Lost in Translation

Its a tiny HOSTEL, not a hotel. The staff speaks punjabi and body language. Finding the hostel is very difficult as the location is very unsafe, crowded with indians and black immigrants. You have to queue for the lift cuz the hostel is based on a floor with unbreathable small rooms. Washbasin is so small that water will drain out on floor, stand up shower with a glass sliding door to put up a nude show, beds are small in congested noisy room that you might fall down. WiFi is free but not available most of the time.

Spent one night here. Location is minutes away from the mrt. Cheapest and fastest way to get here from the airport is to go to Kowloon station and take the free hotel shuttle for the hyatt. It's located in the chungking mansion building. Keep in mind this is a hostel and it's one of the cheapest hostels. Rooms are clean and so are the sheets and bathrooms. I booked a single occupancy room which they were sold out on so they upgraded me to a triple room with no charge. There is a small security deposit which they want in cash. Not a big deal. Air cond was cold and in good working order. I would not bring a family here but it is a good option for people on a budget. I would stay here again the next time I return to hong kong.

We stayed for 1 night. The room is very tiny and dirty. The bed is uncomfortable. Its seem like storeroom not bedroom. The building is very old and provided only 2 lift which always busy, stop in every floor. Mostly people in the building is black, arab, indian with a few chinese (This is what I see and I feel unsafe to be in their place). The stuff is friendly but not helpful. The location is good, located in the shopping area and close to MTR.

Do not be fooled this is not hotel but cheap hostel
Location: Kowloon - yes good but the entrance is dodge, lifts awful
Staff barely speaks English - so don't expect any help or any advice of you will need anything
Rooms tiny - I know all rooms in hong kong are small but this is unbelievable. Room has one tiny window - very claustrophobic.
Toilet - little box with shower over toilet
Bed sheets stained
Towels so old that you holes started to appear
No pillows - just square foam instead
Unbearable even for backpackers ( and yes we backpacked a lot)
Will not recommended

The rooms are clean and cozy. Air conditioning works great and free wifi with excellent range. The service was also excellent. The lady who worked the front desk was very sweet and friendly and accommodated to our every need. She was half the reason we enjoyed this hostel so much. Highly recommended. Room size is small but to be expected in Hong Kong. Only downside was busy market on bottom floor and crowded elevators.

The place is just one mrt ride to ocean park and is very convenient there are supermarket near the chungking mansion and other midnight market.The place is not that scary a little intimidating at first glance but once you been there for more than a day you get use to people there. The receptionist rowena is very friendly she will accommodate you in an instant. She is very cheerful and if you have any question she will not hesitate to help. The place is quite clean if your not too choosey it can be a great place to stay and relax. What is great is there are free hot water, coffee and they have microwave. They even have a free computer used for internet and a fast WIFI for those who brought there laptop.
