The building is old, and the elevator was broken for two and a half out of four days. We had to carry our luggage up the stairs. The TV in the room always had bad reception and was completely unwatchable. The toilet flush was broken, so I had to reach in and manually pull the lid to flush it... If I had to name a good point, it's that the location is convenient. At least the room didn't have that moldy sewage smell you often find in old buildings. The bedding seemed clean as if someone had washed it themselves. It felt more like renting an apartment from an owner for four days with utilities included, where you're completely self-sufficient. This is not a hotel, inn, or B&B.

Response from Property: Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your stay. As the manager, I take the facility maintenance issues you mentioned very seriously and have recorded your feedback:
Elevator Maintenance: The building's elevators are managed by the property management office. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the sudden malfunction, which required you to carry your luggage. We will continue to urge the building management to improve elevator maintenance.
Room Facilities: Regarding the issues with the TV signal and toilet tank, this clearly does not meet our service standards. We have arranged for engineering personnel to conduct a comprehensive inspection and replacement to ensure that future guests do not encounter the same problem.
Hygiene: We are pleased to hear that you appreciate our efforts in hygiene. Our bedding is indeed washed in-house to ensure cleanliness.
We understand that the difference between a "homely" feeling and "poor service" is very thin. We will strive to improve facility maintenance and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more complete and "hotel-like" service experience in the future.
Sincerely, Ah Shan Hotel Management Team

The place was clean and hygienic. The owner was very welcoming and spoke standard Mandarin. They even arranged an early check-in for us, and the check-in process was quick. It's close to the subway, making it convenient to get around.

Service is why I'll come back. We arrived late and they handled check-in without fuss, lent us umbrellas when it rained, and let us use the shared fridge and the free water dispenser anytime. On checkout day at 11am, the owner herself kept our luggage safe so we could roam around Mong Kok comfortably to buy things to bring home. That alone made the trip stress-free.
The room was clean, quiet, and the bed was actually comfy. Hot and cold shower pressure was strong, there was a hair dryer, and everything worked. Yes, the building shows its age — think of a 5-year-old car that's still solid but needs a deeper clean in the corners — but for the price it was more than fair. It's the kind of "old but gold" spot that's perfect when you just need a good sleep base while exploring.
Location is a winner. It's right in Mong Kok, about 5 to 10 minutes walk to the MTR, and minutes from Ladies Market and Langham Place. The hostel also lists luggage storage and express check-out, which matches what we experienced, and standard check-out is 11am.
Super accommodating owner, very affordable for 4 nights, and they have different room types for solo, couples, or groups. I told the owner I'll definitely stay again next time I'm in Hong Kong. Recommended.

The landlady of this guesthouse is arrogant and rude, always stirring up trouble, and her service attitude is absolutely terrible. I strongly advise tourists visiting Hong Kong to avoid staying here, unless you want to pay to be treated poorly. There are actually several other guesthouses in the same building to choose from. Hong Kong's tourism industry has really improved a lot lately, and the service attitude is generally much more friendly and welcoming.

It was really hard to find the accommodation as no information was provided on how to get there. We had to ask multiple people where exactly the hostel is. We booked a double bed room but when we arrived we got the cheaper twin bed room. The rooms are quite small, but you can see that on the provided pictures. Everytime you take a shower, the whole bathroom, including the toilet, are flooded. Our door lock was broken and on the last day, someone was entering our room while we were laying in bed without clothes. The person didn't even apologize, and we felt very uncomfortable. Last but not least they allow you to store your luggage, but it's 30 HKD per piece, which is incredible expensive, considering you're a hotel guest. We therefore took all of our luggage to the restaurant instead. Next time we'd either skip Hong Kong or invest a little more money into the accommodation.

For this price in Hong Kong, staying at a hotel like this is pretty good. You can't really compare it to mainland China, after all, land is scarce and there are a lot of people here.

I had a great stay, the staff were friendly and the environment was pleasant. The other guests were also very considerate. Plus, there are lots of local snacks nearby and shopping is incredibly convenient. I didn't take any pictures, but I genuinely wanted to express my thanks! From a mainland traveler.
