HOSTEL TST

Overall, the hostel was fine for solo travelling and was good value for the price. The location is convenient and central, making it easy to get around Hong Kong. Check-in and check-out were both easy and straightforward. The room was cleaned every day, including the bins being emptied, and fresh towels were provided daily. There was water in the entrance hall to drink. The hostel also provided useful basics such as a toothbrush, cups and shower gel, which was a nice touch. However, I would advise solo travellers, especially female travellers, to be cautious when staying here. The hostel is located inside Chungking Mansion, and on several occasions while walking through the building I was approached and pestered by men. On some occasions, they became quite aggressive and would not leave me alone. Because of this, I did not feel particularly safe walking through the building alone and would recommend avoiding arriving back very late at night if you are travelling on your own. The location itself is good, but finding the hostel can be quite confusing because Chungking Mansion is a large building with different sections. I recommend researching exactly which section and floor your hostel is in before arriving. My Hostel TST was on the 9th floor in Section D, which I felt was not made particularly clear online. Overall, it is a cheap and convenient option for solo travellers, but I would recommend being aware of the surroundings and taking extra precautions if travelling alone.

A fantastic budget-friendly find right in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui. This hostel is an ideal base for solo travelers looking to explore Hong Kong without breaking the bank. The building itself is older and typical of the area, featuring a bustling mix of shops downstairs, so don't expect a luxury exterior. Inside, the room is definitely small, but it is cozy, clean, and perfectly comfortable for a solo traveler. Location is unbeatable—situated just steps away from the MTR station and local bus stops, making transit anywhere in the city effortless. You are surrounded by endless shops, restaurants, and major malls, and it's an easy walk down to the ferry port, Victoria Harbour, and the Avenue of Stars. The thoughtful amenities really stand out for a budget stay, including reliable air conditioning, complimentary shampoo and conditioner, a hair dryer, and a handy water dispenser to keep you refreshed. Offering incredible value for money with top-tier convenience, this is easily one of the best practical spots for a solo adventure in Hong Kong. Highly recommended!

Not going to lie, I was not expecting the stay I had; but, it was a good experience. First of all, arriving later in the day made it even more special. After navigating the corridors of the first floor, to eventually stumble upon the elevator in the right block (E) of the building, I was swiftly taken to the 9th floor and made myself at home. The room I stayed in, albeit quite small, is normal for Hong Kong. I managed to fit on the bed diagonally (6’ 1” ~ 183 cm). The bathroom and shower are one and the same. There’s AC, hot water, and a mini fridge. If you want to be near the city at a good price, come to TST. Trust, when you get to block E, and look at the directory, TST doesn’t show on the 9th floor, only 3 other hotel names, ‘Unique’ etc. just go up, my advice.

L’hôtel est situé sur la plus grande avenue de Kowloon, un emplacement vraiment pratique pour visiter Hong Kong. Pour le reste, il n’y a pas grand-chose à dire — correct dans l’ensemble, sans plus.
