The guesthouse is well-equipped, and the room was surprisingly spacious. The surrounding area is also excellent – quiet and very convenient for amenities. Just a short walk downhill and around the corner from the guesthouse, you'll find a *cha chaan teng* for meals. The staff were all soft-spoken and very polite.

I recently stayed at YHA Jockey Club Mt. Davis Youth Hostel, and it was an experience worth sharing! If you're looking for a peaceful retreat away from the city's hustle while still being within reach of all the action, this is the place to be.

What I Loved:
✅ Breathtaking Views: The hostel is perched on Mt. Davis, offering panoramic views of Victoria Harbour, especially at sunrise and sunset—absolutely stunning!
✅ Affordable & Great Value: Compared to most accommodations in Hong Kong, this hostel offers great value for money, making it a budget-friendly option for travellers.
✅ Tranquil Atmosphere: Unlike hotels in the city centre, this place is surrounded by nature, perfect for those who want a relaxing stay.
✅ Friendly Staff: The hostel staff were welcoming and helpful, providing useful tips on getting around.
✅ Outdoor Common Area: There’s a nice outdoor area where you can sit back, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the views.

A Few Things to Note:
🔹 Location & Transport: Since the hostel is located on a hill, getting there requires taking a shuttle bus (provided by the hostel) or a taxi. If you prefer a more adventurous route, a scenic hike up Mt. Davis is an option, of course please do it during the day time.
🔹 Basic Amenities: This is a youth hostel, so don’t expect luxury. The rooms are simple but clean, with basic beds and shared facilities. Bring your own toiletries for added comfort.
🔹 Limited Dining Options: There isn’t a restaurant on-site, so it’s best to bring your own food or plan to eat before heading up. The common kitchen is available for light meal prep.
🔹 WIFI coverage & Speed, the signal in room is very pool, I started a 10 mins YouTube video at night and cannot reach to the end after sun rise. 

Overall Experience:
If you're an adventurer, a backpacker, or someone looking for a quiet escape with fantastic views, I highly recommend this hostel. It may not be for those seeking high-end comforts, but for nature lovers and budget-conscious travellers, it’s a hidden gem on Hong Kong Island! 🌿🏙️

Would I stay here again? Yes! Just be prepared for the location challenge, but once you get there, the views are totally worth it.

Tung Chung - 2 nights - private double room

Expectation/Reality: this is the only provider of accommodation in the area so expectations need to be managed. They have the ability to essentially set terms, so the negative reviews here are likely from the folks who didn’t read the find print. The photos match the space very well. However the hostel reached out over what’s app a number of days before the booking asking for the $150 membership fee and $500 deposit, which I was not comfortable providing until arrival, however the hostel was okay with that.

Security: very good, there is a gate lock and a lock to the door, very safe.

Hygiene: overall very clean, no concerns.

Hospitality: the check in and out process is all over what’s app, so you are at the mercy of how responsive they are which can be frustration when trying to get in. Once you are in, it’s fine.

Social Atmosphere: good social spaces.

Overall: given they essentially have a monopoly on accommodation in the area. It’s a pretty good spot. I accidentally broke the key and they came and fixed it the next day, but took off $50 from the deposit. So handle the keys gently. Over pretty good place.

I was so lucky to find this place, the location is superb. So many opportunities for outdoor activities within a few meters; cycling, hiking, swimming, and watersports. There is a quiet relaxed atmosphere but also plenty of shops, and international cuisine. Grey at Reception was friendly and helpful and had a lot of knowledge of the local area. It was great value for money. I will be back to stay again soon.

It was simply amazing, the owner was very hospitable, my hostel credentials were not ready yet and he didn't ask for too much.
The trees in the yard are so beautiful, it was a perfect day

The bedside lamp and sockets in the room were broken. There were no cabinets, which was a bit inconvenient for women with a lot of stuff. The kitchen was nice and spacious, with all the utensils. There's a Tesco within 100 meters for easy shopping.

Brilliantly situated YHA in London with affordable private rooms, cafe, bar, communal kitchen, lounge, clean rooms and comfy beds. 

About a 30minute scenic walk to Tower Bridge, an excellent location for budget travellers.

There is no separate bathroom in the room, but it is very convenient to have a sink to wash your hands. Next time, you can book a room with a bathroom. Although there is no separate bathroom, almost every room can correspond to a bathroom, so it is very clean and convenient. The room and bathroom ratio is almost one to one. The kitchen and courtyard are great, and you can eat outside. In such a good area of ​​London, it is very good to stay, eat and sit comfortably👍

The location is the best. This is a good value for money. There is no Elbe, so there is inconvenience. But it's good to go around in the middle of London

The public space of the youth hostel is very cozy. There is a large platform on the second floor for everyone to chat and chat. There are kitchen facilities for tenants to use. The bed in the double room with bathroom is relatively soft, the space is not too big, and it has a certain cost-effectiveness. It is more suitable for young single tourists.

There was a pool in the middle and it had a great atmosphere. A hair dryer is not provided. There are strict rules on where you can drink alcohol, so you can enjoy it safely. The shower room was also spacious and clean!
