Sorry, I forgot to take photos of the room, but it was very comfortable and clean. The bathroom was also clean. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The location is very strategic and close to the MTR station. Overall, this hotel is definitely worth it, and if I come back to Hong Kong, I would stay here again.

We were able to find the hostel since there was a guide video how to get there so it was really easy to find. Also it was close to all food shops even the 7-11. It was just across the hostel. The staff was very nice and accommodating. For its price, I think it's not a bad place to stay since we were out all day. The maintenance staff also cleans the rooms every day. We even had a little chitchat. The day of our check out we were also able to leave our luggage for a few hours for free. It's an awesome place to stay. Thank you so much Ah Shan Hostel!

Customer service was great! The location of the hostel was also perfect since it was so near the ladies market, and also the Mongkok MTR station. We took a bus from the airport to the hostel, and we did not have any issues locating it. There is a currency exchange teller near the entrance, and there is also a street food vendor at the corner.

This company evidently controls many units in this building, and I can only speak about my unit - which may be better than some of the others. Inside my unit was very clean and everything looked new. Everything worked very well - especially good A/C and shower - Wifi good. There was a refrigerator and hot water dispenser outside the unit in the hallway - small room - no room inside for them anyway. It was exactly as in the picture - with a nice window and view and all. The two young ladies on the staff were always smiling and asking if anything was needed. The 16 story apartment building is old and the elevators are small and at times crowded - but not a big problem. The MTR train is a couple short blocks away. The area is good - lively and safe. Not really 24 hour reception when I arrived. I was not carrying a local cell phone. Luckily, security was able to contact someone to let me in at midnight. The only complaint really was other guests who make noise and slam doors late at night - management cannot control these inconsiderates. Overall a very good stay - thank you.

I booked Ah Shen because a friend of mine recommended it, saying it's clean. For this price, I didn't expect much. Location is extremely convenient for eateries, shopping and public transportation. However, they posted a commitment sheet inside the room, claiming that if guests stay there for more than four days, they will clean the room and change towels. We stayed for 10 days, and none of these have been implemented. We even have to ask to get a new garbage bag for our room. It's better if they don't make such a claim.

Don't stay here. There are plenty of other places in the same price bracket. Awful place to stay and over priced for what it is. Had a twin room and there were some sort of midges crawling around on top of the other bed. These are flats converted into tiny rooms. No windows. Seriously look either.

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.
