Our stay in li's hostel was not so good. We reserved a room online thru hostel traveler but when we arrived there, the receptionist mentioned that the room is bot available and that they have a one room available for 400hk dollars a night. We mentioned that we reserved for the cheaper room how come it not available when if fact we were able to reserved it online.. The receptionist kept on telling us that the room is not available. In the end, we accepted the room since we do not know anywhere else to stay in hong kong,. Upon entering the room, our first reaction was too small. But it left us no choice since the attendant cannot understand english well. I cant say anything good about this hostel and its associate hostels. The room is small. Single sized bed for two. It has no water heater plus the towels were like floor mats. The beddings were like not cleaned or laundry after the previous occupant. It's not advisable to stay in here, in chunking mansion.

DONT STAY HERE. They do everything thay can to con you out of money. I travelled with 3 others but we arrived at different times and each time one of us arrived they demanded we pay the full amount before they showed us the room. Even though I had paid the full amount online, two of my friends ended up paying about $150 USD each. After much frustration and arguing with the receptionist we eventually got our money back. Then after one day they said we needed to switch rooms becuase ours had a bathroom but we only made a reservation for a room with a shard bathroom. So they said move all of your stuff a few floors up or pay more money. Our reservation also said "4 beds" and I sent an email to confirm that it was actually 4 seperate beds and not 2 large beds, but still, when we got there it was two double beds and they insisted that that was "4 beds" regardless of the previous emails I had sent to make sure. Receptionists were extremely rude and unhelpful. Just dont stay here. Not worth it.

actually we have not stayed at Li's Hostel..because of the unfriendly receptionist we were not able to stay there. And the receptionist told us that they have no confirmation in fact we brought the emailed confirmation sent to us.. We're so dismayed bout it..the fact that we're so tired and sleepy coming from our travel from macau..we just landed on another hostel..proud to say that we found a nice Filipina receptionist and she was the one who helped us book in there hostel..

I found the room at this hostel to be very small, no windows and I could hardly turn in the room. The bathroom / toilet is really a disgrace! I am aware that it is a low budget hostel but I am sure the bathroom/toilet facilities can be upgraded or at least put a basin in the room, won't stay there agan!

Too bad !!! Small and dirty room. Strange and unpleasant smell in the room and everywhere nearby the bed, even outside the window.

I should never book this hostel anymore.

Will never either return or recommend this hostel. Our stay with Li's was terrible. It was a nightmare. We paid for Standard Room, they gave us the Budget Room, which has double decks, aircon not functioning well, windows with no lock, how can you feel safe when you leave your things behind?Staff and all the people is disgusting.
