#HongKongFlightEvent When traveling alone in Hong Kong, the thing I was worried about was accommodation Then I found a hostel with good value for money and it was great 📍Yesinn Hotel & Youth Hostel 悦思酒店&青年旅舍 I used a 4-person female room, the air conditioning worked really well, and it was on the 25th floor so the view was great 👍 The location was also very convenient because it was near Yaomatei Station.

Located in Yau Ma Tei near the intersection of Temple Street, I have stayed at the Yue Si Youth Hostel many times, including a double room and a four-person mixed dormitory. I remember the first time I checked in with a curious attitude. The check-in procedure was simple and fast. The waiters were attentive and explained the details of the accommodation clearly. I also remember that when I first went to the room, it was more comfortable than I expected. The space is not large, but the layout is reasonable. The decoration colors make people feel comfortable and not too gloomy. In addition, all rooms have large windows and first-class lighting. Although the buildings near the main buildings are high-rise buildings, most of them are not dense high-rise buildings, so the view will not be blocked at all. For a youth hostel located in the city center, this is completely worth the price 👍👍💕☺, and it is less than three minutes walk from the Yau Ma Tei MTR station, so you can imagine how convenient it is 😎 Another time I stayed in a four-person dormitory room, as shown in the picture. It was simple and comfortable, with plenty of space. Although there was no TV, it actually made for a more peaceful stay ❤! Everyone has the opportunity to try this simple but comfortable and affordable youth hostel, whether traveling alone, with a partner, or as a family. 👍👍

🏨Yesin-YMT 📍Address 2/F, 1B Wing Sing Ln, Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong 🕒Check-in/Check-out 3pm/11am ✔️Personal lockers available ✔️Travelers can meet in the lobby lounge ✔️Cooking available ✔️Board games available ---------------------- Yesin YMT is a sentimental hostel that fits the Hong Kong sensibility. It is located at Yau Ma Tei Station in Hong Kong, so famous restaurants such as 'Mido Cafe', 'Hinkee', and 'Pookie' are all close by, and the Hong Kong night market 'Temple Street Night Market' is also within walking distance. The most impressive thing is the sentimental lobby lounge where travelers can mingle. The bedding is soft and the air conditioning is always cool. I stayed in a 4-person dormitory, but there are also 2-person and 3-person rooms, so it's okay to visit with family and friends. #Emotional Accommodation #HongKongTravel #HongKongAccommodation #Hostel #Guesthouse

#HongKongTravel This was my first time traveling to Hong Kong, and most of the accommodations are usually expensive. However, I wanted to find a place to stay at an affordable price for sleeping, because I was just going to sleep there. During the day, I spent most of my time traveling and spending time outside. When I got back to my accommodation, it was already late, so I just looked for a place to sleep. A small room was fine, as long as it was clean and odorless, and had a private bathroom. As for the amenities, I wasn't too bothered. I kept scrolling and found Yesinn @YMT Youth Hostel. I booked it through Trip.com for 3,599 baht for 2 nights for 2 people, which was a very good price. However, when I booked it, I was a bit worried whether it would be as advertised or not. I just had to hope until the day I went. 🛏️Review of the room I booked was the Twin Beds type, which I got on the 12th floor of the building. When I opened the door, the air conditioner was very cold, and I was greeted by a bunk bed, a table with 2 clothes racks, and a green-black room color scheme. The large window had a view of the building, making the room not too cramped. The bathroom was rectangular and narrow, in the Hong Kong style. Big people might have a hard time with this type of bathroom, because it was really narrow. If you turn a little, you'll be stuck in your body. But for usable, not thinking much, focusing on taking a shower and then getting dressed in a room with space for us to use and acceptable at this price. In terms of room amenities, there are toothbrushes, soaps, shampoos, glasses, towels, hair dryers and plugs that can be plugged in from Thailand without using a plug converter. Very convenient, but we also brought a converter just in case. The accommodation has staff to clean every day. I like it very much. But the accommodation does not have a bidet, which is normal for hotels abroad. And there are no foot towels. If anyone is not convenient but wants to stay, you can bring your own foot towel. Travel 🚌This time, we traveled by bus line A21 from the airport. Get off at Man Ming Lane, Nathan stop, about 10 stops. It took about 1 hour from the airport. Then cross the street to the other side. Open the map, follow the map, and you will find a building with the name of the Hostel. Go into that building and press the elevator to the 2nd floor. It will be the Reception to check in and you will get a key card. There is no deposit here. The staff can communicate in English well. It's not difficult to listen. There are many restaurants in the accommodation area. There is a night market that you can walk all the way to Jordan Mong Kok. Ⓜ️ This accommodation is near MTR Yau Ma Tei. You can leave the airport by AirPort Express. Get off at Hong Kong Station and change lines to Yau Ma Tei Station. ⭐️This accommodation is in a hostel style. The reception area is also a shared kitchen. There are utensils for you to use. You can bring your own food to cook. There is a refrigerator for storing things. There is also a vending machine for drinking water or other drinks. And we saw many foreigners cooking their own food. But we focused on eating outside because we wanted to eat at many restaurants. 💲About 1,700-2,000 baht, depending on the time, for a Twin Beds room. But there are also dormitory rooms that are cheaper. And there are also Family Rooms for groups of people. #HongKongTravel #HongKong #hongkong #cheapaccommodation
