Horrible

It was horrible. They say your booking is confirmed then when u get there is cancelled. We booked a triple bed and ended up getting single with zero space to even breathe. Area you have to pass through to get there is disgusting.

Reception is 11th floor

The problem of going to the 15th floor to find no-one there was resolved this time because of a sign now saying reception is on the 11th floor. Then I went there and was taken to 17th floor in Area A. Why tell people to go to the 15th floor? Just tell them reception is on 11th floor. At least I got a room this time. So small I am glad it was one night. Quiet room, good area but so small.

Very close to the city and train station, convenient for first time travelers to Hongkong. Place is no good if you want to stay in the room for the whole duration of your holiday, room is very small. I don't recommend people who are claustrophobic. Toilet is small and wet. Staff is not really accommodating.

Locked out, no-one home.

I showed up about 11:05pm. The place was shut, no-one answered the door. I had to find alternate accommodation. I was tired and it was hot. Do I have to pay? I have a non-refundable booking for my return to HK tomorrow. Will they be open? Is 11pm too late to stay open for a business that offers accommodation to travellers?

Small, but quiet room

Location wise, Chungking Mansion is perfect, 30 steps away from MTR TST Exit E, walking distance away from Harbour City to visit Avenue of Stars- It's closed at this moment though; Clock Tower, Star Ferry,enjoy Symphony of Lights in the evening, Space Museum and taking a ferry to Macau is easy. Price of all guests houses here is cheap compare to any other hotels in the area, as expected, people from different nations flocked at this building, elevators more often than not have long line of people, so be patient.

Beware of scam!

I got scammed by this hotel in Hongkong. They said my credit card didn't go through for reservation. so they cancel my booking. So, no more room for us to stay. I went there with family of 12 person. I booked for 3 rooms, for June 13-18, 2018. but they don't have the rooms for us. Instead, I have to pay additional HK$ 600 for 3 rooms in cash, so they can find another hotel room for us. I have no choice, it was heavy rain and already dark outside. So I paid penalty HK$ 600 for cancelled room + rent new room for us HK$ 4711 = total HK$ 5311 IN CASH! Now I back in my office and found out they charged full amount of my booking of 5 nights x 3 rooms. They said my credit card didn't go through, but now they charged my Credit card. More work now for me to dispute for this transaction with my credit card. In Chungking mansion, where the hostel is located, they have group of hostels: Marrigold Hostel, NewLondon Hostel, Kabayan Hostel, Mabuhay Hostel. Beware of this kind of scam!

Hotel staff asked for $500 extra to allow checkin

We two friends had confirmed booking for this hotel. But when we arrived for check-in, the hotel staff refused to let us check in unless we paid an extra $500. They told us to go and find another hotel if we can't pay the extra $500. Our booking was for only $320 and we were asked to pay $500 on top of it or leave!! Can you believe it? Why would I pay in advance and have a confirmed booking if the hotel just doesn't let us checkin when we arrive? It's blatant extortion!! This hotel goes by another name as well - Marigold. We talked to the manager, showed them our confirmed bookings but they refused to let us if we didn't pay the extra amount in caah. Book this hotel at your own peril. And forget about the Hotels.com discounts, hotels like this will force you to pay more anyway when you arrive.

Comfortable Stay

This was a brilliant choice amongst the many hostels around this area. The staff were very helpful and took our luggage up to the rooms. The beds, towels and toilets were very clean. The location was also brilliant as the MTR was so close. The staff were very nice and gave suggestions for places to eat
