The most terrible hostel ever. From reception to Room. Be aware to those who will book a room specially when you get a dormitory type. The old guy from the reception will scam you. He will tell you to “ you want a room with only 6 people inside and have a toilet” give me 50HKD. if not your room supposed to be with 20 people. Don’t fall for that trick. He is doing that to every person who book mixed room.

Really bad experience, like a nightmare. This is the first time I encounter a hostel hotel that the toilet need to share with other.And time of check in so late and no heater when you take shower and it's winter. Really bad bad experience

the floor was easily founded (take the A lift at Chungking Mansion). honestly it’s not so bad for one or two nights, the room & bathroom are quite clean, the hostel room is just old & cramped like a typical HK cage home. both waiters, the young guy & the uncle are very helpful & friendly. you can pay the deposit, additional service & tax with HKD cash only

It’s pretty gross but I didn’t see any cockroaches. Bed is not long enough for someone who is 6feet. The door couldn’t be locked but also not closed, so the door was open at all times. The younger guy working there was very nice, the older guy was a bit grumpy. It smells bad too. Location was great.

This is the worst place we’ve ever booked. The old man behaved terribly and his attitude traumatized us. We deeply regret booking this place. The room was too small and had no ventilation or windows. The air conditioner was filthy. The linens were itchy and smelled foul; the pillows smelled as if they had never been washed — I almost vomited when I smelled them. We felt so itchy, but we arrived at the hostel at 1:00 a.m. and had no choice but to stay. One of the worst things that happened was when the old man cursed at us and shouted after I asked an important question about the room. We felt unsafe because of the owner’s hostile behavior. He also charged us an extra HKD 150 in addition to the HKD 100 deposit, even though we had already paid online by credit card. We felt like we were scammed. Additionally, the owner acted like a manipulator and made us feel as if we were the problem. He tried to gaslight us and behaved in a narcissistic, it dismissive way — he would not accept side comments, became angry whenever we asked questions, and refused to listen. His hostile, uncooperative behavior made us feel intimidated and unsafe. We emailed Trip.com about this matter and requested a refund since we used only one night of a five-night stay. Unfortunately, they could not help because of their terms and conditions. However, I believe this is an exceptional case: the property did not provide the amenities listed, and they gave us a completely different room from the one we booked. Please, Trip.com, do something about this matter. We trust your business, but it seems you are not protecting customers from this kind of shady behavior. Thank you.

The location is good. Closer to shopping malls, restaurants and other tourist attractions.

I don’t really recommend you stay here as the guy running it is crazy. To be honest I felt lucky that I drank every night I stayed here because otherwise I would have struggled to sleep. Easily the worst place I’ve ever stayed all considered. But I enjoyed thermal pool experience. Also my fellow guests were all decent

My worst hostel ever or amongst the worst, knowing that i ve been to more than 30 countries. The other ones where also in China. Sometimes, chinese could be aware of this situation and tolerates it cause they just prioritize price. But for other people, especially western clients, those conditions are totally inacceptable. Narrow, gloomy and dark dormitory, when it rains water runs down the wall, the floor is permanently wet, from time to time, a gutter smell emanates from the bathtub drain, no toilet paper, the bed sheets look 10 years old, the mattress reeks of dampness and perspiration. And there are cockroaches everywhere. The guy has the nerve to require a key deposit when he doesn't even give a key. I say to everyone, move on! This could ruin your trip. And in addition of that he is super rude. He talks **** with people.

Usual Chungking layout however the staff are the best part, also very useful you can access by stairs instead of waiting for the slow lift to hotels on higher floors.
