HK Hostel

The Hong Kong Calvin Youth Hostel in Mong Kok is praised for its affordability, convenient location near the MTR station, and friendly, helpful service. Guests value the smooth online check-in and out process.

I didn't really expect much so I wasn't that disappointed. But I get where the bad reviews are coming from. If you're expecting a hotel service, you'd be disappointed. My room was really small. Rooms are situated in what seems to be an apartment unit made into small partitions. I booked a bunk bed, but I got "upgraded" to a solo room but without a door. They just covered the door with a bedsheet haha. From what I could observe, that's the only room without door. Thought of transferring to bunk bed room a night after, but I thought I prefered having my own space even with the makeshift door. So I stayed for the next 2 nights. The owner replied fast via whatsapp. I requested for self check-in, and instructions were on point and easy to follow. At first, I thought the room I went it belonged to somebody else because there was a small luggage under the bed. Told this to the host and he said it's his. So maybe the room I was assigned to wasn't meant to be for guests. There was an electric fan in the room. What stands out is its LOCATION. Very near the subway, around 2 min walk to the exit. 7eleven and mcdo nearby. Famous dimsum resto called dim dim sum is in the same building. Ichiran ramen mong kok branch is also nearby. Hostel also has washing machine, so you can do your laundry here. Shower with heater, shampoo and body wash are availbable in the two showerooms/toilets. Overall, it is great for backpackers who just needs a place to sleep in.

There’s a lot of mud in the bathroom which is overall not very clean. The beds are too many for the small room and it was so messy, maybe for the people already living there. I found bags and backpacks on my bed when I arrived which was a bit annoying…
