HK 81 Hostel

Amazing hostel!! The six-person backpacker room is clean and spacious with AC, toilet and shower all in working order. Water dispenser on site too. In a convenient location literally steps away from Tsim Sha Tsui metro station. Incredible value for Hong Kong. Highly recommend!

Good and relax

You get what you pay for, I guess, especially in Hong Kong. The location was good, quite central, but overall the stay felt a bit odd (though I think that had more to do with my roommates than the hostel itself). Cleanliness was average, but again, I think that was mostly due to my roommates. I shared one shower and one toilet with the people in my room. And I’m not sure how often the facilities were cleaned, but every morning someone came by to empty the bin and restock toilet paper, so I trust the hostel itself maintaines it regularly. I stayed for 2 nights, and honestly most of the strange experiences came from my roommates. There was a lot of noise in the middle of the night, and I don’t mean just snoring, just weird noices (sometimes loud), which made sleeping difficult. I woke up several times because of it. Another example: I bought some food from the store, but someone took it without asking, which felt really weird. I don’t mind sharing, but I do appreciate being asked first. These are just a few examples; in those couple of days I experienced even stranger things. However, that’s not really the hostel’s fault, as every guest is different. The location itself was a bit hard to find, since there were no clear signs outside. Eventually I found it, and check-in went smoothly. The staff was helpful :). One last note: there is no common area, so just something to be aware of, whether that matters depends on your personal preference. On the positive side, you can do your laundry for free, which was super nice and convenient!
