Thanks a bunch for sharing your feedback! Mind if I ask what seems to be the issue in the room? We're all ears and ready to make improvements. Also, could you let us know where exactly the water leak is happening? We'll get right on it!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
