LONGWIN HOSTEL - JORDAN MTR, Hong Kong

The hostel sits on the 8th floor just across from Jordan MTR exit A, with lifts that require minimal waiting. Temple Street night market, local bakeries, pharmacies, and a 7-Eleven are within a block. Air-conditioned rooms ensure cool comfort, while soundproofing helps reduce street noise. The area is central, safe, and well-connected by buses and the MTR, making it suitable for both short and longer stays. The immediate vicinity is filled with shops and restaurants, and Harbour City is about a 15-minute walk away.

Rooms are small but efficiently equipped, each with a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, hairdryer, and slippers. Standard features include a flat-screen TV with cable channels, tea and coffee maker, and city views in quadruple rooms. The double and twin rooms provide 1-2 beds, while the quadruple can accommodate two couples. The overall build is dated but well-maintained, with daily housekeeping and fresh towels provided. The compact size is typical for Hong Kong and suits short stays where the primary use is sleeping.

Within 300 metres you'll find Mak Man Kee Noodle Shop, Mak's Noodle, Toast Box, and Yee Shun Dairy Company. The area also houses a Japanese-Thai buffet, a burger café, dumpling specialist, and Kardoly Restaurant. A shared microwave and electric kettle are available in the common area for simple meal preparation. The self-contained kitchen is not in the room, but the location makes eating out very convenient. The street is busy with many dining options and a market, though the room itself has no dining facilities beyond a table.

The hostel itself does not have a gym, pool, or spa, but its central position means that Kowloon Park and its swimming complex and walking paths are a short stroll away. Temple Street night market and the shops of Tsim Sha Tsui are within a 10- to 15-minute walk, providing entertainment and evening options. The immediate area is very active with shops and eateries, so guests looking for leisure can easily explore the neighbourhood.

Services include daily room cleaning (fresh towels, garbage removal), free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, and express self-check-in with a keypad code, which is very convenient for late-arrival flights. A lift serves all floors, and there is a common area with a microwave, electric kettle, and filtered hot water. Security features include CCTV in common areas, smoke alarms, and a security alarm. The property accepts American Express, Visa, and MasterCard. The 2-night minimum stay applies, but no deposit is required for booking.
