The property is tucked away in a huge office block in the heart of Kowloon. It is very cramped as is the whole building but it's clean and couldn't be in a better location, right in the heart of Kowloon, a short walk from the metro and ferry. Overall, reasonable value for money.

Disappointed
Room and staff were ok. Problem is, there are 2 elevators that are so slow so if you are on Level 17 to leave the building is 20 minute exercise each way. Always people lining up, you need to go through a market getting harassed and badgered by stall owners all the time to buy something. Sometimes I used the stairwell and it stank like urine, cigarette smoke and was filthy. It is near shops and trains.

Clean room and friendly staff
It was a clean place and there was a helpful staff called Hari from India . He assisted us well. Room is clean and comfortable. Negative : Long queue to get into the lift which is small and downastairs full of Indians shops and not clean. Room is clean . So it’s the best and close eye for rest .

Cheap price. Don't expect too much
Pros- good location, cheap, bathroom inside bedroom, fast check in. Cons- this place is inside a big building with more hotel/hostels and the entrance is thought a elevator which was hard to find. If you have problem to sleep with noise it can a trouble for you. The size of the bedroom is super small and the bathroom is still smaller. It worth for the price.

The room was quite small but clean. Free fast wifi internet. It is ideal for travellers and backpackers. The place was near the high end malls like the harbour plaza mall. Near tsim sha tsui mtr station. The only thing I just don't like is the entrance of the hotel, the whole ground floor smelled curry. And also the wait for the elevator is long.

Avoid
Avoid any hostel in Chungking Mansions at all cost. The whole building is horrible, as you go in strange overbearing men compete to try and sell you drugs, watches or handbags. The room was tiny and the toilet didn't have a seat. I wasn't expecting much for the price that close to Hong Kong island, but I wish we'd paid more/stayed further out!

The room was tiny, but it seems most are in Hong Kong. However, it was sufficiently comfortable, with wifi, airconditioning, private bathroom and drinking water provided. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Location is on the north side of Kowloon, so a bit further away from the attractions on HK Island and southern parts of Kowloon. Good rate for rooms.

駅から徒歩1分
かなり都会の駅から徒歩1分で着きます。 マンションの14階と17階を借りてゲストハウスにしてるらしく、最初は迷いましたがなんとか着くことができました。エレベーターが少なく時間によっては行列ができます。 フロントには感じのいいインド人のホテルマンが出迎えてくれ、24時間体制でどの時間に行ってもそのインド人の方が対応してくれました。 5日間滞在したのですがゲストハウスなのでベッドメイキングはなく、タオルも自分たちで干して使い回す感じです。 ゲストハウスなので寝るだけでの利用ならおすすめです。

良い点 スタッフさんがとても親切 駅近で便利 寝るだけなら安くていい 気になる点 朝はエレベーターが満員になる率が高く時間帯によっては降りるのに時間がかかる（15階に階段で上がって奇数階最上階からエレベーターを利用するといい） 朝の9時を過ぎるとハラルフードの調理が始まるのだろう、部屋の中がスパイスのニオイになる。（G階がハラルフードだらけなので一斉に調理始めるから近隣道路もスパイスの香りになっている） 3人部屋でシャワートイレ込みで6畳ほどなのでスーツケースを開けるにはベッドの上 悪い点（改善してもらいたい） レセプション横のお部屋だったので、ゲストとスタッフさんの会話はまだいいが、スタッフさんの夜中のスマホゲームの音は騒音。 G階でのお買い物 ハラルフードのお店は値段表示が無い場合、必ず値段を聞いてから買うように！（ありえなあ高額を言われることもあるので注意！） それぞれのお店の味があり、ハラルフード好きにとっては天国！！

街中にあるホテル
重慶大厦の指定されたフロアにエレベーターで行くと、２０分くらい待たされる。その後、エレベーターで１階におり、同じビル内の別のエレベータで別のフロアへ。そこには別のドミトリーがあった。 鍵を渡されるが、部屋の中はベットだけ。薄い壁で廊下の声も聞こえる。タオルもない。 部屋にものを置くのは危険と判断。また、部屋の中にいるのも不快なため、周辺のカフェなどで時間を過ごす。 本当に寝るだけでいい人は良いかもしれないが、オススメはしない。

Have low expectation but a bit worst
Location: Located in Tsim Sha Tsui, almost like the centre of Hong Kong, so it is convenient to travel anywhere. also close to MTR station. Environment: knowing that it is located in Chunking Mansions, and reading the comment here, I already have the expectation that it is going to be quite chaotic. Every time you go in and out of the mansion, you will be surrounded by numerous Indian men trying to get you to buy their stuff, which sure would make any girl feel uncomfortable and insecure. If you are a petite girl travelling alone, I suggest you stay elsewhere. And prepare to spend at least half an hour everyday waiting for the lift to get to your room. Hotel: The room is small as expected, not to complain as this is Hong Kong. But I expected a clean and comfortable room and the room I got was nothing like that. The air-conditioner was not working. We even took out the filters to clean them ourselves and still it was not working. We stayed for three nights. We told the staff about the conditioner on the second night. He said he would cater to it but it was until the next morning when we went out that another staff said we can change the room if we are not satisfied with the original (so they know the conditioner can't be fixed?). Finally the third night we got a room with some air after suffocating for the first two nights. One of the pillow cases was full of fluff. The main staff was quite helpful though. Guess it is one of the better hotels located in Chunking Mansions.

ビルの一階はすでにかなり怪しい雰囲気。地下となると怖くて行けない。いかにも事が起きそうな場所だった。窓なしの部屋でスペースは狭く、暗所閉所恐怖症の人なら圧迫感から眠れないだろう。夜中まで近所から物音が聞こえてくる。なぜエベレストなのか？経営者がネパール人だったから。案の定隣の部屋では狭苦しい場所に家族四人が長期滞在しているようだった。怖いもの知らずでとにかく安ければいいという人ならいいんじゃないでしょうか･･･。
