Basic accommodation with thought to keeping the rooms tidy with plastic sheets on the walls and beds only requiring a sheet and pillow slip, and the tiny bathroom which works alright, overall good value and near to everything.close

The building itself was not very clean but once you're inside the Hongkong Budget Hostel it's extremely clean. One of the cleanest I've seen. Jacky Chan, the owner was extremely helpful as well. Its really a good cheap place to stay.

The hostel is in a very central location - near Mongkok Station. The room was barely big enough to turn around in, and I'm still in shock about the extremely tight space in the bathroom/shower/toilet. Very little character, and though the place was fairly clean, I wouldn't stay there again.

The location couldn't be better. Yes, it is in a rundown-looking area but it's perfect for budget tourists. It's less than 100m from the MTR (underground station); and also close to the Airport bus stop. It's right opposite the famous Ladies Market. Jackie is great, so is his cute chihuahua, Bo Bo. We had a twin room which was small but perfectly adequate. don't expect anything too flash and you will have a very enjoyable stay. Will definitely stay there again! And do try the food from the stall on the corner, and also the bakery just down the road.close

Of course the rooms are Small and even without Windows, no cubic centimeter wasted. But thats Hong Kong! What you get though is a very very clean place (They clean the shower and toilet several times a day) with free wifi and a friendly host who is always freindly and ready to answer questions. The best part is the location, right in the middle of Mong Kok you'll find the true HK with crawly streets, Neon signs and millions of different local stlye restaurants.close
