Mini Central

Great location you get what you pay for

Great location great value

The Central Mini Hotel is a very inexpensive hotel with mini rooms. We are talking Spartan rooms....the bare necessities are met but for $50 to $65 USD you will get a room with a twin bed, two little pillows, free wifi, a little LED TV, a tiny bathroom with a toilet and a shower. They have toilet paper. There is a soap dispensary in the shower. Bring your own tooth brush and towel. Theto wel they give you is the thinnest bath towel ever and is a disposable towel, about the size of a pillow case. You can kind of dry off. The lobby is big and comfortable and spacious. It's at the top of a hill, in the middle of hilly central. The old correspondent's club is next to it, and the reason I stayed here was because I came over from Macau to apply for a new passport at the United States Consulate, which is about 6 minutes away on foot. The peak tram, if you want to go to the top of Victoria Peak, is about 10 minutes from the hotel, as is the zoo and botanical garden. There are many restaurants and shops down the hill...I dined at the Outback Steakhouse, about 5 minutes down the Ice House Road. For the price, you get what you pay for. I give it an okay rating but would not want to stay for more than one night.

Good location but requires long walk up the stairs, very small room, AC was leaking but staff fixed it right away

Let’s start by saying what you see in pictures is not what you get! Yes rooms are small but I expect that in Asian hotels. What was a bad was. The bed is a harder than a rock! The room smelled so bad! For a towel you get a packed car drying towel you buy at a car wash place! Thin chip and rips! Next mold in shower! Stains on walls.

Extremely small rooms, very claustrophobic!

Nothing special. Nothing bad. You get what you pay for.

Unhygienic

Worst place

You can’t expect too much for the price that you pay. The room was really small. Couldn’t even open my luggage there. The bathroom was also really small and the sink leaked. The smell in the bathroom was also questionable. They do have an elevator in the building which was helpful. There was an AC but didn’t cool much leaving the room with a stuffy air. The staff was helpful and they can handle Cantonese and English. There was a water fountain at the lobby to fill up your water bottles. The lobby is cute and spacious. Location wise it is pretty convenient as you are right at the Central location and less than 10 min walk from the Central train station. The only caveat is that the quickest way to the train station also requires taking some very long and steep stairs to get there. Will definitely get your leg workout! The hotel is really close to lan kwai Fei street so great for tourists to hang out.

Place is way older than the pictures show. Staff was very good but the facility is more of a hostel than a hotel

The shops and the subways are nearby, staff were friendly, they can speak Cantonese and English, room is clean and shower has hot water. However, the size of the room is really mini just like the name of the hotel.

Auto check-in machine could not work after multiple tries. Room was missing bath towel when checked-in.

They don't provide towels. You have to ask and they only gave you paper towels.

Tiny room with clear, big windows in the bathroom and toilet! At the top of a very steep hill. Room never cleaned. Was told to go to reception to ask for more toilet paper. Probably ok for students on a budget looking to rough it for an experience.

Great hotel that is very close to the Central MRT station (exit D is the closest to the hotel), just 2 to 3 minute walk. Note that the hotel is at the top of a hill and so there are about 50 pretty steep steps to climb when using the Metro. I'm sure there's a more accessible route but this was the quickest. Rooms are a little tired and showing their age, but room was clean on arrival, and bed sheets were spotless. Bed was very hard, but comfortable, and pillows were quite soft. I would recommend taking your own towel with you as only a disposable towel is provided and this is barely fit for purpose. There was a kettle and hair dryer provided, and in Hong Kong you can drink the tap water so a nice cuppa is easily available. Note that no tea or coffee is provided in the room. Rooms are small, but I expected this when booking, but some may be surprised. For the price, this is a great hotel. Finally rooms are air-conditioned with temperature controls in each room.

Ok. need to clean bed.

The hotel is situated right in the heart of Central, where culture, history, foods and shops converge. The price was lower compared to other nearby hotels considering the location. However I have a few things to note: 1) the room was extremely small with the bed nearly occupation 85-90% of the room space. There were no shelve or closet or table to put your stuff. So basically we needed to take what we needed out of suitcases and placed them on top of them. (2) bathroom was small and was somewhat moldy and drainage was average. The sink was small like an iPad size. There were no cloth towels to provide, they however offered disposable paper towels everyday. Therefore we went out to buy two big towels for the whole trip. (3) there are no window views, they boarded up the two windows likely to save curtains, the only light we had was from the lamp. (4) the walls are thin so you can basically hear the conversations next door and people were talking like 3am in the morning, bring your ear plugs the best kind. (5) the stuff are average helpful there was no hotel etiquette or concierge service so just make sure your expectations. The other good things are that there was self-serving laundry service at the roof top, which had a great view outside. The lobby was cute and people can hang out there since rooms are small to hang. Overall you pay (low) for what you get. So be informed of the amenities before booking. Thank you mini Central.
