Venetian Hostel

Good place to stay overnight and for singles especially on a budget travel. Reception could be a bit more welcoming and friendly. Couldnt get much information from there. But the location is excellent. Recommended for business trips.

I HAVE STAYED IN THE SAME BUILDING AT OTHER HOSTELS AND THEY DELIVER WHAT THEY PROMISED FOR THE MONEY YOU AGREE TO PAY. NOT THE CASE WITH THE VENETIAN. VERY UNFRIENDLY PERSONNEL AND DEMAND MORE MONEY THAT WHAT YOU AGREED UPON ONLINE RESERVATION. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A HARD TIME AND MEET THE MOST UNPROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL THEN GO AHEAD AND STAY AT THE VENETIAN. WILL NOT RECOMMEND EVEN TO MY WORST ENEMY.

This is hotel is a good deal for those travelling on a budget. The rooms are extremely small and there was no window, but the location and value for money make up for that. The room and corridors were really clean, and fresh towels were brought in everyday. The building is very safe and all persons entering the building after 11pm have to show ID.

This was a great hostel. The room was clean and small but had all the necessities as specified on the website: ie shower, bathroom, a/c, bed. The owner was pleasant and helpful in accomodating. I highly recommend this hotel and will come back again.

After 11pm you have prostitutes lining up on the street just outside the hotel. Surely there would be drugs and other stuff happening too. A shop selling some chinese processed eatables always gave out a bad smell going in and out. Rooms had no windows and it was like being locked up in a cell. Room size was 4'x9' and for the claustrophobics - stay away. Outside the rooms the corridors of the building were usually dirty and other residents staying in the building would dry their clothes in the corridors. Reception was in the corridor - just a table!

Total money grab - this hostel charges you an additional 100HKD when you check in bringing the total price of this tiny windowless hostel room to the equivalent of a budget hotel. I'd much rather have chosen the budget hotel and at least would have known what I was getting for my money.

Small and simple hotel with convenient location. Had to pay 100HK$ resort fee and 100HK$ key deposit at check inn. Elevators stopped only in odd or even floors, and when reception and hotel room was in 13 and 14 floor it took a while to move between the floors with luggage. Basically a clean and simple place with convenient location for a relatively reasonable price.

Hi, The room was a bit smaller than i expected but is good value for a single traveller for a short stay. Place is a convienient location and everything is a walking distance away.The staff were excellent. My luggage was misplaced by the airlines and was to be delivered late at night. The lady covering reception stayed well past her time to recieve the luggage around 1.30am. If you could pass my thanks to the Chinese ladies there - I did not get to see her afterwards as i was out and about at the time she was at reception. Raj

I was backpacking throughout asia and by no means do I have high standards for hotels. BUT the room is in a shady building and the elevators close down at 10pm. You have to walk to the other side of the seedy building to get up and down after that. The sheets were stained and our second lock was broken. The room was tiny but that's to be expected in Hong Kong. The people who work there are not the friendliest either. Avoid if you can.

Unless you really want to feel what the old Hong Kong is like, I wouldn't go to this guesthouse, or any other for that matter. As guesthouses go, this one is on top of the list, but it remains very surprising with its small rooms and basic bathroom facilities. They have made a big effort to make it quite nice, so if you are on a tight budget and you are the adventurous sort, then you can go there for decent accommodation. Although it is clean, we did have bed bugs...They changed our room without discussion.
