Guest Reviews
- Rey Anne (8/5): -
- Jinte (1/5): If you love yourself don't come here - Slechte locatie
Geen hygiëne vond vreemde pasta achtige slierten terug in de lavabo.
Staat niet duidelijk aangeven.
Enge liften.
Super harde bedden, je ligt nog zachter op de grond.
- Stanislav (10/5): - отличный вариант
- YANG (8/5): 总体来说还是比较比较满意! - 地理位置很好,很干净,也很好找到。 卫生间确实有点小,空调遥控用起来不太方便。
- Chi Ho (1/5): 極差!訂咗房後,連門口都入吾到 - 訂咗房冇比開門密碼,電話冇人聽,客服吾覆!
- Wojtek1234xd (9/5): - You choose this accomodation for the price. You can also feel how local people live. Room is small, but enough for few days. There is a bathroom, of course small. You get what you pay for
- Kyle Patrick (10/5): -
- YUJU (4/5): -
- 王 (5/5): -
- wenlong (10/5): -
- 梓萱 (6/5): -
- Venus (7/5): Worth price for the stay and walking distance for the transports - A lot of restaurants nearby Currently under refurbishment for whole building, dusty and noisy
- YINNING (5/5): - 入住的時候發生點小插曲,導致無法入住,不過房東人很好,有馬上協助Booking退費給我們 最一開始是用whatsapp聯繫,後來到旅館後,好像一直都聯繫不上,剛好遇到隔壁房客也在聯繫房東,才知道都是wechat聯絡比較方便
- Penszki Gyöngyi (1/5): Soha többé - Egyedül a környék Kezdjük azzal hogy a tulaj azt írta hogy a szomszéd épületben felújítanak és elnézést a zajért. Nos nem a szomszéd épület volt hanem a szállást is beleértve az egész tömb. A szoba a képhez képest sötét volt. Az ablak amiért többet kellett fizetni a szobáért nem ért semmit. A napfény nem jött be rajta, kinyitni sem lehetett, de a külső hangok bejöttek rajta és este egy rsflektorfény úgy bevilagotott hogy nem lehetett aludni tőle. A légkondicionáló penészes volt, a plafon is penészes volt és a fürdőszoba is. A törölköző ami a képen volt az nem volt. Egy instant eldobható "törölközőt" adnak. A kishűtő jó hogy volt, viszont iszonyat hangosan zúgott.
- 彥名 (1/5): 這間可能是我這輩子碰到最差的旅館,抵達現場的時候發現現場霉味極重,現場狀況與照片完全不符,冷氣是故障的,與商家溝通無果後只能當晚另行尋找酒店居住,後續要求商家退費後都不讀不回,希望大家不要在碰到同樣的遭遇 -
- YANG (9/5): - 空间很大,性价比很高。酒店位置也很好。远超同类型酒店的体验
- Li ting (5/5): - 發霉 脫膠 冷氣厚厚一層灰塵
- Katherine (7/5): -
- Noor (8/5): Did the job. - Hong Kong is famous for its micro hostels - you get what you pay for. I was content as it met my basic requirements - cleanliness, quite in the evenings. The host was prompt and helpful also. There is ongoing construction work at the building which did not disrupt me at all in the evenings but only during day time rest periods. I feel as though things like these should be mentioned beforehand and warrant an appropriate discount. They should be made into a policy on the booking.com. This is simply constructive criticism as the owner isn’t obliged.
- JUNSHENG (8/5): -
- 宇鸣 (9/5): 经济实惠,性价比高,地理位置好,服务周到。 - 申请提前入住后刚好碰到老板,老板人非常热情非常好,接待了我们并与我们讲解入住的注意事项。地理位置不错,有两个电梯可以抵达酒店楼层,出门就是马路边,徒步到星光大道只需五分钟,楼下有很多酒吧,适合年轻人居住。 缺少衣架,入住时马桶水泵刚好在维修,空调可能会有点嘈杂。
- Nadja (1/5): -
- 薏芳 (1/5): -
- Wenceslao (9/5): Superb -
- Francois (7/5): Good for a low budget short stay in Tsim Sha Tsui - In spite of the extremely small size of the room... all bare minimum equipments are there and working properly. The location is convenient in Tsim Sha Tsui. Close to Subway, Bus lines, not too far from Kowloon Ferry and Airport Express. Good for a low budget short stay. The room I had was much smaller than I expected (8m2), but to be honest, it was clearly indicated on the website at the time of reservation.
- Raeeq (5/5): The place is good for value for money. Not looking for entertainment. - The recommendation and correspondence were very helpful in finding the place to stay and made it easy to locate the place.
- Elisabete (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nico (10/5): may 10 to 13 - cleanliness. accesible location. great host! highly recommended! none
- Forest (5/5): Passable -
- Sathiyamoorthy (6/5): Pleasant - Location Room size
- Verena (4/5): Disappointing -
- Lyca (7/5): Good -
- Shilpa (6/5): Pleasant -
- Jasmine (4/5): Disappointing - Good size room for Hong Kong, comfy and good location I had to move to a different hotel for the last night of my stay as their was a gas leak above the bathroom which caused an awful smell meaning I couldn’t use the bathroom and couldn’t sleep well
- Jewell (7/5): Good - Actually, the room is good, however the elevator is not really good at it is as I am expecting.
- Maria (8/5): Very good -
- Ulla (6/5): Pleasant - Location. Room was very small. Barely room for two persons - two people could not walk around in the room at the same time, too close to the tv to watch television.
- Yun (9/5): Comfortable - Staff's warmth A little small space
- Audrey (2/5): I was expecting for the worst already, because i've read the review before booking. But it fits the budget and i onl - The location The dodgy building, the filthy room
- Thangaraj (7/5): Good -
- Rafaela (6/5): Pleasant -
- Apryl (6/5): Pleasant - The location very convenient to everywhere Since we are a couple, we were separated because their were 2 single bed. And the room is too small.
- Irina (9/5): Great location, clear directions, smooth check-in, nice stay overall. - Location, decor, USB converter Noise from outside, size of the room
- Popo (8/5): Overall is good. - Location is very good if you looking for Tsim Sha Tsui Area, alot shopping and food surrounding. But you have to accept old building and small room. Room cleanliness need to improve.
- Frances (10/5): Love to stay here again. - Nice and clean None
- Jenalyn (9/5): It was superb - Room - tiny (well maybe the usual rooms you can find in Hongkong)
cleanliness - It is really clean.
Location - I like the location the best. Surprisingly, it's peaceful. Not in the middle very busy road. The main road, then, you'll just walk a little and there but you can it's peaceful. It's very near the bus going to the airport and the subway. Unlike the other part, it's very lively at night, in this area, it's peaceful at night.
WIFI - really fast.
Customer Service - It's a self-service check-in. I was confused at first however; I was able to contact the owner/operator and they allowed me to check in early. I did appreciate that. not much maybe just the room as it's tiny but later on we were able to adjust. Tiny room cozy room.
- Ming (7/5): Good -
- Nacchiappan (7/5): Good -
- Lanqing (9/5): Superb - Very good location, reasonable price, warm hearted staff:)
Extremely clean
- Maipato (5/5): Passable -
- Sandra (7/5): Good - Location superb Bed bug.
- Ryan (9/5): Superb - I like to location. It's near everything such as convenience stores and restaurant. Near Nathan Road as well. About the room, I like the space of it. It is bigger that some of the hostels/hotels in HK. Despite being near some bars and rooms being close to one another, it is quiet. I just think the CR is too small, though it is common in HK. The heater and the shelf near the bowl might cause head bumps so just be careful.
- Anjuli (1/5): Bad -
- Rochelle (8/5): Very good -
- Emily (7/5): Good - Self-check in. Good location. Small room. No place for suitcase. Small bathroom.
- Jelly (9/5): Comfy place for an affordable price - I like that the place is comfy enough to have a proper rest. The electricity was on and off on our last day. I don't have any idea why because it was fine the rest of our stay.
- Magdalena (1/5): Extremely disappointed - Location Unfortunately, I found this accommodation and advertising on the site were extremely misleading and did not reflect what I thought I booked. The condition of the room was extremely poor. It was not maintained, had an old/humidity smell, it’s run down, wall paper falling off the wall, dust on top of appliances, tape was used to amend damaged wall paper, frames etc… and found left over “items” from past guests. The air conditioning unit was “repaired” with tape and tissue, the boiler in the bathroom is actually also the shower room but the most worrying was the fire detector covered with a plastic bag.
- Daniel (9/5): Superb - All I can say the location is perfect and exceed my expectation in all aspects.
- Momen (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is good except room is sooooooo small but was fine for me
It’s 2 meters wide and 5 meters length approx
- K (7/5): Wonderful location - It is very close from the airport bus stop and to the subway station. If you need just a place to sleep in the center of the city, there is no problem. Air condition works very well, but it is a bit noisy. There is a low table and two single sofas. A higher small table and chair would be much better.
- April (10/5): Exceptional -
- Francis (6/5): Pleasant - location are near to MTR.. the room is clean.. room is too small for more than 2 persons.. the location is noisy because there's a lot of bar surrounding the area..
- Issabelle (8/5): amazing! will definitely book again for out hong kong trip! - near stores and subways the elevator is scary
- Penghui (7/5): Good - Good location (but not easy to find) staff is kind and sent detailed information before arrival. a bit small and you can hear others easily.
- G (10/5): Exceptional - Good location. One of my best choices
- Maximilian (6/5): Tiny old cabin of a flat without comfort but in decent location. - Location is good in central Kowloon. 5 min walk to metro station, 20 min to the ferry. The Wifi was stable. There was not much more to like about this flat. The room is super tiny. The beds are very short, I'm not very tall but with my 1.8m my feet were outside the bed and since the single beds are rectangular to each other, I accidentally kicked my partner in the night. That's how tiny the flat is. The state of the flat is also improvable, the ceiling in the bathroom got a big hole to the outside and there's mould in the bathroom. The bathroom itself is also very tiny so that shower and toilet are one wet cell.
The room gets very hot so you need to use the AC constantly, there's no way around it. Loud through the night and direct air from the AC is bad for the lungs.
The flat should only be chosen for its location. Do not expect any comfort.
- Xiaojie (5/5): Value of this place is not good . - Location is good . Room is not what it showed in the booking page . No real windows on street side to get fresh air . Asked to chance room . Answers were very late after I checked out . No water provided , no microwave .
- Stan (9/5): Great Location , Friendly owners - I love the location. Everything is nearby with restaurants and museums and the harbor.
Owner : very friendly and accommodating .
Price : reasonable for the area.
Air cond : worked great.
WiFi : No problem.
Check In : easy and the instructions are clear, even though there is no receptionist. It’s self check in.
Furnishing :I like the 2 cute bean bags and the small fridge. Not the fault of the owner , I wish I had reserved a room with windows. I reserved a cheaper room that didn’t have natural light coming in.
I think a big person or 2 persons will feel a bit cramp . Hong Kong is a place where you would want to spend outside of the room visiting all these places and eating all these delicious food. The room is really a place to sleep and to shower.
- Ip (9/5): Comfortable stay and clean stay. Good value - The location is excellent Not much
- Estanis (8/5): Pleasant and comfortable once you are in your room. - Quiet and comfortable room. Handy location, a stroll from the Star Ferry The building where it's located seems quite dilapidated, and the communal corridors are unpleasant. I had just lost my phone so I had no access to checking-in details. I had to ask random people, and no-one knew about the place, even inside the building
- Jelou (10/5): Exceptional - This is a self-service check in but everything is well provided by the landlord. We are glad we booked this hotel. The room is safe and clean. There is cctv and guard going to the room. We enjoyed our stay in Hongkong. Thank you so much.
- Xuanyi (9/5): Superb -
- John (10/5): Good place! - The neighborhood is super nice. Easy access to the Ferry and Nathan Roads
- Khristian (1/5): Bad - I recently stayed at this hostel attracted by its prime location. However, my experience fell far short of expectations.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by a stale odor that permeated throughout the room. Despite attempts to air it out, the unpleasant smell persisted, making my stay uncomfortable.
The state of the bathroom was particularly disappointing. It was evident that cleanliness was not a priority, with grime and dirt accumulating in corners and on surfaces. The lack of maintenance left much to be desired, detracting from the overall experience.
While the location offered convenience, the subpar condition of the accommodation overshadowed any positives. I hope that management takes steps to address these issues to ensure a more pleasant stay for future guests.
- Laurence (4/5): Budget accommodation. Will spend a bit more next time for a room in which I can fit - Convenient to restaurants and bars in TST Could barely fit in bathroom. No place to sit. Bed occupies 90% of the space. Window was open on arrival and the humidity resulted in wet everything in the room. Sheet dried out by the time I checked out 2 days later. Simply didn't live up to the description.
- Yi (5/5): Won’t consider this again although the location was superb - Strategic location, quiet neighbourhood Slept on a bed and was bitten by unknown insects over my right thigh. Then I changed to another bed and didn’t dare to sleep under the sheets. Couldn’t sleep well the whole night with the cold and a thin towel as blanket.
- Rattikarn (8/5): Very good - Location is near MRT exit and restaurant.
Staff is nice and helpful.
Room size is quite small but enough for sleep. The complements are very good such as shampoo shower gel toothbrush and towel.
- Razziiberrii (9/5): Good tight budget hostel with supurb location - Great location! I really like to stay in Tsim Sha Tsui area. it's so conveinient and easy to connect to many places I visited.
Room was good enough for me to stay alone. it's clean and comfy. (the bed is a bit to high haha)
Self check-in and out was very easy as well and I loved it. Just the bathroom is so tiny and I couldn't use the warm water (maybe it's just me that I don't know how to turn it on haha)
and it would be better if there is a hot & cool water dispenser at the hostel
- Joanna (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay. - Property is accessible. Walking distance from kowloon park, victoria harbour, TST train station, shops, bars and restaurants. Rates are affordable, worth every single penny. We have stayed in for 5 days.
Hosts are very responsive via whatsapp. We have also met one of the hosts and he is very nice. We stayed in 2 different rooms and both rooms are cozy and clean. They have electric kettle, aircon, shower heater, TV, clean towels, linens, tissue. If you are planning to stay in Hongkong, consider staying in big wave. Especially when you are looking for an affordable place to stay. You dont have to spend much especially when you are out most of the time.
Smooth check in and check out process. You can also leave your luggage inside the flat. They can accommodate early check in as long as the room is ready. If not, you may simply leave your luggage. Hallways of the building are not so clean but the entire flat is clean. Elevator is kinda small.
- Pathamon (7/5): It's ok - - Very fast response staff
- Clear instructions for both the place address and check-in process
- Cute decorations
- Universal plug socket - The building is old and messy
- No free bottles of water
- Too hot water which can't adjust
- Too small bathroom
- Sarah (10/5): Great location and a cosy clean space. - Great location, couldn’t ask for more in that regard. Very safe walking to and from alone at night. The room was spacious, cosy and comfortable, and accurately presented in the pictures. Host was always available for communication if needed but prior to the arrival I received detailed instructions.
- Filipa (6/5): Affordable accommodation in great location - The location was great, near restaurants and public transport. It was busy outside but quiet when in the room. The fridge was smelly, no water was provided and there was no contact with staff when there.
- Ruttatammanoon (10/5): Cozy and Clean - Cozy, tidy and clean. It locate in the center of city which close to MRT, bar and restaurant, and shopping center. Also, easy to catch the bus to airport. Not thing.
- Kornnisa (8/5): The door lock might be confuse, by the way landlord is very kind to help about the lock - The room big enough for large luguage, air con is very cool. The room is quite at night though surrounding are convenience very near K11 and metro. The elevator quite slow
- Nadia (10/5): Big Wave Travel exceeded our expectations with a clean and cozy room, and smooth overall experience! - The room felt extremely clean! The self check-in and out process was extremely smooth and easy. The host did a brief check in on us, but there was a lot of privacy in general. The bathroom was very small, it may be hard to take a proper shower in there. But, the positives definitely outweigh the negative!
- Yanmei (10/5): Exceptional - The room is very clean and tidy, the facilities are very complete, the bathroom has no smell, the whole is very good and comfortable Overall very good, no particular dislike points
- Marcus (9/5): great location, for leisure or work is recommended - the location is fantastic, small cozy room. internet speeds are great to download movies and even have teleconference with the office
- Marcus (9/5): The location is perfect to get around as there are great connections to MRT and Busses - The location is perfect to get around as there are great connections to MRT and Busses. The neighborhood is near many eateries, and places to explore. The rooms are small but sufficient for me and my partner to stay.
- Kent (10/5): Love it, I'll be back !!! - return to HK and stay at my favorite place when in Hong Kong. Near to shops and transport, recommended to anyone looking for a clean, quiet and value for money location. waiting for the lift cause slow
- Sarah (10/5): Great cosy space in the heart of TST, perfect for explore what Hong Kong has to offer. - Great location, easy to find and gain access to the MTR. Cosy and comfortable with very responsive staff. Lots of natural light in the room. Room was spacious and had plenty of space to store my own things. Was able to leave my luggage behind after check out while exploring the city before my flight. Only thing it isn’t set up for is social interaction with other guests like a hostel, but perfect if you want privacy and to do your own thing.
