Unlike:
There is some insect, bedbags, towel must be change every 2 days
Over all: Good and i recommend Skycity Hostel for rent.
This is the scariest hotel I have experienced in my whole life. If you a women, girls, family don’t even think about to come to this hotels. I don’t recommend at all. The location is just inside the shops area but you will feel unsafe to stay in that hotels.

The elevator to get to the property was the slowest elevator I have ever ridden it was very small the place was very busy so it took 10 to 15 minutes just to get from the ground floor to your room and the same amount of time when you wanted to leave killed one huge cockroach in the room the property itself was located in a very nice area and close to everything
This “hotel” is part of Chungking Mansions. Please google search that this before staying here!!
The room is tiny - nowhere to put suitcase, smells like grease as there are restaurants on different floors. There was a stain on bed which looked like blood that had been washed (this is just a guess though). The shower is literally above the toilet and they provide you shower shoes to wear on the bathroom which indicates how clean it is.
There are exposed electric wires in hallway. There are cameras in the elevator that people watch from the bottom floor while waiting for their elevator and make sure you get the right one as each block has 2 elevators - one goes to even number levels and one to odd number levels. The bottom floor is food and electronic places and people constantly trying to stop you and sell rooms and suits etc.
We heard from another hotel that they don’t change sheets - if they still look okay when someone checks out they will just remake the bed. This is just hearsay but because of the stain I am inclined to think it’s true.
Bottom line - I guess if you’re looking for a cheap place to stay and don’t mind all the above things I mentioned then you could stay here. I would recommend your own shower slippers and bed sheet though.

Overall it’s ok...but when morning time like 5 o’clock there are people who cook at that time. So from your room you can smell it...
This hotel has no signage at all. Impossible to find from the street. Ringing hotel was no help , they just kept giving me the address no directions. After asking 10 locals one of them pointed to a tiny corridor which led to an elevator. Wasn't too I got to the 13th floor that I found a sign for the hotel. Only to find reception unmanned, waited for 20mins before anyone arrived. Only stayed one night couldn't wait to get out of there.
The guy at reception is very kind but the rest is quite disappointing. I was given a micro-room of 4m2 including the bathroom with no windows. There is no even place to have your suitcase inside the room so the corridor is packed with the suitcases and towels of the people in form all rooms and there are no common areas. The hotel is split accross different buildings therefore no survelliance on those buildings but for the one where the reception desk guy is sitting. It looks like a scam when you get into the place. It is literally an appartment split into micro-rooms that act as hotel rooms. It is a very big building full of hotels/hostels. The lifts have long waiting lines as there is constant traffic of people. I would not recommend it if you are a woman travelling on your own.
Since the review system is censored and I didn't swear I thought I would put my review in another way. The hotel is good, clean and the staff are friendly. However the local area of chungking mansion is terrible. You are going to get bothered constantly from organized crime such as drug dealers etc. They will become an annoyance so please for the love of god. Do not take your family or love ones here. Stay here if this is your last choice. The hotel isn't bad just the area.
Close to everything you need, to and from airport just a breeze, take A21 from there
But be sure come to bus stop early.There are a lot of people, buy round trip tickets
From airport is cheaper when using same bus on returning to airport.
The room is small like many low priced Hotel's. The staff is very helpful and polite and the rooms are cleaned everyday. Each room has a safe and small refrigerator and the air conditioning works very well and each has it's own toilet/ shower. The only downside is no satellite or cable channels. There is 1 English channel which is Pearl, but has English tv shows at night. Chungking mansion house's many hostels. The entrance isn't so nice with all sorts of people but if you ignore them. You'll be ok.
Three of us arrived in a room so small all 3 couldn't stand at the same time (so we had to sit on the bed majority of time). Toilet was so small I crushed my head against the wall while struggling to turn and reach for toilet rolls. All of our 5 luggages had to be stored under the bed and only one can be taken at a time. I slept right under where the air-con was blowing and there's no way to adjust. At night you will hear humming noise from it, so my advice is to do so many activities during days they tire you out by night so you can sleep easily.
Dont get me wrong, you get what you pay, but to give you some comparison, a few days before I also stayed in a one-bed in another guest house with same price, I got a slightly bigger toilet and a roughly same space outside. That is a one-bed vs. a three-bed.
I won't even bore you with the overall building. Advice is, avoid Chungking Mansion at all costs. It's dirty, crowded, and will confuse the hell out of you.
The plus point was the staff was very nice, but I guess I can't sleep or stand on top of this niceness, can I?
We were prepared for small and it was, but our room had everything we needed for our short stay in Hong Kong, even harbour glimpses. The hotel was in a good location, close to shops, restaurants, attractions and harbour. Our room was clean, included a fridge and safe and the shower was hot. Microwave plus hot and cold drinking water were available in the foyer. Staff were pleasant and helpful.
