Venetian Hostel

Stay here only if you're desperate and have no other options. I paid for two nights but checked out after the first night. My room did not have a window at all (despite being led to believe I had a "city view". I felt like I was suffocating due to the absence of air in the room - which was an awful feeling when being exhausted from a long flight. Having said that- the staff were friendly etc and the room reasonably clean despite being a tiny windowless box. The guesthouse is in a pretty good location in Kowloon, close to many nearby attractions as well as the ferry to get across the harbour. There was an eclectic mix of people from around the world staying at the hotel which was kind of interesting but not enough to stop me from checking out and moving to the Peninsula down the road... enjoy HK!

better not to go

There are 2 upsides. Price and location. The price can't be beat. And located right next to the Tsim Tsa Tsui MTR station is fantastic. Just remember that this is a hostel.

Definitely value for money. First two nights we didn't have towels in our room but since it was a budget hotel, we assumed it wasn't part of the service. Good thing we brought our own towel. Third night, we got towels. They clean and fix the room daily. Staff are honest and nice. The sliding door of our bathroom kept falling though. There's a water dispenser at the hall, and fast internet service. It's also a hop away from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station which makes commuting very convenient. Very satisfied with my exeperience.

First of all Venetian hostel in HK is extremely hard to find. When I finally found the Mirador Mansion I was only half way to find the reception. On the ground floor there is a market where a lot of Indian people want to sell anything from tailor made suits to chinese visas. If you just want to know the way to the hotel they probably show you one of their shops instead. I went up with the elevator and found an internet bar on the 10th floor where I once again checked the floor and part of the floor the hotel was at. After I went to the right floor where I still hade to walk around for a while before I saw the tiny little door where it said Venetian Hostel, reception on floor 13. Then I went to the 13th floor and walked around a little before I asked someone at USA hostel. They told me that it was the right place so I just wonder why they call the places with different names. When I checked in there was a mandatory extra fee of 100hk$ for using internet and when I got to my room the internet didn't even work. Also the room was very small and not very clean so if you want it cheap you should know that this is what you get, and it is more expensive than you think!

We arrived past 12 midnight because of our late flight. Unfortunately, the front desk of this hotel is closed from 12 MN until morning. After knocking on the door for over an hour and asking help from the building administrator's office, the manager finally arrived to let us into our reserved room. Moral lesson: if you want to stay in this hotel, do not get a flight that arrives past midnight!

The room was very small and without window, but it was more or less clean.

perfer location in jian sha zui, 2 min walk to subway, clean room, no better than it at this price. do not expect to much

The room is small,and the air-condition made the noise.

Good: location for sightseeing and shopping. free internet connection and water from dispenser in the hallway. Very good daily room cleaning. Bad: check in and out because you need to go to a different floor to do it. Bad TV connection - out of service for three days. No wallpapers on part of the wall.
