Close to Ladies Markets

Location (close to Ladies Markets, Mongkok clothing shops, Starbucks, airport bus stop) was fantastic; room was a little small but clean; bathroom good; we had an early flight arrival & were allowed to check in early so very impressed; check in receptionist very friendly (although with very limited English); only downfall was the wi-fi didn't work.

Great Deal

We had a very pleasant stay. I arrived during Typhoon Nida and my flight was delayed. They kept in touch with me by email and had the room ready when I arrived. This is a great deal for the price. Rooms are rather small, but this is what I'm paying for. Extremely quiet, room was clean and Wi-Fi worked perfectly. This is my 2nd time staying here. The staff is kind and helpful. The MRT is only a few steps away from Mong Kok exit E-2. Once you get out on the street, the hotel is behind the exit on Nathan Road. Turn right twice and right again at the corner.

Had to extend one night stay as the staff tried to scare us by saying they do not safe keep our luggage. They will just leave it at the corridor. Terrible. The price I paid I could have gone to a better hotel with FREE luggage safe keeping service.

Close to MTR Station

The room seen and booked online was actually and substantially different from what has been described and advertised on the website. It was extremely small, hot and uncomfortable. Upon check-in, we were told to deposit HKD100 and this was not disclosed on the website when we booked online. The amount is reasonable but would prefer to be stated on the booking website. Although the interior of the room looks recently renovated, I found the air-cond not functioning properly and the toilet got clogged too often. As a result, the smells from the toilet was unbearable. We didn't bother to complain since the staffs were not comprehend in English anyways. There is no proper entrance signage of the hotel in English and any first timer guest would find difficult to search after the hotel. Though, this was compensated with the initiative taken by the hotel by emailing us in advance directions and guidance to the hotel. Notwithstanding to the above, the hotel's location is quite near to MTR Mong Kok station and strategic to many shopping hotspots. Overall, the hotel is not recommended for a long stay and definitely not a good value.

Excellent location, value for money

Excellent location in terms of transportation and shopping. Staff were helpful. I don't mind climbing up the stairs to get to the lift lobby. Lifts are really small but it doesn't bother me much. Room (1 double, 2 singles) is very small for a family of 4 but the bathroom size was ok. Overall, its clean. Sound proofing of the room is pretty bad. I could hear shower noises and voices from the neighbouring rooms.

Unexpected Encounters

I had a large luggage and a hand carry luggage. I didn't know I needed to walk up two sets of stairs to get to the elevator. When I got to the elevator, I had to turn my large luggage side way in order to get in. It can only fit two people standing side-by-side in either direction. At check in, I was just told nothing else accept where the room was; so, I went to look for it. I didn't know about how room service work or where to get hot water until I asked. Also, I felt neglected when I saw how an American guest was treated when he came to check in. He was directed to his room and was told something else about the room. The best of the hotel is the location.
