Oct 17, 2008 - Rooms were ok, pretty clean but bring your own travelsheats, bedbugs seem to be pretty common in this place.
Make sure while you book in advance that you get the price youre supposed to pay in HKD, NOT other currencies. The currency-conversion they use at the hostel is NOT correct as we pointed out, and we were grossly overcharged. This place is cheap, you get what you pay for, and the hostel is ok for just sleeping, nothing more.
Jun 11, 2008 - the worst hostel i ever benn, no privacy, they get in our room all times, not nice
Apr 21, 2008 - The place is fine! Clean!! The staff is very rude though. It's located in a good position in a very old and shubby building.
Apr 11, 2008 - We had a private room with bath, together about 11 squaremeter. AC and TV does not work. We had to pay in advance, very unusual!!
Dec 19, 2007 - we experienced a lot of confusion when trying to locate the exact spot of the hostel. The bathtub was very small and the beds were hard as rock. However, the cleaning was very good and the staff was nice.
Nov 10, 2007 - I stayed for 1 night in the single bed room. Room is tidy and clean but a bit tiny, (i understand it's normal in Hong Kong). It's located in an old building but with its character and there are lotso f boutiques downstairs which you could buy a lot of sovenirs.
Location is perfect!
Nov 10, 2007 - It's my ever most satisfied hostel at reasonable price. I think i could not find a better rate than this hostel with such a nice and clearn room. Would definitely recommend to all.
Nov 07, 2007 - Thank you Mrs. Lee, the manager at the reception, for arranging us such a nice room with windows! i would definitely recommend to all my friends.
Feb 02, 2007 - Staff had limited english capabilities but tried to communicate-which was great cuz they tried to help us when needed & friendly.
Jan 15, 2007 - Travelers friendship hostel is ok for budget travellers or backpackers.It's location is good esp the mtr stations are just a few mins walk.The hostel itself is clean,staff are friendly and Mr.Li,the owner I think is very accomodating.At first glance,the whole building(Mirador mansion)looks delapidated esp when you enter the building.It looks scary as if someone might just come out from nowhere and grab you and do something bad to you!There are different hostel names here and these group of hostels must do something about the appearance of the building and not just their own hostels.One might think that with the way this building looks,its's as if kowloon hides what it really is all about..clean on the outside,dirty on the inside...tsk.tsk..tsk...very bad publicity...
