This has been a horrible experience. First, when I arrived at 3 pm, the guy at the reception said they there was a problem with the room and that it's not ready! He said I should return at six pm, but he offered to store my luggage. When I got back at around 7:30 pm, he told me to wait, made a few calls and sent me to the 7 floor, to completely another guesthouse, Paylessi or something like that!
The "room" that I got was nothing like the ones in the pictures, it was more like a toilet with bed. The toilet bowl's been obviously leaking for a while and the entire room was beyond humid, moist. So much so that the clothes in my closed suitcase were wet after being in the room for a couple of hours. There were things under the bed and it looked like a storage room. As it was the New Year's Eve, I didn't want to argue, I just went out and I wasn't even planing on sleeping that night. However, I got back at 5 am and I wanted to sleep for at least an hour but it was impossible because of the humidity, after 10 minutes, I would start coughing, so I left the room. I checked on the trip, they were still renting out rooms for that day, even though they obviously overbooked it.
I understand that people need to budget, but this is not an acceptable option for anyone who has any kind of standard or dignity. Generally, those guys in Chung King seem to be working together and they just want to scam you "my brother"/"my friend". Needless to say, I'm never coming back again, and it is so much better to choose a location that is a bit more remote (HKG is really well connected), anything but this. P. S. The story about the elevator is also true - waited for 10 minutes always during the day,because there's only one small elevator for several huge floors.
