Reviews of Ah Shan Hostel

15 February 2012 SHU CHENG would recommend this property

Liked: It's located in the heart of the Mong Kok area,you can shop and buy around the area of Tung Choi street,especially women accesories and clothes.This street is just located opposite the hostel only.It's very convenient.Besides,you can buy branded sports shoes and clothes at Fa Yuen street.You can find electonic gadgets in Sai Yeung Choi Street South.You will never get hungry at Mong Kok since many restaurants and small food stall selling local delicacy here.

Disliked: I just dislike the toilet as it is small but still can be used so far.

Liked: Friendly Staff helped me find my room. Wifi is fairly good and atleast the windows can open and the air con works almost well enough. Free Hot and cool water is great to keep hydrated or just for a cuppa/soup. Just over the road from markets (absolute prime position to buy some tacky goods) I bought a decent second hand digital camera for 45 pounds(Although I've been told not to buy first hand good stuff here instead buy at home)

Disliked: Beds aren't the greatest but you're not paying top of the range. And the computers they have are slow. Get better directions on Hostelworld but once you get to the building and on to the 14th floor its easy to find...Ask the locals they speak english and know the place.

14 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location is good...2 mins walk to Wong Kok MTR...but the street and this MTR can get very crowded in rush hour and the weekends. Need to plan ahead if you wanna get to your destinations on time.

Disliked: The drain in the toilet was leaking so the floor was covered by dirty water once someone used the washroom...discusting at times. No body came in to fix it. The street can be very noizy at night, so need to use earplugs if you'd like to have a good night sleep. Room is small, you barely have place to leave your laggages.

19 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location, cleanliness and security.

Disliked: Didn't provide many extras beyond the room itself and despite notifying the hostel that my colleagues and I would be arriving late due to our flight arrival time, we were treated with disgruntled annoyance at the time of our arrival. Not very welcoming.

11 October 2011

Disliked: The room had no window and the shower was over the toilet. The room was tiny and the building needed a good clean.

Disliked: lift matter........

02 October 2011 Richard would recommend this property

Liked: for Hong Kong (and Chinese) conditions was it very clean, even surprisigly clean. And the biggest shock - the rooms were not as small as possible with the most bed as possible, but very normal with western standards. Who knows better Hong Kong hostels knows, that every almost room there is small and packed till roof. This room (dorm 4 people) was standard big and the common room was big. The waiting time for elevators was also very nice, almost immediately there was a free elevator for you. The staff is great, they tell you everything with smile, even things they don´t really should to. For next time in HK I will choose only this hostel from now on.

Disliked: Just the "warm water" in the common shower was not warm at all.

02 October 2011

Disliked: Utterly mini room.

07 September 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Pretty good location which centered in Mongkok Town with only 5 minutes walking distance from MTR station, friendly and helpful staffs with informative messages delivered, clean environment to stay.

Disliked: Only 1 item: slowness & tininess of the lift to hostel

05 September 2011

Liked: Friendliness of the lady boss.

Disliked: The service by staffs and uncomfortable location

05 September 2011

Liked: Clean and centrally located next to subway.

Disliked: Probably its normal in Hong Kong, but I found this a really bad hostel. The room was super small and the bathroom was just a toilet with a shower on top of it. Horrible building in a horribly overpopulated neighboorhood. No windows in the room and in the rest of the apartment. If something would happen, you are completely stuck. The hostels seems to have different apartments in this huge building, without any commun area, so meeting other people is pretty difficult. Also you don't have a lot of contact with the staff if you are not staying in the main apartment.

Liked: convenient

Disliked: small but it's hk so what can you expect

15 August 2011

Liked: Friendliness of the staff

Disliked: I do not share the other excellent comments here : -the metro is very close but MongKok not a good area to stay in HK (my friends there told me you could find hostels in Central or Causebay, much better); -old and unclean building; elevator that you always wait for 5-10 minutes; -no good wi-fi connection; -smallest rooms I've ever seen in 6 months around the world (the shower is litterally above toilets, and no place for your bags in the room) The staff is agin very nice so that helps when you arrive to accept all the above but still...we were very happy to leave !

08 August 2011 Karine would recommend this property

Liked: In Hong Kong, it is hard to find a hostel, but this place is very nice and cheap, in a good area.

Disliked: Of course, I would love a chilling place, a loft and a bar, but it seems like these kinds of hostel are not popular in HK, so overall, it is very good. Thanks!
