Location was very convenient in the centre of Tsim Sha Tsui and close to the TST MTR station. Took the A21 airport bus directly to Chungking Mansion. The bus stop is approx a min walk away from Chungking Mansion and whole journey took approx 50 min. The single room was small as it is throughout the whole of HK but... More

I stayed here from Jan 1-5 this year, and was very satisfied with the accommodation. I got it for only ~$40 USD a night and expected the worst, but was pleasantly surprised by the hospitality, safety, and room quality of Apple Hostel. The owner, Mr. Raymond, was very prompt in responding to my emails before the trip. Cash settlement was... More

I stayed here on 12th and 13th of April, 2012. And this is my third hostel during my one week visit in Hong Kong. Compared to the the other two, the staff of Apple Hostel is very, very friendly. All of them are very helpful and understand English well. The room is small (I rent a single bed, shared bathroom)... More

I stayed here for 16 nights, starting May 17, 2011. Although you do find yourself a bit cramped taking the elevators to and from the hostel, you learn to accept and love the building - it's one of the most interesting and diverse spots in Hong Kong, seriously. The gentleman who owns the hostel was quite kind to me, always... More

Very convenient location and good rate. Should make reservation beforehand and make sure you have a good understanding of the directions about how to get there. It's located in a building with many many more businesses and hostels where you will get harassed by people trying to offer you things and hotels. Room 123 was clean and comfortable. Do not... More

Hong Kong is an outrageously expensive place to stay. If you don't want to pay an arm and a leg, or stay far far away from the major attractions and shopping areas you can try to find a decent room at the infamous Chungking Mansions. Granted you are paying purely for its fantastic location but it is also nice to... More

The hostel is in Chung King Mansions, which is a great location, minutes from Victoria Harbour and the metro. This alsomeans the rooms are tiny but hey, it's Hong Kong so I don't have a problem with that. The room was tidy enough but a bit worn down, and the airconditioner broke on our second night - a no no... More
