“You have got to be joking!”

1/1 found this review helpful

I cannot believe the reviews on here! I stayed here based on those. The room is basic, yes, but the bed is like it is made out of concrete - unsleepable on, the toilet fills up to the brim like it will overflow and the aircon is super noisy. I don't mind hostels or roughing it but this place leaves a lot to be desired - also the traffic noise is annoying. I would pay a bit extra for somewhere that has a bed that can be slept on!

Fantastic Hostel (it was more like a UK 3star hotel) with great breakfast and top location. Rooms were clean and spacious, no problems at all.

“Worthwhile for the very budget traveller”

Anne Black Guest House (YWCA)

3/3 found this review helpful

I stayed in this hotel during Chinese Lunar Year of 6 February until 8 February 2008.At first , I was very concerned on the cleanliness of the communal bathroom.However, it did not turned me down, I was very delighted that the bathrooms were very clean.The room and the facilities were all very simple.It was very satisfactory for an independent and tight budget traveller like me.
The only disadvantage was that it was far away from the MTR.I had to disembark at Mongkok Station,walked along Argyle Road,turned right to Soares Street and reached upon Pui Ching Road , then finally turned left to Man Fuk Road and reached the hotel.

“Better than expected!”

Anne Black Guest House (YWCA)

4 of 5 stars
Chicago, Illinois

5/5 found this review helpful

My previous stay in Hong Kong on a corporate expense account was at the Intercontinental, so when I had the chance to go there on my own money and on a very tight budget, I was dismayed to find that our only affordable option was a "Y". Granted, the rooms are spartan, but we committed to a one week stay and they "upgraded" us. The rooms are clean with outdated furniture and the place could use a paint job. There is cable TV, working laundry facilities, and a restaurant that features live entertainment some nights. The place caters mainly to Chinese budget tourists and tour groups and backpackers from all over the world. The restaurant food won't knock you over, but it is okay and reasonably priced. This YWCA is located a short walk from a bus stop with all kinds of buses that will take you almost anywhere you would want to go. For other dining options, there are at least 4 bakeries at the bottom of the hill where the Y is located and the breakfast pastries are good. There is also a small, elegant French restaurant there where you can get a very good meal that won't hurt your wallet. Finally, for a good breakfast buffet, walk about 6 blocks down to the International YMCA - they offer a great buffet at a very affordable price.

“Great if you're on a budget and not a bad location”

Anne Black Guest House (YWCA)

Nov 16, 2006
5/5 found this review helpful

As others have said the rooms are pretty basic, but we found them to be clean and comfortable.

If you want a harbour front location then this really isn't for you (although if you go up to the higher floors you'll be able to watch the light show through the little window at the end of the corridor!). However, it is only a 10 minute brisk (or 15 minute leisurely) walk to the Ladies Market and the Mong Kok shopping area.

If you go for a rate with breakfast included you will find that the selection is very limited, but if you're going out for the day you'll be constantly tempted by more food anyway!

Definitely recommended if you're travelling on a bit of a budget and you want to stay somewhere a little less 'touristy'.
