No wonders why it as so many bad reviews. Sometimes i dont give much about them but this time, they were all true.
The only positive thing is the location. which is great. But its super small, there is no "chill" area,which makes a hostel a good place so you can socialize with others. But, what made me want to leave that place as soon as posible, was the staff, super rude. Specially the lady at the front desk. I wouldnt recommed people to stay here.
I (a female) went by myself, and was never in any danger. Never saw any bed bugs or other insects/bugs. Yes, it is a small room, but you get what you pay for. My t.v. and fridge did not work. The blow dryer was very noisy and you could only use it for a few minutes at a time before it stopped working. There was hot water available right outside my room. If you're on a budget and not picky, then you'll be alright to stay here. The biggest inconvenience was having to leave a deposit for your room key and having to make another payment for the "cleaning fee" in HK dollars.
Yes, waiting for the elevator was a hassle most of the time. I mostly took the stairs.
Charge me $125 for Serv charge, give me no towels and nothing Suply. Never clean my room, the worker sleeping in my room when I check in. And do
Not change after he sleep in my bed. BR is so small and can’t wash up easily. Some workers a man and a lady was very bad manners.
The lift is a real problem. Always a long queue plus a rude lift women cleaner . The night shift Indian man always put up a long face ! No topping of toiletries. Not much moving space inside the room and windows are all lock-up, that including the corridor window. If someone got a cold it will spread to everyone and when there is a fire smoke will kill you first because all windows are closed tight. The mineral water dispense was empty for days till I left !
The only thing that I can say is if a traveler wants an enjoyable accommodation experience, book for a better hotel. But if you want a cheaper hotel to stay and good proximity and doesn’t care about the service and facility and convenience, as well as safety, then by all means this hotel is for you. I completely regret booking this hotel. Well, pictures can really be deceiving.
Quite disappointing bec of the room size and elevator too small and slow. I think they need to change the picture so as not to mislead future guests. One good thing is the location, close to everything.
Not many signs and very hard to find. They charge a cleaning fee when you check in even though the bathroom isn’t clean. One bathroom shared between 18 people. Is not a proper shower but a water heater on the wall connected to a shower head therefore the shower wets the whole bathroom.

WiFi doesn't work very well, some of the staff didn't seem to care. Room was not as in the picture provided. But the room is clean it's in the Indian section of Hong Kong. Plenty of indian food convenient location. Easy to take the bus to and from airport. Bus A21 is good choice for that trip
Staff of the hotel was very accommodating but the hotel and the rooms are too small. We asked for towel for two but they told us that towels are only available in the morning! And the beds!? Bed bugs got all over my body that I couldnt sleep anymore, and when we were about to check out. I saw the bed bugs crawling in our beds with i think my blood on it!!! Worse experience
Was small, once inside in comments n areas was pretty clean, but outside wasn’t. Also the bed was enclosed and barley fitted into the room. I had to sleep diagonally - with my bags on the bed - to make myself fit
I called to hotel as I couldn't find the location, but the rude staff ignored me and just cut my call. I called three times because the staff keep cut my call with any replying.
And the room was very dirty, smelly and small.
I was very shocked because cockroaches and spider were crowling on my bed.
I booked 10 floor but there was no room and staff asked me go down to 6 floor, and never informed how to find the room.
this guest house is very irresponsible and have no manners for clients.

Convenient and clean and close to the Star Ferry
We would definitely recommend this guest house as a really budget priced clean place to stay. The access and the lifts are a little off putting but once in the room all is comfortable with daily room service.
And plenty of hot water.

Good price great location basic room
Everything was great. Room was clean and staff was helpful. Wifi was fast and reliable. In room fridge was great to have and the AC kept it comfortable. Microwave and hot water available in the lobby. This was a great, basic home base for a few days in HK. I would stay here again. A little hard to find at first, but once you figure out the elevator/block locations it's a snap. Walking into Chungking Mansions the first time can be a little overwhelming. So much going on all at once! If it's your first time take it slow, walk around, get the layout, and you'll be fine and have a great time.
