The location is perfect and very close to TST station and star ferry. We were not stopped at all by anyone at the entrance so dont really need to worry abt safety. We arrived at 9 pm and there was a long queue at block A and D. Make sure to look carefully which level you are going to as the queue are different. The room is small but its the norm for HK. Toilet is small but able to have a hot bath. Some area need to be cleaned though. Towels and toothpaste toothbrush are provided. No botttled water but microwave and hot water are available at the common shared area. Reception is at level 16 but rooms can be at other levels in blkD or C. Be sure to request for nearby rooms earlier if u book multiple rooms.

Fair price and great location, but smelly
The price was quite good for budget hotel and matched with hotel's quality. The location is very convenient. Lots of stores around at night time. Very easy to travel anywhere due to its location being close to the bus station where many buses and subway connecting to other areas are passing. However, there were some downsides as well. First was the building itself was not very new or clean at all. Second was the elevators, one for odd floors and one for even floors with super low capacity of 5-6 people per trip. It was impossible to handle human traffic at rush hours and in the morning you may need to walk downstairs for 16 floors if you are in a rush. Lastly, the smell is rather unpleasant in the room and it won't go away no matter what. If you have runny nose or have high tolerance with weird smell then you can survive this easily, otherwise, bring some spray.

Good value, clean room
Staff was helpful and kind, the room was clean and well equipped. There's maintenance going on the lifts in the building until 30/04/2017 that results in long queues for people trying to get to their floor. Occasionally had to wait 20-30 minutes or walk up to the 15th floor.

Good hostel but dirty surroundings
The whole hostel is good, it is very near from the MTR station. The bed was good as well as the bathroom. I got annoyed when I realized that when I came back from the tour, the door was left open when I got there because they gave me towel. The building of Chungking Mansions is also dirty especially on the lobby.

Nice Location of the Hotel but not the Building
The Room is very much ok for the budget travelers, it's very clean however the building itself is not, the elevator is small and slow. In case of emergency it will be very difficult to ride the elevator especially the flat is at the top of the building. There are so many Indian Vendors on the ground floor that's looks scary.

Good experience.
We reached Hong Kong a lot earlier than expected, so we went to check out our hostel for the night in hope that we can check in earlier or at least put our luggage there first. (How we got there from airport) Going to Kowloon from the airport, we took a free shuttle bus to Tsim sha tsui and arrived at holiday inn. It was a walking distance from the Chung King Mansions and we arrived really early in the morning. It was a lot earlier than our check in timing, but the receiptionist was really kind and allowed us to check in into a vacant room despite the ungodly hours. ( luckily there was a vacant room and hospitable service !!) The room was really small but cosy. It's good for its price and the necessities are all provided. Wifi is great. The location is perfect, right across the road is the subway to the trains. A step out is a buzzling city filled with shops and eateries, beside and opposite. The only problem was the entrance till the lift. People may crowd around trying to promote their sales, be it food or any products. It can be very pressurizing and scary, but they are just doing their job. Move along and ignore if uninterested, they will give up after awhile and everything will be fine. Given if I were to come back to Hong Kong, I wouldn't mind staying here again. Its a budget alternative but the rooms were more comfortable than expected. Overall good experience.

The best cheap stay in HK
I'm a 5'2 American woman who stayed at the Tokyo Hostel in Chungking Mansion for a little under a month. First, Chungking Mansions (where the hostel is located) is truly one of the most interesting locations in Hong Kong. It features cheap and delicious cuisine from all over. My personal favorite were the cheap samosas sold all over on the first floor. There are cuisines from all over South Asia and Africa so please go try them! Second, the place itself is not for everyone. If you're a traveler looking for the cheapest rooms in HK, this is the place to go. The rooms are minimal in terms of size but towels are provided and changed daily free of charge. The rooms are clean and did not have large bugs (something I everywhere else in HK). The Wi-Fi is absolutely incredible, and was better than most hotels I've stayed at (a surprising perk). Third, I've read too many reviews from people who felt unsafe or uncomfortable because of the large number of immigrants, particularly Indians, present at Chungking. I can understand that the entrance to Chungking can be a bit overwhelming as everyone tries to convince you to go to their restaurant, hostel, etc. but it is not a violent environment. Competition is fierce, and this is an effective way to promote restaurants and hostels. During my time in Chungking, I met so many kind Indians, Pakistanis, people who have lived in Chungking for years, and they always made me feel welcome and safe.

Forget it!
Nous avons réservé en fonction du descriptif donné sur le site Hotels.com. Chambre de 11m2, coffret de sécurité, réfrigérateur, TV et plateau café inclut, photos de chambres intéressantes. À l'arrivée, chambre octroyée à peine 6m2, aucun coffret de sécurité, ni réfrigérateur, ni café. Nous avons demandé d'être changé de chambre. À la réception, on nous dit qu'il n'y a jamais eu de chambre de 11m2. Que les réfrigérateurs avaient été retirés ainsi que les plateaux. Les TV ne fonctionne pas - Qui écoute la télé aujourd'hui nous dit-on. La seule chambre qui nous est offerte est située devant la réception. Un peu plus grande, mais nous entendions tout ce qui se passait à l'extérieur. Les draps étaient tachés. Le lit avait de longs cheveux et le ventilateur au plafond était -enrobé- de poussière. We booked based on the description on Hotels.com website. Room of 11m2, safety box, refrigerator, TV and coffee tray includes, good photos of the rooms. Upon arrival, room barely 6m2, no safety box, no refrigerator, no coffee. We asked to be moved. At the front desk, we were told that there was never a 11m2 room offered. That the refrigerators were removed as well as the trays. Televisions do not work - Whoever listens to TV today is told us. The only room available is located in front of the reception. A little bigger... we could hear everything that happens outside. The sheets are stained. The bed had long hair and the ceiling fan was dust-coated.

가성비 좋은 호텔
침사추이 쪽의 대부분의 호텔들이 그렇듯이 호텔에 머물기 보다는 밤에 잠을 자는 곳이다. 저렴한 가격대가 가장 큰 메이트이고 잠만 편하게 잘 수 있다면 다른 것은 여기서 따질 필요가 없다. 조용하고 깔끔한 내부 공간, 따뜻한 온수와 수압이 충분한 샤워시설, 빵빵한 에어컨.. 가격대비 머물기는 가장 좋은 곳이라고 생각한다.

Budget hotel,price worthy but lowclass environment
This hostel is good for travellers who wanna stay in Hongkong but can not effort an expensive hotel. This hostel is price worthy; you have your privacy, your own room including your own bathroom instead of sharing it like a dorm. Everyday there is the cleaning service, new towels, toiletpaper and cleaning the floor. This hostel is located on the 16th and 17th floor (not a (good) view) of a very dirty, old, big building. It takes a long time to go up and down because there are only 2 small elevators which is used by many people. This mansion is full of rooms rent by immigrants and different hostels owned by Indians. Downstairs immigrants try to sell simcards, Indian food and fake stuff. Every time if you walk there they try to sell, its starting annoying since I stayed 2 weeks in this building. The good thing is the location. The mansion is based in Nathan road, street full of shops, near to the ferry and metro, it is in the centre of Hongkong.
