Shanghai Red

I had to spend a night in Hong Kong unexpectedly. I chose this hotel because it was a short walk from West Kowloon rail station. It was definitely the worst hotel I’ve stayed in many years. The room was tiny (especially the bathroom, which was basically a shower stall) and shabby and smelled of cigarettes. The bed was so hard that I had to check to see if it actually had a mattress. But the sheets were clean, the AC worked, and, since I was just there to sleep, it was, in the end, fine.

Rooms a little older but clean and comfortable with everything one needs. Staff was helpful and courteous. Perfect location with 1-15 minute walking distance of busses, trains, ferrys, parks, outdoor markets, and harbour. Local shops, stores, and dining spots are plentiful.

Room condition was not up to standard. Lot of mold smell and paint peeling off the walls.

This place was dreadful, I was also charged HK$600 for this horrible place, but I would not stay there again even if it was free.

ข้อดี สถานที่ตั้ง ใกล้ MTR Jordan มีรถบัสผ่านหลายสาย สามารถนั่งตรงจากสนามบินมาถึง เดินไม่ไกล ถึงโรงแรมเลย ราคาดี ไม่แพง เหมาะสมกับคุณภาพ ถ้าคุณจ่ายในราคานี้ ก็ต้องรับให้ได้ในสภาพ และพื้นที่ห้องแบบนี้ สำหรับฉันมันโอเค ข้อเสีย ฉันไปช่วงธันวาคม อากาศหนาว มีบางวันน้ำไม่ร้อน ในห้องเห็นกลิ่นบุหรี่มาก ไม่แน่ใจว่ามาทางไหน แต่บริเวณหน้าโรงแรมมีผู้คนสูบบุหรี่เยอะ เพราะเป็นแหล่งท่องเที่ยวและตลาด พนักงานต้อนรับวันที่ฉันไปค่อนข้างมีสีหน้าที่ไม่เป็นมิตร พูดจาไม่ดี แววต้าไม่ต้อนรับแขก สุดท้ายถ้าเป็นทริปประหยัด ฉันว่าที่นี่โอเคมากๆ ทั้งราคา สถานที่ตั้ง สภาพห้อง และถ้าฉันมีทริปประหยัดอีก ฉันไม่ลังเลที่จะกลับมาพักที่นี่

I got a small but cozy room. Overall it is clean and quite suitable for people like me who needs a comfortable overnight stay.

it's acceptable overall.

Good location and clean but the room is very small.

I have heard about such hotel rooms in Hong Kong but fortunately never had to use one before January 2025. Heavy travel Calendar/Lunar New Year season leads to wild price hikes by ripoff owners in HK - eg. high rate for closet with toilet in tiny corner washroom. Receptionist friendly, space (cannot be called a room) was clean though no waste basket. Probably would not be legal in Guangzhou. GZ far beats out HK style capitalism for fair rates & higher quality accommodation.

Na

We didnt like the small space for a shower, but overall it was safe, secure and easy to get around Hong Kong. We would stay here again.

Cheap and Small small small room.

Full of smell in the room and too small of bathroom. Was not cleaned like several long hairs

Without the small room everything is good 👍

We stayed in a twin room, the bathroom is a lot smaller than in the pictures and not as clean. We didn’t have any hand soap and asked reception and they didn’t have any to give us. The shower was dripping and the whole floor was soaked which is inconvenient. The room doesn’t have a fridge which you may not notice when booking the room. The curtains over the bed let in bit of a draft. But the bed was comfortable and at least the hotel has a lift.

The Worst Nightmare Small, cold and dirty room and smelly in bathroom Sex workers around the entrance of the hotel Killed a tiny bug on the bed Crashed it so hard couldn’t tell what was it Woke up in the middle of the night because of the coldness of room found a tiny bug at the end of my bed again. This time it went away still didn’t know it was roaches Bed Bug or something else Dared not laid on the bed again I sat on the tiny stool for the rest of night for 3 hours and checked out at 7 Just stayed In the room for less than six hours for a one night stay

An acceptable cheap option close to the Kowloon / West Kowloon stations and the Temple St. Night Market.

Having stayed in Kowloon some years before, I knew space would be at a premium, however my only real concerns were: 1) The plug socket was very loose 2) The wallpaper was peeling off the wall 3) The 'bathroom' consisted of a tiny basin where you couldn't wash your face fully; the shower was next to it, however when using it all the water disappeared down the plughole in the floor and all the splashing of the water just soaked everything including the toilet ehich was situated next to it. The only plus points were air conditioning in the room and a really comfortable bed! I was there for 4 nights with my 16 year old son and we paid £416 for the hotel which was definitely not worth the money: even half the cost would've been a liberty to be honest!

So amazing. This neighborhood is fantastic and the room was great, super small of course it's HK, and the bed was very clean and comfortable for a great night's sleep. The shower over the toilet is crazy to an American, but you just shut the door and take a super hot shower which is key, and it's all good. Would definitely stay again and recommend. Friendly tip: Eat as much as you can at the Temple Street restaurants and most definitely get a massage right by the hotel, great massage service.

Besides location is great, nothing impress me. Convenient to walk to few MTR and HSR statuon. In order to had a better comfort I had book family suite as the room is small. Poor and slow house keeping. Room condition need to upgrade. Poor ventilation cause the bath room stink. Room rate is on the high side. One lift for house keeping and hotel guest.
