I have to give 1 point to this Hostel because i cannot put 0! Arriving at the Hostel building we faced an unsafe place, full of people offering illegal things and even drugs. I believe there are illegal immigrants on this building, as when we arrived the building was closed in all the entrances by the police, and they were... More

We had booked another hotel on the same floor but were tricked by the staff intio believing their hostel was the right one. One of the owners claimed, when asked multiple times, that it was the right hostel. The receptionists acted as if they confirmed our booking through hostelworld and we payed for the first night. We were then awoken... More

I stayed here twice. First, when I was with my friend and it was just an overnight stay. That was March of 2012 and it was so cold and I'm so tired, I just enjoyed my sleep and then check out the next day to be with my other friend in their hotel. The second time I was in HK,... More

The old staff are very rude. They don't give new towels everyday and they don't change the beddings everyday. They don't have cabinets. The bathroom is very small. The towels and coverings have stains and holes and some smell very bad. Found in a building, not actually a big hotel. If you ask for assistance or for supplies they get... More

This was an one-and-only experience! The Hotel call itself also as "Tai Wan Hotel". They ask for 100 HK$ key deposit-keep the receipt or don't get the money back. To reach the room I needed to find first another tower entrance in this busting melting pot of cultures. The room was without window and small but with AC. The so... More
