YHA Mei Ho House Youth Hostel

It is an excellent choice for budget conscious travellers to HK. Good value for money. The shortest distance from Sham Shui Po MTR Station Exit D to the hostel is 400m. It is clean and comfortable. The reception is open 24h. Most hotels/hostels in HK only have staff at the reception till midnight & check in is from 1500-0000. The staff at the reception can speak simple English and are helpful. The safe in my room malfunctioned. When I informed them, within minutes, a staff came to my room to assist me. Although the surrounding estates look old, there are plenty of eating outlets within walking distance. Sham Shui Po is well-known as a tourist spot for FOOD! You will be spoiled for choices available. There are also value shops and a supermarket nearby (Wellcome Supermarket chain in HK). There is also a small hill park behind the hostel so fitness fanatics like me can exercise every morning as the hostel doesn't provide a gym.

[Stayed in 8 person male dorm]. A YHA so a certain level of security and quality can be expected and meet. Building has a free museum that shows life and homes in the past which can be very interesting and insightful. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Location very good with plenty of easy food options and shops that are only a street away. Luggage storage in room decent size to fit one large and medium size luggage (but perhaps not XL). Building easily identifiable and located. Guests in my room were polite and generally quiet. Has two bathrooms shared between 8 people which is reasonable. Size of the room good too.

With the museum / heritage of Mei Ho House next door this place is a perfect location to learn more about the "old" Hong Kong (HK) and how people lived in this historical building. The H-block is completely renovated with very big double rooms (for HK standards). Complete with kitchen facilities and a café. Also great location to explore the old neighbourhoods of Cheung Sha Wan and Sham Shui Po. Best traditional HK food is in Sham Shui Po. Two nearby mtr stations to easily navigate to other parts of HK. We love this place.

The staff were so kind and patient in helping me get around Hong Kong for the first time. From my Sim card, to payment methods when I couldn't. The female-only shared bedrooms are good value for money. Definitely recommend for solo female travelers

Location is near authentic street markets with very local vibe, not very touristy which I loved. Near a metro station, and few vegetarian vegan restaurants, which I also loved. The hostel has a unique vibe and history as it was an old popular housing estate, close to another readopted school building turned art centre.
