- Fatima (6/5): -
- Maria Frances (10/5): - Good place
- An (1/5): -
- Daniel (9/5): -
- Sunju (7/5): - The staffs are very friendly and helpful.
Location is awesome to access to anywhere.. All good just little bit too tight of the room but it's Hong Kong. So excellent to stay for location and for the price.
- Sade (5/5): - Comfortable bed, most of the staff was polite and helpful, good location, drinking water available Everything is run down and overall quite dirty. I won't go into detail about what happened in my case but in general I would not choose to return.
- Charmaine (1/5): - Location Everything apart from sweet male receptionist in the morning.
- Jonalie (10/5): Nice and great stay. - Value of money. Amazing very and nice room they change every day towels and clean the room. Location is great Lift is always very busy
- Rafael (10/5): - Very good place love it
- Nora (10/5): - Clean and
- Aveilou (8/5): Our first time in hk with my son, our trip is good and adventurous. If we will go back to hk will definitely book again - Its a bit small but its okay, accessible and approachable staff A bit small
- Richard (7/5): -
- ann (10/5): - Location Nothing
- Ainemaria (10/5): Such friendly staff! Exceeded expectations, staff were so accommodating and flexible and even let us leave our luggage t - I loved how friendly the staff were! Super helpful also, and even took us right to our room. It was helpful having such a flexible check in and everything was perfect and as expected. The hospitality exceeded our expectations and we were even able to leave our luggage with them after check out while we waiting to check into our next place. 10/10 service! Might have been delirium after a long flight but we found it quite hard to find. There were loads of helpful people along the way though who pointed us in the right direction which was amazing! My advise to anyone would be to follow the shop signs and elevator signs rather than google maps street view hehe
- Andrew (1/5): We cancelled our 2-night stay (no refund) and moved to the Imperial Hotel next door. - Good location on Nathan Road, short walk to the ferry The building's a former apartment building and each apartment has been converted into a dormitory, guesthouse or a few bedrooms that are rented as hotel rooms. Each former apartment is a little separate business with a different name. Manila Lounge is on Level 8 and is one of five "guesthouses" on that floor. There's a common reception desk on Level 15 that manages the check-in for all accommodation in the building. The elevators only carry a few passengers so you queue up on the ground floor in the "shopping mall" for around 10-minutes to get in. We took the stairs instead which are shared with the rats. You will have to pay an additional "city tax" to the desk at check-in, even though this was already included in the booking.com upfront payment.
- Naif (1/5): اسوئ تجربه - سئ ولا انصح والله انه سئ جدا المبني متهالك والنظافه سيئه داخل السوق والموظف وجدته اخد جوالي وكنت اعتقد انه بيشيك ع حجزي ووجدته يحاول رفع التقيم ف علشان كذا لايخدعك التقيم الفندق حق عمال هنود
- Dimitar (8/5): - The location is in the heart of HK, you get what you pay for that price, staff try their best, you pay extra staying tax when you arrive about 1 euro, you give deposit for your key they give it back in the end
- Álvaro (10/5): -
- AlexStelzer (2/5): - The room itself was ok. They tried to scam me in the very beginning. They said something about a new tax that was introduced. I didn't pay and they said that the manager will talk to me the next day. No one ever talked to me about this again. But it was still annoying, cause the lady at the reception kept looking angry at me.
- Mylene (10/5): Love it will most likely come - The manager Manjod ☺️ Elevator crowded
- Hugo (10/5): -
- James (10/5): - Excellent service, great view, very clean rooms, lovely and helpful service staff. The location is perfect to see both hong Kong island, TST, museums and mong kok area
- Panchad (10/5): -
- Martin (1/5): Nicht zu empfehlen. - Gute Lage an der Nathan Road. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit Das Haus an sich ist übel. Der Aufzug und der Weg zum 16 Stock sind gruselig. Die Fotos versprechen viel mehr als die Zimmer wirklich bieten. Mini-WC mit Dusche über WC-Schüssel ist unterirdisch. Wir fühlten uns übers Ohr gehauen. Schlechtes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, schlechteste Unterkunft auf der gesamten Reise. Die gleichen Zimmer werden unter verschiedenen Namen angeboten - siehe Foto
- Enrique (6/5): Precio calidad está bien. - Buena ubicación.
Autobús y metro desde el aeropuerto directo casi en la puerta del hotel. Eso es genial. Cuesta encontrar el hotel. La habitación muy estrecha (ancho de la cama)
- mariem (1/5): Please Don't - The only good thing is Location Nothing was good about this accommodation. First, the room size was very small – if you are tall, you have to sleep diagonally to fit in the bed. Second, I found an insect in the bathroom, which was very disgusting. Third, there was no proper space to take a shower. Fourth, the air conditioning was extremely noisy at night, making it impossible to sleep. Even when turned off, there was still a lot of noise. The entrance gate is inside a commercial area, and you have to queue each time to use a very small elevator. Overall, I had the impression of sleeping in a bathroom that was just converted into a bedroom by adding a bed.
- Haluk (10/5): -
- Agun (10/5): clean room great loction - staf is good clean the room every day and change the towel every day value of money
- Cjarl (1/5): Cockroach infested (pictures are screenshots from videos, so a bit unclear). Literally had them on the toilet seat. Room - Location Everything.

- Jade (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kwan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jhoema (8/5): Very good -
- Amelia (2/5): Scammer - We were tricked. According to our paid booking it was supposed to be an entire apartment with 2 bedrooms and 3 toilet. When we reach the place, the reception lady refused to honor the booking and insisted we stay to the rooms she will provide
- Ria (4/5): Good location budget is okay but rhe room is too small - Location is good budget okay The place is too small for a family of 8 though were only 6 came fhe bed is too small for a double bed . No tables to put our food apart from side table cockroaces present when we arrived the lift is too small
- Lau (8/5): Overall, I like the staff. They are extremely friendly and helpful. Also the daily room service. - Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. I received room service every day - unlike other ones in ChungKing Mansion. The size of the room is a bit small, and the TV was not working.
- Gina (9/5): Superb -
- Luis (7/5): Good -
- Niño (1/5): SHAME!!! SCAMMERS!!!TOTAL DISASTER 😡 - Nothing at all. This property does not exist. When we arrived, they directed us to another hotel in the same building. The property’s premises were in bad condition, my mother vomited for 2 days straight because of this. As soon as we entered the rooms that they had given us which were VERY different, we checked the utilities and UNFORTUNATELY, pillows, mattresses were full of moulds and we got skin rashes a minute after. We decided to leave the property after that, 04h00 in the morning to find another one and good thing we found another one. The property CANCELED our reservation and told that it was a Non show reservation even though we have EVIDENCES that we went there and they don’t want to guarantee us a REFUND even Booking will tell you to contact the property and TO DO IT BY YOURSELF. DO NOT PAY IN ADVANCE BEFORE SEEING THE PROPERTY IN PERSON 🤮 😡 It is a total scam. We have been waiting for a response regarding the issue that we had with them but they never answered. Booking told us that they do not have a sufficient evidence to close this property despite of the fact that there are reviews about it. I HOPE THIS SCAM that they are doing will stop immediately. 🤮 😡
- Bammy (4/5): Disappointing -

- Emalyn (1/5): Very poor do not stay here. This is the hood.not safe for female - Nothing at all.. staff are courteous but cant hide that the place is a rundown. To be there is like you are put in a cage. Beside the garbage disposal..undignified and inhumane. The place is so small and could hardly walk in the room. For the price of it you just need to add $40 for a decent hotel with meal.$90 is too much for it. Its not worth the savings. Other than that this felling that its like a brothel when i walk that way up to the elevator. Dirty filthy almost like a gangster hood kind of place. This should be illegal. No fire exit incase of emergency. And the room is broken. Had it not been too late we will back away and leave. Dont ever try ruining your stay in hongkong its not worth your money after all.
- Jason (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lyn (1/5): Never again. -
- Liela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ria (1/5): They need to include all the fees on the price given otherwise its a big problem - None
The toilet is very bad broken flash The bedding is not clean room are too small
During our arrival they ask us to pay for the tax and service charge an i was really shocked about it almost 1000HKD aside from our deposit
Good thing they return my deposit but still wondering wat is the tax that they are saying and service charge for cleaning charge etc. was is not included on our booking??? I dont think it worth it
I even told the cleaners not to go inside our rooms but when we return after our tour they still change everything
Room are not clean and worth the price
- Marvie (6/5): Pleasant -
- Jenylyn (10/5): Clean and nice stay - location is great clean and nice room no
- Baasanjav (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leonard (1/5): A BIG SCAM. PHOTOS SHOWN ARE DIFFERENT FROM ACTUAL. HIDDEN CHARGES. COCKROACHES. RATS. DO NOT BOOK. - Location is very convenient, but there are many more alternatives around the area. Let me use the remaining area for WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE, as the space is limited.
Let's start with the check-in process: it says on their page that Manila Lounge is located at Flat A5, 8/F, Block A, Chungking Mansion. Upon arrival at the ground floor of Chunking Mansion, you would be greeted by 2 long lines to the elevator. One side for odd floors and the other for even floors. It would be a very busy elevator so be prepared to be squished, this would be very difficult during check-in and check-out as you would have baggages with you, you might be asked to even sit on your luggage to fit as much people in the elevator as possible.
During our booking, it was still not indicated on the page that the key collection would be at the 16th floor, so we went to the said floor of Manila Lounge, which is the 8th floor, no one was there, not a single person, or receptionist, it's like entering a private property. So we opted to go back to the ground floor to ask for directions. We were told by the elevator assistant that all check-ins would be at the 16th floor of the building. Apparently, most accommodations, if not all, at Chunking Mansion belong to one the same group. So it wouldn't matter which hostel brand you are booking, as long as it's in Chunking Mansion, it would be the same experience. We booked a Deluxe Suite (Private Suite) with the following "specifications" VS ---what we were given:
• "Size: 24.15 m²" --- we were placed in 2 separate cramped rooms shown at the photo, assuming the beds are standard sizes, each room with only be around 6.3 m²
• "Bathrooms: 3" --- actual was only 2. One for each room. Toiletries provided are just Shampoo and Body Wash. No slippers as indicated on their page.
• "The air-conditioned suite has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with a shower and slippers. Among the room amenities are a dining area, a tiled floor, heating as well as an outdoor dining area and city views. The unit has 4 beds." --- There is OUTDOOR DINING AREA. NO CITY VIEWS. There's one small window that faced the wall of the adjacent building, there is no natural lighting from outside. Be prepared also for a lot of COCKROACHES inside the room, and also a RAT running around the public area of the reception area, where the microwave, refrigerator and water dispenser are located.
We asked, why we were given separate rooms, they said that it is currently unavailable, but checking on the property page that day, it says that there is still 1 Deluxe Suite available. I think this room type doesn’t really exist and just used to lure guests to their property.
The biggest scam is the HIDDEN CHARGE. We were charged a mandatory cleaning fee of HK$635 on top of a refundable HK$200 key card deposit. HK$830 out of the pocket, right on your first day in Hong Kong.
During check-out, before they give you back your HK$200 key card deposit, they would ask you to rate the property a good score / comment, right in front of them. That explains the good ratings that you would see on the property page. It's like getting a threat, if you want your deposit back.
Don't let the cheap price fool you, and spoil your vacation. Tourists deserve better value for money than this.

We explain to them that this is not what we booked online and would like a refund. The hotel explained they would be happy to refund us if we speak to booking.com. So later booking.com contacted the hotel asking to refund us in which they then refused. So the hotel reception lied to our faces and kept our money. Check the photos i have for reference.
The hotel is also on one of the top floors of a very old building in which the lift arrives every 10 minutes so enjoy trying to conveniently access this hotel.
- Royenna (9/5): Superb - accommodating and very clean rooms. Near to everywhere
- Mahesh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Patricia (5/5): Probably won’t return. - Location. Near K11 and train station. Hair dryer and TV doesn’t work. My sister is in doubt if someone’s using the room since there has been some dirt and used cotton buds (which my sister doesn’t have and didn’t use) from the bed even it has been changed. Left the used clothes on top of the bed and saw my sister’s underwear inside the toilet when we got back (we didn’t know what happened). Room doesn’t smell that good.
- Patricia (5/5): Ambivalent - Location. It is near K11 mall and train station. There has been a mishap about the payment but not bothered at all. It may or may not be their Manila Lounge’s fault or booking.com. You have to wait for quite a while for the elevator since the elevator doesn’t stop in between going up or down. It will go all the way up and down. Check in is at 2pm but we have to wait for 1 hr and half for the rooms to be cleaned. Ended up getting 1 room for 4 persons and 1 room for 2 persons instead of 1 room for 6 persons. We used the fire exit once and didn’t tried it again since it is dirty. There are other tenants in the building. Found a black trash bag under the bed and we didn’t bother to check it to what’s inside. Saw some small cockroaches inside the room as well. Room and building is old. Toilet/bathroom is small. Toilet mirror is halfway falling off the wall. They change the sheets everyday, it may or may not be ok for everyone who is conscious about their belongings. They also don’t change the towels, you have to provide the used towels so that they can change it with new ones. If you’re not too picky and just staying to sleep, I think you will be ok.
