Yha Mei Ho House Youth Hostel

Location good, close to golden computer centre

Cannot open window

I managed to book during a promotion (I think?) because it was surprisingly cheap, and the prices increased after telling everyone xD I actually stayed in the 2 twin-bed room; we got a free upgrade to a triple twin room, which was very nice of them. More space for my stuff to spread out hahah... housekeeping got really used to me. It is quite spacious (for what I paid), in a nice building with a good community. Breakfast isn't great for vegetarians (and impossible for vegans), but I think the staff gave me extra eggs to make sure the plate wasn't looking so lonely haha... (4 options, macaroni w/ ham + egg; sandwich with ham + egg; pineapple bun sandwich; steak, beans + eggs for extra $10HKD) Reception is also very very helpful; these were the WORST beds I have ever slept on (will describe more below), but they were very generous in giving me extra, extra, extra blankets so I could built myself a nest out of "Princess and the Pea". The kitchen refrigerators are HUGE and spacious, the big industrial kind, so there was plenty of space for your food. The kitchen is also quite clean, although not the best equipped in cooking equipment (more below), but had plenty of bowls, plates, and cutlery. It's best suitable for takeaway food, I suppose. There's also a lot of space for you to sit/lounge, so there's no need to stay inside your room, if you didn't want to. Nice little hill behind it as well, to take a small walk. There is a special room to store your luggage in, when you check-out early. There is coin laundry available, but it's cheaper + easier to drop it off at a laundry service nearby. There's pretty much 2 on every street, so just take a short wander and find one. I go to one that's $36HKD for the first 7 lbs. My friend stayed in the dorm room... he says it's really small and people are noisy. And our room was one of the nicest rooms he's every stayed in xD I didn't ask for any more details!

The beds are horrible, I could feel every spring; plus tossing+turning throughout the night because the body gets sore or numb. It was incredible, I never knew someone could create a mattress like this! The pillows are also too high and firm, so everything appears in great condition because it's not made for humans with soft, fleshy bodies~ The kitchen has 2 microwaves, 1 toaster and 1 electric boiler (imagine electric kettle x cooking pot). Which means major cooking is OUT OF THE QUESTION. Otherwise, there is plenty of space, since there's not much else you can do in there!
