• Supornchai (8/5): สะดวกใกล้เเหล่งชุมชน ลงมาก็ถึงรถไฟฟ้า เเละร้านค้าของกินใากมาย - สะดวก กุญแจใช้ระบบรหัส มีล็อด2ชั้นดูปลอดภัย ภายนอกดูอยู่ในตึกเก่า คนเยอะลิฟขึ้นได้ช้าม ในชาวงคนเยอะ
• Supornchai (8/5): ดี - ดี ดี
• Zhan Juin (9/5): -
• Kinzu (10/5): Very friendly host and good value money. -
• HIROSHI (8/5): - 5泊なのに、部屋掃除をしなかったんです。
• John (7/5): Friendly staff and good location for shopping, train and eateries. - I stay at this hostel often and have developed a good relationship with the staff. Very close to the markets. Location is close to the shopping market, food vendors, the train station and the airport bus.
• Jasper (7/5): -
• yee (6/5): -
• Binay (3/5): Poor - The Filipino male worker (cleaner) had an attitude of being a bit serious all the time with no smile. During checkout we were a bit late by 15 minutes and he came to our room door with his mop and bucket and saw us still putting things in our suitcase, he just turned around with his serious face and worked away showing that he was not happy with us still being there. The water pressure was low and having a shower in the cold was a bit of a problem.
• siu yin (4/5): - Bathroom is really small
• siu yin (6/5): - Bath room is really small
• Pamela (2/5): a mess - Rude staff. Dirty hostel everything
• Angely (8/5): great location - nice and comfortable
• Pauline (9/5): It felt like home away from home. - The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. They never hesitated in providing us with our needs. The hostel stands in what I think is the most convenient location in HK with easy access to all necessities (7/11s on both sides of the building, 24/7 affordable restaurants, night markets, Mong Kok station, among others).
• Fugen (10/5): Excellent - Friendly staff Nothing
• Michelle (5/5): Passable - Really Small Room Slow internet
• Clide (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eng (10/5): Exceptional - Staff is friendly n help me settle heater problem, atleast I can hv hot shower. Location good, subway near n eat convenient.
• Lorelie (9/5): Superb - The staff is very nice and accommodating. She's Indonesian, friendly, and very helpful. The place is near the ladies market, sneakers streets and many more. They have basic needs like water, coffee, candies, etc. For me, I will still choose Ah Shan for my next visit. Thank you😊
• Kashna (7/5): Good -
• Maria (6/5): it was a good stay - location is good room is quite small
• Eric (6/5): We had a good stay in HK. Front desk and staff are accomodating and friendly. Place is very accessible to mtr and shoppi - The property is located in the center or Mong kok easily accessible to banks, mtr and shops. Old room, needs improvement. Bed is high and facilities are basic.
• Ongardpajon (9/5): Superb - Good location Reception nice
• Louis (8/5): - This company evidently controls many units in this building, and I can only speak about my unit - which may be better than some of the others. Inside my unit was very clean and everything looked new. Everything worked very well - especially good A/C and shower - Wifi good. There was a refrigerator and hot water dispenser outside the unit in the hallway - small room - no room inside for them anyway. It was exactly as in the picture - with a nice window and view and all. The two young ladies on the staff were always smiling and asking if anything was needed. The 16 story apartment building is old and the elevators are small and at times crowded - but not a big problem. The MTR train is a couple short blocks away. The area is good - lively and safe. Not really 24 hour reception when I arrived. I was not carrying a local cell phone. Luckily, security was able to contact someone to let me in at midnight. The only complaint really was other guests who make noise and slam doors late at night - management cannot control these inconsiderates. Overall a very good stay - thank you.
• Menchu (8/5): Very good -
• Mary (6/5): - I booked Ah Shen because a friend of mine recommended it, saying it's clean. For this price, I didn't expect much. Location is extremely convenient for eateries, shopping and public transportation. However, they posted a commitment sheet inside the room, claiming that if guests stay there for more than four days, they will clean the room and change towels. We stayed for 10 days, and none of these have been implemented. We even have to ask to get a new garbage bag for our room. It's better if they don't make such a claim.
• Danisse (9/5): We booked a room for 2 but we ended up having a room good for 3! It was spacious especially for a Hong Kong property! We - The property is walking distance to sneaker street, ladies market, restaurants, and malls and near the Mong Kok MTR station! It smells cigarette in the toilet everytime we go back after doing our itinerary. However, the smell goes away after minutes of using the cr. There is a bit of a long line in the elevator at night but it is a given since there are also residents here.
• Renf (6/5): Good value for money but do not expect Ritz Carlton quality. - The place is in a very convenient location. There was an ensuite bathroom I needed to wait for a lift for 5 minutes at times. The place was not big, but it was good value for money.
• Zhengguo (8/5): - For the price it’s great! Compact but clean
• Francia (9/5): Superb -
• Steve (8/5): - Don't stay here. There are plenty of other places in the same price bracket. Awful place to stay and over priced for what it is. Had a twin room and there were some sort of midges crawling around on top of the other bed. These are flats converted into tiny rooms. No windows. Seriously look either.
• Kannaporn (5/5): Passable -
• Shaw (6/5): Pleasant -
• Myh (7/5): Good -
• Geng (7/5): Good -
• Juliana (3/5): You get what you pay for - good and convenient location, friendly staff, good price. room too small, not enough hot water and had nights without water supply to take a shower. Air condition had water leakage wetting out my belongings.
• William (10/5): Exceptional - closed to centre too small
• Carmil (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (3/5): Poor - Location, convenience and good value The room was not originally booked...Two beds, instead it's one bed for two guests barely accomadated and very small, one charging outlet only. The owner will change back the originally booked room on 2nd day but never did, instead gave room to other guests. Demands full or partial or compensation and filed complaints twice to Booking customer service but never replied.
• Denika (8/5): Very good -
• Eng (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nichanan (5/5): Passable -
• Kong (6/5): Pleasant -
• Stephen.c_2444 (8/5): Very good -
• Jaka (6/5): Pleasant -
• Tim (7/5): Good - Location was brilliant you really are at the heart of the city with very easy access to public transport. This included public transport to and from the airport. Staff were also very friendly and helpful when checking in. Hostel facilities are pretty much non existent. Furthermore there was a typhoon on the final night of my stay and the noise from rain hitting the AC unit was incredible. I didn't get much sleep at all. Im not sure if there is anything the hotel can do about this none the less it was irritating.
• Natcha (10/5): Exceptional - Super friendly owner and staff None
• Timothy (2/5): - It is all BAD all over, except location
• Danieljst (7/5): Good - Location The room had ants
• Maria (7/5): the apt is fairly clean and has good location - it's location the elevator going to our accomodation
• Timothy (2/5): - Everything is run down, water leaks on the top of your head
• Liu (1/5): Bad - The air conditioner was so noisy
• Mary (8/5): Very good -
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent - Excellent service and good location
• Chun Cheong (10/5): - Good location.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - The check in was very easy. The ac in our original room was not working, so the receptionist transferred us to another room and set up the ac for us. All of the staffs are very accommodating and speaks English. Their front desk is also 24hours so its fine that we checked in very late. They also offer concierge service for free.
• MayRita (10/5): - Just 1 minute walk to the Mongkok station. A girl at the counter is very nice and ready to service.
• Siew Lah (4/5): Not having good experience - + friendly staff, cold aircond, got security guard - we stayed in 1 double decker with 1 double bed room. Room spacious is really really limited till only allow 1 pax to walk to the bed. Toilet is small. No space to turn around as the WC is just under the shower. Got bugs bit me and my niece after overnight there. But the other 2 paxs were ok.
• Rose (6/5): - Near bus station to airport, shopping area but narrow room, elevator not enough
• Sheryll (8/5): Nice little budget hostel, close to everything - If you're looking for budget accommodation in Hong Kong, check out Ah Shan hostel in Mongkok area. It's very convenient, close to a lot of small cafes, Ladies' market, sneaker street, gold fish market, etc. It's right smack in the middle of everything and the MTR is only a few minutes away. The unit is clean, staff are friendly, good enough wifi. They provide soap and shampoo, but towels are not free. Checkin and checkout was a breeze. Overall, it was a wonderful stay.
• GG (4/5): - Location was good but the hostel is very old and many things not in working conditions. We booked 2 rooms and 1 of it the air conditioning was not working and had no window and my friend couldn’t sleep the whole night as was told that they have no other room available. The mattress in my room have a weird sound at slightest movement n the blanket n sheets looked like they been working used for years. Toilet door handle was demaged n not replaced and opening from inside was a challenged.
• Mike (8/5): Great for a short stay - Great location in Kowloon. Friendly staff. Very clean. Room was small and no windows. Great for a short stay.
• Tony (6/5): - The room size is decent, u get what u pay for. Good location, near the station, around 1mins walk. The toilet abit small, but ok. Overall I will come back to this hostel again.
• Yiing Yiing (8/5): - Located strategically, near Mong Kok station exit D2
• Verified traveler (6/5): OK hostel - The hostel is a series of little rooms located within a very old building. First, you'll need to get up to their reception on the 14th floor. Check in was quick. The reception will ask you if you need towels and toothbrush. Then will bring you to the room which could be anywhere in the building. You'll walk pass other residents' laundry in the corridor til you get to your hostel. You'll enter that door and within that door, you'll see several rooms. Your should be one of them. Drinking water is usually in the common area. Walls are thin so you might hear the other guests. Rooms are decent - not smelly. Bathroom is tiny. Usually, the room has nothing else other than a little table and your bed. Yes, it's got aircon. Overall, it's OK.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Close to Mong Kok station, lovely cleaning ladies, close to markets and dining options
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Close to MTR, markets and food shops. Adorable cleaning staff.
• uncle Dom (8/5): No thrill in Prime Location - Just want a place to sleep. Transportation & food place right there.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Shops and restaurant is around the hostel - * The beds are with bed bugs. * When we request to fix the faulty lightning in toilet, it has to be 1 day after only can fix, caused me and my room mate brushed teeth in a dark condition * Can't sleep well along our stay at night, because room next door is a room which there is a balcony and the guests staying next door went out to balcony chatting with thier room mates whole night caused very noisy and which thier room's balcony exactly our room's window. And those rooms door 'bang' very loud when the guests closed thier room's door including our room's door.
• N (2/5): Very good support from staff but no facilities - Good location, very good staff but room very small no window and need facilities such as towel or any soap!!
• Rose Ann (8/5): - The room is small but staff is really helpful, room is cleaned, great location.
• LittleTraveller (8/5): Good location,near by shopping and food - The room small but clean, good services,good location.
• qiqi (4/5): Not a good stay. - it's inside the city, near to train station. However, there is extra charges for towel usage, water dispenser is spoiled, we do not have hot water to cook instant noodles. Also, the door lock is spoiled on the second day. We rushing for tour so did not inform in the morning. We come back at night the owner has changed the door lock without informing and the lady boss is very rude. However, the hotel staff is friendly.
• qiqi (4/5): good location, inside the city - The old lady boss is rude. Our room door has spoiled in the second day morning, but we are rushing for tour. We get to tell the lady boss in the second night. But she scolded us for late inform but the door lock has changed by the boss without informing us and get into our room! Also there is no toilet tissue provided at all. However there are 2 friendly staffs in the hotel.
• Dyon (4/5): Value for money, condition of room needs improveme - Drain almost choking status. Shower can't on the tap too strong else it may flood. Slightly better condition than the other hotel rooms I have stayed before on the same building for the same price. Not for fussy travellers.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Environment not bad - Nice stay here and nice environment here. I will recommend to friends when they visit to Hong Kong.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Not bad - Not bad place to stay. Nearby mongkok station and almost all streets, quite convenient.
• Jamie (8/5): Great hotel location for shoppers and families. - Hotel staff are very helpful, Mongkok is a good local food hunting places.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - A family of 14 members booked 4 rooms with this budget hotel. All rooms were found with bed bugs and we were bitten too. The counter staff's attitude was not very helpful and friendly. They changed the room once for us but when we complained again, they got fed up. Other than this, the room is quite small. Overall, we got what we paid for for room condition. The location is quite near to the Mongkok MTR station exit D2. This is a plus point.
• Nat (8/5): Awesome location , Standard size for budget hotel - The location of hotel is very great, Just 2 min walk from Mong kok station, Room size is standard size that you can find in Hong Kong, Room was clean just a bit dust found out. Free hot and cold water, luggage can be deposited for free. Recommend for this hostel.
• Nat (8/5): Good location , room size is standard for Hk - Ber good location at center of any Market ib Mongkok , 2 min to sneaker street and lady night market , 3 min to MRT Mongkok. Stand size of Hk style.
• Verified traveler (4/5): A Box - The cheapest rooms you can get in Hong Kong but it is not for staying but only a place where you can store your belongings while you go around Hong Kong.
• Redentor (8/5): Hong kong family getaway 2. - Location is accessible to MTR and shopping center. Room was small clean, new pain and tiles airconditoned with TV. Bathroom was small but with strong hot and cold water. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Not So good, because no towel and no cleaning services during the stay. OMG!!! Is very unhygienic for no mopping, no cleaning toilet, no change bedsheets etc....
• Verified traveler (8/5): Clean room and very close to a lot attractions - The exterior of the building is characteristic of the area but the room itself was clean and spacious enough.
• happy guy (6/5): hotel close to shops - I like to stay in this place as it is cheap and clean and bear to all shops and plenty of eat out places , also close to bus and MTR
• Verified traveler (10/5): Close to every traveler's necessities - March 2017 - We like the hostel's proximity to the MRT, restaurants, bakeries and especially starbucks :) No far walking. We go downstairs and everything we need are there. The room is decent and the hot water is abundant plus it is soft water ... nice feeling to the skin after shower. Air conditioning is good. We did not have any complaints at all except for the outside appearance of the hostel which will make you think twice but once inside the hostel it was okay. There was hot and cold water for drinking outside our room. Owner and staff are very attentive to customer's needs. We will go back to this hostel if traveling to hong kong.
• CHAN (6/5): Convenient but small room - The location is perfect. Near MRT and A21 airport bus. A lot of restaurants nearby. Clean room but the room very small.
• Verified traveler (6/5): It's ok, staff are nice - Very convenient, everything is around you and close to station
• Elin (8/5): Small but clean and bright - We checked in at the 14th floor and got a room on the 8th. The twin room with private bathroom was big enough for two, as long as you don't expect to be able to swing a cat in it. Our backpacks fit under the bed, there's a TV, AC, hanger and a small desk. The bathroom is narrow but deep enough not to have to stand on the toilet while showering. In the corridor outside there's hot and cold drinking water and a communal fridge where you can put your food and drinks. Towels must be rented for 10HKD each/stay. There's two entrances into the building. One closes at 11.45 PM and you will have to go to the one on Fa Yuan Street. The staff in the reception speaks English and are all very nice. Elevators are small and slow so expect to be waiting a while. Had a lizard and four semi-large bugs but none of them stayed for long. I will definitely stay here next time I'm in Hong Kong.
• Tom (6/5): Nice hostel, easy find foods and transport. - Quite a pleasure experience with cheap price plus all basic need almost available such as WIFI, TV, hot drink. A good location for finding foodstuff and ease of transport to various location. Friendly staffs and provided security guard at entrance lift.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - toilet is poor, room is small
• Andrew (8/5): Central Location - Friendly staff and a great location with easy access to MTR and buses. The room was small as expected but we didnt spend much time in the room. great place if you are planning to spend all day out exploring and just need a place to shower and sleep.
• Yvonnews2016 (8/5): Great Location, comfortable stay - Ah Shan Hostel only 2 mins walk from Mongkok MTR station. The room is small but cleanliness & comfort of the bed is above average. The downside is we stayed 8 nights. We can only connect their wifi in our room on the 1st nite (which is supposed to be provided in our room). From 2nd nite onwards, either no wifi can be connected (either in our room or lobby area) or sometimes we only can get the wifi connected at their lobby. So this is the most disappointed part of our stay.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Good Location - Location was just nice if wanted to be near to MTR (Mongkok). So this Ah Shan Hostel was located near to this station(3mins walk). Accommodation - don't expect too much - overall - still acceptable but please bring your own toiletries and towel, unless you ok to pay HKD10 for the towel.
• AC (6/5): Great Location, Small Room - The hostel is great in term of location, but the overall condition of the building is not good, too old building and the lift is slow. Extremely small room as expected, bedsheet is clean but we stayed for 6 nights the bedsheet and blanket never change. The daily room cleaning is not up to expectation. toilet is untouch.
• Chia Ching (8/5): Good for short stay - At this price point, the hostel is consider very acceptable. Nothing fancy about the room, its very cramp, utilize every inch of space and give you all you need for a short stay. May feel claustrophobic sometimes. No smell no pest but not sparkling clean either. Best thing about this hostel is the location.
• Alynn (4/5): Acceptable - The building is old and can be a little scary at night. The rooms are decent in terms of cleanliness and comfort. The Wi-Fi is almost non-existent. The water heater takes very long to get started. However, considering the price, this hostel is acceptable.
