Full credit to Raymond! First room was small, but what you would expect for the price. When mentioned Raymond obliged and changed rooms for me when one was available. Would stay again.

Very simple and the beds were a little hard but absolutely fantastic for the price. Perfect for a stay if you prefer to spend your money on the markets and shops rather than accommodation and just need a bed to rest on and a bathroom. Raymond is a gem - so helpful and friendly.

It's located really conveniently - right next to the MTR and a couple of minutes walk from the harbour. We will definitely stay again on our next visit.close

Raymond the owner was very friendly, helpful and knowledgable. The hostel was very basic but extremely clean and just what you want when you only need a place to rest your head after a day of sightseeing!

Was nice except we got one double bed instead of two twins (not as comfortable for two sisters that are both taller than 5'8". Raymond was VERY helpful, except we only booked one night in case it was crap...then he was booked the rest of the week so we had to find another place to stay anyway!

The owner of the hostel is very nice however this was not the right place for us. The bed was very hard and the bathroom although clean was small and everything was all in one room (shower, toilet, sink) without any division. After staying one night, we decided to move to a hotel next door.

This is guest house where people get individual bedrooms and share a bathroom. The caretaker, Raymond is friendly and helpful. The location cannot be beat; on Nathan Rd right next to the MTR Subway station entrance. There is daily maid service to empty the trash in your room. There is free wifi.

As for Yiu Fai, it is a place with reasonable price and excellent location. It takes only 10 sec. for MTR, 5 mins for Habour City Mall, 7-8 mins for Ave. of the Stars. However, I recommend you other place, if you want enough space and a view. It was a tiny room with a double bed and a bathroom... more As for Yiu Fai, it is a place with reasonable price and excellent location.

I don't think so.close

I thought they were fantastic: helpful with directions, smiled a lot, friendly. The food was simple and comforting, perfect for a new arrival to China. They booked a great tour to the Wall for me and I really had an excellent time. I was glad to stay there and would do so again. Any time!

We loved the staff and you will not find a better location. Our room was compact but big enough and very clean. Hot water and a/c are both 24hrs. We would definately stay here again. Many thanks!

A good value for the money. It is in a busy tourist area, but the location is great for the subway and taking the ferries as well as many museums. Our host was very nice and kind. No common areas, so no interaction with other backpackers.

Location on Nathan's road is truly perfect (next to the Tsim Sha Tsui station on THE major HK subway line). Comfort is so-so (no windows), but I guess it's the problem of any cheap accomodation in this area (buildings are designed in this way).

For location and sheer access this Hostel gets a Gold star. Once you get past all the sales touts and pushy suit sellers, then this little gem comes into its own. Only minutes from all means of transport to and from Hong Kong Island. And the Kowloon Park is geat to get away from the bustle....

Good enough place if you are just looking for a place to lay your head, though there was a lot of street noise (sadly fairly unavoidable in HK).

What an amazing place. Great staff, perfect location along with clean rooms and facilities. Free internet for those traveling with PC's, or many internet cafe's in the area. Given it's location, suprisingly quiet too. A strong recommendation.
