Perfect location for exploring Kowloon
Surrounded by more eating, drinking and shopping options than seems possible, it's easy to see why so many visitors have been bowled over by this hostel's incredibly handy location.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Dorms and private rooms are tiny
Nearly all of the visitors who've stayed at his hotel have remarked on the ultra-compact accommodations offered here. The en-suite bathrooms are incredibly small too.
negative:
Wi-Fi can be irritating
Many travellers have been less-than-impressed by the free Wi-Fi offered here as it requires users to go through a convoluted logging-on process via a web page. Unfortunately, it has a habit of periodically disconnecting, thereby forcing users to go through the whole process again.
negative:
Lifts only run one way
If you're on the third floor and you want to go up and see your friend on the fifth floor, you'll have to go down to the ground floor in one lift (the ‘descend-only' one) and then go up to the fifth in another (the ‘ascend-only' one). Unsurprisingly, very few visitors appreciated this set-up.
