"No fridge. No microwave. There is space in the hallway for these essential appliances, but the owner decided not to provide them. A lot of things in the room are broken. Overall the room and bed look dirty, and I’ve even seen a cockroach. We already had very low expectations knowing what guest house is, but still got disappointed by this one. Need a serious remodel for the room we lived in. 8th floor A11 Unit 18.
The only good thing is the room was relatively big compared to other guest houses....

The Hostel was extremely nice, clean, and friendly.
Apple Hostel is inside the famous Chungking Mansions, which is a crazy but interesting place. You have to take an elevator to get in and out of the hostel.

It is a hostel accommodation. Room was very small, but clean.
Location was perfect, nesr public transport, near ferry, it is on a shopping area with lots of eateries. Price reasonable.

This is just what I needed! Comfortable bed, small room, but with all the necessities and spotlessly clean. Toilet and bathroom is tiny, in the Asian Style, but once again, very clean. Air conditioning great, WiFi excellent, staff helpful and efficient. Near to lots of local eateries ( not touristy ones) and could get here on bus A21 straight from airport to Admiralty station, very near to hostel. Also very close to Mong Kok station, which has trains to Central station, with intown check in for...

This is a gem of a hostel in HK. Simon, the owner/operator is incredibly helpful, going as far as washing my laundry every day(!). The room had aircon, shower/toilet ensuite thing, fridge, wifi and wired internet. The mansions themselves are run down and dirty but Simon runs a tight ship and the room was very comfortable albeit very small. The lifts take forever so I used the stairwell - they're a little tricky to find the first time but no problem after that. If you're looking for a nice...

Lying on the floor stretch your arms out to the sides. Your hands, feet and head are touching all 4 walls. That is the size of the room.
There is always a huge line for the lifts
Dodgy hawkers in the lobby selling fake watches and SIM cards.
Lobby is more of an alley full of vendors than a lobby.
No windows.
But for $360HKD a night can't really complain, stayed for a week no problems just don't expect much, great location too across the road from TST station, 30mins walk to Mong Kok or...

Great hotel within walking distance to many areas. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Room large for Hong Kong hotel rooms and very clean and tidy.

Room was very clean and spacious. The only thing to complain about was the shower - it could only stay on the right temperature for about 10 sec and then gradually became too hot or too cold.
the staff were very friendly and there was a warm neighbourhood feeling about the place.
there are plenty of restaurants just across the road and MTR is about 7 min walking distance.
One thing to note is that there is no hotel shuttles going to this hostel, airport bus E21 stop is about 10 min walk away,...
