Youth Hostels in Hong Kong

When i stayed in Hong Kong i stayed in the New China Guest House, Kowloon Bay, it was for the main reason that it was cheap but also because it is in a prime location of Hong Kong, right amidst the action. You'll find dozens upon dozens of hostels in the Kowloon Bay area and to be honest there's not a great deal of difference between any of them.

After travelling around the world last year, visiting 29 countries and staying in hostels in most of them, my experience of hostels in Hong Kong was the worst I experienced. From looking at various websites and hostel world we found the following hostel which was described as "This is a renowned hostel in the heart of the city, with newly renovated rooms and in-room facilities bringing you to a cosy home away from home" Ok that souds great and it also scores highly for ratings on the hostel world website (ratings given for cleanliness, Character, security, location, staff and fun). The hostel was also recommended by an AA travel ...  Read the complete review
