I had to spend a night in Hong Kong unexpectedly. I chose this hotel because it was a short walk from West Kowloon rail station. It was definitely the worst hotel I’ve stayed in many years. The room was tiny (especially the bathroom, which was basically a shower stall) and shabby and smelled of cigarettes. The bed was so hard that I had to check to see if it actually had a mattress. But the sheets were clean, the AC worked, and, since I was just there to sleep, it was, in the end, fine.

Rooms a little older but clean and comfortable with everything one needs. Staff was helpful and courteous.
Perfect location with 1-15 minute walking distance of busses, trains, ferrys, parks, outdoor markets, and harbour.
Local shops, stores, and dining spots are plentiful.

ข้อดี
สถานที่ตั้ง ใกล้ MTR Jordan มีรถบัสผ่านหลายสาย สามารถนั่งตรงจากสนามบินมาถึง เดินไม่ไกล ถึงโรงแรมเลย
ราคาดี ไม่แพง เหมาะสมกับคุณภาพ ถ้าคุณจ่ายในราคานี้ ก็ต้องรับให้ได้ในสภาพ และพื้นที่ห้องแบบนี้ สำหรับฉันมันโอเค

ข้อเสีย
ฉันไปช่วงธันวาคม อากาศหนาว มีบางวันน้ำไม่ร้อน ในห้องเห็นกลิ่นบุหรี่มาก ไม่แน่ใจว่ามาทางไหน แต่บริเวณหน้าโรงแรมมีผู้คนสูบบุหรี่เยอะ เพราะเป็นแหล่งท่องเที่ยวและตลาด พนักงานต้อนรับวันที่ฉันไปค่อนข้างมีสีหน้าที่ไม่เป็นมิตร พูดจาไม่ดี แววต้าไม่ต้อนรับแขก

สุดท้ายถ้าเป็นทริปประหยัด ฉันว่าที่นี่โอเคมากๆ ทั้งราคา สถานที่ตั้ง สภาพห้อง และถ้าฉันมีทริปประหยัดอีก ฉันไม่ลังเลที่จะกลับมาพักที่นี่

Unbelievable... Unbelievably small but full price!

I have heard about such hotel rooms in Hong Kong but fortunately never had to use one before January 2025. Heavy travel Calendar/Lunar New Year season leads to wild price hikes by ripoff owners in HK - eg. high rate for closet with toilet in tiny corner washroom. Receptionist friendly, space (cannot be called a room) was clean though no waste basket. Probably would not be legal in Guangzhou. GZ far beats out HK style capitalism for fair rates & higher quality accommodation.

Short weekend stay in Hong Kong

We stayed in a twin room, the bathroom is a lot smaller than in the pictures and not as clean. We didn’t have any hand soap and asked reception and they didn’t have any to give us. The shower was dripping and the whole floor was soaked which is inconvenient. The room doesn’t have a fridge which you may not notice when booking the room. The curtains over the bed let in bit of a draft. But the bed was comfortable and at least the hotel has a lift.

Having stayed in Kowloon some years before, I knew space would be at a premium, however my only real concerns were:
1) The plug socket was very loose
2) The wallpaper was peeling off the wall
3) The 'bathroom' consisted of a tiny basin where
you couldn't wash your face fully; the shower was next to it, however when using it all the water disappeared down the plughole in the floor and all the splashing of the water just soaked everything including the toilet ehich was situated next to it. The only plus points were air conditioning in the room and a really comfortable bed! I was there for 4 nights with my 16 year old son and we paid £416 for the hotel which was definitely not worth the money: even half the cost would've been a liberty to be honest!

Great stay ❤ HK

So amazing. This neighborhood is fantastic and the room was great, super small of course it's HK, and the bed was very clean and comfortable for a great night's sleep. The shower over the toilet is crazy to an American, but you just shut the door and take a super hot shower which is key, and it's all good. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Friendly tip: Eat as much as you can at the Temple Street restaurants and most definitely get a massage right by the hotel, great massage service.

Besides location is great, nothing impress me. Convenient to walk to few MTR and HSR statuon. In order to had a better comfort I had book family suite as the room is small. Poor and slow house keeping. Room condition need to upgrade. Poor ventilation cause the bath room stink. Room rate is on the high side. One lift for house keeping and hotel guest.

Budget choice in Hong Kong

Great location, next to temple street, which has the night market, great street food of all kinds.

Many transportation choices, bus, metro, small red vans on set routes. Red van 26 on Jordan and shanghai will take you to Hong hum intercity train station. Also E23 bus on Jordan is a cheaper option to the airport than A21 from the hotel.

Think twice if you dislike small spaces

Hotel is quite near to Temple Street Night Market. Walking distance to MTR Jordan Station takes about 15-20mins. The rooms are really small (we took a double double room and a triple sharing room) and the toilet is extremely small with water flowing to the room area during shower despite the door are fully closed. I totally understand HK houses are small but this is something out of my expectation. Staff are super unfriendly too (even with me speaking Cantonese) and always have the attitude face given. Wifi always breaking as well.

Had much higher expectations based on the photos

I've never stayed in this part of Hong Kong before so I didn't really know what to expect.

The room was small - so small that I had trouble finding space to open my suitcase. There was no closet/hangers of any kind so I ended up having to throw my jacket on the end of the bed.

The bathroom, while somewhat clean was incredibly small. The shower was in the same space as the toilet without a screen door or curtain meaning that any time you take a shower everything gets wet.

There was also constant noise from the street well into the night. The proximity to the night markets probably did not help things here.

Small but good location For night market

Room is small to accommodate 3 peoples limited spaces. Even I booked a room that can accommodate 3 person. Toilet is sandblasted glass only. Where people can still see blur image of what a person is doing inside which just next to bed only. Top part of toilet door is open a gap where smell can go into the room. Shopping item need to put under the bed frame since no space. One thing is good is next to night market since I'm staying in 6th floor noise are less noticeable. And next to Jordan road and nearby station. For family trip maybe not good if just couple OK.

Great location, good price

I stayed for four nights in a single room and was pleasantly surprised. The location is very convenient to the subway and Nathan Road a few blocks away as well as only a block from the Temple Street Night market. I was concerned that noise might be a problem with the market nearby, but I didn't hear anything from outside on the third floor. My room was near the elevator so I did hear other guests because the door had a small gap at the bottom but otherwise it was quiet. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable but the room was extremely small with barely enough room to stand in the room with the door open. But for the price it was fine and Hong Kong hotel rooms are often quite small even at more expensive hotels. The staff were very friendly and spoke good English and there was an English tv channel as well. No safe in the room but a kettle and some tea bags were provided. If you are on a budget this was a good choice and I would stay here again.

Convenient and clean, nice Staff.

This type of accommodation is very typical of HK. The room was small but quite adequate for one person though a large person would find the bathroom cramped!. Very clean.To be honest I think it is a bit pricey for the class of accommodation, even with discount but prices in HK are very high. I know places where I can get very similar standard for less. However I was on short notice so not many options.
Jordan subway is only 5 minutes away and airport bus A21 is convenient on Nathan road. Two streets over.
The staff, mainly girls, were very friendly and helpful. Especially when I had difficulty getting WIfi going. Which was mainly my own fault as I do not normally use Wifi.
I would stay here again if price was right.

Very basic room

I stayed one night while transiting through Hong Kong. The room was small, but had a small bed and a bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink. Everything worked and the room was comfortable to sleep in. There is only wireless internet, which I don't like using because it's not so reliable, but that was all that was available. You have to use Microsoft Internet Explorer to use the hotel's wifi. Other web browsers don't work. Also, because of the location, there's a lot of noise all night if you open the window for fresh air.
