NOT the same as the picture, and no window in this smallest room, and it was uncomfortable to sit on the double bed which caused my back to be sore to read. The worst is not the same hostel booked and need to change to a different hostel from block E 16th floor to block C 14th floor. It was a long trip just to check in. An extra additional charge of HK$187.00 for cleaning for 7 days.

No credit or refund, lost all our money

We did not stay as this was a non refundable, which we had paid in full months before Covid started. We were not assisted in anyway to get a credit or refund so the booking came and went and we were still at home. Enjoy our money, unfortunately we did not have that opportunity.

You get what you paid for. Hong Kong is very expensive and this place was cheap. The room was literally a hole in the wall. The towels were changed everyday and everyday I will find stains in them. The building had this terrible smell which would never go away. Only book it if you are in a tight budget and will only go to the room to sleep.

Budget hostel in convenient location

Small room. Beds are wall to wall. Clean. Check-in is at another location. Just a place to sleep. Chungking Mansion is conveniently located on Nathan Road, close to MTR, bus stops and Star Ferry.

The family room was too small for three people(9 square meter). We have to pay 195 HKD for cleaning in extra for 9 square meter room. Expedia makes me feel very disappointed for room standard and extra fee without knowing in advance!!! Hostel is located in excellent location and a lot of Indian people.

Excellent value for money in Kowloon

Very clean hotel/room. Location is excellent - opposite MTR and airport bus A21 just at the door step. Ferry to Hong Kong and Macau within 10 mins walk away. Excellent WiFi in room and free drinking water. Plenty of shopping around. Space is very small - as with most rooms in Hong Kong. Lift is a big problem. Reception and room in different block but signage is clear. Will return for future stay.

As expected, the room was very small. If you have more than 2 luggages , this type of hostel is not for you. The refrigerator in the common area is not working. The Reception of the hostel is FAR from the rooms. The location of the hostel is 7/F block E, while the the reception area is between 11th-15th floor of Block A. You still need to go to Block A before you check-in or call the telephone no. provided at the entrance of the rooms. Maybe the hostel manager/owner should put it in the check-in instructions. You cannot leave your luggages after checkout in the block where the rooms are located because there will be no one who will assist you. You still need to bring all your luggages to Block A.

Good location and price

I had a 1 night layover in Hong Kong and I just needed a cheap, clean place to stay for 1 night and this place certainly did the trick, at a good price. There is nothing fancy here but the guy at the front desk was nice enough to upgrade my room free of cost and he has kept the rooms nice and clean. So if you're looking for a simple place close to the city center that doesn't cost much, I'd recommend.

Clean room, Fast internet, and Great staff!

The room is quite small but it has everything you need. It is clean with fast internet, both wifi and wired. The hotel staff, Amit, is very kind, funny, and accommodating. The location is good except for the small elevator. Near to 2 MTR stations and bus stops. A walking distance to ferry terminal. I recommend this place!

Its a backpackers

Ok..so we stayed here for 5 hrs just to sleep and then went on our way. this place is for adventurous backpackers or budget travellers who dont mind living in a matchbox for the duration. Looks clean, bathroom a bit tricky with the small size. Location is in a seedy place of Hong kong so if youre the adventurous kind go for gold. It is not for the faint hearted. The hotel is in the 17th floor-lift only goes to 16th. 2 short flight of stairs and youre there.

Worst place I've ever booked. Seedy, dirty, grimmy

The area is a bunch of overcrowded buildings where you will be approached by street vendors up to the elevator. If you come in at night there's lines of 20+ people to take the old elevator up. Inside the guest house or whatever this is called the manager plays loud Indian music so forget about afternoon naps. When i entered my room the so called bathroom had just been showered in minutes prior. This place is absolutely terrible and its a shame travelocity and expedia show it in their results. It looked as dirrty and grimmy as the residences in the new Judge Dredd movie.

Cheated by hotel

I booked a hotel with good reviews and agreed to pay a bit extra as compared to what the hotel asked the customers, for clean rooms. But when checking in, hotel assigned a room in another of their hotels (CEBU Hotel) which had damp beds and smelly rooms. The floor on which I was allocated a room did not even have a lift. I asked for a room in the hotel that I had a booking for but I was told there was no vacancy in that hotel and only one was available in this hotel, so I had to either take that one or cancel and walk away. Since it was prepaid and non-refundable booking, I had no option but to take that room. I felt cheated by both Hotel and Expedia. Will never pay to Expedia again. Please refuse the rooms in any other hotel other than Sydney Hotel itself. As for me, sorry no reviews about stay at Sydney as I never stayed there.
