One
thing immediately came to mind when I entered the dorm room and saw the layout:
those overnight sleeper trains in China, except that we are in a building now
and there is enough space to move around. Even the blue and white combination
of mattress and bed frame is reminiscent of those two overnight train rides.
Each bed is equipped with a small lamp and three sockets for your gadgets. The
room is a 20-bed dorm, which means there is little privacy to enjoy here. There
is a bathroom each on both ends of the room, which were actually clean and not
that cramped. In fact, I found it rather spacious for a dorm bathroom. The room
also has a sink and counter but no cooking equipment whatsoever.
The
location of this hostel makes it quite accessible, right smack at the middle of
Causeway Bay along the very busy Hennessy Road. You will not run out of
transportation options because the trams, buses, taxis, and MTR’s Causeway Bay
station are just a stone’s throw away. As for food and shopping, you are bound
to find a related establishment anywhere you turn, so that really is a
non-issue. I think the main deterrent would be the price, which is rather steep
in Southeast Asian standards but pretty much standard in Hong Kong, and even cheap given how the place is not shabby at all. In any case, if room
sharing is not your thing, you would probably find a cramped single room
somewhere in Kowloon within the same price range.
