The hostel is in an okay location, with plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. It is also close by the the night market. I got the airport transfer bus from the airport for 35hkd which was equivalent to £3.50gbp, and it took under an hour. My way back I took a different airport transfer bus which cost more somehow, 42hkd, which was roughly £4.20. The ferry port isn’t too far and costs 6.50hkd which is an under 70pence gbp or under a euro/usd.
Now the negatives sadly, the hostel is quite run down and cleanliness is an issue. My room had severe damp issues, my bed had huge patches of damp and it caused me to not sleep properly at all! The shower room and separate toilet were terrible and I chose to not shower there, thought I’d shower at the airport lounge vip as that would be cleaner and safer. The toilet seat was broken and it was a hazard to even think about using it! The shared common area for the hostel is tiny, in the same room as the check-in/check-out reception area, minimal seats available. The kitchen area is in the corner, I had to use a tumbler glass to have my own coffee, as they didn’t have mugs or proper cups. I’ve stayed in hostels before and had a great experience. Sadly, this place was a disaster and I wouldn’t use them again :/
