From our 5-day trip to Hong Kong, 1 thing I observed is that this place is not cheap. You'll definitely get what you paid for. We stayed at Crystal Hostel inside Chungking Mansion during weekdays mostly because we thought we'll spend most of the day wandering around, but then it was really tiring (bring really comfy shoes) so we kinda take rests during late afternoon since Chungking Mansion is in Tsim Sha Tsui (located at the center of most tourist spots). We transferred to Stanford Hotel during the weekend since most of these cheap hotels' rates rise up to which they are the almost same price with high-end end hotels.

- Near the MTR, malls, restaurants, food stalls, street markets
- Good breakfast buffet
- Very cozy and clean room
- Nice window view
- A free phone you can use while roaming around
- Very friendly staffs
- Complimentary water
- There is a user-friendly safe
- You can also leave your luggage in the lobby if you are checking out but still want to go around a bit more
Cons:
- The only thing I can say that may be needed to be out in there is that, there was no bidet. lol
Note:
There is a 500HKD deposit, not sure if this goes up if you stayed more than 1 night. Better use a credit card so you won't have to take that money off your vacation budget.
