Truly dreadful, like a prison cell and worse. There's no staff anywhere, you check in like Airbnb and you choke on the sewage stench, my room had no windows despite being called City View. I complained to Trip and Trip negotiated an upgrade, for extra money to a room with a window, the view then was onto the street,ok . But the sewage stench in the bathroom meant I had to sleep with a mask on.
Do not , EVER, book that dump. Spend another 10 bucks and book the Silka Seaview Hotel, not far away, and a very good place to stay. I'm in HK once a month and stay in different places, The **** hole that is Starfish hostel is akin to Chungking Mansions in the 1980's, don't book it unless you enjoy a filthy cage room, they have 8 rooms , 3 have windows to the street. Vomit 🤢🤢🤢
