Yesinn @YMT Youth Hostel

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

So now there are long termers in almost every room. Especially 8 bed mixed. It means the room will have too many things in there and people with late night or other habits. Making it so difficult to get a decent sleep. The staff at the front desk is absolutely basic. In the sense they are disinterested and I don't know if they are picked from mainland or they have become like that due to Hong Kong, but they lack customer service and language skills. It needs to improve. Some rooms require renovation and so many long term lodgers that look like homeless.

Location is very good and near MTR station. Badly, the air conditioner seems like not cool enough.

We had a nice Trip. Our room was on the 22nd floor. The area was not the most clean one but it's in a good location and incredibly cheap.

Pros: The staffs are very nice and helpful. They speak good English. The price is amazingly reasonable. The location is super nice and convenient to travel around or find something to eat. I feel safe as a solo woman traveling alone. I asked to upgrade the room to double bed, payed some extra. My room has a window, nice view. I like the size, it’s compact, only two steps you can get to the bed. Two clothe hangers. I only have backpack so it’s enough space for me to unpack. They have a hair dryer and towels for single room. But my room the hair dryer is not working. No toothbrush, no shower cap, no drinking water- but you can buy water from the checkin counter. Cons: The room is not squeaky clean. The bathroom has some mold on the sink and door but compared to the price and location… no problem at all. The window has a crack I guess? They put some tape over it. Don’t worry if you hear some weird cracking noise from the window during your stay. It’s just nothing. My door lock is not working on my first night- I sleep just like that— lol nothing happened. On the second night the staff came and checked (I didn’t tell the staff about broken door lock tho. They fixed it and it works fine on my second day. The air conditioning works fine but on my last day the water is coming out I have to put the towel on the floor. In conclusion: Worth your money for short stay. If you see it as a place to sleep. So worth it. If you’re finding hotel for perfect leisure, spend some more for somewhere else.

Great value for money and a great budget alternative to Chungking Mansions. Communal refrigerator, microwave and kitchen access are very useful. Do note there are some extra costs for sundry itemes, like towels.
