Jockey Club Mt. Davis Youth Hostel

An amazing place to stay. Only thing to consider is that it takes a little bit of time to get into the center. If you just walk down the hill 15 minutes and grab the 5b you'll get there in maybe half an hour or so. But other than that, it's a well worth stay. The views are amazing, especially for the sunsetting. The staff are very nice and exceptionally accommodating. You do have to bring your own food but the kitchen facilities are brilliant, I felt like a chef again. I recommend if you're staying for a few days in Hong Kong stay here for the rest of the trip after staying in the center.

Excellent spot for holiday seekers . Although isolated on top of a peak with no facilities nearby and only accessible by shuttle bus or taxi, this youth hostel nevertheless offers guests and visitors serenity, seaview and the freedom to explore hill paths or sit down to roast barbecue. The place is almost never fully booked and is the cheapest accommodation on HongKong Island by far: Highly recommended for those looking to chill out for a few days from the hustle bustle of city life.

Location may not be convenient for most travellers with limited free shuttle bus schedule. Sometimes, the taxi drivers refuse to drive up there. Approximate one way fare to the nearby MTR station is around hkd60 dollars. But the views are gorgeous up there.

totally understand and agree that you get what you paid for, and that this hostel is more on the cheaper side for HK. but the facilities simply are just plain very badd. restrooms are too humid & moldy & water is dripping on the ceiling. it also takes almost 45 minutes for us to get a taxi down the hill for 3 consecutive days, because no taxi drivers want to drive up there. the view is very pretty and the owner is incredibly nice. this will be a one time occurrence

They might have functions up there and it will be very busy there. They also have a common room for public entertainment purposes. When I was there, some guests are jamming music. It was fun and the guests are friendly there

Lower your expectations. And then lower it again. My girlfriend wanted to (really) cry after she saw the place. Those positive ratings must be from friends and family members. This place should be torn down.

Very friendly staff and affordable accommodation on the top of the mountain. Very good views around.

The rooms are clean and tidy as it is only a youth hostel. It has everything you need in the kitchen and the shower room except food, drink and toiletry that one has to bring. Excellent location with a beautiful mountain top sea view within 20 minutes away from the city.

This youth hostel is quite run down but clean. Most of the stuff is very friendly. While I was at the reception I had some skypecalls cause I could use the free wifi. I went out to have a cigarette. The a man passes by and screams so hard on me, that I couldn't understand him. I was overwhelmed and put the cigarette on the flor and my hands in the air. At the end I figured out that there was a little non smoking sign behind me, that I didn't see and that I should have went 10 m to the smoking area. My fault! They charge you extra for every little thing. So I could have stayed in a regular hotel much more comfortable. It is complicated to get there. There is a bus somewhere downtown. I never found it. But I saw a shuttle bus going to town. I think it is every hour except from 11:00 to 15:00. If u call a taxi they charge you 40HKD extra. I had a whole four person sleeping room for myself. But I got a cold cause the heater doesn't work. I have a cold now. The good thing is that there is a big kitchen you can use. The bad thing on it is that you have to go downtown to buy food. So I asked something for breakfast. They only have Cereals with bread and eggs. They don't had bread anymore , so I got 1 egg extra. The instant coffee was bitter and disgusting but the advantage of it is, that I am awake now. They charge 10HKD more for a extra cup of milk.
