I have stayed at a few places in Chungking Mansion and they were horrible. Musty windowless rooms so small you can't even open the door all the way because the bed takes up most of the floorspace. Last week I was stranded at a ferry terminal at 2am and had no place to stay. Every hotel I called was full.... More

Stayed a couple of days with my friends, though rooms are very small, common ammenities are found. What is important is its location to some notable shops, the place is along Nathan road, walking distance to shopping centers, harbour center. Never mind those "little Indians" it's safe to tourists.

Specific Hostel: Carlton guest house (16th floor) Positive points: - great location (if you up for a very busy and uptempo Kowloon) - Cheap for Hong Kong Negative points: - Watch out you dont get scammed about the room price. We did a check on sites like tripadvisor and booking.Com, etc and the prices were much lower then what they... More

Firstly, don’t be afraid of ChungKing Mansions. Despite many dubious reviews in many online reports, we found it safe and unproblematic, though we understand that the mass of Indian peddlers in the lobby could be daunting to some at first. Any offers for contraband can simply be ignored - just opportunists hanging round where tourists are. The room we had... More

this place is still in my nightmares..but its cheap so stay there if you are adventourous :) except to be kept awake at night.

I can maybe tolerate 1 to 2 small roaches on the floor but killing 6 in 2 days; 3 on the walls, 2 on the floor and one in the bed, I mean come on! One was huge, laying on its back under one of the beds. This was in #13 room on the 3rd floor, so do not stay... More

Spent our new year in HK. Location was wonderful, right at the heart of tsim sha tsui, and it was just right beside Holiday Inn, HK. We actually booked Park Guesthouse at 15th floor, but the lady told us the place was overbooked and thus recommended Chungking hse to us. It was probably a blessing in disguise as this hostel...

I have stayed in the hotel many times, sometimes at very short notice, and Paul the manager has always found me a room. It is what you pay for and I love it, not luxury but clean but why pay high prices when you are asleep most of the time! The whole building is an experience and I have taken... More

The ceiling tiles are a bit ugly...but so's one in my kitchen. The room itself was spotless, the bathroom just as clean. The room had no viewing window, but who cares? I didn't fly half way around the world to see Hong Kong out of a window. The window AC worked great (a blessing) and the free wireless internet was... More
