Review of Dragon Hostel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 31 Oct 2018
We stayed here in our second, third and fourth (last) nights in Hong Kong. My cousin and I stayed for the first time in a hostel and the rate for our 3-nights' stay which is equivalent to 12,000 in Philippine pesos is a-ok considering the strategic location of the place --- which is just a stone's throw away to the shopping area in Mongkok and a good walk to Mongkok MTR Station. Navigating around Hong Kong is easy as a pie when you use the Octopus card -- you just top it up every time the remaining balance becomes insufficient. Back to Dragon, the person behind the counter when we checked in was very accommodating -- though stiff, maybe due to the language/communication barrier (but he speaks or enunciates the English words okay), he politely guided us to our room and motioned around pointing to the light switches, the bath/toilet room, kettle pot, water dispenser, etcetera. He was very helpful. Regarding our room, I wasn't at all shocked (but slightly surprised that indeed that kind of set-up existed) that it was windowless (anyhow thank goodness that it has an air vent and a nice running air conditioner) since I have read reviews from past travellers. What I also liked about the Sincere Building where the hostel is, is that it has a security guard downstairs 24/7. I truly recommend this place to backpackers, adventurers and no fuss travel bugs. Enjoy!

Dragon Hostel, a.k.a. Sincere Hostel. I stayed with my family for 4 nights 2 years ago, and again, another 4 nights in Sept, 2018. The first impression when you stepped into your room is that it is very tiny, and enclosed. Do not be deceived by the size though, as from the 2nd day onward, you will feel that the stay is very comfortable and atmosphere is warm. The staff are friendly. The room, toilet, bed-sheets, pillow covers and blankets are clean. You can use the common bathroom if you so wish. Hot fresh water are available from the common area. The cleaner, Jenny, is a very warm and friendly lady. She makes our stay extra comfortable and is ever ready to help answer any questions you may have about the places of interests that you may wish to visit. The hotel is strategically located right in the middle of the shopping belt, with the night markets just a stone throw away. I will choose to stay in this hotel again for my next visit.

Note: Toiletries & bath towels are not provided. Hotel do place "left-overs" by previous guest on strategic locations for guests use. Hotel is within a residential block, use only the lift assigned for Travelers. You can enter & exit the building via 2 different gates. Security wise, it is very safe as there is a gatekeeper on each gate

I would highly recommend the Dragon hostel if travelling on a budget. Very central location, only minutes from the MTR and airport bus stop. Staff spoke a good level of English and were friendly and attentive from the moment I checked in. When I reported that the light bulb needed replacing in my room, this was dealt with immediately. You can also buy discounted attraction tickets from the main reception, which were around 10 dollars cheaper than the gate price. My room and bathroom
were very small but only to be expected for the price, and after all, I was only sleeping there. The bed was comfortable and a decent size for one person. This was my first experience staying in a hostel, and I wasn’t disappointed. Well done Dragon Hostel. You do a great job!
