Staff don’t understand English very tough to communicate, no minimum required amenities in the room. Hidden fees and payments charged though not mentioned during booking

The outside of the hotel is not at all as it is pictured here. We felt unsafe staying here, so we had to cancel the booking and go else where on the day of booking, since we were on an international trip. Lost all the money as well since it was past the cancelation period. Very disappointing!

Hotel location good. Staff friendly and service prompt. It’s NOT a non-smoking hotel. Only one small lift serving the odd storeys of the 16-floor building (hotel on 5th floor). Some times need to wait a few lift trips before my family could use the lift.

Disappointed

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in my life. The lift is old and small. It's actually not a hotel but an old building and Sunshine hotel occupies the 5th floor and some other hotel operators occupy the other floors. There is no table, chair, wardrobe, water and kettle in the 2 rooms that I booked.

The name of the building is called Chungking Mansion. Even before you enter the building, there will be a few men approaching you asking you if you need a room!

The staff registered me by writing my name in a book. I was not given an acknowledgement letter to sign which is very unsual. I was given only 1 access card per room instead of the usual 2 cards per room.

When I arrived, the rooms were not immediately available. I had to wait for the rooms to be cleaned. The staff could not speak English but that's fine as they could speak Mandarin and I could speak some Cantonese. The counter was manned by 1 elderly man who was not wearing uniform nor had a name tag.

The bedsheet was not changed. There were hair on the floor and on the bed. My son suffered from itch in his room while my friend and I also felt itchy in my room.

We had to move out of the room the next day as it was not comfortable at all

The elevator was so small and long waits and limited to getting on. Only one elevator that fits max 6 people. The room was relatively small and the washroom was tiny and when you take a shower the shower sprays all over and the entire bathroom is wet and slippery floors. Recommend for the price and close to stores and food and short term only but not long term

Convenient budget hotel in huge downtown multistory firetrap.

I stayed twice, outbound & homebound on a trip into mainland China. It's on the 4th & 5th floors of Chungking Mansions, very convenient for Kowloon transport & amenities. (4th floor closed for refurbishment.) Staff welcoming, have basic English. Room small, almost all taken up by a circular bed, looks like a junior manager's love-nest. Furnishings ticky-tacky but clean, a/c worked, hot water never better than lukish, second stay shower/loo area had no partition so light streamed into bedroom from uncurtained shower area window. I felt I got what I paid for, might stay again BUT the big concern is fire hazard.

Chungking Mansions are a huge apt block, must be 40 or 50 similar budget hotels within it. Enter via ground floor mall which is a Little Bengal of cafes, money exchanges, sim-card shops etc. Access hotel via dilapidated slow lift, held together by bits of plywood like a failed primary school project, often long lines for lifts. As Whole Sunshine is only on 5th floor (and floors aren't high) I preferred the stairs.

The Mansions are a fire tragedy waiting to happen, with combustibles heaped all around the passageways and stairs, staff smoking next to these, loose electric cabling, and cafes juggling hot ghee down in the mall.

Great hotel, very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were basic but immaculate and comfortable. Hotel is a small haven in an otherwise average building. For the budget price, this hotel is a winner.

To be fair, the hotel made a great effort in their renovations, however the toilet/bathroom facilities felt like it was half completed (nothing that cannot be fixed of course), but the greatest two issues were: (1) trying to manage your way through a literal horde of guest house leasors, watch sellers and suit tailors (up to 40 people at least) that were proverbial flies and would not leave you alone, and (2) trying to find the actual entrance into the hotel complex.

Clean but low end hotel doesn't take credit cards

Let me start with the good points: 1) hotel is clean; 2) You feel safe in an otherwise sketchy building; 3) shower works well.
Now the problems: 1) they don't take credit cards - only cash; 2) bed and pillows are ROCK hard - almost like sleeping on the floor; 3) room is very small and there is no desk to work at.
The hotel is very hard to find - it's inside the Chungking Mansion building on the 5th floor. Have to take elevator B to get to the hotel. And it's a very sketch elevator...mostly we ended up walking the stairs via a back alley...also sketch).
Frankly the biggest problem is the lack of taking credit cards - created a real hardship (and cost) for me to pull lots of cash from ATM to pay the bill.

場所は良かったです。

ホテルが見つからず...苦労しました
サイトの表示にA棟5階とか一番手前のエレベーターとか表示が欲しいです。ホテル選ぶ時点で、お値段で他と比べたりして決めましたが、このお値段でここ？！って感じのホテルでした。
マンション（ビル？）内の雰囲気も、ちょっと怖いイメージで、女性の1人旅には向かないかもしれないです。本当に寝れればいいだけ！の方にオススメですが、寝るだけでこの値段はちょっと無いかな...な感想です。ホテルのおじさんは気さくで優しい方でした。

Location is perfect. There are 4~5 buliding stick together but 2 elevator they have. People are lined up to go inside. one staff/grandpa can speak english but If you want to go here you have to give up to solve problems when you in trouble.

ビルの下にいる方たちがとても怖かった
けれど入る時だけだったのですぐに慣れました。
日本語は喋れる方はいませんが、英語が喋れる方がいたのでわからないことがあったら聞いてと言われ、優しい方でした。
ベッドはとても硬かったです。(1日で慣れました。)
シャワー、トイレはいっしょで仕切りがなく、トイレはびしょびしょになりました。浴槽はなかったです。変換プラグ、タコ足もついていたので持ってく必要はなさそうです。
ドライヤーもあり、ちゃんと乾かせました◎
シャンプーとボディーソープ、歯ブラシ、バスタオルがついていました。歯ブラシは大きいので使わなかったです。また、ハンドソープは置いてなかったです。ハンガーは４つありました。お湯を沸かすポットもありました。
シャワーのところは毛があり、気になる人は気になると思います。
立地は、チムサーチョイもイーストチムサーチョイも行けて、近くにコンビニもあるのでとても便利でした。近くにタピオカ屋さんがあったのも嬉しかったです。
100万ドルの夜景を見に行くのもとても近くて歩いて行けました。
女人街から歩いて帰ったりもしました。
とても立地はよかったです。怖かったけど。
