4 nights booked non refundable and only stayed here for 7 hours. The queue to a sardine like,
jampcked elevator was not a welcoming experience
for first time travellers to Hongkong. Chungking Mansion is made of several hostels and Philippine Hostel is one of them. There are only two elevators for a very busy building so wait time to get into the the lift is about 15 minutes. I checked in, was surprised to find the corridors so narrow where I struggled rolling and fitting my 20 kg size luggage. I could not close the door of the reception area because the space between I and my bags and the reception desk was pretty small. The front desk service was okay except for a lady behind the front desk personnel lying down playing with her phone. Seeing that was not a good sign.
I entered my room whixh is deluxe double and was frustratingly agitated at what I have seen. No walk path around the bed. the bed was fitted between the walls of the comfort room and the room walls. The only space is between the edge of the bed and our room’s door which is about 1 meter space to the bathroom. So we do not have a space for our luggages except for a very tight space under the bed that can accommodate one 20 kilo luggage, Only 1 person can do one thing at a time because of lack of space. The toilet- very tiny and no shower area apart from the little space from which you literally walk in from the door. When i showered, water dripped into the bedroom floor. Not recommended at all, unsafe!
