He And She Guest House

We were three adults, a 7-year-old, and a 1-year-old. We booked a room with two living rooms and a 1.2-meter bed, which was more than enough for us. The room cost 400 yuan. If you ask the owner for a cleaner room, he'll arrange it. He's a very nice person with a friendly attitude. Our room was quite clean, with fresh, clean sheets. He said they provide daily cleaning. Some hotels simply state they don't have daily cleaning, so I avoid them altogether. I'm worried about the safety of the nearby Chungking Mansions, so I booked the Mirador Mansion. Anyway, I'm more careful, don't walk around alone, and keep your belongings safe. The two buildings are similar, but the Chungking Mansions is cheaper. I stayed on the 9th floor, which is too high for me. Although the room was small, as is typical in Hong Kong, it was clean and odorless. The air conditioning was adequate, though quite loud! The plug was compatible with the ones in China; the top two of the five-pin plugs were a bit loose, but the bottom three were tighter. The room had free Wi-Fi and fast internet. I looked it up on Ctrip in advance, but since it wasn't refundable and required negotiation with the hotel, I didn't book it. I'll confirm the booking once I find the address and a room becomes available midweek during the summer vacation. There was a note on the back door of the room after I found the address, and there was also a phone outside to call the host. After placing the booking on Ctrip, someone came and gave me a small note with the floor, room number, and password. It's a large room divided into many small compartments, so the outer door has a password lock. I didn't leave a deposit, and I could check out before 11:00 the next day. It's very close to the Avenue of Stars, about a ten-minute walk. Don't ask for directions; it's more troublesome. Just use Google Maps, which has Street View. Don't use Amap, which is less accurate; Google is much better! You can buy a data plan in advance from a certain JD.com app. 2GB a day is only a few yuan, and you can renew it for 5 yuan per GB, which is also very cheap. It's all high-speed data. Telecom's plan costs 25 yuan and only gives 400MB of high-speed data, which is not enough for navigation. Be sure to plan your trip in advance.

The location is good, but it's a mess in the building. The room smells too bad, and the window of another room leaks air. Checking in also requires going from upstairs to downstairs. Be careful when booking a room.
