Not gonna lie, pretty impressed by my stay here.

I stayed at The Mahjong for 3 nights in July on a solo trip in Hong Kong. For starters, even though it wasn't my first time in the city, the directions given to arrive at the hostel were extremely clear. Managed to get there without hiccups.

Accessibility also isn't an issue - there are several buses to the city and to MTR stations from the bus stops in front of the hostel.

Arriving at the reception, I was greeted by what can only be described as a rare, genuine desire to provide stellar service. Ask and you shall receive - the hosts are gracious and informative, readily giving you clear and useful advice on what to eat, where to go and how to get there.

What was really exceptional, though, were the well-thought out rooms. The restroom always had dry floors. There's also a box container in each shower stall for you to store your towel and clean clothes while showering, so they don't get wet. Additionally, for the price people pay for hostels, I think most understand that toiletries and amenities, like shampoo, soap, toothpaste etc, aren't provided. And yet, The Mahjong did.

In the dorm, the individual pods were clean and comfortable. There is a safe provided for each, together with a power socket. Wifi is not accessible from the rooms, only from the reception/lounge area. Which is a-okay, since the super speedy connection more than made up for it.

In summary: thoughtful service that goes above and beyond. The cherry on top of my stay in Hong Kong. 11/10 would recommend.
