I was in HK over christmas and hotel prices were exorbitant.. thus, decided to try out the guesthouses. The place was quite hard to find as I didn't expect the entrance to be a shoe shop! Also, they didn't have signs (am not sure if they are registered?).
However, once settled in, the place was quite pleasant. The owners were very helpful and friendly. Cleanliness is the main plus point here. The rooms were cleaned daily and fresh towels provided. Don't expect a spacious room, as you barely get room to move around once your luggage is in the room. However, most places in HK are similar. Basically, you get the fixings of a hotel (toiletries, clean sheets, fresh water supply daily) at a much lower cost. Location is also great as you are just right outside the MTR and walking distance to Avenue of Stars and Nathan Road. Do consider this place if you are looking for a cheaper alternative to see HK.
We went to Hong Kong on 11th Nov 08 and had booked the hotel prior to arriving (we had emailed the owners a few times & they were extremely helpful and very friendly)
The guesthouse is actually in a Mansion, above a shoe shop!! So it wasn't the easiest to find!! But most of the Guesthouses here are the same
We paid about 25 english pounds per night
The room was small, with double bed, air con, tv, hot shower, kettle, hair dryer...
Thomas, the owner, made us feel very welcome
Our room was cleaned everyday with fresh linnen & fresh glasses & the water jug was refilled
The location is fantastic, it is just off Nathan Road and around the corner from a Night Market
Overall we had a very pleasant stay here and would recommend it to anyone who just wants a clean, comfortable & affordable room.
