There are hundreds of Ritzes in Hong Kong, but this is not one - still, in its division, it's one of the best hotels I've been to. You get your own room with a bed, tv and small bathroom. The room is quite small, but if you wanted big you would neither go to HK nor pay those rates. I found it nice, comfortable and very clean, and it should be compared (extremely favourably) to the insecurity and inconvenience of hostels and shabby guesthouses. One thing: the location is a blessing and a curse. The Chungking Mansion is right in the centre of the Kowloon side of HK. However, during my stay, one of just two elevators was broken, leading to 15 minute lift queues, so I had to think through logistics a bit extra. Also, the place is a big trading spot for various goods and gives a somewhat sketchy impression. Had the elevators worked this wouldn't be a problem as I'd just go outside and be within a block from the Temple Street, the Walk of Stars and the star ferries. This hotel enabled me to have a great sight-seeing trip to Hong Kong at a low budget and gave me good rest. It beats any hostel and cheap hotel in Asia I've been to at the same price rate - and I've seen quite a few. For what it tries to be (extremely low-budget but comfortable), it succeeds greatly. Also, met the owner - lovely old man with a big beard who immediately asked to make sure the service had been good and I enjoyed my stay. I did, and I would probably book this hotel again next time in Hong Kong!
