YesInn @YMT

Top choice in Kowloon


Boasting an enviable location in the neon-clad heart of Yau Ma Tei, YesInn is a great base from which to soak up those local Hong Kong vibes. Pick from petite four-/eight-person dorms or rather nice doubles (some of the twins are bunks); a sociable kitchen has the obligatory beer fridge. Just a shame staff can be frosty.
