The Anne Black - YWCA in Kowloon

good location and quality of service

We chose this place because hostels were the same price at the time. This place is pretty much like a hostel with the shared bathrooms that are also home to water flies. It is clean and there is decent air conditioner, but really nothing more. I would probably choose a slightly more upscale place if you aren't under budget. It is a far walk (20 mins) […] from the closest MTR which is quite inconvenient. Lees meer

A good option if you are looking for something relatively cheap in expensive Hong Kong. The neighbourhood isn't shiny and squeaky clean, but it's vibrant and the hotel is reasonably close to the metro. The staff are helpful and assist with a shuttle service to the airport. My mattress was extremely firm; the room and bathroom were adequately furnished […] with nothing fancy. Lees meer

so if you do backpacking, in Europe especially in Summer, you know lots of university have school dorms opened to public in Summer time. This place is like that. Tiny but functional room, sharing bath and shower. Only one thing: Wifi is only available in lobby. I could only get pccw (public prepaid wifi network in Hong Kong) sometimes from my room […] (10th fl). Lees meer

The hotel is in Kowloon, but it is situated very far out. There is about 3,5 km from the hotel to the water front. When I stayed there Hong Kong was cold and rainy and the room was not heated at all. On top of that, the room smelled damp and moist. The hotel provides wifi, however only in the lobby and it is very slow and unreliable. In general the […] staff was nice, but now very service minded.

It is not a five star hotel but it had everything I wanted on a vacation. Pleasant efficient staff who spoke english, good food in the restaurant, clean room (wasn't planning spending much time in the room) and when I was, it was quiet. If I go to Hong Kong again, it will be the first place I look at staying at.

Very hard to sleep without headphone! Very noise on the corridor.

1. Towels changed daily, which was good. 2. Staff was friendly but can be more knowledgeable and senstiive to guests' needs. E.g we were only told abt mini bus (5M) on 3rd day of our stay. This shd have been told to us the first time we enquired abt getting to and from the MTR's. My 9yr old boy found the walking distance to MTR's too much. We had to […] resort to taxi, which was so unnecessary. 3. There shd be at least one floor mat for bathroom so our feet can be dried (we stayed in ensuite room) 4. Some tour brochures at lobby would be good. Lees meer

Hotel was clean but the blind of the windows was in a very bad shape. We have to share the public bathroom. It was expensive for the price we paid. I guessed since a lot of people are visiting during the time of our stay so the price of this hotel was raised for the demand for the hotel room in Hong Kong was very high.

Front desk staff: great, everything else is as minimal as can be. If you must save money, you are OK here.

Over charge Not even one star Poor

It is a uncomfortable hotel only one public toilet and big bathrooms shared with each other each floor. And also it was not enough toilet papers each floor that I found. My toilet was repaired on that time, so I went to upper floor. Each toilet key is only used on the same floor. A sex lady walked out after bathed with towel.

Location : A good 15 min walk from Yau Mai Tei MTR (exit D ; walk onwards from Waterloo Fire Station). YWCA is located at a slope of a hill, so it's not for the elderly or for those with big luggages. Tip: take a shortcut thru the basketball court. Nearby : Plenty of small shops and 7-11 across main Waterloo road. Recommended eats at Victory Avenue […] across street : Dim sum (11.30 - 12mn) & Porridge (8.30am - 2.30am). Room/Reception: Room very clean but spartan with old furniture w/single-split aircon which is very noisy that rattles. Rooms facing Waterloo Road also face noisy road traffic. Ear-plugs a must for light sleepers. Hotel corridors and furnishings badly need a change and fresh coat of paint. Hotel staff were however very pleasant and professional. They speak good English and gave good sightseeing and food recommendations. Overall rating is fair and only stay there if you're on a tight budget. Also note that a lot of mainland China tourists and groups use this guest house. Lees meer

the hotel was so nice to stay and hope i can go back soon

Value for money hotel with helpful staff and clean rooms. Though not located in central locations, it is a short 15 min walk to the MTR and is accessible by buses.

The Hotel was near the shopping distric of Mongkok and needs just a few minutes walk to the MTR. The rooms were not so tidy especially the blinds in the window. beddings were ok. If your looking for a place just to sleep or rest your tired body after a hectic day of shooping then this plce is good enough .

YWCA - The Ann Black Hotel is in nice location. There are buses stops, supermarket, restaurant, and bakery in two or three minutes walk. The room is bigger than and the room rate is cheapper that some other comparative expensive hotels in Hong Kong. The room is clean and bright. The staffs are polite and very helpful. I will recommend this hotel to […] my friends. Lees meer

I booked common bathroom room category and it was worth for money. Everything was good. The only problem I faced was going to Kawloon station, which I tried to go by bus but failed and at last I took taxi and reached station.

Stay at this hotel on 2 occasion during my trip to hong kong. A very tidy place with good air conditioning. I would strongly recommend this place to everyone. The service was very professional and there are cleaners that tidy you room on a daily basis. The security is reasonable as the staff are always awared of the people that enter the building. […] Stayed in both normal room and superior room. Normal = bed, tv, air condition, bathroom sink... just have all the essential. Upgrade to a superior room and you get a bathroom (sink, toilet, bathtub/shower) and fridge in addition Its situated reasonable close to mongkok MTR (about 10 minutes walk, if you know the way). The night markets are also about 10 minutes away from the Hotel. Give you something to do at night. Mongkok area can be a bit dodgy when compared with other areas in Hong Kong. But I would still strongly recommend others to stay there due to the quality of this hotel Lees meer

Good front desk reception service, but inconvenient because the room I reserved didn't have bathroom, I have to use public bathroom and take a shower there. Good location, be sure to download hong kong subway map before you take the trip, otherwise it will cost you $300 hk dollar to get to hotel from the airport.

The hostel is old but yet well maintained. It's pretty clean considered that it is an old building. The counterstaff and cleaner lady in particularly were all friendly and courtesy. Hv a enjoyable and pleasant stay indeed. Conveniently located and well served by all public transports. Will definitely come by again in my next trip.

if the sound-proof do much better, it will be perfect.

The price is good since it's really cheap. Everything is very old actually. The house keeping knock your door very early in the morning if you don't put the DO NOT DISTURB on your door.

overall it is ok

front desk looks very nice when you first walk in...also the receptionist are very helpful....but all the good parts ends there...its shared bathrooms although its relatively clean i'd much rather have a private bathroom...tried to asking for a room with a private bathroom but said there was none available...it would have been ok for a budget hotel […] i just didnt like having to share bathrooms...also no hairdryer and only give you one adapter for your electronics...

Over all, I am satisfied with the stay. The location and the cleanness of the hotel are very good, however, there are some rooms to improve: 1. The mini blind is kind old and broken, it wouldn't cost that much to replace it periodically. 2. Since we have to use the communal bath room, it is VERY odd without a pair of sandals when taking a shower. How […] much cost to have a pair of 'Made in China' sandals in the room? If the customer takes it, then charge it to their deposit. 3. The room facing Waterloo St. is very noisy, would it be nice to install a double window? Anyway, I will come back, but try to get a room ending with a odd number which facing Hope Man Tin Hill. Lees meer

Good: - Location: A 10-15 min walk to Mong Kok shopping district. Within walking distance of Nathan rd. Waterloo rd has all kinds of restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores. - Laundry facility on site. - Right next to public library with free internet access (must reserve time slot). - The staff is very helpful and friendly. Bad: - Noisy inside and […] outside. Bring some ear plugs or you won't be able to sleep. You can hear the loud guests in other rooms, you can hear their doors slam all the time (as I'm sure they heard mine), you can hear the noise from the street. - The blinds are useless. If I'd know, I would have brought a sleep mask along with my ear plugs. - Air Conditioning has no temperature control. If there is, I didn't see it coz the window A/C unit is way up there, and out of reach. - My bed was hard and slanted. I like a firm mattress, but I don't like feeling like I'm sleeping on concrete. - Location: the closest MTR station is Yau Ma Tei and it's a 15 min walk away. You can take the bus to the MTR or all the way to TST harbor. Lees meer

If you're on a budget, you probably can't do much better at this price point. Safe, quiet, clean, and comfortable enough beds. Walk to subway more like 20 mins than 10, but once you're on it it's such a short ride to all the hot spots. No shower sandals in the room, so BYO Staff were helpful and knowledgeable about my simple tourist questions--where […] to catch a ferry to lama,and a bus to Guangzhou. I'd stay here again but I'd look for something else first. Lees meer

You get a CLEAN and safe room for the price. The beds are a bit hard - however, they keep this place very safe, and extremely clean. You will see the house service cleaning the window blinds by hand - very, very clean. It is not a 5 star hotel but you need not worry about anything. I travel alot, been to many places and if you are not going to stay […] in your room much, this is the place to be for the price. Rooms are small, but if you are going to be out and about, stay here. Trust me. Lees meer
