Runway 1331 - Enlight Youth Hostel

Very nice hotel. Clean. But shuttle bus finish around 9 pm. So need to take mini bus after the shuttle bus stops.

Grammar & Polished Version Cleanliness: When I slept on the mattress, my whole body felt itchy. Service: The female receptionist had a really bad attitude. I asked her for a quieter room after she assigned me one on the first floor, even though I had already made this request online. She became annoyed when I asked for a room on the third floor. Location: It was in a really bad area, very far from the city, and Uber would not accept rides from my location.

The location is not close to the community. The room is small but it is fair enough with $200/night. Also, nice view~ 2 desks for working is superb.

It is all about price performance. I have stayed here not 3 times for a few days in different rooms. For a very low price you get a relatively clean, quiet and spacious (16m2) room near the center of HK.  You cannot get cheaper than this with the same quality. The major tradeoffs: less connected to public transport than usual, no shops or eateries nearby, and wife can be spotty at the edge of the hotel. The special 1331 bus for this location stops running basically after 21:00. Other busses do stop in the surroundings (a few hundred meters away) but not in front of the door. The cruise terminal next door has busses stopping, but missess clear indications to find the Runway 1331 and is not well integrated into it, fences all around with only a few openings, some of which are closed late in the evening, necessitating a long walk around the large facility to the entry point at the beginning. A special mention for the shower that does not always get hot. It is the model with the heater unit in the shower, which is a very small space in the toilet. In the small space your body easily hits the shower water handle. There will be water on the toilet floor, particulalry is there is not shower curtain which can happen. Shampoo/shower gel and paper/cotton towels have to be bought at the reception. The receptionist told me that the lack of shampoo/shower gel was because Hong Kong legally forbids disposeable plastics. This is true but earlier they did have large reflillable shampoo/shower gel bottles. In other words, they want to save money. Sadly their shampoo/shower gel was sold out when I was there. Personnel is nice, but there is plenty room for management initiated improvement. See the photo’s: the schedule as of April 2026 for the bus from Kaitak (MTR) to Runway 1331, the reception at Runway 1331 as seen from the bus, and the price list for towels and so on in the reception of Runway 1331.
