Reviews of Rent-a-Room Hong Kong

06 January 2012 Ivy would recommend this property

Liked: Very convenient location, just beside MTR station. Also in the heart of shopping area in Jordan. Easily can find nice yummy food just opposite of the hostel in Po Lin street.. MTR has convenient outlets to grab a drink or a bite e.g. Mei Xin snacks.

Disliked: Nothing that I dislike.

Liked: Nothing.

Disliked: The room stank of stale cooking and the bed was tiny (even though a double) and horribly uncomfortable. The shower took ages to heat water and then was only hot for about 2 minutes. The staff messed me around when I tried to book directly through them, first claiming there was a room and then when I tried to pay telling me there wasn't. Thomas Tang's English is so bad that if you ask to extend your stay by email he will think you're trying to cancel and react accordingly. I was repeatedly woken by locals preparing food and cooking in the early hours of the morning, all of which contributed to the smelliness of the room, which also made my clothes and luggage stink too. When I enquired about cancelling my remaining reservation I was told there would be no charge but when I did cancel I was charged £40 (or 1 night's stay) for the privilege. Most things could be overlooked but the impossibly uncomfortable bed, the lingering stale smell of cooking, and being woken repeatedly through the night made my stay insufferable.

Liked: Great place for your stay!! More like a hotel than a hostel, with free towel and hairdryer on rental, tv in the room and free cold/hot water to make a tee or coffee! Location is also great, 15 mins on foot to ferry terminal to Macau, subway around the corner and a nice walk to the Avenue of Stars. Plus a great staff! Would love to return again!!!

Liked: It is clean, safe and secure. The host is friendly and helpful. The room is basic and at the price it is acceptable, but any increase would take it out of that category.

02 June 2008 Dennis would recommend this property

Liked: It is just 100 meters from the Subwaystation and the Bus to the Airport Nr. A 21 also stops there. It is very convinient to just catch the bus from the Airport which is cheaper than a taxi and much easier than going by train.

14 February 2008 ronny would recommend this property

Liked: the rooms are small but nice. i had a double room with fridge, tv, phone and private bath so pretty much everything you could wish for. the thing missing is a common area where you can meet other travelers so its a bit of a struggle if you're there on your own.

03 February 2008 Jean-CharleS would recommend this property

Liked: if you want to save money but still have a decent bed, that's the place. You can also upgrade and share a room with someone you've just met in the dormitory that you get on with. It would cost you a bit more but much nicer. The cheapest I paid in the dormitory was HK$160

Disliked: Jean-CharleS left no negative feedback.

20 January 2008 Victoria would recommend this property

Liked: We had our own room, so clean, with everything you need from a bar fridge, tv, safe, working ensuite to a kettle with complimentary coffee/tea. Its right in the heart of Kowloon, literally round the corner from the famous Nathan Road. It's an easy walk to Temple street night markets, gold fish and ladies markets, as well as great Mong Kok eating and only a short walk to the Ferry terminals.
