I stayed in a dorm, 10 beds/room, Air Conditioned, crowded, value for money.
Take care that Hostel Management might charge you more, so prepare to pay as stated reservation, they might provide wrong exchange rate or 10-20% more to compensate (hosteltraveler) reservation fees.

Hostel is managed by three Taiwanese, bad tempered, they charge more than stated when they convert the currency to 15%more, they add 10% for total receipt.
Hostel is running under 3names! Which: Tsim Sha Tsui, HongKong Budget Hostel, Taiwan Hostel Hostel. I stayed in a dorm, 10 beds,crowded no space to put your stuff, no lockers, air conditioned, clean bathroom.
I stayed in this hostel for 6times in the past 3 years, the only comparative advantage are: reservation fees , lovely guests, and location in one of the compared with other hostels.

The room is very small but it's worth it for budget travelers.I wonder if I could find similar hostels in other part of the world so I could travel more often.

We arrived 2 hours late in my expected time of arrival finding out that the old lady staff waited for me and didn't even eat her lunch. She was so accommodating and honest. She provides us with all that we need...It was worth the stay...

It's perfect for those who travel on a budget. The room is really small but clean. I would stay here again and recommend it to my friends. We're so happy to find this hostel that I will write about it in my blog. Everything you need is within reach. Even the MTR is just about a 3 minute walk.
