I recently stayed at YHA Jockey Club Mt. Davis Youth Hostel, and it was an experience worth sharing! If you're looking for a peaceful retreat away from the city's hustle while still being within reach of all the action, this is the place to be. What I Loved: ✅ Breathtaking Views: The hostel is perched on Mt. Davis, offering panoramic views of Victoria Harbour, especially at sunrise and sunset—absolutely stunning! ✅ Affordable & Great Value: Compared to most accommodations in Hong Kong, this hostel offers great value for money, making it a budget-friendly option for travellers. ✅ Tranquil Atmosphere: Unlike hotels in the city centre, this place is surrounded by nature, perfect for those who want a relaxing stay. ✅ Friendly Staff: The hostel staff were welcoming and helpful, providing useful tips on getting around. ✅ Outdoor Common Area: There’s a nice outdoor area where you can sit back, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the views. A Few Things to Note: 🔹 Location & Transport: Since the hostel is located on a hill, getting there requires taking a shuttle bus (provided by the hostel) or a taxi. If you prefer a more adventurous route, a scenic hike up Mt. Davis is an option, of course please do it during the day time. 🔹 Basic Amenities: This is a youth hostel, so don’t expect luxury. The rooms are simple but clean, with basic beds and shared facilities. Bring your own toiletries for added comfort. 🔹 Limited Dining Options: There isn’t a restaurant on-site, so it’s best to bring your own food or plan to eat before heading up. The common kitchen is available for light meal prep. 🔹 WIFI coverage & Speed, the signal in room is very pool, I started a 10 mins YouTube video at night and cannot reach to the end after sun rise. Overall Experience: If you're an adventurer, a backpacker, or someone looking for a quiet escape with fantastic views, I highly recommend this hostel. It may not be for those seeking high-end comforts, but for nature lovers and budget-conscious travellers, it’s a hidden gem on Hong Kong Island! 🌿🏙️ Would I stay here again? Yes! Just be prepared for the location challenge, but once you get there, the views are totally worth it.

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

This one and only youth hostel occupies a whole hilltop with spectacular views of Hongkong harbour and is especially well placed for seeing sunsets and sunrises. Well run and funded by the HK Jockey Club it has become a popular destination for young tourists visiting Hongkong. The large two part shared kitchen allows for preparation work before a barbecue which is de riguer for locals seeking time out. Great place!

A timeless prospect of Hong Kong, especially during the sunset and night

Good for gathering

It always amzing to stay at one of the best location in hk. Cool wind...rain drops...

The hostel provided all necessities in a very reasonable way that what should we expected. Excellent mountain top harbour view. Worth on spending time to stay here as a base for few days short hikes to enjoy the views around HK Island.

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.

Overall a nice place with great view Amidst the heart of nature.
