The Mahjong Boutique Hostel

In Kowloon, set in an authentic Hongkie neighbourhood and a short walk from the city center. Buses stop right outside (over 30 routes), about 10–15 minutes to Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok and 25–30 minutes to Causeway Bay and Central; MTR Mong Kok is roughly 1.6 km away. Landmarks nearby include the Hong Kong Museum of History, To Kwa Wan and the Wan Chai Star Ferry Pier.

A hip boutique hostel with designer touches that nod to Hong Kong heritage. Rooms range from private units with kitchenettes (microwave, fridge) and city views to pod-style bunks with privacy screens, keycard lockers and hotel-grade 6" mattresses; some rooms have private bathrooms while shared bathrooms are also available. Expect air conditioning, in-room safes and simple, modern fittings.

Free Wi‑Fi throughout, 24-hour front desk and a large social lounge and bar for evenings. There’s a shared kitchen, terrace and garden, on-site convenience store, laundromat/dry cleaning, ticket/tour desk, concierge, luggage storage and taxi service — plus a doctor available on request. Wake up to city-view mornings and easy access to bus and tour routes.

No full-service restaurant on site, but enjoy the hostel bar or cook in the shared kitchen. The neighbourhood is a foodie's paradise with nearby local eateries and street-food stalls serving authentic Hong Kong flavors within easy walking distance.
