It is very "Hong Kong style" hostel. Is located in old, traditional and of course very tall building, nearby Nathan Road with good conection to all city. Disadvantage of the hostel are very small rooms and mine didn't have even a window! In spite of that it is a good hostel.
would be hard to get anything better than this i guess in hk.stanley and his family does a good job,very nice and helpful people.rooms are a bit smaller like everywhere for that price in hk and i would insist on a room with a window
for first time visitor, it is quite difficult to find the place since it has no big board or decent sign around it. the environment around the hostel a bit terrible because it's an old apartment. but once you get in, you'll surprise to find clean room with the free wi-fi on it. the recepsionist on duty is the only staff there, but they're informative so you can also ask them for direction. you can find ladies market near the building (< 3mins walk), and mtr mong kok station can reach after 10mins walk. this place is recommended for budget traveler ;)
Not a hostel in the normal sense of the term - you'll be lucky if you get to meet other non-Chinese travellers! However, this is not unusual in Hong Kong. Rooms are very basic and there were noise issues at night. The WiFi didn't work in my room but the staff were not interested. Got the general impression that all the hostel wanted was my money and had no interest in giving a good service. Incidentally they over charged me for my room! Would recommend one of the other hostels or guesthouses within the same building. Incidentally be aware that I have heard that Dragon Hostel and Hong Kong Budget Hostel are connected.
Since we were on a budget and planning to stay out most of the time we booked this hostel based on reviews. The rooms are really small as stated before and the bathroom very, very small.It is clean and comfortable though. We actually had a room that could fit 5 people. There were two single beds (narrow but ok), and a bunk bed where the bottom part is a double bed. WE were four, two adults and two children. The beds are high enough to you can keep suitcases out of the way, there was a little desk with a drawer, a TV on the corner ( not many channels in English), our remote control did not work but we could use it manually. The bathroom is small but well built in a way that all the water goes straight to the back , there is a small sink and hand shower. The support was not so nice as the water goes straight to the wall but one can manage it. There is a towel rack and in the room many clothes hangers. The Wi-fi connection in our room was not that great, so we had to use the computer most of the times at the reception. They also have two computers for guests to use. They also provide laundry for 40HK, for about 3kg, washed and dried but not pressed. There is a fridge that guests can use and also hot water and cold ( which was not cold at all) water. We used the fridge a lot as we had our breakfast most of the times in the room. We bought instant coffee, milk, cereal, some bread at a supermarket and would buy few other things at 7eleven and fresh baked bread in nearby bakeries in the morning. The hostel is at Sincere house but both entrances are not exactly at Argyle street, but on both roads on the sides. MTR station is very close. We liked our time there, if we knew we would have spend so much time at the room ( typhoon Vicente) we would have preferred a place with more space, but for people backpacking or as a place to sleep it is nice and convenient.
