    Really small. Be tired when you get back to room because you can only lie down. Thought the bathroom above mine was leaking into my bathroom. Scared me.

    Close to everything. Museum, port Elizabeth, metro across the street. Room very inexpensive. Staff isn’t always there but when woman was there she was very nice and helpful.

    It's not easy for everybody to find it, since it's located in a building with many geust hauses and al ot of shops in the ground and first floor.

    Cozy clean small room, fit easily two persons, it had two small beds, it was ok for my height. the lady at the reception is friendly and helpful.

    Tiny, basic room in a perfect location
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Standard Single Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    This is a one-star hotel and the pics are suprisingly accurate. The rooms are tiny, just a twin bed, little desk, and one outlet. The bathroom is something. I had to ask where the shower was, because it's just a handheld showerhead on the wall between the toilet and sink. Make sure to turn on the heat switch, because it contols the hot water. Note... everything will get soaked! No actual towels provided, just paper, disposable ones.

    Location is perfect! In the actual building, it took a bit of time to find. Fine for a night.

    Well, I was not really expecting anything grand. I already knew the downsides of booking a hostel in Chungking mansions. The room has this smell that is really noticeable when you open the door, but the Lady Staff gave us an air freshener, and it wasn't a big deal after. It's a bit crowded on the ground floor.

    I liked how close it is to the MTR and other tourist destinations. You can also find a lot of shops around the area. The building is easy to find and is also near the bus stop. It can be a bit confusing to locate "E" where the guesthouse is but just follow the signs and you can also ask around. The room I booked was good for 3 and it was comfortable enough. We have our own bathroom, small but doable. I advise you bring your own bath towel since the one they're providing are the disposable ones. The lady staff is friendly, too. She let me checked in early without additional fee.

    Room was tiny (even for Hong Kong standards). Had to rotate moving to get past each other as a couple and not enough room for any bags. Toilet was also tiny with shower on top of toilet. Would suit a single traveller much better.

    Great location and room was very clean.

    Difficult to find, tucked away in a huge market building. Not really a dislike, just a bit inconvenient. The bathroom was essentially a toilet cubicle, which is fine, but the room was advertised as having a private bathroom and, although there was a shower hose, there wasn't enough space to be able to shower because of the toilet and a small sink.

    Comfy bed. Friendly host. Quiet room.

    Not a dislike, but a con to be mentioned: the room is small - the bed fills it - your luggage goes under the bed - didn't bother me at all. I wasn't in HK to hang around in a room. It's in Chungking Mansions - also not a problem for me, but it might put others off staying here.

    Clean room, friendly staff, secure enough, comfortable bed with amazing pillows! TV in room with access to NetFlix/YouTube etc., room had a window, which isn't always available. I was allowed to drop luggage before check-in. Water dispenser in foyer, shops & services on ground floor, proximity to 2 MTR stations. Great location.

    The bathroom was very tight and the guest house is located inside a very messy mall.

    The staff was very caring and helped me with all I needed and location is one of the best, near to subway station and near to the bay.

    The room is tiny, like I guess all of this type of accommodation in hong kong. But it's REALLY tiny. The bed practically takes all room, and it's not a really big bed. The bathroom is microscopic. But for hong kong it was cheap which was the reason why we booked it.

    The location is really good. It's a little hard to find, but they give you instructions. Very close to the subway and to the harbor . If you like jogging outside , that's the spot for you.

    Given that this is HKG, it is known that the room is very small. They also provided you with a disposable bath towel.

    Location & Value for money 😀 If you want to look for halal food, there are a lot of halal restaurants at the ground floor of this building ~ Chungking Mansion and it is probably the cheapest area eat and sleep in HKG. Location great. Just 10minutes away from Victoria Harbour / Star Ferry.

    They only gave me 2 disposable towels, which were very thin, to use for my 4-night stay; the shower and toilet are shared in a very small space, making for a very wet floor bathroom (after showering) in front of the toilet, which inconveniently limited my shower time to only just before me leaving my room for multiple hours (the time needed for the floors to sufficiently dry); I did see 1 ordinary small cockroach and 2 baby roaches during the entire stay (much less than what other people report seeing in other guest houses in this building); the room (1 full bed and 1 twin) was very small, but minimally acceptable in size for me (just one person in the room).

    The mattress was extremely comfortable; the room was very clean; the a/c was excellent; they provided purified water from their dispenser; the toilet was clean and with powerful flush; the doors closed slowly by themselves, preventing noise that other could hear, while preventing me from hearing others close their doors; decent size refrigerator for the guests to share; extremely quiet place-I didn't hear any other guests or anything from the outside during the entire 4 nights there; Sound-proofing (concrete walls) is top notch; great, interesting location, contrary to what many people believe; the room stays very dark, allowing to sleep late or take a day nap, without sunlight getting in; the owner allowed me to check in after the designated 10pm cut-off, due to my flight arriving later than expected; free snack food provided by the guest house; very comfortable pillows; comfortable blanket; no bad odors or mold smell in the room or common area.

    The most upsetting thing is lack of cleanness in the room.

    Everything has met the expectations. All that was promised in terms of facilities was there. Good staff, there was the shared kitchen with the microwave and fridge
