Guest Reviews

• Mike (3/5): Poor -
• Meral (5/5): Passable - Since you need the card to open the door, it feels safer. Generally the location is good, at center. Bed looked clean.there was no bugs hopefully. Air-conditioner was working. Whole building is such a mess. It took half an hour to find the hostel since the real hostel name is different. And the located building doesn't feel safe at all. Strangers can come in so easily. We have to wait for elevator for a long time also. Room was tooooo way small and I dont even wanna talk about bathroom.
• Imjco (2/5): EXPECTATION VS REALITY! - Easy access to MTR stations, bus and near to malls, etc. Confusing instructions as to the exact floor location! Many cockroaches! My wife even had skin irritations! Itchy beds! Bed bugs! Dirty bathroom.
• Chen (4/5): Disappointing - location is perfect. wifi was poor. now and then could not get access to internet.
• Verified traveler (2/5): We've been scammed!! - I booked a double bed room through Hotel.com for more space to work, as shown in the photos. However, upon arrival at Skystar, the room was so much smaller than expected, and it was only 1 bed!!! I couldnt even move!!! The room was so dirty!!
• Portia (5/5): Passable - Good location Beds are small
• Vy (5/5): The location was great and the room were way toooooo small! -
• Jeffrey (10/5): - Perfect
• Hiroyuki (6/5): - 立地最強。 ホテルは寝るだけでよいという人向け。四畳半未満で窓はない。スーツケースの開閉はベッド上でやらないといけないと思われます。シングルベッドは大柄の方には窮屈かも。共有スペースで誰かが話しているのは聞こえてきますが、隣室からの音は聞こえてこなかった。ゴキブリは 13 階である居住区では見かけなかったがエレベーターホールでご対面。 エアコン OK 扇風機も設置されており、壁掛けテレビあり。正しくお湯の出るシャワーとトイレは同一ブース、湯船なし。ボディソープとシャンプーだろうけどどっちがどっちかは不明。2泊だったからか歯ブラシ&歯磨き粉セット 2 つ。コップあり。タオルはバスタオル 1 枚。WIFI は速度十分。ミニミニ冷蔵庫あり。 ベッドメイキング 掃除＆ゴミ箱クリアあり (10- 14 時の間にしてくれたのだろう)。タオルは掃除のときに代わっていた。 ウォーターサーバーが共有部分にあり。 予約は Hotel Skystar だったが表札には Hotel Skycity と表記 :-) スタッフは感じのいいインド系、聞きやすい英語でした。 重慶大厦の問題だけどエレベーターがタイミングによっては大混雑して一発で乗れないことも。
• Simon (2/5): Very poor - Strong hot shower Strong aircon Helpful staff Filthy bed. Noisy aircon. Safe n telephone not working.
• Muhammad (6/5): Pleasant -
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sarah (9/5): Superb - Clean,quite,good service Small
• Natthicha (6/5): Pleasant -
• Aleksandr (5/5): Passable - Location Not clean bed
• Peter (8/5): Worth it for the price range! - The area is very convenient! The rooms are designed to be efficient with the space they have. The wifi is fast. Free hot and cold water. Environment friendly efforts are supported here. Many security cameras are installed so you feel very safe. The lobby going to your room feels very secure and convenient. Many nearby shops, malls, and food place gems. There is an A21bus stop literally in front of the building on which it travels going to the airport which is very convenient for tourist. Didn't expect the room to be so small. The elevator is somewhat slow and not so clean, but the facilities in the room which are fully functional and well maintained very much makes up for it!
• Yuka (8/5): Very good -
• Yuka (8/5): Very good -
• Latade (2/5): Safety is more important. - The location is near everything We only had few hour stay at the hostel. around 11pm a fire broke at the building behind the hostel. We are at the 16F and is very near to the fire. We have no choice but to evacuate, used stairs to go down. Having babies and an adult (73YO) really scares our life being a tourist. No one has care from the hotel to contact us and ask how was our situation. They owner even tell us that we should not go down and should have stayed at our room and just have closed all the windows. With the smoke coming out from the fire, this is not possible. The owner said that our choice is to go back and utilize our 3 days stay as they are not going to give refund if we are moving out from other hotel. We decided to move out as there is not elevator working and we have to take other elevator from other block, go to the roof deck and go down using stairs which is not possible to my elder mother and 2 year old kid. This tragic incident made us realized that safety of the tourist is not important to this kind of hostel. The 12 of us was traumatized from the incident.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 跟香港的一般民宅一樣，狹小不建議體態大的人訂單人房
• minjung (10/5): 완전 추천합니다. - 청킹 맨션의 특징을 간직하면서 조용하고 깨끗했어요 매일매일 룸청소+정리 해주시고 늦은 시간(새벽3시) 체크인 하는데도 웃어주셨어요.. 저렴하지만 매우 만족하였습니다. 엘리베이터 구역중 기다림이 제일 짧고 1층에 장사하시는 분들.. 길 안내해주시며 매우 친절합니다. 전혀 무섭지않아요.. 청킹맨션에서 나오면 지하철, 버스 걸어서 이동 가능합니다. 바로 옆어 사사 봉쥬르 있어요..
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 宿泊費の高い香港で、これほど安いことを考えると、施設、サービスその他は、これくらいで十分だと思いました。チョンキンマンション内の高層階にあるため、女性一人での利用、深夜の出入りにはリスクがあるかもしれませんが、イメージほど危険ではないと思いました。スタッフの対応には誠実さを感じました。
• nonta (2/5): - カビがついた枕と布団に足も伸ばせないくらいの長さのベットで耐え切れずに他の宿に泊まりました。ちなみに名前が「ホテル　スカイラーク」でした。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 依照網站上面的住址到重慶大樓(尖沙咀地鐵站N5出口/這個出口沒有電梯，有帶行李箱要自己扛上去)，原本是在14E(E棟14樓)，後來有一名外國人員工從樓梯間走出來，帶我去13B(B棟13樓)入住，接待櫃檯是一名印度人，英文還行溝通。我住的房間1308是沒有窗戶的，有冷氣機、抽風機，電視不能開，有些灰塵，還有看到一隻小強。 優點：位於鬧區(可買美心蛋糕/翠華餐廳)、近尖沙咀地鐵站 缺點：隔音不佳、電梯只有兩部(一部停靠單數樓/一部停靠雙數樓)
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 適合背包客的簡單住宿，但沒有毛巾、梳子⋯⋯真的很簡單
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Staying in this 'hotel' which is actually a hostel was a mistake. The only reason, I booked it was because it was listed as a hotel. I was moved from the originally booking to another hotel. The hot water wasn't working, the room was not a pictured. The shuttle to the airport non-existent and there was no one at the reception desk for check out. I searched for someone for almost an hour and called the numbers listed to no avail.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - 受付がほかの所にあってわかりにくいです かなり旅行慣れしてないとチェックインまでたどり着けなそうです。 ヘアにスーツケースを置くスペースすら無かったです。 写真と全然違かったです
• Verified traveler (6/5): 値段相応 - 音漏れすごいです。　とっても狭いです。 お湯はほぼ出ません(笑)　バスタオルは黒ずんでます。でもドライヤーついていたので助かりました。 値段考えるとそんなものかな。
• ChappyRQ (6/5): - 繁華街に近く、宿泊費も安いですが ○窓がありません。 ○シングルは4帖くらいです。 眠る以外に部屋で休みたい方にはストレスになります。 ○シャワーはトイレのすぐ上です。 ○滞在時以外は電気が切れるので臭気が部屋にこもります。 ○昇降のエレベーターでかなり待たされます。定員が6人くらいなので一度で乗れず、さらに6分以上待たさたりします。 このような部屋なので、単純に出費を少なくしたい人にはおすすめですが、旅行の質を求める方には避けたほうがいいと思います。 かなり雑多な、値段のために高所得者ではない旅行者が多いですが、危険はそれほど感じませんでした。男性だったからかもしれません。 雑居ビルの中の一部がホテルスカイスターになっているため、一階のエレベータ前の表示版を見ても、場所が書いていないのでエクスペディアの紙に記載された場所をしっかり確認して行きましょう。 受付時は別の棟（チョンキンマンションは複数の棟に分かれています）で受付をしなければならないのでその点もご注意を。 タオルはついてきませんでしたが、スタッフに頼むと持ってきてくれます。ベッドメイキングのときに、新しいものをおいておいてくれる場合もありましたが、忘れられているときもありました。 バスタオル一枚のみを貸してくれました。 ホテルスタッフがどこの部屋にいるのかも不明なので（笑）タオルは期待しないほうがいいかもしれません。 歯ブラシはついていましたが、ひげそりなどはありません。 付属のシャンプーとリンスがシャワーブースにありますが、香料が現代のものとは思えないくらい安っぽいので私は街で旅行キットを買わざるを得ませんでした。 内部の音は意外と静かです。
• w (4/5): - 大変でした！ ただ、お湯と電子レンジがあるのは、良い点。
• Satobibi (6/5): - 女性２人旅でしたが、格安だったので諦めて宿泊しました。立地は最高なので、香港に慣れている方・旅慣れた方なら問題ないと思います。フロントが存在しないので、シャワー・ドライヤー・照明・レンジの不具合は、手紙を書いて置いておきました。3畳半の狭い部屋に、香港サイズの小さなダブルベッドがあり、ぎりぎり１つのスーツケースを広げられるスペースがあるだけです。立地に納得できない方にはおススメ出来ません。Gフロアは、インド料理のお店が多く、強烈なスパイの香りに包まれています。両替レートは良いので、おススメです。ただし、各店レートが異なりますので何件か確認してから両替して下さい。お釣りはもらえませんので、手数料として支払うつもりでいて下さい。
• Verified traveler (2/5): やめときなさい。。 - 日本人が泊まれるHotelではありません、やはり３．５星以上のHotelでなければ安心出来ません。 確かに、買い物には便利ですが、部屋から１階に降りるのもエレベータ内が非常に危ないように思います、絶対に女性ならび子供が乗れる雰囲気ではありません、危険ですので注意をしてください。。
• Verified traveler (6/5): - I was sent to another place also in Chunking Mansion called Skylark. Compared with another hotel I stayed at two weeks later in the same building, I found Skylark is compacted to the extreme in terms of space in and outside the room as well as outside the window. But it costs more rather than costs less.
• Debra (2/5): It looks better in the pictures than in person! - We didn't like the hotel and the location was even worse! We booked this room online and the pictures looked fine. But in person it is a dump in a scary neighborhood! We booked it for a week for our daughter but after she stayed one night she cried and begged us not to make her stay there anymore. So we had to book her another hotel. I will not booked through Orbitz again! We did not get a refund.
• Stephanie (6/5): death would be easier - On the first attempt to check in, we were directed to 4 different areas in 3 diff. buildings. The `` main check in`` was listed under a hotel with a different name in a building complex of 5 buildings in total. The individual who owns this hotel also owns about 4-5 other hotels in the complex, but b/c of the language barrier not of the indian community on the first main level but b/c of it with staff it took us 1 hr+ to check in. Upon check in we were sent to another tower( totally get it). Once getting off the elevator we were blown away by the disgusting hygiene of the building. Btwn the smoke smell, rotting garbage, and over all filth on the walls we figured it was only one night we were paying for and hopefully we would be somewhere else the next night. That first night we got 2 hrs sleep because of people yelling in the hallways with windows opened, the smoke smell and the discomfort of the beds. The room was so small that one of us had to stand in the shower so the other could lay their suitcase on the floor to slide it under the bed, it was like a cartoon. During check out we were told to leave our key in our room ( which they only gave 2 adults 1 key. How would they know we checked out? how would they know if we late checked out? and now they had my credit card number...... great. Was then walking down the stairs surrounded by homeless, druggies+ prostitues...at 4pm. Beds hard, room cleaner was nice, mold in shower
• Matthew James (8/5): Very convenient and affordable. - I had heard about the mansions over the years and seen the 90's movie that featured them. I didn't know quit what to expect. I knew it was not going to be the 4 seasons, but when I arrived there I was put at ease. The staff at the sky star was very helpful and accomadating. The owner has 4 hotels so you may be transferred to a different hotel within the same complex, but they all seem to have decent standards. The rooms are very practical. Bed, washroom, aircon, shower, fan, tv, ect. I missed my flight on my last day and they arranged for me to stay at another hotel last minute. As I said, very helpful. For the price, the location and services are amazing. Hong Kong can be a little expensive. Like Western Europe, NYC or Canadian cities. This place is a great option. I was on a month long trek through Japan, Korea, Shanghai, ect. On Canadian dollars. Deals like this hotel made that trip possible. Thank you to the staff at the Skystar for having me and helping me out on my last day!
• Jay (4/5): This is not a hotel. This is a guest house. - This room is only around 60 square foot and no space at all to move around. The wash room is so little. No shower area. Need to take shower just next to the toilet bowl on the floor. I asked for double bed but they gave me a single bed with 2 pillows. The room is not what I saw on the internet. They have fake photos of the room on internet. No windows. They place supposed to be called a guest house not a hotel. I will never go back here.
• Mikey (6/5): Very cheap - Stayed 3 Nights and when your enter somany people are trying to ask you if you want a room cheap price, sim card, Drugs. There are different areas I stayed area E. The lifts are old take ages to get to ground floor when busy. Long lines can be waiting for about 45 mins. In the room perfect for one person. Able to fit 2 large suitcase under bed Aircon, TV which only had 5 Channel. When it came to the shower I didn't look properly in the check in but later realised you had to take a shower on the toilet very small. Close to everything. When traveling be very careful as the Changking mansion very scary at night with your belongings and don't walk down the stairs smells really bad and there are no cameras. Becareful
• Acharaporn (8/5): Meow - Inside the room was very small but great clean n comfy, but the environment not good , dirty hall way , bad smell, but if u need to save budget it's ur good choice, easy to come close to bus stop and the centre of Tshim sa shui.
• Preet (10/5): Superb deal - Comfort and relax, helpful & accommodating staff, strong wifi, location is near to everywhere, room also clean.
• Nabeela (10/5): Backpacker's Choice - Affordable price for a one night stay, comfortable rooms.
• POH LIN (4/5): Suitable for backpakers but not for families - The hotel has the basic necessities but the cleanliness in and especially outside the hotel leaves very little to be desired - dirty and smelly. The family room is too small. Not much space to move. However, for those who dont mind taking up a small lift and cramping yourselves with other visitors and workers, this hotel maybe for you. If comfort is what you are looking for, this may not be for you. Location is great nonetheless!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Location Perse - Clean bedroom in a great location! Very near to Kowloon tourist spots and shopping malls.
• Resthelyn (6/5): This is a guesthouse not a hotel - This is a guesthouse not a hotel. I've never been in an accomodation as tiny as this. There are some pros: cheap, quite clean, very good service and great location. However, should I have known the actual place/condition of the rooms, I could have spent more for a more comfortable hotel.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - We only wanted a place for a short stay. We had an 11 hour transit, so needed to book a hotel room for 2 nights. The room was cramped and not sure about the cleanliness of the bed linen, but overall it suited our purpose of somewhere to stay with ease of access. Would definitely not wanted to have had lots of luggage. Staff were very helpful and it was cheap. We pretty much got what we expected.
• Verified traveler (4/5): False Advertising! - That wasn't a hotel. It was a guest house! An apartment transformed into a hotel and a tiny room transformed into a room for 3 people; and "You" took a shower sitting on the toilet bowl. Where did the picture represented the hotel room come from? The room we got looked completely different, in size, in features!
• Jimmy (4/5): Not impress to stay this hotel - Indian people area, I am not happy to stay in this hotel. The building is dirty and busy.
• Rod (4/5): Very disappointed - After the hustle of people trying to sell you suits, rooms, and whatever, we found the reception area tucked away on the 12th floor. We were given a different room to that listed in hotels.com. A smaller room in a different block-6 sq m compared to 9. The manager insisted it was the same room listed on the website. The manager had us stay in Hotel Venus, not hotel SkyStar. The room fan and air conditioner were noisy. There was a strong smell of cigarettes from the hall. The photos did not match the room. Only that is was cheap for HK, we would have moved to a different place. Hotels.con needs to check this operator out for accuracy.
• Booh (10/5): Nice hotel close to the city - transportation very convenient, located in the city centre, easy to travel around hk
• Barri Jun (10/5): Welcoming Stay - Upon our arrival, I received a pleasant welcome by the staff there. They were very helpful and generous. They first offered me with some water to drink, and then showed me my room. The room was pretty nice and comfortable, great for a one night stay.
• Chalita (4/5): Small room near Tsim Sha Tsui - Very small room size, though clean towel and bedsheet. Location is very convenience but the building is very old and messy (Plaza at ground floor).
• sr (2/5): Horrible experience due to misleading expedia info - Expedia had some fancy pics of this hotel on their website. The actual room is almost the size of a king bed mattress. The location is good but actual building is messy. Upon reaching the address, it took me 1 hour to figure out the address and confirm the building. The inside of the building is a partitioned slum area with different establishments - extremely crowded and congested. The room was tiny but clean. Had water dripping from ac unit which leaked all over my belongings. The staff, Khan was rude and wanted me to assist him in cleaning the ac vents. The room was tidy and well maintained though. There is nothing wrong with these kind of budget hotels but expedia should ensure that they advertise only correct info about these hotels so that customers do not have false expectations when they book hotels.
• PATRICK (10/5): Perfect setup for an overnight in HK - A great facility in the middle of the Nathan Rd shopping district. Small room (not unexpected), comfortable, quiet... everything worked. Friendly, welcoming staff. I'm staying there again on my next pass thru HK. What else can I say?
• Verified traveler (4/5): Worse hotel - Your rate 5/5 is absurb. This is the worse place we ever stayed for the amount that we paid. Unless you're really on a tight budget, try somewhere else but not in this ChungKing mansion
