Starfish Hostel Reviews

Very central location: near Avenue of Star, in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, a lot of eateries nearby. MTR entrance right below the building door. Very clean as well, always well-maintained. Facility-wise, given Hong Kong market conditions, it is so-so, but if you don't plan to spend a prolonged amount of time in the room, it wouldn't be a problem.

Was in HK for a few days and booked because I hadn’t intended to spend much time in the room. As luck would have it, ended up having to work remotely. The room is small but there is a small desk and the wifi is good. Very clean, friendly staff. No full time receptionist but very well organised, I locked myself out of my room and it was resolved immediately. The location is perfect (particularly for travel to and from the mainland) and much safer and friendlier than the nearby Chunking/Mirador mansions. I highly recommend it for solo travelers or anyone on a budget.

Good choice if you're on a budget

Brother Joe is very friendly and enthusiastic, and deserves praise. The hotel is in a busy area, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk to the Avenue of Stars, K11, and the Star Ferry Pier. There is a subway station downstairs, and there are many food stores nearby. The room is clean and tidy. In Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable, the hotel is OK.

It's generally clean, and there's not much dust on the floor when you walk barefoot. I haven't seen the landlord, but he sounded very friendly on the phone. But the overall environment is like a small hotel in a rural area in China decades ago, with a strong sense of shabbyness. The elevator is still the type that opens the outer door manually. The door cannot be locked, and there is only an anti-theft chain behind the door. There is an old hair dryer, an old TV, an old air conditioner, a power strip, an old table, and 3 pairs of non-disposable slippers. There are no toiletries. The hot water for bathing takes 5 minutes to get hot. There is no hot water in the washbasin. Because the window faces the main road, it is super noisy until late at night.

It's quite quiet. It's a bit shabby, but it's cheap. I happened to run into the Nathan Road Marathon, so I woke up at 5 o'clock. It's also convenient to send luggage. Check-out and check-in are self-service, which is convenient. The subway is right opposite the door

The sanitation is very clean and the transportation is convenient. The boss is nice. It's only ten meters from the subway. It's good. I will come again next time.

The owner Joe is very friendly. The location is great. There are many delicious restaurants within walking distance. There are direct buses to and from the airport. Recommended. 🉑 The room is small but well-equipped. Clean Limited space for opening a 20-inch luggage

The location of the hotel is great. It's not far from the exit of the subway station. It's only a few minutes' walk away. Except that the sound insulation effect is not that good, the location and convenience are actually great. When you walk out of the building, you will find a shopping street. All the food is on the street. You don’t have to worry about being hungry at night. Lan Fong Yuen, a must-eat in Tsim Sha Tsui, is also nearby. It’s just a short walk away.

The location, facilities and hygiene are very satisfactory. I will choose to stay here again if I have the chance👍

During the Golden Week, I compared many similar hotels within a limited budget. I habitually read reviews and was attracted by Joe S's straightforward response. He accepted the customer's comments and told the customer the hotel's status truthfully, so that the customer had a clear psychological preparation. Because I had a preliminary understanding of the hotel, except for the door opening when checking in, the whole process was smooth. Features: 1. Strong privacy (no front desk, fully automated), guests leave early and return late, and strictly abide by the rule of lowering the volume at 11 o'clock, haha! 2. Clear signs, as long as you observe carefully, every problem you may encounter can be solved. 3. The bathroom in the double bed room can turn around. Compared with hotels of the same price, it is very good to have such space!

Convenient transportation, there is a subway entrance downstairs, but the room is small, short-term accommodation can be chosen

Maybe I have a very low expectation for accommodation in Hong Kong, so even though the room is small and there is a dripping sound outside the air conditioner when it rains, I will continue to choose this one. The location is near the subway station, the entrance is in a prominent position on the main street, the sanitary conditions are good, check-in and check-out are self-service, very convenient, the facilities are complete, and the landlord is also super easy to communicate with. I recommend it to everyone.

The location is very good, close to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, surrounded by a main road, very busy with people, and good for shopping. The room is a little small, but it is still comfortable for a short stay. The lighting is good, the elevator is directly accessible, there are two doors including the main door, which is relatively safe, and the sound insulation is OK. Considering the price, the cost performance is good. Check-in and check-out are self-service, and there are many check-in and check-out prompts. It feels very convenient and has privacy, which is good.
