Runway 1331 is a recently opened, large youth hostel and youth incubator facility sited on 6 acres in
Kowloon, occupying the former Kai Tak Airport runway, and surrounded by the Victoria Harbour. It is a
transformation of the Kai Tak Community Isolation Facility, which was constructed under the Central
Government’s support in 2022.
Runway 1331 offers its residents a unique cultural and creative ecosystem for local, Mainland China and
international young people to engage in cultural exchange, entrepreneurship and talent development.
Spacious guest rooms are furnished and include en-suite bathrooms. There are also cooking and washing
facilities, exercise and sports facilities, shared workspaces, performance venues and outdoor activity
areas catering to youth interests. Shuttle bus service between the hostel and nearest MTR station will also
be provided.
"I stayed at the first room.
The location is next to the cruise terminal. The accommodation provides a shuttle bus to and from Kai Tak MTR Station Exit A, but there are no bus stop signs. It would be helpful to have a simple walking map showing how to walk from the MTR station to the bus stop.
If you miss the shuttle bus, you can also take Citybus 22D or 22M across the street for a fee.
The room didn't have a refrigerator or hairdryer, but it was fairly clean. Soundproofing was average during the day, but very quiet at night.
The reception staff were friendly and responsive. Other staff were also very nice, especially the male maintenance staff. The security guards and housekeeping staff were also very friendly.
The grounds are large, and only parts are fenced off, allowing outsiders to easily enter and even occupy facilities like the basketball court, affecting guests' use. Security needs to be strengthened, and more staff should patrol and check if guests are staying at the hostel. Hopefully, the hostel can manage this aspect better.
The room is of hostel-level quality, so overall I was satisfied and would stay again if given the chance."
