In Hong Kong, mahjong is also referred to as mahjong, and the whole space is themed around mahjong. Unlike youth hostels with large backgrounds such as Meihe and campus hostels, Sparrow Inn takes a small and individual route.
The Sparrow Inn has only 5 rooms, but it cleverly takes advantage of the characteristics of Hong Kong's snail house to create a youth hostel with 6, 8 and 10 beds. At the entrance, you can see a whole set of mahjong tiles printed on the floor tiles, and there are artistic paintings hanging on the walls. The decoration of the public area of the front desk is also very thoughtful, the sofa, dining table, bar counter, etc. are all based on the theme of mahjong, the coffee table printed with the word "10,000", and the cushions of mahjong cards are personalized and interesting, and it is extremely kind to many "mahjong friends". The bar has a view of the street from the window, and there are two computers on the bar for free Internet access.
The interior design of the room returns to a simple and bright style, with wood-colored beds and black iron handles, which are neat and comfortable. The way the beds are bunk and low saves space, but each bed doesn't seem cramped. The beds are equipped with independent lighting, a safe is installed on the wall for use, and a combination lock cabinet is adopted, so you don't need to bring your own locks, so you can put your personal belongings without worrying about security. The inn makes clever use of the wall space, each bed is equipped with sockets and hangers, and the setting of extendable blackout curtains also ensures a relatively private space for everyone. Due to the limited space, considering the problem of guest suitcases, the Sparrow Inn has set up a separate large suitcase storage area in each room, so that even if it is crowded with 10 people, it is orderly. The inn also allocates space to public bathrooms and toilets, which are set up separately for men and women, taking into account security, and the setting of multiple washbasins will not cause a seat to be occupied when there are many people.
The service of the Sparrow Inn is also quite homely, because there are few rooms, the waiter can treat the guests more like friends. The inn is equipped with a map of Hong Kong and the surrounding environment for guests, and the service staff is also willing to act as a free tour guide to recommend nearby food and travel routes to Hong Kong, which has also become one of the ways to understand the customs of Hong Kong.
However, Sparrow Inn is located in To Kwa Wan, and there is no direct subway connection, so you need to take a bus or taxi to get there. The surrounding area is dominated by residential areas, and there are no commercial shopping malls such as Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay, so it is slightly inconvenient to go shopping, but it is just right to go deep into the life experience of residents. After the booking is successful, Sparrow Inn will send an email to the customer, including the transportation route guide from various transportation centers in Hong Kong to the inn, so there is no need to worry about the route. It should be noted that the reception of the Sparrow Inn is displayed as the 1st floor of the Pak Tai Building, but it is actually the 2nd floor of the mainland, there is no elevator and you need to walk upstairs, and guests with large luggage can contact the inn in advance to go downstairs to pick up.
The 10-seat bed at the Sparrow Inn is less than 200 Hong Kong dollars a night, which is a bargain for accommodation in Hong Kong. If you don't have a budget for your room rate, Sparrow Inn is a good and affordable option.
