switch next to the bathroom door and allow 10-15 min to heat). The right elevator goes to the 11th floor. The elevator on the right goes to odd number floors. Great stay, I would stay there again!!

    The room was small for the price paid but as long as you don’t have too much luggage it was fine.

    The host was lovely and very friendly and helpful! The room was spotlessly clean and the TV had some great English language channels. Also a great location with a small 7 11 opposite and a great dim sum restaurant 2 minutes away plus Mongkok MTR station also 2 minutes away and 3 minutes from the Airport A21 Argyle Centre bus stop.

    The place is what you pay for, it’s cheap but cheerful. A bit confusing to find at first but it has everything you need, a bit dated but for what you pay it’s great, especially in Hong Kong

    It's just a bed after all. Elevators don't have an up button and they often close elevators so we need to walk to the other side of the building. Elevators in these buildings only serve every other floor for some reason.

    For the low price, it's slightly better than other choices in the area. Friendly receptionist lady who's very helpful. Wifi is good. Water provided.

    Uncomfortable bathroom, building has only 1 elevator (for odd floors) and often had to wait several minutes for it. Also, I asked the staff not to enter the room when we weren’t there (for cleaning purposes), but a couple days later somebody came in to tidy the bed and throw the garbage. It made us a little uneasy. I think it’s miscommunication between the staff, but still I think it shouldn’t happen.

    Amazing location, comfortable bed, relatively good price

    Only one lift servicing guests.

    The location is accessible to food, MTR, and street markets. The room, although small, is clean and tidy. The owner is accomodating. Would highly recommend if you're not picky and just looking for a place to sleep after a walking the streets of HK.

    Housing in Hongkong is expensive. So we had a quite nice expirience, here at Johnson Hostel. Our bank bed room had a window and a own bathroom. It was on the 5th floor, which was kind of convienient because one of the elevators was broken and there was often a huge line or long waiting time for it. So ww used the stairs which is no big deal in the 5th floor. The room and the bath facillity was clean and equipped with everything necessary.
