We had difficulty at first because our reservation was given to another since our plane arrive past midnight even if I emailed them in advance (though I got no response). However, the staff ensured that we got a cramped space to sleep for a few hours and moved us to a better room after 12:00 noon.
It's horrible place to stay. my friends suffer from rashes for a week from the bed bugs. The toilets flush faulty. The bedroom was dirty, the Ceiling was hole everywhere. Its a nightmare. Dont ever stay there or you will regret it.
In a word, you get what you pay ; and in Hong Kong the price are quiet high. I've booked a bed in a four bed room and I've actually been to a 6 bedrooms dormitory. I've been explained that there won't have more than 4 people inside. The bed was a plank of wood with a small and smelly futon (after a couple a nights you actually get use to it). The room was big enough with air condition and ventilation (which was nice) Bathroom was kind of a joke cause you shower in a toilet. It is cleaned everyday but they are not enough toilets or cleaning per day so if you take the shower pretty late, then you know that people can do dirty things... The staff over there is quiet useless. Asking a question to the owner is a pain in the ass for him to answer. He won't give any special advice if you don't harass him to answer. The location is nice/not nice. Everyday when you walk around your hostel, people will harass you to buy watches or suits or maybe hash... The place is close to TST station and to the Ferry star but all the main bars are on the other island so or you come back before the last metro (around mid night) or you take the taxi (expensive in HK compared to China) In the other hand, the people you met there are nice. Easy to make contact and go out. Also the price are negotiable some paid 50/night some like me who booked on-line paid 100/night (HK $) The washing-machine doesn't work but if you pay 40$ then you'll get your clothes cleaned and dry. Also there is a fridge available (good to cool the beer). Wifi works pretty well. To sum up if you are looking for a cheap place with no high expectations on the service or the place itself, this is a good one.
lots of bugs in the bad!
It is so bad! when we came to the hostel,they gave us different rooms which were not the same as we book!!!! and at the access, thier attitude was very bad.
The place is fine! Clean!! The staff is very rude though. It's located in a good position in a very old and shubby building.
We had a private room with bath, together about 11 squaremeter. AC and TV does not work. We had to pay in advance, very unusual!!
we experienced a lot of confusion when trying to locate the exact spot of the hostel. The bathtub was very small and the beds were hard as rock. However, the cleaning was very good and the staff was nice.
I stayed for 1 night in the single bed room. Room is tidy and clean but a bit tiny, (i understand it's normal in Hong Kong). It's located in an old building but with its character and there are lotso f boutiques downstairs which you could buy a lot of sovenirs. Location is perfect!
It's my ever most satisfied hostel at reasonable price. I think i could not find a better rate than this hostel with such a nice and clearn room. Would definitely recommend to all.
Thank you Mrs. Lee, the manager at the reception, for arranging us such a nice room with windows! i would definitely recommend to all my friends.
COMPLETELY CRAP!!! if there is "0", i would give it zero-rating! I took a lift to the 13th floor to Kowloon hotel. The reception requested that i pay another 200HKD more than what is stated on my reservation list. The usher told me there is no room and led me to another accomodation on the 12 floor. I was stunned to find that the living condition was terribly lousy. I asked why was the room different from the pictures that they posted on the internet. He laughed and tell me to take a picture of the room and it will look the same as the ones on the internet!!! I am willing to pay much more next time to stay in a proper hotel. For those who dont like to get cheated, please stay away from this hotel "Kowloon New Hotel"!!!
Staff had limited english capabilities but tried to communicate-which was great cuz they tried to help us when needed & friendly.
Travelers friendship hostel is ok for budget travellers or backpackers.It's location is good esp the mtr stations are just a few mins walk.The hostel itself is clean,staff are friendly and Mr.Li,the owner I think is very accomodating.At first glance,the whole building(Mirador mansion)looks delapidated esp when you enter the building.It looks scary as if someone might just come out from nowhere and grab you and do something bad to you!There are different hostel names here and these group of hostels must do something about the appearance of the building and not just their own hostels.One might think that with the way this building looks,its's as if kowloon hides what it really is all about..clean on the outside,dirty on the inside...tsk.tsk..tsk...very bad publicity...
very good,very clean,friendly staff.
A good place to have a sleep.
good customer service with friendly hospitality Also security is not bad with 2doors but corridor dirty and smelly though
An hostel nice, clean and with a really friendly staff.
the room is pretty good, tidy and nice! but they gave me a bed with one double bed and one single bed, that is not so good for three big men! originally we would like a 3-single-bed room, but they said the rrent we paid is only for this room. they asked us to send them an email beforehand to make sure we pay what we get. and accepted to give us a 80 discount as a compensation! how friendly they are!
it is such a busy season, the manager is so busy that a long queue of travelers are waiting outside the reception. however, she still sends another staff to help me and answer all my questions! i am so grateful and will recommend all my friends to come!
