Well, it’s what you expect for that amount of money, but I didn’t expect the cockroaches and I didn’t expect the fuses blowing on if you use too many of the appliance, like if you had your hot water and the Aircon on the fuse would go.
But if you pay peanuts, you get what you pay for.

⚠️ 5 STARS FOR VISIBILITY ONLY - URGENT WARNING ⚠️
AVOID: "Hi-Inn" & "Hostel Venus" in Chungking Mansions, Tsim Sha Tsui in southern Kowloon, HK.
Giving 5 stars ONLY so this warning appears first. Worst accommodation experience ever.
Save your money and sanity. Hong Kong has countless better options. You've been warned.
THE SCAM:
Booked 'Hostel Venus'—upon arrival, manager demanded I take 'Hi-Inn' room instead (same operator runs both names, worse location). When questioned, rudely told my booked room was "given to someone else." Said I could get refund and find another hotel - this was late afternoon when options are limited (intentional). Later refused refund. I immediately booked elsewhere and left. Best decision made.
THE REALITY:
No matter how nice photos look, these are in Chungking Mansions - a 65-year-old (built 1961) poorly maintained complex. Reality vs photos:
Extremely dated, maze-like interior
Floors 1-2: chaotic cramped shops
Upper floors: countless tiny budget guesthouses
Nothing like the clean exterior photos shown online
ROOM CONDITIONS:
Poor cleaning standards
Overwhelming air freshener smell
Ancient, deafeningly loud A/C
Microscopic bathroom - NO separation between shower/toilet (everything floods when showering)
Windows reveal 65 years of grime on building exterior
BOTTOM LINE:
Operator runs multiple properties (Hi-Inn, Hostel Venus, likely more) using deceptive practices. Rude staff. Misleading photos. Building conditions shocking.
Een uur moeten wachten tot er eindelijk iemand van de receptie kwam. WC en douche in 1 ruimte van ca. 1,5 vierkante meter. Kapot beddegoed, kakkerlakken. Het "hotel"is in een gebouw met uitsluitend indische en afrikaans handelaren die je op elke mogelijke manier lastig vallen om je copy watches, bags, sim kaarten, kostuums en meer aan te smeren en daarbij jniet schromen je proberen af te zetten. Eens maar nooit weer. Betaal liever het dubbele en neem een echt en fatsoenlijk hotel.

WORST PLACE EVER
CHECK IN - the worst of any place. I arrive the day of check in and they took my name and had me sign in - I was to spend the day with my Aunt and decided to sleep over at her place (she lives in HK) that night
The next day I arrive at 2pm to get the key to the room I was assigned and found out they gave my room away (because I did not stay that night) I was left outside with a squeaky intercom that you cannot understand Guys try standing in front of this intercom and see if you can even make out what you are saying I stood there with a bursting bladder and FINALLY they buzzed me in
After speaking to the front desk person they gave me a room in another building Hotel Skycity (it's a chain that starts with 'Hotel') and later told me that I was staying there for now until they can find another spot for me tomorrow Whaaaaat????
It is obvious they are overbooking their rooms like crazy and leave guests in the lurch Absolutely horrible practice
ROOM - approx 8X8 sq ft including the bathroom in the corner It is clean with safe and AC The bathroom/toilet/shower room is one spot on the corner of the room There's a small TV (don't care)
LOCATION - very convenient to shopping metro and food This is the only plus and that's why one star (then again you can't really do zero stars)

Klaustrofobiskt och inte trevlig personal
Vi kom dit på kvällen, trötta efter en lång flygning. Ringde på porttelefonen 2 ggr innan vi blev insläppta, sen kommer vi till en mörk reception där det är tomt och ingen kommer på ett tag, vi blir otåliga och undrar hur vi ska kunna checka in. Vi ringer igen och efter en stund kommer en ung kille som mest verkar irriterad för att vi stör honom. Rummet ser inte alls ut som på bilden, pyttelitet! Det gick knappt att röra sig. Lakanen var rena i alla fall!
Är man en person och backpackar är detta rum kanske okej. Men vi ville bara därifrån så fort som möjligt

나홀로 여행객에게는 괜찮습니다.
침사추이의 청킹맨션 c블럭에있으며 호텔이라고 하지만 다른 게스트하우스가 몰려있는 곳에 위치해 있다. 가격 대비 하루를 쉬어가려는 나홀로 남성 여행객들에는 나름 괜찮은 곳으로 그냥 잠만 잔다고 생각하면 만족할 수 있는 곳이다. 자정이 지난후에는 데스트에 체크인을 도와주는 상주 인원이 없으므로 미리 체크인 여부를 확인하는 것이 좋다.

The hotel is conveniently located in Kowloon. The room is small, the private bathroom tiny. The shower head is actually mounted on the wall over the toilet. The interactions I had with the staff was pleasant. This hotel is in one of the "mansions" which means it's a multi use building. The elevators are small and you frequently had to queue up and wait for a turn to your floor (12th in the case of Venus).
My biggest aggravation had nothing to do with the hotel, it was the incessant offers for suits and fake Rolex watches, as well as occasionally hashish. You get tired of constantly having to shoo away these determined Indian chaps trying to hustle you.
