Yesinn @YMT Youth Hostel

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 :/

Terrible hostel. The renovation is so poor. The ceiling is covered with yellow water stains. The shower in mixed dormitory not even equipped with shower curtain. I stayed in a room with 3 man and when taking shower is so confusing if anyone would open the door. The aircon is constantly on, and the guests don’t have aircon control to adjust the swing or temperature. The air flow was directed right on my upper bed. I asked to switch it off, the reception guy arrived with a remote control and said he wouldn’t switch off as other guests will feel no air circulation. But the window is also opened and you can’t close it. and it was only 19 degrees at night. Would be good to inform the guests about these in advance. On top of all, instead of nice apology or nice manner, the reception guy was rude and not willing to help.

The airport bus (A29 I think) was a 2 minute walk from the hostel which is located 10 metres from a 7-eleven and has ground floor security and elevator access. Luggage storage is free and the building is very secure with elevator access to the doomed floors being accessible only by key card. Check-in at 15:00. There is a kitchen, though cutlery is not available (only to purchase, and likewise water). I booked at a very low advanced price, so I consider it good value, however, prices closer to the date of staying seems high for what you receive in return. I didn't think the staff were particularly welcoming or helpful and the place didn't really have any atmosphere. If you're briefly in HK and would rather atmosphere, this is not the place and so spending 5-10 more would likely get a much better experience. No real qualms as the rooms were clean, but for some, it would be rather dull.

Excellent location in that it is near alot of shops and restaurants. I liked how it has a place where guests can sit down and tables to do things. I like how it has a kitchen where guests can cook their own food and has filtered water where guests can fill their own bottles. Hotel was very fair about things that you can and cannot do. Room was very spacious considering how limited and small Hong Kong is. I was in room 1003 on the 10th floor. The only bad thing that I had to deal with at this place was this long term stay guests that was probably around his late 50's and early 60's that was behaving irrationally towards me when I was taking a shower by knocking on the door and using swear words saying I was taking too long when I just got in there and started. I only had to wash my hair and face which wasn't too long. It's not like he had to use the shower next after me and it's not his frekkin place. He must be dealing with a lot of personnel problems that's probably driving him nuts and causing him to become crazy and irrational like this. I know he's dealing with health problems because I overheard him talking to one of the workers when I was doing my own thing on my bed and he was talking about some operation he had to go through. I believe his religion was Catholic. Must be stressful for him having to deal with the high cost of living in Hong Kong.

Cheap and good. If I go to Hong Kong again, I will definitely stay here for sure!

Nice location nice accomodation recommended by my some of my friend
