Yesinn @YMT Youth Hostel

The is called a Youth Hostel, though if you are a more mature person looking for a cheap ensuite room to stay in , then this is the place for you. If you have booked a private room you will not be experiencing any type of hostel vibe if you do not wish and will not be disturbed by groups of backpackers. Apart from check in, you will get the elevator straight to your floor view it just as a cheap hotel. If you are a backpacker looking for a cheap and convenient place to stay , then this is for you. If you are the type of backpacker who is looking for the upbeat, energetic vibe, this is not one of those places…though there are posters up related to pub crawls, activities and tours. There is a small common area in the receptions area with a small kitchen corner, some books and games. Several reviews have commented on small beds: ordinary people live in very cramped conditions in HK and furniture sizes reflect this so beds are unlikely to be comfortable for tall people as budget accommodation is unlikely to pay extra to purchase atypical bed sizes. Hong Kong is always ranked within the top 2 of the cities with high cost of living. This is a very good bargain for Hong Kong. I stayed in a private ensuite room and in the past I have paid more for less, both in HK and elsewhere. I am going to San Franscisco soon and am paying the same price for less nights and a shared bathroom.

Very good, helpful and friendly service from the male reception staff. (I think he only works during the day shift.) The 2 lifts go to every floor and are convenient if carrying luggage. The room is clean and quite spacious for the 3 double bunk beds in a dormitory. As expected, need to bear with the snoring from fellow roommates. After 2 nights, my wife and I decided to change a double bed room which is cramped but comes with an ensuite bathroom. Central location close to the Yau Ma Tei MTR station and bus stop and also within walking distance to the various malls and to the Tsim Sha Tsui area. The night market and other eateries are also in the neighbourhood.

Very convenient for short trip in Hong Kong

The hostel is in an okay location, with plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. It is also close by the the night market. I got the airport transfer bus from the airport for 35hkd which was equivalent to £3.50gbp, and it took under an hour. My way back I took a different airport transfer bus which cost more somehow, 42hkd, which was roughly £4.20. The ferry port isn’t too far and costs 6.50hkd which is an under 70pence gbp or under a euro/usd. Now the negatives sadly, the hostel is quite run down and cleanliness is an issue. My room had severe damp issues, my bed had huge patches of damp and it caused me to not sleep properly at all! The shower room and separate toilet were terrible and I chose to not shower there, thought I’d shower at the airport lounge vip as that would be cleaner and safer. The toilet seat was broken and it was a hazard to even think about using it! The shared common area for the hostel is tiny, in the same room as the check-in/check-out reception area, minimal seats available. The kitchen area is in the corner, I had to use a tumbler glass to have my own coffee, as they didn’t have mugs or proper cups. I’ve stayed in hostels before and had a great experience. Sadly, this place was a disaster and I wouldn’t use them again :/

Terrible hostel. The renovation is so poor. The ceiling is covered with yellow water stains. The shower in mixed dormitory not even equipped with shower curtain. I stayed in a room with 3 man and when taking shower is so confusing if anyone would open the door. The aircon is constantly on, and the guests don’t have aircon control to adjust the swing or temperature. The air flow was directed right on my upper bed. I asked to switch it off, the reception guy arrived with a remote control and said he wouldn’t switch off as other guests will feel no air circulation. But the window is also opened and you can’t close it. and it was only 19 degrees at night. Would be good to inform the guests about these in advance. On top of all, instead of nice apology or nice manner, the reception guy was rude and not willing to help.
