It seems impossible because my trip is November 2012 so I asked again ‘What month will reserve if my trip is on November?’ and they said “book 3-4 months before the trip”. I made my reservation again last August 2012 but I still got the same answer, “fully booked”. I was really worried because I know that it is not easy to look for affordable accommodation in Hongkong.
It became my dilemma for one week; I really wanted Golden Crown because of the location and price but too bad they’re fully booked. I can’t blame them because they are really popular guesthouse in Hongkong.
Thank God I found Yiu Fai Guesthouse, they are located at Golden Crown Building too so I did not hesitate to book a room. Reserving a room is easy, I just emailed them and I was told to deposit $HK400 via Paypal and the rest I will pay upon arrival.

If you love spacious room, hostel is not for you because the room is really small even the restroom is small. But we always travel on a budget so hostel is fine with us as long as we have a clean bed and clean restroom.

DeleteHi Michi,
ReplyDeleteI've been considering staying at Yiu Fai since there's no available at Golden Crown as well. Would you know if this is the same as New Yiu Fai and Hao's Inn?
Thanks!
Hi, I have no idea about Hao's Inn but I think New Yiu Fai and Yui Fai has the same owner.
