The Anne Black - YWCA - Kowloon

All considered for the money and only a safe place to sleep i would stay there again.Front desk was very helpfull and friendly, walk to the hotel from Kawoon st. was a little hectic in the rain for a 15 minute walk after the airport bus dropped us off.

Good prece

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is the second time I stay in this YWCA building. I like it because of its location where I can go anywhere easily, either Kowloon or Hong Kong island. Restaurants and shopping malls are within walking distance. So I think I would stay in this hotel again should I return to Hong Kong again.

VERY NICE STAY , THE PEOPLE, VERY VERY KIND. I ENJOY MY VACATION THERE ..GREAT LOCATION. TO ALL THE NIGHT MARKET THERE IN HONG KONG.

I stayed in a room with a shared bathroom. The price was right for the room, and the room was reasonably comfortable. However, the hotel needs renovation. The TV in the room looks like a 1970s model and has no remote. In some of the rooms, there is too much static on the 2 English language stations, so you can't even watch them. The food in the attatched […] restaurant is good. Musicians play at the restaurant every night and then there is karoke. Read more

The price is reasonable, however the wi-fi must be fixed as soon as possible in every room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel is safe and clean, although the facility and furnishings are a bit dated. Bed mattress is kind of hard. You can hear the din of traffic noise from your room. Bring ear plugs. I would not recommend staying in a room with shower and toilet down the hallway. You can hear the people going down the hallway and slamming the door.

Nice and safe accommodations. The shared bathroom was always clean. It would have been nice to have Wi-fi access in the room instead of lobby only. The elevators were slow and I often took the staircase.

The Ann Black had all that we needed for our stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is located within easy access to public transportation and convienence stores. The room was small and the beds were hard, but not intolerable for me. The communal bathrooms, which were my biggest dread, were in fact, not bad, and were available whenever I needed. There was a sink in the room, but toliet and shower were not far down the hall. […] These were kept clean. The place needs refurbishing, but hay, it was kept clean. The staff were nice and helpful. My one big annoyance was that internet was only available in the lobby, and based on what time, you went down, especially in the evenings, there were a lot of guests in the lobby using their various devices, and there were times when there was not enough seats available for all who where present. Overall, considering the price per night, I would stay there again. Read more

People were nice, service good but the hotel room a geat disappointment. Hotel needs urgent maintenance or the price should be lower. Room was very hot, and old and noisy A.C.. Difficult to sleep in such conditions.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Ive stayed in Tokyo hotels for the same price that were 10x nicer. Hard beds, far from train station, old style lock and key that can easily be picked. Wifi only in lobby and reading room. Water in hong kong not drinkable, so hotel suggests using a rusted kettle to boil your water. had to buy from convenient store everyday. Blankets felt like sandpaper, […] showers had no cold water, and air conditioner unreasonably loud. Only thing that made up for it was the 24 hr receptionists and how nice they were. Read more

good location and quality of service

My impression in this YWCA for 4 nights stay was not bad. The counter employees were very helpful and friendly. My room was clean. I think this hotel needs some remodling. It needs new paints for everywhere, especially the rooms and the shower rooms.

Genuine Expedia guest review

so if you do backpacking, in Europe especially in Summer, you know lots of university have school dorms opened to public in Summer time. This place is like that. Tiny but functional room, sharing bath and shower. Only one thing: Wifi is only available in lobby. I could only get pccw (public prepaid wifi network in Hong Kong) sometimes from my room […] (10th fl). Read more

Hotel was clean but the blind of the windows was in a very bad shape. We have to share the public bathroom. It was expensive for the price we paid. I guessed since a lot of people are visiting during the time of our stay so the price of this hotel was raised for the demand for the hotel room in Hong Kong was very high.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Front desk staff: great, everything else is as minimal as can be. If you must save money, you are OK here.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Over charge Not even one star Poor

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

For someone who can't afford to have a bed for the night in Hong Kong, then this is it. Its basic basic. Walls are thin, building is old, and people are in and out slamming the room doors.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location is OK. The service and amenities are minimal. The environment is pretty clean. The room size is like a personal school dorm. The staffs are courteous. The cost of the room is excellent. So, if you are a very budge minded person who is not looking for something fancy at all but a clean safe place to stay, provided not too far away from busy […] strip, try this one. Read more

YWCA - The Ann Black Hotel is in nice location. There are buses stops, supermarket, restaurant, and bakery in two or three minutes walk. The room is bigger than and the room rate is cheapper that some other comparative expensive hotels in Hong Kong. The room is clean and bright. The staffs are polite and very helpful. I will recommend this hotel to […] my friends. Read more

Good front desk reception service, but inconvenient because the room I reserved didn't have bathroom, I have to use public bathroom and take a shower there. Good location, be sure to download hong kong subway map before you take the trip, otherwise it will cost you $300 hk dollar to get to hotel from the airport.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

overall it is ok

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is one of the few low cost hotels that one can find in Hong Kong. It is situated right in the middle of Kowloon Penisula, and is about a good 15 minutes' walk from Nathan Road. I have stayed in a room with communal bath during my last trip to HK, and I found that the room was small but clean, and there was even a sink with running water inside […] the room. The room was cooled by a window unit air conditioner, which worked very well for the small room. For shower and toilet, one had to go to the communal bathroom. On each floor, there were two same-sex communal bathrooms serving male and female guests respectively. And each bathroom has three shower units and three toilets. During the daytime, the cleaning staff would clean up whatever messes that people left behing, fast and often. But at night, when there was no cleaning personnel on duty, people would just mess up the place, i.e. for not flushing the toilets, and throwing soiled toilet paper everywhere inside the bathroom. It appeared to me that somebody was doing that on purpose. I know that there are a lot of good hotels in Asia or other parts of the world that would charge the same as or much less than the rate by this hotel. But this is HK and one cannot really find any better hotel deal than this one. So in here I am not faulting the the hotel for the messiness of the bathrooms. It is the fellow guests that were not being considerate. I would recommend this hotel to others. Read more

Over all, I am satisfied with the stay. The location and the cleanness of the hotel are very good, however, there are some rooms to improve: 1. The mini blind is kind old and broken, it wouldn't cost that much to replace it periodically. 2. Since we have to use the communal bath room, it is VERY odd without a pair of sandals when taking a shower. How […] much cost to have a pair of 'Made in China' sandals in the room? If the customer takes it, then charge it to their deposit. 3. The room facing Waterloo St. is very noisy, would it be nice to install a double window? Anyway, I will come back, but try to get a room ending with a odd number which facing Hope Man Tin Hill. Read more

Sizeable room, tiny bathroom. Room is Clean. It's a good deal for a budget hotel. But they don't have in room internet. That's the disadvantage. If you want to use free internet you have to bring your computer and sit in the lobby. By the way, the bed in hard as American standard.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Located in a very desirable and safe area of Kowloon. Room was reasonably clean, furnitures were practical, and building features and window shades were very old. Service was good. It is not fancy but a good value for budget travelers!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

You get a CLEAN and safe room for the price. The beds are a bit hard - however, they keep this place very safe, and extremely clean. You will see the house service cleaning the window blinds by hand - very, very clean. It is not a 5 star hotel but you need not worry about anything. I travel alot, been to many places and if you are not going to stay […] in your room much, this is the place to be for the price. Rooms are small, but if you are going to be out and about, stay here. Trust me. Read more

I was really happy with my stay with this hotel. Check-in was an instant. The staff were polite, friendly and thay can all speak in very good English. In 5 minutes, we were already opening or room. The room was nice, clean and cozy. It's a lot more better than what can be seen from the pictures in their website. It is complete with extra pillows, beddings, […] a Tefal electric "thermos" for boiling water, drinking glasses, shampoos, toothbrush and toothpaste, tissues, handtowels and bath towels that they change everyday. The towels are clean and so white. It has a TV and refrigerator which are all working. We moved the beds together so we can form a big bed and accomodate the kids. It's ok for them. For the following days, we came home with the beddings already fixed in that manner. Location is also great. Wellcome supermarket is just a short distance from the hotel. So if you need to stock up on things like in my case I stocked up on coke in cans (very cheap in wellcome), noodles which we eat if we get hungry during the night, cookies and pastries and even batteries. 7-11, mannings and watsons is also a stone throw away. They have a restaurant, but I havent tried to eat there as we always have food as soon as we got to the hotel. It is a 5 to 10 minute walk to the yau ma tei mtr. In our case, we usually take a cab to the mtr as you will only pay the flat rate of 18hkd. We also left our baggage on our last day while we are on our last minute shopping --- for free. Read more

The hotel is situated away from main streets. The facilities are limited.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Anne Black is a fantastic place for the price. The room is a good size for Hong Kong and the hotel is clean in shared areas and the rooms -= you even get towels and toiletries which surprised me. There's free wifi in the lobby and the cafe downstairs does good food at reasonable prices. The only bad thing about the hotel is it is a bit far away […] from the main city - and if you were going for only a day or two I'd recommend staying nearer the harbour - but it's quite easy and cheap to get in on the subway or bus if you have a bit longer and you can spend the money you save on accommodation in the local markets!

old room needing basic upgrade/ blinds very damaged and a/c noisy. good value for money. Room clened well every day.. shared toilets need refurb.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Like other reviewers I noticed the very firm bed and noise from Waterloo Road. I felt very secure and although I was on the females only floor Abbas had to share showers and toilets there was never a problem. Lunch in the cafe was tasty and affordable. There are plenty of options as regards buses. It was easy to get to and from the airport. Yes, some […] areas could do with a bit of decoration, but all the important features are there . Read more
