    Room and toilet is clean. Room has windows for ventilation . Beddings are very clean, white and comfortable . 7 11 in front of the building. A lot of restaurants beside. Excellent location for shopping such as langham and sneaker street

    1. It’s not a hotel but pension type of accommodation in the business /residential building. So very local style. Not a problem for us as we were out all day 2. It might be tight if you have a lot of luggage

    1. Location is great, 1 min from metro and convenient to airport. There are tons of restaurants and shopping 2 it’s clean and quiet for us. Hot water is plenty and good pressure though it’s asian style bathroom ( wet and dry is not separated) and it’s tight if you are bigger person. 3. Wifi works great 4. Communication is fast via booking message and reception time is late 5. Owner is helpful 6. Cleaner came in to clear the garbage

    A bit of difficulties talking with the owner since her english is very poor. The shared spaces can be a bit dirty and the building is a labirinth, although very typical of hongkong mong kok area.

    Central location, well connected by metro and busses. Very good price and overall confortable in relation to the price spent. Luckily our window was facing outside and not toward the inner courtyard which would have otherwise been much more dump.

    It's clearly not the Hyatt: the room is small, no closet and the toilette is tiny but still, I liked it. It gives the full Hong Kong experience. The staff is nice, they change towels daily and the position is the best.

    There is a dirty smell in the building. But NOT in the hostel. After the elevator broke, we had to take the stairs and I was so surprised by that strong smell...also how the building was old and worn out..

    Very welcoming amazing host and staff

    I have to ask to replace my towels or else they even brother to replace them. So many hostels in the same building. In there advertising it said there is a microwave in the room. It is misleading. There is none there. You have to prepare to pay HK$100.00 as a deposit during your stay.

    There is no breakfast provided. The only thing I like this hostel is the location. It is near the MTR station and it is convenient to take the local bus. It has a good direction to get to this hostel from the Airport. You can refill your water outside your room.

    The place is exactly like in the pictures. It's super tiny (but all places are in Honk Kong), super clean (was cleaned every day), close to the subway, some really good places to eat and the 7-eleven, WIFI is excellent.

    Rooms are too small which i think is just normal in HK..Smelly and untidy hallway. Bed is not comfy, t’was kinda hard.

    It’s just few steps away from Mongkok MTR Stn. and Ladies Market is just across the street. The staff are very accomodating..

    What I didn't like does not affect my stay itself but going inside Sincere House where the hostel is. Sometimes, the elevator might be crowded, you need to go to the other side of the Sincere House which is also the entrance during 12AM.

    I like how they accommodate me during midnight as one booking cancelled on me. I'm really thankful for the owner to respond to me quickly and it does exceeds my expectations when it comes to my stay as I decided to extend it for 5 days. My room that I had was amazing and perfect. The owner and the staff are the best. They greet me every time I saw them. The bathroom is narrow but I think that's the Hong Kong aesthetic. I like how it was in the middle of Hong Kong bustling city. Mong Kok location is the perfect stay for me.

    The rooms are really, really small (but this is normal in Hong Kong I guess) and have no windows. The room also smelled a bit bad (old and moist) when the AC had been off. At the time of our stay for some reason there was someone drilling and hammering every morning nearby in the building so that woke me and my boyfriend up every morning and it was very loud. Luckily it wasn't before 10 am but we go to bed late so in our case it was annoying.

    The owner was very friendly and kind and flexible regarding our needs. The location of the hostel is also perfect, right in the middle of a lively and interesting neighborhood. They cleaned the rooms everyday and changed towels when needed. The AC was very effective.
