Liked: The building was safe and secure. The door to the building was password protected and there was a security guard when you enter the building. There were no long queues for the lift. The location was excellent; it was near a MTR station and a supermarket.

Disliked: The walls in my room were visually dirty, making the entire room feel dirty. The walls are also paper thin; I could hear the plumbing/water running of the room next to me. Guests are apparently allowed to smoke in their rooms and since the rooms are so close together, I could smell the smoke from my room. Pissed me off. Smokers and non-smokers are placed in the same area. There needs to be some sort of separation of the two.

Liked: Clean. My room was clean and in overall OK condition. good location meaning located directly next to Causeway Bay MTR.

Disliked: Staff speaks poor English. As long as you have no complaints, good. I had a little bit of an argument with some staff which was ended by the fact that there is a language barrier that simply couldn't be overcome and the staff leaving the room referring to her Boss who should be around later. well...

Liked: Sun Kong Hostel a very good located hostel, just two steps from the subway exit. Location is great and even though the staff speak poor English, they are still kind.

Disliked: For everybody who is looking for "hostel" in Hong Kong, please do not expect much. When it comes to hostel Hong Kong has only "high priced low quality" places to offer if you compare to european hostels standards. Sung Kong so as other hostels in Hong Kong offers only tiny rooms, clened poorly everyday. Based on other places such as hostels in "Chung King Mansion" (a place everybody should stay away from), I recoommend a few days stay in Sun Kong, it offers a great location in a very nice area.

Liked: the location, the sheets were fresh and clean

Disliked: The walls are grubby, the sink leaked, the common area is cluttered with toilet rolls, with a little care this place could be a great small level hostel but they know we have little choice!

10 November 2010 Linda would recommend this property

Liked: The location is great. The water pressure as well. Internet is provided in the hotel lobby but the space is tight there. Fridge and water are available

Disliked: The first night we spent in a room in another building, the toilet flush was not working and it was noisy - make sure you stay in the main building. The only person who speaks English is really unfriendly, the rest of the personal will simply not understand you. In the lift is stated that commercial use of flats is not allowed above 2nd floor and Sun Kong is in F 5/6. The provided shower gel was moldy.

Liked: A typical budget hostel - nothing out of this world but clean and much safer than in Chunking Mansion . The location is perfect - it's just next to the subway entrance

Disliked: The corridors of the building are covered with the warnings of the Neighbours' Commmitee saying that it's illegal to open a hostel above 2nd floor 9/k is on the 5th & 6th) and the guests stay in those hostels on their own responsibility. That makes you feel uncomfortable. Other thing is that the staff doesn't speak English.

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: I arrived at the hostel to find that my reservation had been cancelled without notice. I was then charged for three nights where I spent the first night sleeping on someones sofa (not bed) in the lounge in a noisy house full of people with no privacy. The next day I was transfered to the room I had booked. I stayed there for three nights. During the third night i was woken in the middle of the night and asked for more money. The next day I paid for one more night in the room. So I actually paid one night full room rate for staying on a dirty sofa. DO NOT STAY HERE!
