Rent-a-Room Hong Kong - Kowloon

a couple owns this, not really a hotel, rather rooming house, I guess you would call it,....the wife cleans the the room ,she fine, but watch the husband he's shifty, watch your money, the only thing good here is the wife and location......there is so many other places to stay for the same price and soooooo better quality and area......

The staffs were very friendly. Nice location, very convenient to access everywhere.

The hotel was in a good location, and was in walking distance of many tourist attractions. The price for this hotel is middle of the road, higher than a basic hostel but cheaper than most hotels. This hotel is comfortable for student/single travelers as it size is similar to what you would find on a cruise ship. You will have to place your bag underneath […] the bed to give yourself walking room. Security: Double locking doors at the end of each hallway that lead to the outside. A security guard is on duty near the main street entrance + security cameras monitor the property. Read more

I thought the hotel a little difficult to find. There is no sign indicating the name of the hotel from the street. Look for 7-8 Tak Shing street. I find Hong Kong to be an expensive city so the rate for a stay here is quite reasonable. The hotel was quite suitable for me as I stayed for only one night. I recommend the hotel for short stays but not for […] long ones. The hotel is close to a stop at which you can get a bus that takes you directly to the airport, exit the hotel, turn right, walk to the next intersection then turn right again and walk for about a minute.

Overall the hotel has a good value for its price. We were both students, one of us had lived in Hong Kong before. He felt that this room was equivalent to previous residential accomindations he had when living in Hong Kong and that the price was quite fair. I would recommend this hotel, or stay here again if I am in Hong Kong on another week-long s […] tay. Read more

I would not recommend this room for rent to any body

For a few more dollars, upgrade to a nicer hotel. The rooms are incredibly small, and our bathroom was not entirely clean. The bed was old and uncomfortable. With two people and our luggage, there was barely room to move around.

First, I need to say I am not a picky traveler. I have stayed at 5 star hotels in Hong Kong but I have also stayed at budget hotels (hostels) to save some money. Rent a Room is like a expensive hostel, the rooms are super tiny with old furniture, the toilet tiles were broken or missing, the room did not have a cooking facility as advertised and as it […] was winter when I visited, the room was cold with no heating. I have stayed at better hostels in Chungking for less than 1/3 of the cost. The worst part was that they were refurbishing the floor above our room, and they were drilling the concrete from 9 to 5 and the noise was unbearable. Staff offered to change the room but you could hear the drill all over the hotel and the other problems would not be solved. DO NOT STAY HERE! Read more

First, this place is in an apartment complex. If your taxi driver is confused about the location just say you need to go to the Prudential Hotel, Rent a Room Hong Kong is just a short walk down the street. Second, this is a bed in a clean place, nothing more. Good for a night while in transit or something. But it is in a good neighborhood with lots […] around and very convenient to public transportation. Read more

For the budget traveler to HK this is your place. Located in the heart of TST near the Jordan Street neighborhood, this little hotel is a good find. They tell me it has 90 rooms, each floor has about 10 rooms in a shared hallway. My room was small but clean. I had never had a bathroom where the sink, toilet and shower all share the same space. They […] tell me this is common in HK, well it works you just have to learn to adjust. The hotel is located on Tak Hing Street. The street has several restaurants just feet away from the hotel entrance. Of course this is HK so there are restaurants everywhere. At night, despite the density of the neighborhood, it was pretty quite. The bottom line, if your on a tight budget for your HK visit, this is a nice choice. If you can afford more I would look elsewhere. Read more

This is an affordable and good location hotel. Convenience and clean. The staffs are very friendly. Very satisfied for what I pay for it. I will stay there again!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Rent-a-room HK is in an alley off an alley, which made it a bit tough to find the first time. Fortunately, all the cab drivers seem to know where the street is, so if you're persistent you'll get there! The rooms are typical Chinese size (no extra space anywhere!), but very clean and well outfitted – I was surprised to find AC, a fridge, a small TV, […] a phone, a clock radio, a safe, and decently fast internet in both rooms in which I've stayed. The staff are great, and check-in/out are a breeze. The hallways were quiet, which is a rarity in my experience in China. There are loads of restaurants and shopping nearby. MTR and bus-stops are within walking distance. The Kowloon ferry is about a 10 minute taxi ride away. Overall, I wondered at first if I had made a mistake in booking this place, but now that I know where it is I would totally stay there again because it's clean, comfortable enough, cheap, well located, and has great staff. Oh, and bring your own towel because they aren't supplied! Read more

I was very surprised to find this place. It is entirely misrepresented- these are Hong Kong apartments and not a hotel: The name should reflect that as "Rent A Room" sounds kind of dubious. It could be something like "Kowloon Apartment Hotel". It is tricky to find but the street is very short so just remember the address and once you enter the portal […] someone will guide you to the door. The staff was exceptionally nice and even the local residents were very kind and interesting. The room was spotless and considering that you are standing on some of the most valuable real estate on the planet it is an outstanding deal. Everything, and I mean everything is close by. This will always be my first choice in Hong Kong. If your plane is arriving late that may be a problem so best to check ahead of time for that situation. This was actually one of the best experiences of a long trip because you are dealing with a family business and they intend to treat everyone well. Read more

I booked a room at short notice via hotels.com during an emergency detour to HK to get a Chinese visa. The place is a little difficult to find (look for the "Knight" building which does have the correct road number on it) however the reception is well staffed and talked me in. My single room was incredibly clean, had working wifi, a heater for winter […] (and drying clothes), kettle. For the price in Kowloon, can't complain. I ended up booking a second room whilst waiting for my visa to come thru which was a little cheaper to book online than on site but still reasonable for a double room due to availability. Read more

If you need a good location, this convenient small hotel. Well, is not a exactly a hotel, is more like a small and old apartment complex, yes ir has very small rooms, toilet and shower is in the same space, but if you need a clean place to sleep, not expensive, then this place is OK. The place needs maintenance...yes, but is clean. Personal very friendly. […] Has very old TV's. Overall the place is fine and serves the purpose. Bus stop to the international airport and other destinations is very near, train station is also very close by, many places to go check out nearby. If I need to go back to HK, with no family and do not want to pay much in a room to stay, this is an excellent option. Read more

Great location in Kowloon. 1 block to metro, airport shuttle bus, and nearby restraunts. This was a great neighborhood for shopping too. I would stay here again. If you are looking for a spacious room this may not be the place for you, it is very small but it's safe and clean and near all the action.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I do not feel I received my moneys worth in comfort room was somewhat isolated and very small bed was uncomfortable. I may be a little reluctant to recommend to a friend without explaining the conditions there.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Room is rather small but okay for one person. Walking distance to Temple Market, Women's market etc. Bus to Airport a block away. Yes, I would definitely stay again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Paul went out of his way to make sure that i was comfortable. Although the room was small, it was managable for a couple of days before my trip to Taiiwan. The location is on a side street. I felt safe walking by myself. It was close to everthing. I would stay their again.

First time traveling to Hong Kong and I didn't have much to spend on hotel. Decided to give this hotel a shot but will NEVER go back again. If you want to be in Federal Prison for a few days, go ahead and stay here. I have to admit that the room I stayed in was clean, but so is the Federal Prison. The air condition was dripping water over my pillow […] and the bathroom is literally a hole in the wall. DO NOT recommend this to any one, save a bit more money and stay in the Eaton or Nathan Hotel. Read more

It's the cheapest place I found in the best location so I booked it. In actuality it was pretty good. The rooms are real small, but they are clean, get cleaned everyday, and the staff can do your laundry. I thought it was perfect for what I needed. The only complaint I had is the internet was spotty. It would go in and out the first two days I stayed […] there and then got better for some reason. Read more

My friend and I needed a place to sleep for cheap. This was PERFECT! Near a 7/11 to get little things and about 2 min away from the MTR Station. People were really nice and the location was perfect. If I go back to Hong Kong, I will def. stay there.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Really good budget option in the area. Mr Danny at the reception was nice and very helpful.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This place being called a hotel is kind of a stretch, because I would most likely refer to it as a guesthouse. The rooms are small, simple, and mine had the combo bathroom/shower with a small water heater mounted to the wall. The water heater will only last you about 5 minutes, so I recommend wetting yourself, turning it off, washing your hair, rinsing […] it, turning it off, etc. etc. Honestly this place is nothing special, but hotels in Hong Kong are ridiculously expensive and this place is super reasonable. You get a bed, fridge, cute little TV, table, chair, and that's it. Nearby is a 7-11, some restaurants, and Nathan street which is one of the busiest drags in Hong Kong. If you plan on only spending a few hours a day and sleeping here, it's the right place and in the perfect location. If you want to lounge in style and not leave your room for a week, spend 700 dollars a night and stay in the Peninsula or the Westin. You will get lost finding this place, but you'll honestly get lost trying to find anything in Hong Kong. When you find Tak Hing street, look for the alley that's labeled "Knight Gardens" and walk in, up the stairs, and ask the security guard in the little house there where the lobby is. Staff was very friendly to me and there's computers in the lobby use since they don't have wifi in the rooms. They also have wifi in the lobby so you can bring your laptop in and use it. If you're in Hong Kong, I also recommend buying an Octopus card. It's their transit card that can also be used as a pre-paid debit card at many shops, newsstands, and 7-11s. You can buy one at any transit station and also recharge it there. When you're done with your visit, you get all your money back minus $7HKD. Best idea ever. Read more

I was really afraid about hostels in HK, because people had told me that they use to be small and not clean, but this one was the opposite. The room was quite big and clean! I like it very much!

Very convenient location - about 1 min. walk from MTR Jordan station and 5 min. walk from Temple St. Night Market. Single rooms are very cozy and clean, just enough to park for the night and sleep. Can only recommend if you're very tight on budget or don't mind this type of arrangement. Suggest checking and contacting other budget hotels in Yau Ma Tei […] area - cost will be approx. 25% more per night, but you will get much more room and "livability." Or if budget constrains, there are other guesthouses in the same neighborhood with similar single rooms of the same size, amenities, comforts, etc. It's a case of buyer beware. Read more

This guest house is very good value for money and is conveniently located in the center of Kowloon. The staff are friendly, helpful and some of them speak English. A weak point for me was the size of the room and bathroom. Although they managed to squeeze in everything you need including a safe, a kitchen sink and a table, calling it a double room stretches […] the meaning of the word "double" and if you are a tall person or there are two of you, you might be in for some uncomfortable nights.

A little disappointed with room and bed. I booked a single room with 2 double beds. The bed is like a big single bed not a double bed. The width of the bed is exactly the length of two pillows side by side no additional space . No space to turn about. There is no signboard showing Rent a Room Hotel . Surrounding neighborhood is good very near to all […] the popular shopping. Read more

Very clean and affordable room. Not very spacious and the air conditioning was rather loud, but it is in a very convenient location (even though the hotel itself is rather difficult to find).

It was very central, just a street away from Nathan Rd. Service was excellent. The only thing lacking was more tourist maps and information to assist us to get to the attraction of HK. I was not advised that there was Jack-hammering from 9am every morning, and HK opens late nights, so we were out everynight. We couldn't sleep in as it was right next […] door, that made the experience unpleasant. Read more

Very good location near Jordan station (couple of minutes walk). Small rooms that used to be flats. A bit hard to find because there are no big signs and it is located in an apartment building.

Unless you are in a bind, I don't recommend this hostel. Small rooms (HKG standards), unless one wanted to pay outreageious amount of $$ for a bed and a shower! Extremely hard mattress, thin walls and even though smoking is prohibited, there were still smokers and on my floor and the smoke, needless to say, permeates the walls and into my room. I was […] moved to the 8th floor where the monthly rental rooms were and that seemed to take care of the problem. The "sewage" smell though was still very strong in the bathroom and I had to turn the bathroom exhaust fan on at all times when I was in the room. There was also a strong smell of mold in the room. Actually saw mold growing in the corners where walls joined The staff was very friendly, helpful and did their best to provide good service. WIFI didn't work in my room so had to take my laptop to the office to use it; which totally defeated the entire purpose of taking the computer with me during this trip. I thought I'd have the comfort of using the Internet in the comfort of my room. Location was good. MTR was just across the street. Restaurants abound. Close to all types of shopping, both on Nathan Road and Jordan Road. Overall, this would be OK if you are in a bind and stay just a few nights; otherwise I suggest other locations. The nightly rate at "high season" was definitely not cheap but the value is not there. Read more
