WARNING...DO NOT STAY HERE! by fionad
This place is disgusting.
The Chungking mansions is a huge busy building with many other hostels inside it, there are 'touters'(people trying to sell you things and drag you to their hostels) all hanging around the entrance 24/7. We ignored them but were tricked into believing a guy who claimed to be from our hostel, he was friendly, not pushy and seemed genuine. He took us to the reception and pretended he had our booking in his paperwork then took my copy of reference number etc and payment for 3 nights.
After spending one night we had a bad feeling that something wasn't right and went to look around for the 'Apple Hostel' where we had booked. They were very sympathetic and called the police for us. They arrived within 10 mins and came with us to the Taiwan Hotel & got our money back.
One of us was badly bitten by bed bugs all over his body and another had cockroaches and rats in the ceiling of his tiny room.
Later I noticed a sign saying that they rent rooms by the hour.... not a nice place.
If you really must stay in the Chungking mansions, then find your hostel by yourself (the signs are above the lifts)and don't speak to anybody downstairs.
I see the photos advertised of the Taiwan Hotel look nothing like it!!! dodgy
Great location: in busy shopping & nightlife district. Just across the street from the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station (great for traveling).
Chungking Mansion is rather grotty, but the room was newly refurbished and very clean (twin sharing with shower stall). Rooms were in secure, locked area. Hot water for shower available. Free mineral water, WiFi and housekeeping service. Proprietor was very friendly and helpful, speaks good English.
Would revisit if traveling on a tight budget.
