Marrigold Hostel

Its ok

The room had a really nice new renovation, it was clean, quiet, and tons of delicious indian and Pakistani food downstairs. The staff were friendly and helpful. The elevator broke on the last day holding people up for over an hour and the check in was kept until 6 even though it was supposed to be at one due to a malfunction in the room. I honestly didnt mind about the elevator and room malfunctions because it was in such a good area with so much to do and see while they kept my luggage in a safe holding area for me. I'll definitely be back and I will miss all of the cheap delicious indian food.

The location of the hostel is great as this is right in the central business district however inside the building doesn't feel like you are still in the CBD. The building is stuffy and so crowded. The pictures do not in any way represent the true facilities. There is literally no space in the room to place luggage or even walk around the room. Maybe my expectations were too high for this place. I had to forego the booking and booked another place which was much better and plenty of space. This was one of my worst bookings in my travelling life. I would never wish anyone to go through such.

Very small room

I booked this for a friend for a 12 night stay based on its high review rating.Upon arrival had to ask them remake bed as sheets and pillow cases dirty.She said TV never worked whole stay. Aircon broke after first day and took a week to repair after many requests. She got told its only a cheap room so get what you get for that money kind of thing. She also warned females that night manager on one occasion entered room without knocking using staff pass asking if she wanted join him in drinks. She was most shocked by this and felt bit unsafe.

Marrigold Hostel is located in Chungking Mansion, that has the best location for a traveler. It is near MTR stations, with local restaurants and fast food chains nearby like Jollibee and Mcdo. Price is cheap like the rest of the hostels in Chungking Mansions so don't expect it to be spacious. Just a typical clean place to sleep and store your luggages. But what I don't like with Marrigold is being transferred from their main hostel (Marrigold) to other affiliated hostels bec they already gave your booking to someone else. How could they give you that inconvenience when you already paid for your room!!! These other hostels that they will be transferring you to could possibly be in another block that may require you to take stairs coz the elevator doesnt reach your floor level. It could possibly be in the same block but on a different floor that could also mean it belongs to a different elevator. So you have to go to the ground level and queue with the rest of the people for the elevator. Just a suggestion to the Marrigold admin, if we book and pay for your hostel (which i dont plan of doing again) let us stay there coz that's what we've paid for. Don't let us stay to another hostel that doesnt have a frontdesk coz not anyone can use their cellphone to call your frontdesk (from another hostel) if we need something, or when we need to check in or check out.

Although building N lift is really bxy but Staffs are really kind n Worth for money..!!

The location of Marrigold Hostel is ideal for tourist and small business people. Marrigold is price competitive and the staff is unbeatable.

the elevetor can only accomodate 8 persons, too small

It's a good hostel if you're on a budget. You'll get what you paid for. Nice staff very accomodating. Not so clean but you can rest well after your tiring day. It's just so creepy in your way to the hostel because of the indians on your way to the property & very long line at the elevator. But all in all we had a good stay.

Hair dryer is not functional, but the room is good. Bed is comfy but the comfort room is a little bit small. Overall our stay is okay.

Definitely not for everyone, tiny rooms but such is HK. Lovely staff, elevator ride might find yourself sharing with a few pots of curry to be served in one of the low budget restaurants/caffees bellow. Extreme amount of different nationalities working/hawking in that emediate area however walk a block in either direction and your right in the thick ov HK/Kowloon. It is what it is "hostel " deffo get what you pay for.

wonderful staff. this is my second time staying here. they first time they saved my life, seriously

Pros -The room was ok for the price. -The location was great. very accessible to transportation. Cons -The door knob on our bathroom is broken. -The lining up on the elevator was horrible.

The staff was amazing. You did have to ask for them to change the sheets and make the bed. Sometimes they forgot to do so. The main thing about the sheets are, the cover is too thin, I was either too hot by turning down the A/C or too cold. I couldn't get comfortable. Instead of using just a duvet, they need a comforter inside the duvet. The staff was extremely friendly. If you don't know about hotels in Chungking, they are all extremely small. The main I look for a hotel is the cleanliness. The hotel was very clean. I felt comfortable walking barefoot at the Marrigold. Some of the hotels in Chungking are very dirty.

Amazing trip once again

Very dirty, small and stinky place..wouldn't come back here. The pictures on advertisement look nice but when we get to the hotel, it was disgusting!

Great location, great breakfast...! I am very happy to stay here!!

Our stay was amazing. 3 impt factors was meet. Price, cleanliness and safety.. added was the friendly owner and pinay staff . Personal ref per room, free mineral water with true hot and cold dispenser. Clean towers and sheets. Strong hot shower. More spacious toilet than others. Complete free shampoo soap hand soap microvave and big ref outside.

A great place to stay in Hong Kong. Very central and easy to use transport. While a slight inconvenience the renovations to the lobby were being conducted very well and mindful of guests.
