New Yan Yan Guest House — Hotel in Hong Kong

The room internet gave my phone a virus first minute using the WiFi. Took me over a month to get my WeChat working again. The public network is probably used by scammers as I was informed later. Booking and check in was relatively easy & super deceptive, host was very polite at all times but spoke rubbish when he opened his mouth. Paid several hundred on top of the room rate for "service & cleaning""...which was never touched in the four nights there. We swept the floor ourselves, emptied the rubbish bin & found fresh towels ourselves. Room service simply does not exist, yet paid for! That is theft. ||TV never worked, as with the air conditioner. We were assured a technician was coming the 2nd day however, that never happened. Room had a ceiling fan which are usually great but this one was too noisy to use, such a shame. Bathroom was tiny if not micro, complete with a broken toilet seat, yet still remained functional as a bathroom. The larger bed was very noisy with every movement as the base was created by many off-cut pieces of wood. Consequently, the mattress was getting very moldy as it was unable to breathe against the plastic laminated wood surface. This bed is only suitable for a person no taller than 174cm or both feet will touch the wall. The other bed is similar in size but open at the foot end. Bed sheets were very thin stained with blood & had several holes too. The room had a step in the center. See pic please. Certain to trip someone over in the middle of the night and stump toes at any time. Room is generally quiet enough. Noisy by other guests talking outside, little noise from the window as courtyard appears used for...

Stayed here as close proximity to Space museum. Better hotels are closer as since discovered. Booking and check in was easy, host was very polite at all times. Paid on top of the room rate for service & cleaning...which was never touched in the four nights there. We cleaned the floor ourselves, emptied the rubbish bin & found fresh towels on day 3.

I have just checked out after 4 nights here and I would highly recommend for any backpackers or people on a budget. The guest house is in the Chungking mansion which is completely safe despite what you may read in other reviews, the only hassle you will get is guys trying to get you to eat at their restaurant as you enter the building.

The location of the Chungking mansion is perfect to walk to the star ferry terminal, avenue of the stars etc and there is also a metro station outside to get anywhere you need as well as all shops etc.

The staff here were extremely friendly and helpful and there is a water cooler with instant hot and ice cold water, we were given fresh towels each day and the shower was hot and powerful, the bed was comfortable and the A/C was good.

Of course the room is SMALL but for the price in a city like Hong Kong I don’t know how you could expect it to be any bigger. If you plan to get up and be out and about for the entire day hiking and exploring the city like us and just need a comfy place to stay with a good location I could not recommend this place enough.

If I return to Hong Kong I...
