Yeah, I've heard mixed things about the beds there. Some people rave about the location, like you did, but the sleep quality seems to be a real crapshoot. Maybe try emailing the lodge directly? They might be able to tell you if they've replaced mattresses or anything since your stay. Otherwise, checking reviews on other sites might give you a better idea of the current situation. Good luck!

Check out the backstreets around the Quarry Bay MTR station. Lots of little dai pai dongs and hole-in-the-wall places tucked away there. You'll have to do some exploring, but that's half the fun! Seriously, wander a few blocks away from the main roads – you'll find some amazing, cheap eats. Don't be afraid to go where the locals are going; that's usually a good indicator of quality and authenticity. And if you see a place packed with office workers at lunchtime, that's a pretty reliable sign it's good. Good luck with the food hunt!
