Wontonmeen

What a unique shop! The owner is so thoughtful and community-oriented.

While many hostels in Hong Kong have toilets and showers in the same area, this one has separate bathrooms, making it clean and comfortable. The rooms are small, but perfect for a short solo trip. The owner was kind enough to give me recommendations on places to eat and drink. It's a bit of a walk from the subway station, but there are plenty of restaurants, massage parlors, supermarkets, and convenience stores nearby.

I had the great pleasure of a nine-day extended stay at Wontonmeen's "cassette tape" superior double room in mid-to-late January 2026 with my boyfriend. I was a monthly tenant in the building for a year in the 2010s and was excited to see what Patricia had done to the place since then. Our room, while small, was comfortable for two people. The design and attention to detail was impressive, with a lot of hand-made/built elements. Since this room is situated in the back of the building, it was a lot quieter without much street noise, aside from the occasional siren or motorcycle engine. As longer-term guests, we found that Wontonmeen was also very functional. We made use of its communal kitchen a few times to cook veggies and reheat leftovers (which we stored in a communal fridge). There are multiple self-serve laundromats close by, and you can hang your items to dry on the shared rooftop. A filtered water dispenser, a hot water kettle and a vintage scale for weighing luggage were available for use in our shared corridor. While Wontonmeen isn't as centrally located in Hong Kong (an 8-min walk from Prince Edward MTR) I think it gives you a better glimpse into the local Hong Kong experience. It's also a lot quieter and less crowded than some of the more centrally located neighbourhoods, which helped us to have a more peaceful and less stressful visit. The immediate neighbourhood is really fun and interesting to walk around, too -- a lot of light industry shops doing car repair, selling sewing machines, sewing notions and leather. We loved wandering into Sham Shui Po, too, for their more lively and local market streets. We paid multiple visits to Heartwarming, for black sesame desserts (get the lava pudding and soft serve!) and Ten Noodle Shop for the lightest, bounciest fish balls I have ever had. Wontonmeen is an incredible deal for what you get. Patricia could be charging more per room but I think she's running this business from her heart -- not just to turn a profit.

Hostel with a good location close to the metro station, local markets, various dining and vintage shopping options. You will find helpful suggestions for locations of interest in the vicinity of the hotel through their guest WhatsApp group. Staff is friendly. They have a roof top and common area where you can meet and chat with other guests. The rooms were cute and quirky. It was a bit cold though when we visited in January, I recommend bringing slippers.

Creates loud music every night

My first solo trip was nerve-wracking. But after staying here, I can say it's a fantastic choice. The environment is great, the location is excellent, and transportation is convenient. I wasn't scared even getting back to the hotel at 11 pm; the roads are wide and safe! There are also security cameras. I highly recommend this place for solo female travelers.

My my friend lives here his mom owns the literal hostel do not object My friends parents are artists

Very artsy and aesthetic hostel. The room was okay, but they don't have black out curtains. They have Dyson airstrait though.

Great little hostel. Would stay again! Thankyou

Finding Wonton Noodles on my first visit to Hong Kong was such a lucky find! The location was close to the subway station yet still offered a peaceful stay. The guesthouse owner was incredibly polite and friendly. The room was clean and tidy, and the guesthouse had a strong Hong Kong vibe! I loved it, and I'll definitely stay at Wonton Noodles again next time I'm in Hong Kong!

I only stayed one night. In a double room with shower. Which for a Hong Kong Hostel/guest house was huge as was the very comfortable bed. The shower and bathroom were also big and not over the toilet like many places I have stayed and very clean as was the the whole hostel. The person who check me in could not have been more friendly, helpful or jolly. I also briefly met the owner in the lift who was also very friendly and chatty. It is a great part of town to stay if you want see something different then the usual tourist traps of Hong Kong. I will definitely stay again next time I am passing through
