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.

The staff is very accommodating ,staff is friendly and helpful . The bedding are very comfy.

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.

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!

Conveniently located near MTR and easily access to the Airport Express free shuttle.

No bathroom in-the-room. No lights in the hallway. (complete darkness when goes to bathroom down the hall. Had to use my cell-flashlight) After mid-night saw a man sleeping on the floor behind the counter.

Lobby of the building is sketchy. Lots of people trying to hustle you. They are very pushy but annoying.

Very professional service.

Very near to train, bus stops, shops and eateries... The staff there is always helpful going the extra mile to assist whatever is required... Although the room is small, it is comfortable enough and it is great value for money...

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.
