    The noise - walls are really thin. The smell - every evening the room smelled like a kitchen. Possibly cause of bad ventilation in the building. The building - "hotel" is located on the 9th floor of a huge building, on the first floor you can find loads of Indian and Arab shops. And some people do all the time want to sell you something calling you "brother".

    The hotel is located in a city centre and it's easy to get there. Towels were changed every day and the room was also cleaned.

    Black mould, cockroaches and sketchy location
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    This felt like an extremely unsafe place to stay. Read up on history of Chungking Mansions! My room door did not lock when you were inside and was hard to lock when leaving. The room was extremely cold with windows that didn't fully close and there was no heating. The shower head did not fit in the bracket so was unable to have a handsfree shower. I found black mould and more black mould leaching out of the shower head. I also found cockroaches. I only spent one night here as upon waking in the morning my chest was tight and wheezy.

    The instructions emailed to me by the property were slightly helpful. Couldv'e had more detail i.e what lift to take or where to find the entrances

    There’s nothing to not like about the rooms we’re given for sure. The doors are secure and the rental property is clean, but the building itself might be a little too uncomfortable if you’re not used to this kind of accommodation in Hong Kong. The elevators were small, though they are quite quick and cater to specific floors. Finding the guesthouse took a bit of time as there were plenty of them in the building, and each block had a handful, so please review your guesthouse’s location properly. I also saw a lone roach near the elevator, but that’s to be expected as there were food and fresh fruits downstairs. They do not get in the property, thankfully, as that would be quite the problem.

    Located in the Chungking Mansions, it’s literally just 5 minutes away by foot from Tsim Sha Tsui station through iSquare. Nothing beats that short distance after a long day of exploring! The beds were clean and comfy, as is are the bathrooms. The receptionists were kind and helpful. There is a common area with free to use microwave and hot water. The first floor of the building has a rich selection of Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, and even African food that are amazingly affordable, especially if you’re looking for big portions on a budget. There are also money changers and little market-style shops that sells toiletries, fruits, and gadget necessities. It could get loud and crowded, but if you’re used to this kind of setting, it shouldn’t be a problem. Most people just keep to themselves anyhow.

    very warm and accomodating Filipino staffs and property manager. they make up room and change towels every day. the place is clean and location is just perfect to travel around. being in building C, u wont be able to hear the noise from the busy nathan road in Tsim Sha Tsui. we stayed for 4 nights and everything went well. great value for money :)

    You get what you paid for. There were cockroaches in the room. The building itself looks unclean. The elevator was not working so I had to carry my luggage 1 floor down. Elevator was small and limited so you had to wait for a long time before you can ride the elevator. One time I had to wait for 30mins. The stairway is also unclean.

    Location wise - it's good. Reception is also easy to contact.
