Liked: this property is not a bad as many posts and its own write up make out, yes its a litle grotty, but its no worse than anywhere else in chunken / mirador mansion and the rooms were a good size and relatively clean. for the money you would struggle to do better in HK as HK is simply not a great place to hostel

Disliked: no character and no common room to meet people - however no hostels in HK have either of these features!

Liked: Due to the real estate value in Kowloon area, the charge for the hostel is acceptable.

Disliked: There`s no mirror in the whole hostel and the privat twin rooms are extremely small and without window - it might be more comfortable to rent a shared room!

Liked: Location

Disliked: The rude and unhelpfulness of staff, We booked and paid the deposit for a double ensuite room but was actually given a twin room with shared facilities and then charged the price of the room we originally booked. When we showed the lady on reception our email booking confirmation to prove we had booked a double ensuite she "accidently" deleted the email! The shared bathrooms were disgusting and only 1 out of three toilets worked and there was no hot water even though it was advertised.

07 February 2010

Liked: The good thing about this hostel was the location. I booked a 12 bed dorm but then the owners warned me that this dorm had no lock and the people there weren´t very trustworthy so they offered me a 6 bed dorm with a lock and Europeans only for an increased price (was I ripped off?). The dorm was VERY basic – a bed + a table and a couple of chairs + only 1 plug for 6 people + no lamps + no lockers to keep your valuables in. The showers were squeezed in tiny toilet rooms so that you could hardly move around and the washbasins were poorly installed. However, if you want to experience Hong Kong with not only its luxury but also its cosmopolitan mayhem, this is the place for you.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
