Guest Reviews

• Kishor (7/5): Good -
• James (10/5): - Microwave, room refrigerator, filtered and hot water readily available
• Lai (1/5): Did not stay. Had to leave straight away it was so bad - Nothing Tiny space. No where to relax. No where to wash properly. Bad odour. Very dirty. Bad environment
• KUSUMOTO (2/5): - 写真と実物が全く違う。 狭い、臭い、不潔。最低。一泊千円が妥当。
• Gie (2/5): - This is not recommendable at all! Please if you’re family please don’t get this place it’s not family friendly place. Super small place and there a lot of vendors which makes us feel unsafe. We didn’t continue our stay here and checked out right away. Thanks to relocation team of exodus for accommodating us.
• Robert (1/5): Bad one - Not suitable for family Not good for family with kids., there some smell
• Hisham (1/5): false advertisement 😡 - location am a solo traveler , I booked the family suite just for the extra space as advertised ( 14 meters ) , but the room was much smaller ! absolutely ridiculous ! for 380 HK$ you could book a standard twin room in a hotel as best western for example
• Varindet (8/5): Very good -
• Verified traveler (2/5): - タオルが無い、ドライヤーが壊れている、トイレが流れない等日本のホテルとの違いにビックリした❗️写真に騙されてはいけない。
• Verified traveler (4/5): 立地は良い - チムサーチョイ駅の近くで立地は良いが場所はわかりづらい。時間帯によってはエレベーターが大混雑します。 部屋は2畳くらいで寝るだけのスペースしかありませんでした。
• John (8/5): Good value for the price point. - The room is on the small side but overall good value for the price. Close to everything. I am a repeat customer there.
• Verified traveler (2/5): rubbish - rubbish
• Anil (2/5): - Smell in the Bathroom Gutter couldn’t sleep in the Room. I got sick had to leave 2 Days earlier. Have requested for refund for 2 days and your response is negative Why?
• MELINDA (8/5): - The place is nice and clean at reasonable price. I felt relieved that i made the right choice of making the reservation at Skylark
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Good friendly staff, great location. Room was a lot smaller than indicated by website, no windows. Television didn't really work. This was an okay base as I spent all days and evenings out, using the room as a bed only, as it wasn't at all suitable for use as a place to relax.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The staff were really good, but the room was smaller than I was lead to believe. No windows, TV didn't really work. If I hadn't have been using the room simply as a base to sleep, I would have been very disappointed.
• u (2/5): - 部屋に戻るたびに新しい虫がいる
• Dexter (2/5): - Horrible hotel. Dont even a 1 star hotel. Accessibility is the worse thing about this location. It takes about 20 mins to get the elevator.Avoid this hotel at all cost
• Verified traveler (2/5): - 騙很大!房間僅一坪大，一張單人床加大，無窗，周邊樓層奇髒亂不堪，毫無品質可言，已改名航天都會，爛!爛!爛到爆!請回復，為貴公司信譽!
• Verified traveler (6/5): We were stuck.... - We had to reserve last minute or would never had stayed here.... Building wild and incredibly run-down. But room clean.
• LZ (2/5): - We booked room for two adults and two kids for 5 nights. After we arrived the hotel in a smelly building, they told us they didn't have big room with two beds, they gave us two separate rooms for the 1st night. The room was very small, not as showing in the picture, with one double bed in each room. I asked them if the rooms are clean without bugs, they said yes. But my wife found the bed sheet in her room was dirty with hairs, so we asked them to change bed sheets. We were tired after 16 hours flight, so we just settled down and went to sleep. They switched us to a room with two double beds on the 2nd day. We had to move all our luggage to that room at night. After we arrived at the room, I found cockroaches in the bath room. We were too tired so we just tolerated it and went to sleep. On the 3rd day, my wife saw something like wall geckos crawling on the wall and then disappeared. It was as long as her hand and she was scared. Then it came out again and kids saw it and got really scared, they couldn't stay in that room anymore. So we asked them if they had clean rooms to put us in or not. They said yes and switched us to the 3rd room. Right after we came into the 3rd room, we and the hotel people saw cockroaches crawling in the cup tray. We couldn't tolerate anymore and went out. They told us they didn't have more rooms anymore. So we came out of the building at night and ended up only staying for two nights and then rebooked Holiday Inn which was great.
• Dave (2/5): - Too small and not very clean. 14 th floor slow elevator had to wait 30 minutes to get on .
• George (4/5): - I was very disappointed with the Hotel. It is only a small room and in NO WAY a hotel. It is very difficult to find and I took a long time to locate it. It should not be described as a Hotel. I have been a customer of Expedia for a long time and this is not what I would have expected from the description. It will not prevent me from using Expedia but I will have to be more cautious of your description in future
• Jennifer L (2/5): - THE MOST AWFUL EXPERIENCE I have ever had!!! I am flight attendant and stay in a lot of hotels. I do understand the price reflecting a city's thrive and relevance HOWEVER if you pay more than 5 US dollars for this place you are being ripped off. TERRIBLE customer service, AWFUL room accommodations (although the pics make it look decent, don't be fooled they are stretched out), and very gross and sketchy location. Good for a solo backpacker (who is willing to spend a lot) willing to live on a big spender budget (and get very little). This place should be CONDEMNED!!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing and comfortable khhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
• Yitz (6/5): Great Location, good for backpackers - The Location of the hotel is excellent - it's located on the bottom of Nathan St, with easy access to Kowloon and Hong Kong. The entrance to the hotel though is beyond sketchy. It's located in a building called Chungking Mansions, where the entrance is filled with very shady immigrants from third world countries. These immigrants are not all too friendly, and they try selling you things in a aggressive matter. You enter the hotel through a tiny elevator, where the wait to enter the elevator can take at times more than 20 minutes. With that being said, once you enter the hotel itself, the staff are accommodating and the rooms are extremely small but clean. The WiFi works well, and you have AC and a TV in your room. In Conclusion: Great Location, horrible experience while entering / exiting the hotel, nice small hotel.
• Panda (6/5): Nice locations and poor surroundings. - We stay there for 10 days, I would rate this hotel no more than 2 stars. The hotel unit itself was acceptable; the room was clean (at least they've tried to keep it clean...) , the security level was good with camera monitoring the unit 24/7, the piping system were awful, they don't have pee trap installed with their piping system, therefore bad/sewage gas odor comes back up in the washroom. To correct & eliminate the bad odors, I had to plug up the sink hole with paper, close the sink drain trap, and used a plastic bad fill with water to cover the shower drain on the floor before I leave the room for the day. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to tolerate the bad smell when I come back. My first two days there were a bit of torture until I've figured out a system to stop the bad odors. The helper there was a nice fellow. However, for some reason, he likes to work at night more than during the day. The washing machine and the dryer was constantly on until 3:00 am, trying to get some sleep wasn't easy. Overall, I can't complain as I get what I paid for. Hong Kong's hotels are super expensive, staying in a guesthouse/hostel would be a better way to save your travel money, You just have to put up and balance with the pros and cons. Overall, it was an okay experience! If they can alter the points I mentioned above...then this place would be a better place to stay for that price and rating.
• George (6/5): Rough Place for Inexperienced Travelers - This place is located in a building that houses various Indian (India) merchants. There is every kind of shop and stand and the lobby area smells of Indian Curry. It can be intimidating if you're not a savvy (male) traveler. I'm a white American. As soon as I entered the building, Indian merchants started barking at me to buy their wares. I walked a gauntlet of them until I got to the elevators. The hotel was listed as being on the 14th floor. But when I knocked on the door listing the hotel name, no one answered. There were many “hotels” (doors saying they were different hotels). I've traveled the world for 47 years and never seen such an arrangement. I finally pressed an intercom button and a man answered. He said I would have to go down to the 13th floor to check in. I went there. After checking in another man led me to a different elevator taking me to a different floor. There, I actually checked into the room. It was very tiny, l(like an 8 x 10 jail cell) but the bed was extremely comfortable. The toilet and shower was an integrated unit and very efficient. You just stepped into it and closed the sliding glass door. As a mechanical engineer I was impressed with the efficiency of this arrangement. This place was interesting to me only as an adventure. But I would not stay here twice. It definitely is not for families, women or inexperienced travelers. Big Plus: If u take the Airport Express Train from HKG to Kowloon Station, a free Shuttle bus (K-3) stops next door
• Verified traveler (2/5): poor location & cleanliness, disappointed - We booked for three days but it is a poor location and not cleanliness, we rebooked a different hotel right away. It is the worse hotel that we ever had before. It is so tiny with smelly and uncomfortable. The location is very noisy and dirty. They refused to refund us for the days we were not staying. Definitely we will never recommend this hotel to anyone.
• Syu (10/5): Nice place, excellent location,value for money - Helpful staff, clean room, excellent location walkable to everywhere, strong wifi, good price
• Bal (10/5): Excellent, value for money - Comfort, excellent location, walkable to everywhere, reasonable price, nice staff
• POH LIN (4/5): Small room but great location - The cleanliness of the building left much to be desired. The fact that the hotel is on the 14th floor and there were only 2 small lifts going up, made the stay a lil unbearable. You can only fit 5 people and with big luggage perhaps only 3 people in the lift. People who werent guests were also lining up because the same lifts go to other apartments and restaurants on different floors.
• ROMEO H. (8/5): Good value - All right.
• traveller (2/5): Close to shopping malls - The hotel is so dirty and the invironment had unpleasant smell
• Verified traveler (4/5): hotel in good location - not flash but easy to locate and in a good place for accessing shopping
• Diane (10/5): fantastic - nice hotel, cheap price, kind staff, always willing to help whenever needed
• Romeo (10/5): Good place, value for money - Room is very clean, strong wifi, friendly staff, provided basic amenities. Walkable to everywhere, superb deal, sure will come again.
• Asri (10/5): Exceptional - Staff helpful, 24 hrs CCTV camra, clean and cheap place, miss poly is nice staff and helpful
• Soon (10/5): Good option for Hong Kong stay - Nice place and location is very good , near mtr station, ferry terminal. Lot of shopping malls, free welcome drinks provide on check in time,
• Jiaj (10/5): Memorable and comfortable - I forgot my ipad computer in the room, they send somebody bring the ipad to HK Airport. Highly recommended, room is small but clean, staff are honest and helpful. I will stay only in Hotel Skyview in future.
• Lance (10/5): Great location, private, hostel style - This was a great place to stay if you're traveling solo through HK. You cannot beat the location, though the atmosphere is a bit "rugged". This is not your typical American style hotel. The accommodations are typical for a youth hostel in HK, but it has the necessities: private bathroom, spacious bed for one, and Wifi.
• Christopher (2/5): Complete chancers - It was a poor. The entire building is chopped into small guess houses and they share the customers around. For example, if you book this property it's likely you'll actually stay in the same building but an entirely different guesthouse albeit with a similar name. This means you don't actually get what you pay for and your decision to choose this property is based on false means. The room I booked had cockroaches and smelled of curry. It was also tiny, as expected. All the properties are located above a creepy shopping mall. The rest of Nathan Road was pretty cool
