Miss Kim is an angel!! she's a really lovely friendly lady! the hostel is nice but not very social- in a good location once you get over the touts in the foyer... just ignore them or say "NO THANKYOU!!" so they get the message. Very easy location to get to places and very very clean.

Tiny room with just enough space for two people to stand when not on the bed. Shower/Toilet is in room but you literally have to be sitting on the toilet in order to shower. Extremely small room but I guess that's what you can expect at this price in central HK.

Overall, excellent quality for price. Yes the elevators are crowded, but with patience, you will get through. Only negative was that the power was shut off for repairs one night from 12AM to 4AM, and the alarm which alerts you to the power outage was blaring for the duration.close

Great place to stay at, extremely clean, and friendly, would recommend to anyone. Only downfall is that there is no real common room to meet any other travels. Good value, and newly renovated rooms. Mini fridge and exhaust fan comes in handy in humid hong kong.

Be careful when booking accommodation online as the size of the rooms are VERY small. I originally booked a single with a self contained bathroom and it was 2 square metres total! I was able to pay more for a larger room when I arrived but still disappointed with the original experience.
