Actually it was the nightmare. First it started with arguing regarding deposit. Omg what deposit??? And the fault is on the side of Trip.com as there wasn’t clearly written and visible that. If so then I would never choose it. And the place was so old, bed small to me as I’m 186cm tall I can’t comfortably stretch my self. And the worst nightmare was the service. On the reception was a woman probably from Philippines who pretended she doesn’t understand English. And she was so rude, calling me in Chinese f…g bad…d as many other bad words. She thinks I don’t understand her but I keep calm. I don’t suggest anyone to visit this place.
Response from Property: First, the web shows clearly that there are $200 deposit at the time you check in and will be refunded at the time you check out.Second, the rooms are very small in Hong Kong which is known by worldwide I believed. If you have some expectation for the room size and room environment, you should read clearly at the details shown online. The size and photo show online will help you to solve your question.Finally, the staffs cannot speak English in the reception, so they are not pretended not to understand.

Have stayed here twice since 2017 and will likely stay here again. Meets all of a solo traveler's basic needs. Location is great.
Response from Property: Thank you so much. Hope to see you soon again and again.

not comfortable for staying
Response from Property: How uncomfortable that was? Hong Kong is very small, but the population and land price are very high. Therefore, the space is very crowd. Hope customers understanding this point. What you pay what you get! We do believe there were many customers satisfied our place and service as you can find in comments.

It's very clean. There are toothbrushes. The landlord's house also has sockets that don't require converters. It's very convenient to travel. It's also very lively. It's a very pleasant trip.

1. I have to say that the location is pretty good. It's quite in the city center and close to the MRT station. 2. It's a bit like an apartment-style B&B without an elevator. The counter is on the 2nd floor. And seriously speaking, it is not suitable for the elderly or those with inconvenient legs and feet, because there is no elevator and it will be really cold to carry luggage. 3. If you have extreme mysophobia, it may not be suitable, but basically you get what you pay for. Cheap and suitable for buying travel petty bourgeoisie. The door lock of the toilet is broken and there is no external window. The smell is a bit stronger. 4. Is there any service? Then there is no service. The price is very cheap and there is no service. No bottled water provided. This is the first time I’ve encountered a manual morning call knocking on the door.

The air conditioner in the room above kept dripping all night. I couldn't sleep well the whole night.

Response from Property: Should I tell Auntie at the front desk about this situation? The front desk said that they have not received any such complaints!

It's really bad. The corridor going up is very dilapidated and has been under renovation. It's very noisy at night and during the day. The soundproofing is very rubbish. I can't have a good rest at all. The service attitude is also very speechless. I really don't treat customers as customers... Anyway, I'm just taking advantage of the whole place.

Response from Property: We also know who your guest is. The building is under maintenance. This is not within our jurisdiction. I believe the guest is not sleeping in the stairwell. Why doesn't the guest take photos of the room? And just shoot the stairwell? Because the room environment is worthy of the price, I have told guests many times that if they have requirements, they should not choose B&B-style hotels. They should instead go to some 3-4 star hotels that cost thousands of dollars. Hong Kong does not have a hotel-level standard environment that costs 300-400 yuan. As for the prices of goods and services in Hong Kong, prices are high. There is less land and more people but more money. You get what you pay for. Even transportation and accommodation are expensive! People who are not well-informed can’t understand the explanation. I hope other guests can read this reply from our hotel and make their own judgment!

I was thinking of going to Chungking Mansion, but I decided to go here because of Chungking Mansion's safety issues, but it's much more serious than Chungking Mansion.
First of all, it doesn't seem surprising if the electric distribution box at the entrance catches fire right away.
I understand that the rooms are small and have no windows, as this is something that was notified, but the smell of mold was too strong. The air conditioner drain goes into the bathroom, so the bathroom floor is always wet.
I was disgusted by the hair and pussy hair rolling around on the bed, wondering if they even cleaned it.
Although it is said to be non-smoking, there is an ashtray in the room, and the smell of cigarettes comes in from somewhere. Everyone seems to be smoking in their rooms.
The name is Hong Kong, but the front desk staff does not speak English.
The location of the Ladies Market is good... Safety and cleanliness issues are serious.

Response from Property: It is mentioned online that there is no escalator in the building. And also, the space in Hong Kong is small. I believed this is known worldwide even you live in 5 stars hotels. If customer wants 5 stars service and room facilities, please not to choose licensed hostels. Thank you!

The most rubbish hotel in Hong Kong, bar none

Response from Property: It is stated online that a deposit (cash) is required for check-in, which will be refunded upon check-out. The guests started making a fuss when they heard that the deposit was required, so other guests are asked to judge the quality of such guests by themselves!

Walk up 3 floors, the way up is narrow and scary. The room is small, understandable, acceptable. But found 2-3 cockroaches in the room. Luckily we only used the room to store our bags, not to stay overnight.

Response from Property: We are located in the old building, sometimes it is very hard to control the outside environment. We will do our best to have pest control regularly.

Located in the heart of Mong Kok, it is convenient to travel, no noise, and you can have a peaceful sleep at night.
