Made the decision to stay here due to TripAdvisor reviews....so here are my comments: on the Mainland. Just a few streets off what is a very upmarket area. Once you start heading towards the hotel, the neighborhood becomes dodgy. The outside sign is torn. There are 'ladies' on the street. Having said that- the inside is lovely. The room (we took a superior room) was very comfortable. Clean. Everything you need. Great wifi. Quiet. Very safe. In fact outside is also VERY safe. The hotel is well located, close to metro. Close to night market. In fact I would stay here again! The staff were exceptional! Helpful, friendly and very accommodating. Dont let the outside put you off. It almost did me, and I have changed my mind completely. A great hotel.

Friendly staff. Owned by a serial entrepeneur apparently, good resto next door, owns a great biscuit bakery (free samples in lobby) and very nice old illustrations of hk in the past on walls elevator etc. Stylish Rooms a bit small...but well equipped...plugs, accessories, good But Altho HK is totally safe, the PC type of traveller, or the excessively morally upright may find the area around challenging. The street has a populstion of erm.....^^working ladies^^ which would have rivalled Times Sq NYC in the 80s. But quirky, friendly, clean, good wifi, well located..and good priced

This was a very small but functional room. There was a fridge, shower and toilet all within arms reach of the bed. No natural light, but very good WiFi. It’s easy to get to by bus from the airport and it’s bustling with eateries, markets and restaurants. I found reception helpful and informative. Felt perfectly safe travelling on my own.

This is the most horrible, poor and dirty hotel I've been in my life. It's been really a terrible experience. Hotel practically without lobby, without facilities, with the smallest room you can imagine, like a cemetery burial place, without hangers or cabinets, and unbelievably small bathroom. And the price was more than 130 US$! Ten times more what you could expect for a dog's room like that. And the personnel at check-in is very arrogant and impolite. Not only they charge your card upon check-in instead of charging upon check-out, but also they ask you for another credit card, that should be different from the first (I don't know why?), for covering guarantee for incidental costs, and they force you to sign the slip! Incidental costs for what, in such a flophouse? The road outside is full of prostitutes.…

Got offered this hotel very last minute. Price was right. Only thing would be that it’s a tad bit small compared to the pictures. But was able to get a good night sleep and clean bathroom . Walking distance to transportation and other food places

We booked the superior twin room and it did not seem very superior to be honest. Was still very small but i guess that's common for Hong Kong. Just could not imagine what the standard twin would have been like given there was not much more space to reduce. Bathroom however was very nice... Big shower with normal and rainshower option. Quite clean. Friendly staff, always helped out with luggage storage and would retrieve forgotten items. Left my charger and they have attached it to my luggage while it was in storage after checkout. Location is good, right by the temple Street Night Market. There are some prostitutes around, but they don't pester anyone and do not cause awkward situations, so is not a big deal. Just be aware of the fact. Other than that it was OK. Nothing special or luxurious but not bad either. …

This is the worst hotel I have EVER stayed in, anywhere. Firstly, it's not actually a hotel, because all the rooms have a 'guest house' notice on the door. The rooms are minuscule (I am writing this sitting on the single bed, because the 'desk' consists of a tiny pull-out shelf above the mini-fridge which is too small for a lap-top), the staff are unhelpful and the prices are ridiculously high even allowing for Hong Kong rates. Do anything to avoid staying here. I am checking out two days early.

Had a two nights stay in the Shai. Didn't expect much for the price but was disappointed nontheless. Room was very small, the ceiling height is quite low (1,90m) and the room wasnt very Clean... unidentifiable stains on the Walls and the floor in the Room and bathroom seem to have not been vaccumed before my arrival. The bed was too small/ short for my height, as expected. For me an absolute no-go was that warm (Not Hot, just warm) water wasn't available in the evening/ night (6pm/10pm) only in the morning. The location is good however. Very close to the airport bus station and to temple street and the night Market. Also they provide a little box of toilettries, like shampoo, toothbrush, shower cap, comb, etc. Summary: Ok to stay there for a Night, if you Stay more Nights, rather book a hotel on Hong Kong Island!…
