Day and Night Hostel Reviews

I was very happy with this accommodation. The Chunking Mansions is bustling 24/7 and it is an old building - the air-con and plumbing can be a little noisy at night, so if you are a light sleeper I suggest you bring some ear-plugs.

Overall, I thought this was an excellent hostel. The building it is in, the Chunking Mansion is itself a bit dilapidated and falling apart, but the Day and Night rooms are in general pretty clean and well maintained. The dorm room bathroom isn't particularly nice, in that the toilet seat is old and cracked and it's part of an old broken down building. Not sure about the rest of the building, but the rooms appear secure and each person has access to a safe for their valuables. I recommend it.

To be fair, all hostels inside Chunking Mansions are appalling. By comparison this hostel is much better than most, on the quieter side, therefore lifts not too busy. We were only there for 1 night before going through to China so it served its purpose of a bed for the night and a shower in the morning. There are no frills. Accommodation is expensive in HKG, so you are getting what you pay for. Bathrooms are cleanish, if rather tacky. Check-in/out speedy and efficient.

... Where do i start. First of all Chungking Mansion is as seedy as travelers make it out to be. Lifts are tiny and so be prepared to wait. Rooms are small but clean, however did find stains on my bedsheets. The Staff, spoke little english and could not provide basic tourist information, for example food hawker centers/ cheap places to shop. Their response "i don't know" which is pretty poor for a international hostel. Very close to Tsim Sha Tsui train station, so getting around is easy

Excellent location, no common area for meeting people unfortunately but I think most HK hostels are like that. Free internet terminal which is an excellent bonus.

there is nice place and friendly staff.it safe one that accessible with door security code.

Seems to have plenty tiny cockroaches crawling on the walls. Apart from that, everything else appear to be worth the money...

The place is excellent value!! It is right in the heart of the city and the staff are amazing. The place is new, very clean and really good value for Hong Kong.

I had heard horror stories about the Chung king mansions, but the place is fine, and even good fun if you embrace is it. This hostel is well run, very secure with electric dOor codes etc and very clean. Best thing about this place is location. It's perfect.

I like service in Day and Night hostel there. I will stay there again if I go Hong Kong.

Basically, we are happy with our staying.

Nice spot and a decent place, if your on a budget the Chung Chuck mansions or what ever there call is the place to stay! This place is a gooden we stayed just down the street last time and it wasn't as good as this! Prepare to get harassed at the bottom and enjoy waiting for the lift, all part of it though! All good!

Very friendly staff, clean, newly renovated rooms, secure, quiet and well managed by a family from India and their wonderful Philippines staff. Free wifi, laundry and tea/coffee... All in all a really refreshing surprise for Chungking Mansions and by far the best budget lodging I've experienced in Hong Kong since the first time I visited in 2003. And, it's in one of the blocks that has relatively less elevator traffic, an added bonus. I'll definitely be back.

The place is nice. People is so nice and friendly. This place is in Kowllon mean old part of HK its just couple station of HK fair and so close to all other part of HK. If you not need to stay in room want to see HK this place is so good. Dont forget to bay OCTOPUS Card on airport before travel in HK because this card is for all kind of transport in HK and U can pay in most shops.

A good hostel to stay, unless you want to stay longer at the hostel. It is a perfect place, for the person who want to travel all day long and sleep in the night. What i don't like of the hostel is the electricity management. The electricity was down suddenly in my room when I stayed at there, and the staff didn't much help.

Great place..clean..friendly staff...plus fridge and safe in the rooms. I would stay again.

Very good Staff Accomodation, Hospitality and Courtesy. Excellent Location! Triple A+++! Highly Recommended! Value for money and excellent location!

The worse nightmare ever! The reception was closed despite my booking and the fact that they advertise 24 hours. Finally a guest opened the door. We woke up the receptionist and he told me that he gave my bed to someone else! 3am in the morning without a bed despite a booking. Then he offer me to stay on the coach for the rest of the night if I pay for the night! What choice did I have at 3am in the morning. Last the next day they put me in another hostel which had much lower rating...

My stay at Day and Night was pleasant - the facilities were clean and the location was excellent, although the lifts were a bit slow and small! They moved my room for the last night into a smaller room from a dorm room but were otherwise very keen to help.

As good as any other hostel I've stayed in HK, and probably one of the cheapest. Chung King Mansions may be an 'acquired taste', but it's an excellent location for getting around. The room was small, but bigger than other places I've stayed. It was clean (apart from a layer of dust on the flatscreen TV) and I was even provided with a towel. The staff were helpful and friendly, although I had trouble waking them up to let me in to check-in at 3am, despite claiming 24 hour reception.
