2-Star Hotels in Hong Kong, China

Wow, I was really impressed by the thoughtful touches the moment I walked in! For a central Hong Kong location, this hostel offers pretty good value for money. I did my homework before coming (once in Spain, I didn't plan ahead and almost got pickpocketed!). While Hong Kong's streets and alleys are narrow and prices are high, the experience here is much better than the guesthouses I stayed at in Korea and Japan. I can even say this in my (bad) Cantonese – I'm a huge TVB fan! The transportation is super convenient; just take the elevator from Tsim Sha Tsui Exit D1 directly to the 13th floor, and the front desk is right there (it's very noticeable, and the chubby guy at the front desk is quite cute). I carefully checked my booking details before arriving and contacted the hostel 48 hours in advance, so the self-check-in process was incredibly smooth and easy. The building itself is a very typical Hong Kong commercial-residential building, making you feel like you're on a TVB set – it has so much character! I'd definitely come back again if I have the chance! The only minor regret is that the Mixue Ice Cream & Tea (bubble tea shop) across the street closed down, and other bubble tea places are a bit pricey – Hong Kong is quite expensive, haha. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed my stay here! It was especially cool for me to stay in this particular building because it's where the famous movie 'Chungking Express' was filmed. That alone makes the place special and gives it a unique vibe. The room was clean, cozy, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The air conditioning worked perfectly and kept the room cool, which was especially important in the hot and humid weather. I also want to give a special shout-out to the host. He was very welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help. Check-in was quick, and I was even able to check in earlier than the set time.

First off, I want to say I wasn't paid or given anything for this review. I'm just genuinely raving about YC Hostel. I stayed here for four days and it was great. Hygiene, Environment: Excellent. Each room has its own bathroom, and there are lockers and curtains. Everything else you'd expect is also there. Facilities: Superb. There's a fridge, basic cooking utensils, and common areas. Security is tight; you need to swipe your card to use the elevator to go upstairs, and the stairs are usually locked, so no outsiders can get in. Service: They don't discriminate against mainlanders. My water heater broke, and the owner came up to fix it after one phone call, though it didn't get fully repaired (haha). The staff members were all respectful and polite, treating foreigners and mainlanders with the same courtesy. Summary: I'll definitely be back next time.

Great value for money! I started looking for a hostel at 8 PM, as the one I had planned to book earlier in the day had increased its price, so I chose this one instead. The location is superb, very close to Victoria Harbour, just a 5-minute walk. There are also many affordable eateries nearby. Check-in was smooth; I used the self-service machine at the entrance, chose my language, followed the steps, and got my access card. Inside, there are electronic lockers with ample space. Considering Hong Kong, the living environment offers good value. There are backpackers from all over, and a tatami space for chatting. The 'wormhole' (common area/pod?) is quite spacious, with USB charging ports available.

The place is super convenient, the entry of subway station is nearby. The spot is hidden inside a condo, it’s a unit in the condo, not a whole building itself. There is no front desk, when you reach there u just scan the qrcode pasted on the door, and contact the owner via Wechat, he will tell you the password of the smart locker of the door. And you just pick wherever an empty bed spot. Everything is prepared inside the house, you just need to look it up yourself, especially when you check in at night where the light is switched off already. The bed and the temperature inside the room is comfortable. And I love the notes left by owner, full of HongKong spirit.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and overall, it was an excellent experience that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the warm and professional service provided by the staff. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and the front desk personnel were very welcoming, attentive, and helpful in answering all my questions. The room itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The bed was extremely comfortable, with soft linens and quality pillows that made it easy to relax after a long day. I also appreciated the thoughtful amenities provided, including complimentary toiletries, a well-stocked minibar, and reliable high-speed Wi-Fi. The room design was modern and elegant, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere throughout my stay. One of the highlights of my experience was the hotel’s cleanliness and attention to detail. Housekeeping did an excellent job maintaining the room daily, ensuring everything was tidy and fresh. The common areas such as the lobby, hallways, and dining spaces were equally well-kept, which reflected the hotel’s commitment to high standards. The hotel’s facilities were also impressive. The restaurant served a wide variety of delicious dishes, and the breakfast selection was especially satisfying, offering both local and international options. The amenities, including the fitness center and other recreational facilities, were well-equipped and convenient for guests who want to relax or stay active. In terms of location, the hotel is very convenient and accessible. It is situated near key attractions, restaurants, and transportation options, making it an ideal choice for both leisure and business travelers. Despite being centrally located, the environment remained peaceful and comfortable. What truly made my stay memorable was the exceptional customer service. The staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure guests felt comfortable and valued. Their friendliness, professionalism, and willingness to assist made a significant difference in my overall experience. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent service. It offers great value for money and provides a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel at home. I would definitely stay here again and look forward to my next visit.

Very good location. Allowed luggage storage. Hot and cold shower. Water dispenser. Change towels everyday.Have nearby open restaurants even at past 11pm after our Disneyland. Only bad experience was, someone tried to open our door at around 1:30am. It stopped after a few seconds, maybe just a mistake of room, but that was scary. I reported it the next day.

Very good location, the owner is very friendly. Just need to make a recognisable sign outside the entrance on the road. Overall everything is excellent. Will stay at the same place after my next visit to Hong Kong again.

I originally booked the Four Seasons Guesthouse, but the staff took me to another one. The Four Seasons Guesthouse in Block A, where I've stayed before, I would rate very highly because all the facilities were new and clean. This time, however, was different. When I arrived, the merchant implied they were full, though I didn't quite catch everything. After checking in, they led me downstairs to Block B. I asked which hotel he was taking me to, and he said it was the same company running both. I thought, 'Okay, the environment should be similar then.' The owner was a dark-skinned foreigner. But once I got there, I was a bit displeased. Communication with the staff in English wasn't smooth, so I just put up with it. The other place they took me to had incomplete facilities; the air conditioner was an old-fashioned wall-mounted unit that couldn't be adjusted, only turned on or off. It was so cold at night I needed two blankets. The bathroom was fine, but the bedsheets were far from as clean as the real Four Seasons Guesthouse; they weren't as pristine white. Luckily, I didn't sleep uncomfortably. Also, the Four Seasons Guesthouse has windows looking outside, but this place's window overlooked the classic, creepy atrium of Chungking Mansions. In short, it was inferior to the real Four Seasons Guesthouse in every way. This rating is for the place I actually stayed at. However, on the bright side, despite being inside Chungking Mansions, it felt quite safe. Along the way, the owner even reminded me to secure my documents and zip up my bags. Many foreign girls also stay there alone, so sisters looking for a low-cost option don't need to worry. The downside is that the hotel experience can be a bit of a lottery.

The owner is very welcoming and friendly, providing excellent service. The location is super convenient with a minimarket and bus stop nearby, making it easy to get to the border and the airport. There's even a night bus to the airport, which is quick and handy. This street is really lively and convenient, and the subway station is just around the corner.
