Wonton Noodle Hostel is a youth hostel with a great sense of art and style, combining art with travel socialization. It's not so much a hostel as a showcase for art. Patricia, the owner of Wonton Noodle Hostel, is a designer who teaches interior design at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and he started the hostel because he loves the diverse and playful atmosphere of youth hostels and wants to recommend Hong Kong's diverse cultural elements to tourists.
The configuration and design of the Wonton Noodle Hostel has little to do with the Wonton Noodle Hostel, except that the name refers to the taste of Hong Kong. The interior is designed with ingenuity, boldly combining vintage and distressed furniture with original artworks from around the world, and wooden, leather furniture and industrial-style shapes coexist with clutter but without contradiction.
Not only does the Wanton Noodle Hostel provide beds, part of the ground floor is rented out to designers as studios, and there is also a separate café. Whether you're working, staying with guests or taking a break at a café, getting together to chat can be one of the fun things to do during your trip. The outdoor lounge area is also full of Hong Kong features, with neon signs on the outdoor wall with the word "Hong Kong", the sky between the buildings can be seen from between the concrete walls, and there are hammocks for napping. The indoor activity area is equipped with table tennis, darts games and other board games, etc., with a variety of games, so that guests can not only have fun but also make friends. In addition, Wanton Noodle Hostel will also organise a variety of activities, including art exhibitions of local Hong Kong designers, film screenings, band performances, etc.
There are not many room types in Wanton Hostel, only two types of rooms: mixed 10 rooms and double rooms. However, the interior decoration of the room is full of design, with the bunk beds in the mixed room for 10 people staggered, and a shelf in the middle of the bed. Use an iron mesh to divide the bottom of the bed, and when locked, it becomes a small private storage room. Each bed is equipped with a reading light and socket for the convenience of every guest. Toilets are equipped with cleaning supplies, hair dryers, toilet paper, and the common kitchen is equipped with kitchen utensils such as microwaves, kettles, and toasters. The double room is a separate room, and there are various retro film covers, movie posters, etc., which are quite artistic and retro to take pictures from any corner. There are tips and hostel announcements posted on the door of the room, and the design is very user-friendly.
In order to facilitate the travel of guests, Wanton Noodle Hostel also has a separate bicycle rental service to provide guests with a different way of traveling. In addition, barbecue equipment is also available, so you only need to make a reservation in advance. Pets are allowed at Wanton Noodle Hostel, but advance notice is required, otherwise a separate fee will be charged. The accommodation areas are all non-smoking, and there is also a smoking area for wonton noodles if you want to smoke.
The cost of a single bed in Wanton Noodle Hostel is about 175 Hong Kong dollars, and a double room is about 400 Hong Kong dollars a night, and it is only a 10-minute walk from Prince Edward MRT station. In addition to the lack of beds, the configuration of the Wonton Noodle Hostel is impeccable, and due to the shortage of beds, it is always necessary to book early.
