For HK this place is grand. You're not gonna meet people here but if you need a clean comfortable room (air con works, shower was grand and they gave us a huge bottle of water to keep in the fridge) in a very central location then this place will suit ya.

IT is not very bad as it has good location and relative better security and staff. However, some insects whhich like small bugs are probably on your sheet. so pls be careful! good luck to ur journey.

very , very basic but good location. A bit hard to find if arriving at night time. Not for the solo traveller who wants to have a chat with other travellers...more for someone who is only looking for a place to sleep.

Excellent, clean and friendly. Could not get a better location in the heart of Hong Kong and very reasonably priced and a great amount of privacy. Will stay again.

This place was very clean although the building itself is pretty dilapidated. Location is excellent, two minute walk to MTR. Would reccomend it to people!

I was upgraded to a room with a bathroom. Room was nice and clean, but no windows. The toilet didn't work, had to throw a bucket of water down it to flush. I would stay there again.

Nice hostel, and really freindly owners. Just outside the hostel you can get the metro (Mongkok Station) to everywhere in Hong Kong. And bus stop for bus 21A, is close to the hostel. Great place.

Staff can sometimes appear unhelpful. There was this guy who lost his important belongings but the staff appeared defensive and unwilling to help.

The elevator sucks, because it´s sometimes not available because of too much people or too much people bringing their stuff with them. Lots of working is going on in that building. But finally I would recommend the Hostel, because I liked it really. Saludosclose

It is also very near to the flower maket and ladies street. There are many restaurants and shops beside the hostel. Just the building is quite old..close

This place is OK, nothing special. negative side it's in a pretty run down old building which is difficult to find. Also only 1 shared toilet and shower which is tiny. Rooms are very small. Postives are the rooms are air conditioned, clean, and close walking distance to Mong Kok station.

Lovely staff, English not perfect but 10/10 for effort. The place does really need some tourist information in English. Rooms really nice, spotlessly clean, good location for markets and metro

A very comfortable stay. The staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I was made very welcome and it was a clean, quite place where I could get lots of sleep if I wanted! I would recommend paying a bit more for a room with a window in the monsoon/summer months because the air-con...

Really clean (I don't know many other hostels that will clean up the room for you on a daily basis like they do), comfortable and in an excellent location, near lots of shopping districts. The owners are very friendly and helpful and all the amenities they advertise on the site are readily...

a very neat, hospitable hostel. the location (mongkok) is absolutely great and the staff was more than helpful and friendly. the sincere house is far more pleasant and relaxed and definitely less obtrusive than the mirador mansion. and above all, you get what you have booked. i would stay there...

Good little place to rest the head at night, there is a metro 1 minute walk from the hostel that can bring you to the centre of HK in a matter of minutes. I would stay there again as it is clean and accessible

A good place to stay. Handy location near the MRT. Clean small rooms with not much character but the staff are nice and friendly (limited English, but then my Cantonese is non-existent). A good value base for exploring the city.

Tiny but clean rooms. If you're over 5ft 5" the bed will be short for you. Good location. The staff don't speak English so confusion reigns, and you can't get information on HK.
