The location is great, since it's only a few minutes from Mong Kok MTR station. Mong Kok itself is a pretty interesting area with a lot of great restaurants nearby. There's a direct bus to the airport so it's also very convenient for tourists. From the MTR it's only a short trip to fun areas like Tsim Sha Tsui and Central. If all you need is a cheap, basic room with minimal amenities, this is your place. Just keep your expectations in check.

The room is part of a hostel in a large run-down building with many other residents and businesses. At times it was a bit crowded, but in general it felt very safe. Our room itself was clean but very basic, probably at or below the level of a cheap hostel. Be aware that the shower is a typical Hong Kong one, which means that the shower head is mounted directly above the toilet! The air conditioner is powerful and kept the Hong Kong heat at bay with ease.

We had a bit of a hiccup when checking in, because the staff at the front desk spoke almost no English. Eventually someone who spoke better English came, and explained that they were moving us to a smaller room, because there were only two of us. The room we were moved to was smaller but similar to the one shown. It was right off the lobby so there wasn't much privacy. The staff members were all really nice, but it was just a bit confusing. The host Hau Kuen was very good about replying to messages, though.

All in all this place isn't terrible considering the price and location. Just keep your expectations in check if you plan on staying there.
