Inns em Hong Kong, China

Wow, I was really impressed by the thoughtful touches the moment I walked in! For a central Hong Kong location, this hostel offers pretty good value for money. I did my homework before coming (once in Spain, I didn't plan ahead and almost got pickpocketed!). While Hong Kong's streets and alleys are narrow and prices are high, the experience here is much better than the guesthouses I stayed at in Korea and Japan. I can even say this in my (bad) Cantonese – I'm a huge TVB fan! The transportation is super convenient; just take the elevator from Tsim Sha Tsui Exit D1 directly to the 13th floor, and the front desk is right there (it's very noticeable, and the chubby guy at the front desk is quite cute). I carefully checked my booking details before arriving and contacted the hostel 48 hours in advance, so the self-check-in process was incredibly smooth and easy. The building itself is a very typical Hong Kong commercial-residential building, making you feel like you're on a TVB set – it has so much character! I'd definitely come back again if I have the chance! The only minor regret is that the Mixue Ice Cream & Tea (bubble tea shop) across the street closed down, and other bubble tea places are a bit pricey – Hong Kong is quite expensive, haha. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed my stay here! It was especially cool for me to stay in this particular building because it's where the famous movie 'Chungking Express' was filmed. That alone makes the place special and gives it a unique vibe. The room was clean, cozy, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The air conditioning worked perfectly and kept the room cool, which was especially important in the hot and humid weather. I also want to give a special shout-out to the host. He was very welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help. Check-in was quick, and I was even able to check in earlier than the set time.

The front desk staff inexplicably asked me to leave a good review even before I checked in. After I finally checked in, I found out I was assigned to an upper bunk, which was okay, I guess. But I think they could do a better job with safety measures. There's no safety rail on the upper bunk, and it would be really bad if someone rolled off. That's just my safety suggestion. When I checked out in the morning, it was quite an eye-opener. They tried to give me back Hong Kong dollars for the 100 RMB deposit I paid last night, but I pointed it out and they did return the correct amount. And just as the reviews mentioned, they charged a cleaning fee, which was over 20 yuan.

The location is perfect. After entering the building, you need to take the elevator (on the left) to the reception on the 16th floor, which operates 24/7. They took a 100 HKD deposit. The room is very small. There are both European and American power outlets, a fan, and air conditioning. The room smelled of smoke, and at 170 cm tall, I barely fit in the bed, having to bend my legs while sleeping. The duvet cover smelled like a sour rag, and condensation constantly dripped from the air conditioner unit outside the window, making a very audible 'drip-drip-drip' sound in the room. There were also some small flies constantly in the room.

The hotel's location is excellent. It's just a short walk from the A21 airport bus stop, and you can easily catch the bus to the airport from right around the corner. It's right in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, with the MTR station just a few steps away, making dining and shopping incredibly convenient. Victoria Harbour is also just a short stroll ahead. The hotel owner, his wife, and the staff are all incredibly nice. I arrived early and, seeing how hot it was, decided to rest a bit before heading out. To my surprise, the front desk staff allowed me to check in early! Furthermore, when I was out on an errand and ended up checking out over an hour late, the owner was very understanding and kindly extended my check-out time. In a place like Hong Kong, where every inch is precious, this was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. The owner and staff are genuinely kind and humane, which is truly rare 🌹🌹. The room was very clean, though a bit small, and had no strange odors. Plus, the outlets didn't require an adapter, which was super convenient for me as a traveler from mainland China, especially since I'd forgotten mine. All in all, this is a hotel with a human touch, an exceptionally good location, and excellent cleanliness. I'll definitely stay here again next time. Thank you to the owner and staff!

Located in the bustling Tsim Sha Tsui area, this hotel offers a quiet escape. We were a party of three and booked a quad room, which was quite spacious and clean. The reception area is small but very cozy, equipped with tea bags, coffee, and hot and cold water. Downstairs, dining and getting around are incredibly convenient, with two subway entrances right outside. Across the street, about 100 meters ahead, there's a Haiphong Road wet market where you can find authentic local wonton noodles, pork chop rice, and fish balls, all very good. Especially recommended is Chung Kee, run by two elderly ladies – their beef brisket and fish balls are generously portioned, and the shrimp in their wontons are large and fresh. The hotel also has Vietnamese and Thai restaurants downstairs, all at fair prices. There's a mosque opposite and Kowloon Park nearby, perfect for a stroll.

The front desk and the room are not in the same area, the front desk is in A, and the room is in D. People arrived late, Peter at the front desk was very enthusiastic, and he also upgraded the independent guard and introduced the details of the stay. like

Relatively easy to get to, with easy communication with the Guesthouse owners. The location is great- right in front of the Kowloon mosque which was great for us, indicating availability of halal food nearby. Within walking distance of the mtr, tourist attractions and shops (7e is right below). We took the Cityliner from the airport and got dropped off at the nearest stop which was great! Room was super tight, with small bathroom with a shower head right above the toilet. The toilet doors required some manoeuvring because it could close but was somewhat disconnected from each sliding panel (with evidence of some bugs stuck between the panels, I can understand, in rather hard to reach places).Otherwise, clean enough room and very quiet. Enough space under the beds to store luggage but otherwise, just enough space around the room for a single person to walk about, so we had to take turns and mostly sat on our beds. For very short stays, seems like a good place.

We stayed one night at Pearl Premium Guest House in Mirador Mansion last weekend. The location is super convenient, just steps from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, with plenty of restaurants and shops downstairs — this was the biggest highlight of our stay. The room is compact, which is standard for budget guest houses in Hong Kong. Basic facilities including air conditioning and hot running water functioned well throughout our trip, and the check-in & check-out procedures were fast and hassle-free. That said, the building’s hallways look aged, and we could hear noise from other guests late at night. The room feels quite cramped if you bring large suitcases. This place is suitable if you just need an affordable overnight transit spot and do not mind tiny living space. If you prefer larger, quieter accommodation, you may consider other alternatives.

I was so busy I forgot to take photos, so I'll just talk about it. Firstly, the location is excellent. Secondly, the staff's service attitude is wonderful. During the day, there's a young man, and at night, there's a foreign young woman. The young man always greets you with a smile and speaks softly, as if he's afraid you might feel discriminated against. The foreign young woman is a bit introverted. When I saw her in the evening returning to the hotel, she wanted to say hello but didn't speak Chinese, so she just nodded at me from behind the counter. That evening, while I was showering in the hotel, someone knocked on the door. I thought it was the room next door, so I leisurely continued showering for over 10 minutes. Afterwards, when I finished showering, I realized the knocking hadn't stopped. I said 'wait,' and the knocking immediately stopped. I put on my clothes and opened the door. The young woman then nodded and asked, 'Are you speak English?' I actually know a little, but instinctively I said 'no' 😂. She then said 'wait' and handed me her phone. I thought she wanted me to look at a translation, but it was actually a call, most likely from the boss, who apologized and explained that there was a problem with the room today. Honestly, I had noticed it but wasn't too bothered, but their meticulous attitude was really impressive. After the call, the young woman nodded, said 'tks,' and left. She had waited at my door for over ten minutes just to explain this. The boss is very diligent, and the entire hotel definitely follows their excellent example, not cutting corners with customers. Another day, the young man was looking after the hotel. As soon as he saw me, he immediately apologized for yesterday's issue and even gave me a small gift as compensation. This shows that the staff remember their guests, and I didn't feel even a little bit mistreated during my entire stay. So, if you're shy, go for it! The old man who watches over the downstairs area is also very nice. If he sees you're from out of town, he'll keep an eye on you – not because he's worried you'll do something wrong, but because he's afraid you might need directions, and he's watching so you can ask him (this is my own imagination 😂). Because when I asked him, he even helped me press the elevator button and told me where to go. The hotel might be a bit hard to find for mainland Chinese. Make sure you look for the entrance between 53 and 55, then go in, otherwise you might go to the wrong place – don't ask me how I know. Thumbs up to all the staff, and thumbs up to the boss's hospitality. I hope the hotel keeps up the good work. I'll definitely come back to Hong Kong, but it's been raining a lot recently, so I only stayed for one day. If you don't like small rooms or expensive prices, don't stay here. If you're afraid of being mistreated or dealing with hassle, then stay here without hesitation. One last thing, if you have an issue, email them, the phone might not connect, and don't ask me how I know that either. They respond to emails very quickly! Also, boss, give that young man and young woman a raise, and if you really do, tell me, and I'll come back to stay again! 🤪
