We're from Malaysia and we stayed here for 6 nights for our honeymoon. The room is complete with a double bed, small tv, hot water flask, bath tub, water heater and hair dryer. The basic utilities are provided. Though the hotel may be a bit old, all things are working and it's better then a 4 star hotel we were staying in Macau. The MTR Yau Ma Tei is about 5 mins walk. Temple street is very near this lodge wheareas for ladies market and fa yuen street market, you can easily take MTR to Mong Kok. for Tsim Tsa Tsui (star ferry/ avenue of stars), you can either take a slow walk or take MTR to Tsim Tsa Tsui. There are a lot of hawker food, watson, mannings and 7-11 around Booth Lodge. We were basically out from 10am till 10pm, therefore, the room is good enough for a good night's rest at an affordable price. A downside, the free breakfast was the same for all 6 mornings, fried bi hun, century egg porrridge, omellete, ham, cereals, tea, coffee, salad and toasted bread. if you are not particular about food, take the breakfast there as the food in hong kong can be pretty expensive.

The hotel is basic and the rooms have not been updated in a while. The room was clean and had a small tv with cable.
The included breakfast buffet was standard but basic.
The location is fine but not great. It's very close the the MTR and a few blocks from the markets. [----]
I stayed three nights at Booth lodge ($111USD) and one night at the Salisbury-YMCA ($133USD). I I have stayed at the Salisbury (YMCA) twice before and prefer that hotel. I would have stayed there all four nights but they were sold out except for one night. The city was very full and I could not find any other hotel less than $250USD!!

Transportation tip: if you arrive at HKG off hours, take the A21 public double-decker bus to the hotel. It costs only 33 HKD each and drops you just around the corner from the hotel. Show the location of the stop to the driver to confirm where to get off.

Summary: safe, clean, basic, fall back hotel

You know you're in a budget place when the paint job in the hotel hallways are worse than anything you could do on your worst day at home. The rooms were reasonably clean but a little small. The staff was helpful in telling you how to get somewhere. The free breakfast was ok if you like Chinese style Western breakfast. Watery scrambled eggs, hot dog weiners, spam, noodles, congee, heated corn from a can and toast were the offerings.

The best thing about the Lodge was the location. You are right off Nathan Road, less than 3 minutes walk from the Yau Ma Tei MTR station, and about 5-10 minutes away from the Temple Street Night Market. If you really are looking at saving your money on hotels, this is one place
