The café/coffeeshop/book shop/design studio downstairs is great on its own, with nice breakfast options (make sure you’re not in a rush, it’s a small kitchen and demand is very high) and a cozy area to hang out at.

Pat, the owner, visited the shop often and was nice to have a conversation with.

No complaints about the dorm room, though I’d be mindful about the bed I pick next time as it can be somewhat chilly and loud near A/C units at night. Bed itself was great, I got decent sleep there with warm blanket to counter the cool of the A/C and a quality pillow (rare!). Handy individual outlet and shelf.

Thanks to directions provided it was not at all difficult to find the place. Getting to the other areas of the city required 7-10 minute walk and taking the always-crowded MTR, which isn’t fun when it’s crowded and hot outside. (I haven’t conquered HK taxis and public buses.) On the other hand the location turned out to be good for electronics shopping, relevant streets are all close to the Mong Kok MTR station.
