Right down the street from an MTR station, clean, small rooms, and free Internet. In 2003 it was HKD 280 / US $35 per night, with discounts for longer stays (at least a week). Avoid the Chungking Mansions and Mirador Mansions unless you are on a very low budget. The guesthouses there have mostly dorm rooms and theft can be a problem, and the bathroom in the Mirador guesthouse I stayed in had a shower with cold brown water and protruding nails. Haven't stayed there, but I've heard bad things about the Mount Davis hostel also. The Wang Fat hostel had a lot of people who were in the Mount Davis hostel and hated it. |

Hello,
If you dont want to stay in hotel and think that hostel is in low quality, I suggest you can stay on Lamma Island resort which has excellent environment and located on Island. Rooms charge from HK$300 dollars. You can see the below website for your reference: http://www.involvementstay.com/ Hope it helps |

I stayed there a few months ago, and found it to be a good deal by Hong Kong standards. The location was vibrant and interesting, well connected to public transport, and the proprietor (Stanley) was very friendly and helpful. miguel -- Photos from 40 countries on 5 continents: http://travel.u.nu Latest photos: Malaysia; Thailand; Singapore; Spain; Morocco Airports of the world: http://airport.u.nu |

What about Lee's Garden and Star Guesthouse?

You are wrong on ChungKing Mansions. It consists of 4 or 5 tall apartment blocks. there are dozens or hundreds of little hotels 4 or 5 on every floor of each building. If you search, you can find very clean, quite, well run hotels in there. Very tiny rooms, but very cheap. Since many residents throw their garbage out the window, it is probably the place where SARS got started. --- sarp |

Small rooms help ensure you have a chilly room within a few minutes, anyway -- David J Richardson -- http://davidj.richardson.name/ -- Dr Who articles/interviews/reviews http://www.boomerang.org.au/ -- Boomerang Association of Australia |
