    The owner should be around or check the rooms (such as the one I stayed in) for any maintenance needed. Because it's not the employees responsibility to fix air conditioning or broken fixtures. Or things left unfixed. They will have to deal with unhappy guests or bad reviews. My room was fine but needed some maintenance and I would have preferred another room if one had been available.

    One of the places I like stay when I visit HK, for location, and ease of stay. Quiet at night and direct bus to and from airport.

    The bathroom door lock was just using a band to keep it shut and not a proper lock which could be improved For some reason a review was written for this hostel already by my account apparently giving it a 10/10 which I did not write, not sure how that happened

    A great location, room is of course very cramped but to be expected. Given it’s the cheapest place I could find in HK I think it’s fine!

    As expected for HK: the space is so tiny and the building is very very very old. I was in a small room (maybe 10sqm) with 2 bunks bed of 3 levels (total of 6 travellers in the room).

    Great location - easy access to HK/Airport The location is very great. Between Yau Ma Tei and Jordan MTR. There are also a lot of bus stops that can bring you pretty much everywhere, including day bus (A21) and Night bus (N21) to and from the airport. Hostel is in a very busy and dynamic area for shopping and eating. There are tons of restaurants, shopping options, Temple Street and a fresh fruits/veggies market! Take the MTR and you get to Central HK in less than 15min. You can also easily walk or take a bus to admire the Symphony of Lights from here.

    It was a little difficult to find it because is is in a big building and not very clear indications of where you have to go . Also the rooms where very small. But i guess it is standard for Hong kong

    Itt is a good area, close to many restaurants and also close to the metro so it makes easy to move around. Also i lke that it is in a neighbourhood enviroment where also normal people live.

    The lights were a bit confusing, and the beds had no curtain to help with privacy. This meant it's easy to wake people up. The size was not very big, and the bathroom was super tiny. The wifi cut out for a while on my last night. There were bugs on the walls but no zapper in sight.

    The staff were good and clear. The location is ideal. The facility had everything needed if you need to purchase items like toothbrush etc. The wifi was generally good. The price for the location was good. There is a 711 nearby and temple street too!

    The upper bunk has too little space and no cover at all which makes it uncomfortable in terms of privacy as well as disturbing if someone turn on lights. In addition it is little difficult to locate the reception as there is no sign or anything.

    Have individual toilet in every rooms, the lower and middle bunk has cover that provides better privacy.

    Space is limited in the room, as well as in the tiny bathroom. No issue if you can shower elsewhere in town, travel with hand luggage, and you just need a bed.

    Good location and connections from Jordan, compensating for the lack of space, comfort and amenities. Beds are small but clean enough, the lower beds come with excellent privacy curtains. The guests were observant of dorm etiquette, compensating well for the high occupancy.

    Facilities basic. Dorms and bathrooms small but not unusual for Hong Kong where space is limited.

    Great location convenient for getting to any part of Hong Kong, all transportation nearby, also dining, shopping, Tin Hau temple, many night markets - within walking distance. You can even get your fortune told by a bird at the temple square. Very lively atmosphere at night. It’s particularly enjoyable to have dinner outdoors at one of the small restaurants on Temple Street a couple of blocks away. Grace does a great job and is quite helpful. Room and dorm prices are on the low end for Hong Kong. Good option.

    This doesnt seem to be under the control of the hostel, but worth mentioning. The elevator felt like a cable car going up. Dont move when the elevator is moving, stay still. there are residents using the building/elevator as well so it should be safe. walls of elevators are not properly walled up like normal elevators, but rather has plastic coverings. some even had 2x2 wood as wall support. bricks or broken cement are carried on wheel borrows and brought down the elevator as well as there was a construction during my stay. owner/staff may transfer your stuff from one bed/room to another bed/room if the situation calls for it even if you're not there. i believe there were 10 backpackers who came in so they had to transfer my stuff while i was out. you will share a bed out of 2, 3 layered bunk beds which totals to 6 guests per room(as seen in pics), each bed has curtains to give some privacy, top bunk doesnt have curtains anymore. top bunk will have the direct cold wind energy of the airconditioning as well, freezing you into ice cold meat to be defrosted in the morning. even if you're at the middle and bottom bunk you'd still be cold. 1 toilet/shower per room, which is actually pretty clean. 1st room i was in had heater, i was at the bottom bunk 2nd room i was in, i was in the middle bunk, shower didnt have heater, and toilet had a uncovered water closet so you'd have to dunk your fingers in water just to flush the toilet may it be no.1 or 2. you can still come over the 1st room if the toilet is vacant internet was slow my family members was able to book at 'cebu hostel' i suggest you book there instead but didnt have heater and my sister's husband says it smells, if not, cultural crashpad is the next cheapest thing.

    The cultural crashpad It may say 13th floor in booking.com but the actual reception area is in 7th floor, then you'd have to go back to 13th floor to actually check in. Just google lens the instructions in the 13th floor door so that you'd know what to do. you can check in exactly 2pm. you can leave your stuff there if you come to HK early prepare to feel like you're in a Jackie Chan movie in a local catch scene, it was bare and the real taste of the hongkong culture.
