10/10 Exceptional

Ideal for Travelers on a Budget
I've stayed at Ashoka Hostel before. If you are a budget traveler, I can't recommend this place enough. I needed a cheap place to stay while getting my visa updated last year. So I stayed here again. I stayed during the May holiday this time, which meant the price was more than $44 a night, but it was still a bargain. If you are looking for a safe place to sleep and clean up, this is it. I didn't have a refrigerator this time, but it was okay. The rooms are super-tiny. But it didn't matter to me, since I was going out sightseeing anyway. I had clean towels every day, plenty of soap/shampoo, and an air conditioner and a fan so my room was nice and cool for sleeping. Plus, it's located right on Nathan Road, which made it close to so many cool things. Easy to walk to Victoria Harbour and other attractions as well. One of the staffers even remembered me! They even let me park my luggage after check out since my train didn't leave until later. I will definitely stay there again, as it's just what I need.

Ideal for overnight stay
I have stayed here before-so know this is small, very small, but it was clean and had a TV, Hairdryer and hotwater in the hall if you bought your own coffee/tea. Reception is on the 16th floor, which really should be noted on Hotels.com, plus a 100 $Hong Kong is required as a deposit, they expected £ as I didnt have enough in HK$. The lift queue is long, so be prepared. Ideal for late check in. Staff were pleasant and everything worked as it should apart from the wi-fi.

Prison cells operated by scam artists
The room was a prison cell. The open floor space was 1 sq meter; just enough for the door to swing in. Bed was enclosed on all sides by walls. The 1 window looked out onto the concrete wall of the next building, close enough to touch. Bathroom is 4'x3': shower, toilet, sink altogether with a broken water heater. There's some sort of machinery upstairs rattling away all night. Only at night. During the day it was mostly kids screaming in the hall. Ashoka is on the 13th floor of a large multipurpose building. I walked those stairs at least once a day because the elevator was broken or so busy that nobody can get on. Expect a 10 minute wait for the elevator on the ground floor. The front desk was occupied about 25% of the time. This will come up later. When I checked in, I paid $100 HKD for a deposit on the keycard. When I left, there was nobody at the front desk to give me my deposit back. I put the keycard on the desk and called them later. When I contacted them later about getting a refund. They said 'no problem.' But the refund never came. I contacted them again and they said they would get back to me. They didn't. I contacted them again and they claimed I had received my deposit back. I assured them I had not. They then told me that they had security camera footage of me receiving my deposit back! I told them to send it along! I'd love to see it!! They stopped responding. I never got that deposit back. So, not only is it shoddy, they ripped me off, too!

you'll get what you pay for
Though the elevator was always crowded and people are queuing long, it was an okay stay.. I think it was the owner who directed us to our room. He was kind. Room is very small as expected and shown in the pictures but was very clean. Just don't move a lot coz you'll bump into every edge and corner of the room. Haha. That's what I paid for! Can't blame anyone. HK is just reeeeally expensive.

Theives
As soon as i walked in to check in, there was a guy arguing about how someone stole his sunglasses in his room. At the time, I’m just like whatever. Then after one night, I noticed a brand new shampoo that I just bought was suddenly all liquidly inside when i used it again. One of the staffers stole some of my shampoo. Like really?? Who the fck steals shampoo? I also noticed my good gel in the bottle is kinda going low so fast even tho I dont use much. I have an Aunt in HK and she told me that this hotel is known for stealing. Have a good day.

Good for short stay, on budget and on the go
Room was very clean, very helpful staff and accommodating, The place is good for short stays or lay over, easy access to supermarket and mall across the road. If your looking for living space to be comfortable if you want to stay in, i would suggest a brand hotel. For those on the go most of the time or in for a couple of days and just looking for a place to lay their head at night, dump bags and clean up. This is ideal venue. I would not recommend for family holidays where you need comfort. MTR nearby is easy to walk to, I suggest you buy an octopus card which you can load money on and get a refund on return at the end of your trip. This can be used on buses and MTR trains, this makes for easy transport to get around. this can be purchsed from customer service counter at any MTR station.

Homeless Shelter
This is by far the worst place I have seen. The rooms were clean and staff was nice. But an hostel in Asia is very different than a youth hostel anywhere else in the world. The picures on Expedia were false the room is the size of a closet 6×8 and sleeps 4. Only 1 toilet/shower for 20 people. The area is very shady and lots of people wnat to sell you drugs or watches on the street. I moved out after 1 night even though I paid for 5. People in my room did the same.

10/10 Exceptional

The place where we stayed in for 4 days. It's not that big, but very affordable, very clean ( just like in a 5 star hotel they do house keeping everyday) and the best thing about our stay here is that it feels like home because most of the staff and employees are pinoy. They're all warm and friendly. When we came from our flight, I was tagged "No Show" because our booking started on the 16th and we arrived on the 17th due to cancelled flight. In most of the hotels, once you are tagged no show your booking is considered forfeited or you would have to pay additional. We are so lucky that they still accommodated us. If you're looking for an affordable hotel I would definitely recommend Ashoka especially for budget travelers. You don't need a 5 star hotel to stay in because you travel not to stay in a hotel but to explore the city. It's worth what you're paying for. HappyCustomer

The Ashoka Hostel in the infamous Chingking Mansio
The Ashoka Hostel is located inside a peculiar building in Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Sui district of the Kowloon side. The whole building is called the Chungking Mansions which is an attraction of itself. One of the most densely populated buildings on earth many backpacker hostels and guesthouses occupy it's many floors. The rooms are tiny but most have wifi. The Ashoka Hostel is on the 14th floor. Make sure to take the elevator as the hallways can be a bit lonesome and risque. You are definitely getting what you pay for. A room in one of Hong Kong's most infamous buildings. The lower level contains a shopping market where you will always be bothered to buy goods or rent a guesthouse. The staff is nice enough and the room is exactly what to expect. It all depends on the other people who occupy your room with you. If they are good people you will have a good experience.
