The question we get most often is: “Aren’t you the youth hostel that charges by the night?”
No. But it’s a fair mix-up — both really are inside the same village.
One village, two ways to stay
RUNWAY 1331 is the arts and culture village on the old Kai Tak runway. It holds more than 2,500 rooms, split into two kinds:
- The youth hostel charges by the night and suits travellers here for a few days.
- The youth apartments are let by the month, and the room stays yours. CityHome’s 1,000-plus units are these.
Who the monthly apartments are for
If you’re in Hong Kong for a semester, a work contract, or a stretch of your own creative time, what you need is a room you can unpack into — put posters up, arrange the desk the way you like it — not a bed you check out of every few days.
All four CityHome layouts are built that way: private bathroom, washing machine, fridge, desk and wardrobe all inside the room. Nothing shared, nothing queued for.
Working out which one you need
A simple split:
- Staying a night or two? You want the village hostel.
- Staying a month or more? You want us.
If you’re still unsure, come and see a room — that settles it fastest.
