USA Hostel

This hostel was referred to us by my dear friend Amy. Upon checking their website and do lots of canvass finally we decided to settle here. USA Hostel is located at the heart of the city Tsim Sha Tsui where different modes of transportation are very accessible like MTR, Harbour Tunnel and Star Ferry Pier. It is only 45 minutes from HK International Airport and 2 minutes walk to MTR.

Main Entrance

We are staying here for 5 days; our room is classified as Superior Private Double En suite which is probably about 85 square feet which I think enough for us since we are paying HK$ 160.00 per person per night. They have online reservation making it easier for us to get a room in advance, so Ian paid 2.5% online or HK$ 32.00 for the deposit plus booking fee of HK$ 15.58 using his credit card. There is free Wi-Fi every room so we took advantage to use it for some research about our places we are going to visit.

We're lucky to have room number 8 :)

The ground level also has shops which is more organized and less chaotic but this is a building that would need some touch up too. We took the cheap accommodation now because we travelled on tight budget and we personally believe that the comfort of our room won't matter when we went home tired from the every whole day tour. The place was clean and has a reception at the corridor which is just a table with stools; they can accommodate your request until 12 midnight. The staff was very friendly and accommodating since some of them are Filipinos.

The bedding is hygienic, the pillows are fresh and they provided 2 towels which they changed everyday and the staff is always make up our room.

Hallway

It has a desk large enough to place some important things and just like the rest a TV hanged at the corner.

They have hot showers til midnight, air con, drinking water (mineral water) from common corridor. I was little bit disappointed with their comfort room since there isn't enough space to put our feet when we sit on the toilet bowl. Can you see how small it is?

Luckily, we got a corner room with two windows and because of that I took some photos of the surroundings from our room.

I enjoy this hostel for its price and maybe space too and if we come back in HK, I might just consider this again. One thing I would like to point out to would be visitors in HK hostel is that don't expect too much from hostel, it is just enough for you to sleep from a very tiring tour around HK.
