Mini Central — Hotel in Hong Kong

Room was very dirty. Unbelievably humid, the ventilation and AC are unable to do their job, you are either super cold, or warm and humid. During my stay I had to move the dehumidifier to a not so large room to fix the “weather” indoor and every 6 hours the water tank is full. Without AC or dehumidifier, your floor will start to get very wet, and the dehumidifier was taking a lot of space so imagine moving around in a small dirty room and staying with another person plus the hot shower steam. They really need to install an window in each room and ventilate the whole floor once in a while. The building structure itself makes the stay very difficult and it shouldn’t be as accommodation purposes. The sound isolation was bad, can hear your neighbors very well, the doors do not have silencer so do expect slamming doors at your floor. The corridor is warm and humid as well, the building is too old and unable to ventilate properly so do expect you are going to wait for elevator in your sweat. The bed was uneven as I believe my room was supposed to be a solo room, so they just put a larger mattress on a solo bed frame. The hard mattress was very crooked and uncomfortable. The linens were also dirty and the pillows were very lumpy and old. I barely slept during my stay. The shower was dirty and sometimes could be smelly. The shower pipe was broken during the stay, and hot and cold water were unstable and difficult to find a balance of temperature. And not to mention the transparency of the toilet. There is no privacy and it’s super inconvenience if you are staying with someone, or needed to open the door. And the mirror by the entrance makes you very visible even you hide behind the door. I stayed 12 nights but the cleaning team never refilled any supply like water and coffee, could have just leave items at the door. Vending machine is nice, but could be pricey. Staff are very friendly, but they cannot solve the hotel hardware problem. They really tried their best at work, but for most of the issues there is nothing they can do. Definitely not...

I have travelled much of the world and this ranks as one of the worst hotels I have stayed in. Do NOT stay here. I am writing this to help others. The only reason I booked this despite the mainly negative reviews here was because I come to Hong Kong often and have stayed in the Causeway Bay branch many times. That is way better. I gave that a 5 rating and this a 1. I thought based on that, it must be the same. How wrong was I. First and last time at Central. We know it is mini, but this room was just badly designed. The person who designed this lacked common sense! Even the disposable towels despite being thin and not being able to dry yourself properly, I can allow. What I can't is that the room was FILTHY. There was mould, grime and hairs in my room. Gross! In Causeway Bay, rooms have a window, here there was no window. It was like a prison cell. The toilet had a horrible smell. Causeway Bay do housecleaning everyday. Here it is done apparently every 5 days. If you have any litter then leave it outside your room and a member of housekeeping will collect it. The hallways looked like a rubbish dump. WIFI worked well at times, but kept disconnecting especially late at night. Staff are beyond rude and unfriendly. In Causeway Bay they are way nicer. In all my years travelling, I have NEVER had to pay for a hotel to store my luggage after checking out. I had no choice as I had a late evening flight. I know it was only 10 HKD but it is the principal. Baggage storage is usually free of charge. I used to be out all day and come back late at night to avoid going to my room! The only positives are location which is in the heart of Central and the lobby area with the comfy sofas were nice. Otherwise, I WOULD NOT STAY HERE AGAIN, EVEN IF YOU PAID ME. Do yourself a favour and either book the branch in Causeway Bay or...
