    First thing - our room was right next to the reception which is very small. The staff there were noisy, talking loud late at night and playing music, was hard to sleep like that, I could hear every word he was saying. Second - we got just very small towels, even smaller then a face towel, was extremely hard to work with and when we asked for another/bigger one we were told that there isn’t any. One of our beds were noisy and every move it made noise.

    It’s a good value for money, located in the best place, very easy to manage around. The room was small but enough, good air conditioner, shower was also great.

    * The toilet is in the room which would be OK but on top of that its door is translucent. Absolutely zero privacy. Please make it opaque. Not important to me but might throw off some guest: * The building is the epicenter of the red light district. Youl'll see hookers bring their clientele on a daily basis. * The hostel is clean but the building isn't. * Passenger elevators are used to move equipment throughiut the day. It takes forever to get to the 13th floor. * Lots of rude inconsiderate guests from the mainland talking loudly at 2 pm. * No windows.

    * The real Hong Kong experience. * Responsive staff. Things broke but were fixed the same day. * Super cheap for Hong Kong. * Good location with a public library just around the corner. * Met some cool people there. It's so cramped you can't not talk to people. * I personally really enjoyed the old school street karaoke nearby.

    The lift up to the property feels a bit grim - but it’s safe, so don’t be put off on the way up!

    Great location in Kowloon - 20 minute walk from China ferry and Kowloon West station. 2 minutes walk from Jordan metro station.

    I booked a bed in a dorm and it was actually a room I shared with another person. Ensuite bathroom, soap provided.. Very close to Temple street market. Owner available on whatsapp when not in reception. The building has a lift. Kettle available in reception. Bus to/from the airport is around the corner. Great price and conditions considering it's Hong Kong.

    I didn’t like the part that they requested some credit card data, I didn’t feel safe, so I paid when I got there.

    it’s close to a lot of places MTR, cafés, McDonald’s, Supermarket, the location is very convenient and the guys there were so kind, they also recommended some places to go, for backpackers, I really recommend!!

    I traveled extensively throughout Asia and this was by far the worst place I stayed in. Hong Kong is expensive, but that doesn't justify making a six bed dorm where just one bed could fit. It was not clean: the "bathroom" was mouldy and pretty disgusting, toilet paper just one day (out of 4) and you activate hot water using a button outside the toilet (and pretty much hidden), corridors cramped with rubbish and stuff from other travelers everywhere (of course there is no space). Bad smell everywhere. The building is VERY run down, I became very religious just by using that lift for 4 days. I could go on but I will stop here. I hope they will improve because Hong Kong is actually a great place to be.

    Well, the location is great and it is indeed a bed, luckily I was there just to sleep at night.

    They tried to offer me a bed at the top of the triple bunk bed without enough space to fit in. As in, less than an inch of head room. It was impossible to fit into.

    They at least were able to offer me a refund.
