🏨 YHA Mei Ho House Youth Hostel – Hongkong

#hongkonghotel
For a budget-friendly and historic experience, YHA Mei Ho House is unique. It’s a converted 1950s public housing block in Sham Shui Po, now transformed into a modern youth hostel with a cultural twist.

📍 Location & Arrival

Located in Sham Shui Po, one of Hong Kong’s most authentic neighborhoods, the hostel is about a 10-minute walk from the MTR. The building has been preserved to reflect old Hong Kong living, and there’s even a Heritage Museum inside.

🛏️ Room Experience

I stayed in a Twin Room (USD 40–70 per night). Simple but clean, with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and private bathroom. Dormitory options are even cheaper (~USD 25 per bed).

The highlight was the nostalgic décor — retro furnishings and wall art that showcase Hong Kong’s 1950s–70s life.

🍽️ Dining & Food

There’s a café on site, but the real food adventure is outside — Sham Shui Po is famous for street food like claypot rice, egg waffles, and dim sum.

💆 Facilities & Service

Facilities include laundry rooms, a common lounge, and even guided tours around the neighborhood. Staff were welcoming and happy to share cultural stories about the area.

🌟 Final Thoughts

YHA Mei Ho House is ideal for budget travelers and culture lovers. Staying here feels like stepping back into old Hong Kong while still enjoying modern comforts.
