Dirty. Lots of hidden charges.
The rooms are super dirty. Please do not book. 1.I dont recommend you to stay here. Also, there are a lot of hidden charges. The published price is very different from the actual cost. Upon arrival, you'll be charged extra that will cost you even more than what you paid upon booking online. 2. Room type. The room we booked was different from the room presented on site. We ended up booking another room from another hostel. I don't want you to go through the same hassle as my friends did. Also, don't let the front desk guy fool you. Be careful. Travel with caution. Please dont book at all.

I didn't like everything. Especially, the staff named Rose. She was not accommodating and over pricing. Tho, there's one staff that you can properly approach with your concerns, it's the old lady. I didn't got the chance to know her name but she was so kind. The room that Rose gave us was not comfortable, not clean, and the bed is for one person only (we booked for 2 persons and 1 Kid). We stayed there for 4days but no one cleaned and no one changed our bed and pillow cases and no towels available after all of these Rose, charged us with service charge.

Don't fall for the cheap price, it's not even worth for it. Cannot be called as hostel either, extremely unhappy about the entire stay in this property. It's too small to be called as a room. No basis amenities in the room.

The picture was different from the actual room. The room is very untidy, aircon is not even working well. I was supposed to have a vacation but it was a nightmare! My key deposit was not even returned to me. I had rashes all over my body, their beddings are dirty!! They did not even provide me towels for my 4 nights!! They are a scam! My booking included 2 beds with CR but they told me I only booked the cheapest room without cr and asked me to pay a huge amount so that I can have my own cr! The hostel smells bad!! Please ban this hostel!!! Shame on this property!!

Uncomfortable stay
Please please please, this is not a good place to stay. We booked a 2 single beds with private bathroom and right when we were there they were giving us a single bed room with a common bathroom. We were explaining it to the receptionist but she was shhhing me saying "don't talk, don't talk, let me talk". She just kept on saying we paid for the room so it's okay but insist we have to pay more. We were tired, we were trying to argue but she wont listen. We had to pay HKD250 for service charge, HKD100 for room keycard deposit which was never refunded, and asking us to pay another HKD200 to upgrade the room to the one with private bathroom. It was really not a nice place to stay. When we entered the room, the was hideos and beyond comfortable. There was no bathroom door. The only thing that separates the bathroom to the bedroom is a small shower curtain that kept on falling off. We always had to secure the curtain everytime we have to use the bathroom. And when we took hot shower, the steam from the shower is all over the bedroom since there's no door. Even the floors are moist. No doormat from bathroom to bedroom and linens, good god the linens stink like afternoon sweat, as if it hasn't been washed. Then at 7am right when we were checking out to return the keycard, the reception was closed. Like where in the world can you find a hotel reception that is not 24/7 available?! We checked out ourselves, took the keycard with us, forget the HKD100 and promise to submit a feedback.

Worst hostel...UK HOSTEL!!!
That hostel is a nightmare!! After paying your booking online, they asked for other fees like taxes which already in my full fee. Daily cleaning but never happened! Another fee for inside bathroom but I booked with toilet. Insects in the room. No chairs or benches for waiting people. Leave your luggages but pay per bag.I paid another 500hkd unexpected fees but no choice I couldn't refund or cancel. The most part....VERY RUDE PEOPLE!!! No concern to customers!!! Dont let your clients not to use hotels.com because of those greedy businesses!!! Choose your clients too!! The worst hotel experience for me!! Never stay in that hostel again!!

Rude and horrible manager. Over charging.
3rd floor reception try charging u for non existant fees. I was only suppose to be pay cleaning fee of hk$25 upon arrival but the manager rudely asked for extra hk$70. Do not fall for this and refuse to pay. Check your confirmation email because some plcs do ask for $70 or $80 fees but mine clearly stated a $25 cleaning fee only. Small cockroaches in my room and a terrible bed.

Book this if you must!
Hotels in Hong Kong are outrageously expensive. Our previous booking arrangement fell through, so we resorted to this one. Talk about cramped and uncomfortable! The bed was too short for me, and my feet butted up against a wall, making sleep impossible. The Bathroom ($100 extra per night) had a shower in the same space, and leaked out into the main room, soaking our stuff until we blocked the leakage with towels. The room was rather dirty, and daily cleaning was haphazard, really no more than sweeping the floor. You get the idea. Book this if you must! To be fair, some of the staff were nice, and the location is pretty central. There are lots of great curry shops in Chungking Mansions.

The only nice thing is the location. Aircon not working i just use the fan. The room i booked online did not say no bathroom, i had to upgrade for 100hkd more to get a room with bathroom. Bed is hard , pillow and comforter are old and yellowish and ichy to use. No toiletries provided. I just my bag as pillow coz nobody answer the phone when i call to say my concern. Just stay there 1 day instead of 3.

Good Review for Uncle and Auntie of UK Hostel
We had booked at UK Hostel at their discounted offer and found it better than the other hostels we had booked before. The staff who was present at the time we arrived was courteous and so we called him "Uncle". He was accommodating with our requests and cheerful every time we pass by. To Uncle, thank you for the hospitality and also to Auntie who gave us a complimentary present courtesy of UK Hostel.

Dirty smelly extremely small room
Room was extremely small. Totally different from the picture shown. I booked a double room but inside was only 1 single bed size which they told me that's the size of a double room. If you weigh more than 70kg & taller than 170cm you definitely can't fit into their bed. No shower gel, no shampoo, dirty stained towel upon request, hot water only from time 9am-12nn & 9pm-12midnight. Room no window, smelly & tiny toilet, just like a prison cell. Smelly smoking & noisy guest lingering outside room, can't really sleep well.

Can't Blame The Money Lovers
Evening male receptionist very eager to make an extra buck. Had to spend 15 minutes over the phone to get help from booking agent. Finally no extra money paid. But was put into a lousy + smelly 2 bed room for the 1st night with no accessories. Requested to change to single room on 2nd day. Condition better, but without accessories. TV remote control doesn't work and never fixed.

UK DELUXE HOSTEL are CHEAT
I booked a single room for 24-25 September 2016. When I arrived, the lady collected a HK $100 deposit from me. Then she said the room I booked is spoilt. She showed me a mixed dormitory of 8 beds. I told her that was not what i booked. She said if i want a single room i need to add HK $150. On the pretext that she is going to change the bedsheet for me, she disappeared. I was left with a rude, abusive man who seem to be the caretaker. He said either you stay or get out. The girl had left and not contactable. At 9.30pm what choice do I have?

Average
It's a budget hotel, so don't expect 5 star service. Just like any other hotel of this type, if all you need a shower and a good rest then this will do you just fine. You also won't get much assistance from the foreign English-speaking staff; so stick with the friendlier locals and try not to take anything personal if you don't plan to be there long.
