Given that there are multiple Hop Inn hostels, this one is for the newest location on Mody Road. Conveniently located in TST, this hostel is perfecttttttt for travelers. Not only is this hostel close to the subway (MTR), but it's also close to local restaurants, 7-11, and other shops.
For the hostel itself, prices are reasonable. I booked my reservation through Hostelworld.com and had reserved a double ensuite room. The room itself was nice. For a double, it included a shower + toilet. The shower worked nicely (had great water pressure!) and overall, the room was clean and tidy. While the room itself wasn't extremely big, it was spacious enough for two people. Plus, having a TV in the room was a nice touch and everything from Wifi to A/C worked smoothly.
As for the common room area, it's pretty small but clean. Included in your stay is free access to the kitchen area for basic needs (water, tea, coffee) and also a fridge to store your food. Another perk that I really enjoyed at this hostel was the luggage storage. If you check in / out early, you can simply leave your stuff at the hostel and go out and do your thing. However, your luggage isn't securely locked behind a room but rather, it's just against the wall that is directly across from the receptionist. So if you're leery about someone taking off with your bag, I wouldn't recommend storing anything valuable in your luggage. In general though, I did feel safe leaving my bag there (since it was just clothes + toiletries).
Overall, the stay here was very pleasant. I would definitely stay here again! read more
