2-Star Hotels in Hong Kong, China

Our flight from the Philippines was delayed which made us miss our train. I decided to book this hostel so my children and I can have a place to stay for one night. This hostel is located within Chungking Mansions, which we are familiar with. The price was only Php 2,000 for a family room with private bathroom. As it turned out, I have checked in the same group of accommodations before; back in July when I also missed my train when my flight from Taipei to Hong Kong was delayed. This is located on Block D/E so the elevator was not as crowded. The reception incharge that night were two South Asian guys. They were swift and clear with their directions. We had to pay additional HKD 30 which I was already aware of when I booked on Trip. I believe this is a housekeeping charge. We checked in on the 10th floor Door 7F I think and then we were given instructions to go to the 16th F of Block E where our room is. It was a clean room with bathroom. We were not given free towels though. We did not ask anymore as it takes a lot of effort to go back to reception to ask for towels. It was the space that we needed for that night. We arrived at around 9:30 p.m. and checked out around 8 a.m. so we can carry on with the next leg of our trip. I'll recommend this hostel for those who are on a budget and are looking for a place to stay within the TSIM.SHA TSUI area. To get to Chungking Mansions from the airport, just take the A21 bus. It's cheap and stops right next to Chungking Mansions along the bustling Nathan Road. You can also opt to take the Airport Express to Kowloon, then just follow the sign to Austin Station (maroon line). In Austin, take the direction going to Wu Kai Sha, one stop in East Tsim Sha Tsui and then walk to the direction of Tsim Sha Tsui. Find Exit C and then Exit C1. You can see Chungking Mansions upon exit. Cross the street and you've arrived. Hope all of these helps.

Though the unit was quite small, I think it was a good value for the price. The location was very convenient, as it was close to DS Grocery, Lunfung, Ladies Market, the Bank of China, and the station. Everything you need is nearby, making it a great spot to stay. The owner/manager was also very accommodating and took care of all our requests. While it wasn’t the most luxurious place, I really appreciated their hospitality, and I still enjoyed my stay. I only stayed there to sleep and shower, so if you're looking to save money while being close to the center, this place could be a good option.

The staff is very sweet and welcoming. He was ready to store my luggage for free. The location is also very close to the TST station. However, the room is very small and the only issue which is a major one was beg bugs. I got bitten all over my leg. After the first night I raised this issue with the caretaker but he was like never had this issue before. I asked him if he can change my room but he said it’s super busy so he can’t so unfortunately i had to continue staying there as no other hotel was available. He said he will clean the room but I dont think that helped either as I was bitten more the next day. I did raise the issue with Trip.com but they couldn’t do much either apart from offering me a $10 refund.

The location is easy to find, the room is small, and the overall cleanliness is acceptable. It is suitable for a short stay. Not recommended for longer journeys

The staff is very sweet and welcoming. The location is also very close to the station. The capsule is just perfect it has dim lights, charging ports, do not disturb signs and it’s super clean. The bathrooms have hair dryers, give you health kit. It’s just perfect. However, to store the luggage you need to what’s app them and pay 55 HKD via the link they sent.

Ken was a nice host. 2 things I did not like: 1. Cleanliness - night 1 I got bedbugs bites. I had the bedsheet replaced but still the same. please see picture. 2. Service (planning) - there was a notice for aircon maintenance and it was fine. What I hate was when I arrived 9pm after a full day of activities, the maintenance is still not done. I requested to be transferred to another room because it’s already late and I needed to rest since I would have an early start (6am) the following day and I was told that they don’t have other rooms since they are fully booked BUT I can get a refund and book another accommodation if I cannot wait for the maintenance to be completed. Imagine you would be told to look for a room in the missle of the night. They tried to apologize the next day by putting a trinket inside my room with a note of apology but the act was already done and was already inconvenienced. Again, the host is nice but what happened is something that can be prevented by not letting the room be booked if it’s scheduled for maintenance and that the room should also be sanitized and cleaned properly.

Not clean, small room, located inside an old building dirty building, the elevator is small and slow. But it's Hongkong, to get a nice room, you have to pay much more. Good thing is the location is very good, close to MTR, bus stop, main road so you can get to pretty much anything in a snap

Single standard room extremely small, baby roaches in shower and toilet area, drain smells. Cleaning lady is nice though.

The customers services is not friendly at all... if you need something help and don't have WeChat/ phone number it's quiet hard for you to asking help... no frontdesk.. I booked around 5 rooms all is different floors. If you bring old people they will confused how to go out, many corridor. Really out of my mind...

I want to try and be balanced. I hate to give this place too much hate. I feel like they’re doing the best they can with the cards they’ve been dealt and the price reflects that. This being my first time to Hong Kong, I was not aware of what to expect price wise. That said, I want people to who read this to have more reasonable expectations than what the 4-5 star ratings want you to have. Location. I suppose it’s in a good location of the city but it’s in an apartment above a market like setup. As i walked into the building i was immediately pounced upon by individual after individual who seemed to be trying to rent me their own rooms. I had to just ignore them and keep walking. I don’t like being rude, but I’ve found this is the easiest way to escape. I never feel safe in situations like this especially late at night. The room was small and generally clean. I’ve left hotels in the past that were just horrid, this isn’t one of those. The mattress was comfortable but the bed was short. I feel the pillows and blankets were “clean “. But they were clean to the standards that I wash my own bedding. They were very white, but with some obvious stains that haven’t quite washed out, and one pillow appeared to have something like a blood stain visible through the pillow case. You will want to bring some sort of sleeping bag or liner. I was happy i had one. The bathroom had no toiletries. No soap, shampoo, bidet/paper. The toilet bowl was black inside and immediately began to smell of sewer gas as i was urinating. It leaked when i flushed it. Gave me quite a start. The stench stayed around for 10-20 minutes or so. After that i didn’t want to do anything else in the bathroom. I used a bottle of water to brush my teeth. I don’t know. If you’re looking at the outside of the building during the day, it’s what you’d expect. If you’re familiar with the cost of living in Hong Kong, it’s probably also what you’d expect at this price. If you just want a relatively clean place to sleep, and don’t want to spend a lot for hotels that reviewers say have the same issues, this will work. Just make sure you have your sleeping bag liner. For this price, I’d probably stay there again if they fixed the plumbing.
