In residential side and secured. Price is good. Spotless on tiled floor and walls. Bathroom adequate. Would be nice if towels were in room instead of paying deposit of $50 for each from check in desk. Amy and Kam at front desk excellent. Everything closed by,transports,shops and eating places.

Reasonable choice but noisy
The room ,toilet and bed are clean. Hostel staffs are not friendly but helpful enough..so no problem to communicate with them. I feel very safe while i stay alone. One night, drunken guest trief to open my room door so many times, but door was locked well. Great location surrounded by market, MTR station and many shops. There are many people on the street over midnight. Just....it was so noisy whole night from cars,motor cycle and noisy people on the street. I could listen everything through windows. That bothered my rest and sleep quite much.

Hidden bargain of causeway bay
This is my second time staying here. There's not much to say about this place. For the area, it is a great deal. Clean private rooms in the heart of the city. I stay here when I am applying for my Chinese work visa which is a 15 minute walk from the hostel. Staff is incredibly friendly. Got a free upgrade to a slightly larger room. Room is very clean. Sheets looked brand new and the bathroom exceeded my expectations. Please remember that this is a hostel and not a 3 star hotel. Wifi was reliable and is fast enough. I don't know why other guests wrote that the area is dangerous. It is super safe and police are everywhere. The only thing that is worth mentioning is this hostel charges 7 Hong Kong dollars to make a single copy using their multi function printer. The Chinese visa office charges 2 HKD, which is still relatively expensive. I hope they change the policy on this as that price is extortionate. Travel all the time and I've never heard of such policies. Will be staying again in the future.

Great location, budget accommodation.
Top Tip: The entrance is beside the Aesop store on the street. Firstly, the location is fantastic. Good shops, public transport, convenience stores, supermarket, restaurants. Absolutely no complains in this aspect. BUT. You get what you pay for. If you are expecting budget accommodation at a budget price, look no further. We took a twin room. It was in an old apartment building on top of fancy shops at the ground floor, unit allocated to us was on a separate floor from the reception. Security was good, but that's about it. Rppm was very cramped, deposit required for towels (fully refundable upon returning the towels at check-out), very old, but clean. Bed was basically wood boards nailed together with a sufficiently-comfortable mattress atop. Air-condition worked but was very noisy as it was very old. Toilet was what you would expect in an old Hong Kong public housing flat, but clean. Free wifi which worked fine. Snacks and drinks available at the reception on Level 3.

Really basic solution in good location
It's OK for a few days as it is conveniently located but there is much that could be improved although you probably wouldn't know where to start. This is Hong Kong and there is no limit to how shabby something could be, this hostel stands in the middle as there is worse and on its side it's fair to say that it is not unclean. A/C wasn't really working well, the rooms are super basic, the toilet in the room couldn't be closed, there is not even a simple hanger if you are taking a shower and want to put down stuffs, the sofa in the "common area" outside the room stinks and has stains dating probably some decade ago. The staff is nice and it was fun that first thing when I arrived, before seeing the rooms, they ensured guests know that it's not refundable. Overall it's still OK if are looking for a cheap solution and you use it only to sleep and stay out all the day.

Clean, Convenient, Close to Shops etc, Cheap!
So easy to find!! Short walk from Causeway Bay Subway station. Great 'Wellcome' supermarket across the road (very convenient!!) Received a bottle of water and a towel on arrival (she did ask for a deposit, but I told her that the website said 'no deposit' and she said ok). Kettle in the room. Shampoo and body wash in the bathroom. No noise issues (maybe I was there off-peak???). Easy to get to airport on the A11 bus (40HKD). Will happily stay there again.

Hostel near the Causeway subway.
Located a 3 minute walk to the subway. The main office has no signage for the hostel on the door of the building. $HK100 deposit for the key and $HK20 for the towel. The dorm is located in a different building down the street. The inconvience was my rented towel was taken by the cleaner everyday which forced me to walk back to the main building to request a new towel. Good comforter for the bed. Hot water in the shower.

The bad part is that when I arrived, my name was not listed on the reservation and they had no room for me the first night. They put me up in a nasty 1 bedroom in a separate building, the size of a closet with no window and the mattress was hard, the nearest bathroom did not have a mirror. At least I was able to take a hot shower. The next 2 nights they provided a much nicer private room with nice furnishings, private bathroom and a nice size TV. The bad part again is that they would not refund me for the 1st night. They only gave me 100 Hong Kong dollars which is about 15 USD, not what I paid for which was around 55 USD. I probably would not stay here again, considering they did not even have my name listed on the reservation. Really bad.

Great location
I booked this place for 2 of my friends who only decided to visit HK @ last minute to attend a exhibition @ Wanchai exhibition center, n is only about 2 bus stops away. Many eateries around from budget to high ends so are d shoppings. Buses going all over HK including cross tunnel buses to different part of Kowloon d stops are within few minutes walk so are the cross tunnel taxis. Very near to Excelsior Hotel for taking d free shuttle bus to HK station for city center to check in b4 taking d speed train to airport. BUT bear in mind that this is a BUDGET accommodation so the room is just basic, space is sufficient for 2-3 pax to move around. Not for light sleeper though becos there are loud noise from loading trucks throuhout the night!

Communication difficulties
Hotels.com claim that you can message the hostel, but the hostel ignored/didn't get my message that I would be arriving one day late, and let my PRE-PAID room go to someone else. After a lot of stress, they put me in an inferior room in another hostel for a few days before transferring me back. The location is very noisy, with work outside starting around 6am.

Get what you pay for - Pretty decent
A very bizarre layout its like flats split into smaller rooms, They were perfectly clean and serviceable but spread over different buildings in different locations its the reception and private rooms that are in the address of the hotel. The hotel did have some problems though and one of the biggest was the language barrier the english was quite poor although we did manage eventually, we also had 5 cockroaches in the time we were there and when we told the staff we were told that they knew about it and all they could do was spray the room. We opted to buy our own spray from Wellcome accross the road and never seen one since. The cleaning is a bit sporadic as in they just appear at a random time but for the money cheap and good.

Best location...ever !
The lovely young boss lady was typically helpful; HMV now across the road too. HK Hostel is solid and unpretentious, isn't a 5 star palace & doesn't pretend to be. I had a single room with own bathroom; ample space for one & will certainly be staying there again. For novice HK visitors, yes the shower will get the toilet wet because space is always an issue in HK, so get over it ( isn't a big deal once you get used to it ).

Need to keep in mind it's a hostel not a hotel. First night was in room in different building, remaining nights in hostel proper. Thought the hostel proper room was fine-appropriate for price but found and killed 2 cockroaches on last night (might have been my own fault as I'd left my door ajar a few hours by mistake (

Worth the price
Nice place for the price. Room was clean but a little cramped. It was only my wife and I staying. We ended up getting a room with a full and twin bed. Had we of gotten a room with just the full size bed. It would have been better. Room was Clean and comfortable Mattress to sleep on. Was a little surprised about having to put a deposit on the room key and towels of $140.00 H.K. dollars. That wasn't mentioned when I booked the room. If I return to Hong Kong I would stay here again. Great location and definitely affordable. Good hospitality by employees.

Nice neighborhood with easy access to MTR. Quick train or cheap taxi from all of the party areas and easy access to sightseeing. Lots of young foreigners so it's easy to find travel companions and party mates at this hostel. Overall great place for the money.
