  Heaven in your mouth

  25 Aug 2019

  Best steak I’ve ever had, I ate at several steak houses in Las Vegas but this topped them all. The cowboy ribeye is the way to go. Don’t spend your money on more than one side you won’t have room for it all. And the price was half of what I spent at other places. If your in Las Vegas this is a must eat at establishment. The staff was amazingly efficient and and friendly.

  Scamming Travelers Most Of The Time

  03 Apr 2019

  My parents booked this place for the family and upon checking transportation options in Google Maps, I realized that this place has very very bad reviews. People getting scammed, elevators were so small, rooms were like army barracks if not worse, and the price is more expensive than most places in Hong Kong. Worst of it all, I could not cancel it because of the policy which states that there are cancellation charges, that is approximately half of the booking fees. The cancellation period was pretty short.So I came to Hong Kong, prepared with GoPro Camera and voice recorder. When I reached the block, it is as other reviews stated. Lousy elevators with crowds waiting for it. I guess taking the stairs would be difficult since some hostels are at the 15th Floor.Once I reached the correct floor, I started recording. A guy, probably African, who we showed our Booking Confirmation on paper, said that our credit card has issues, exactly just like other reviews. According to him which I have already foreseen, he said that because of the card issues, there are no more rooms available and that he will help to ask around for rooms.He came back and said luckily there are rooms. However, it costs more and we have to pay in cash. We had no choice since we came at night. Nevertheless, I asked for a receipt but they are unable to give me one. Smart. Because hotel websites require proof of purchase/receipts in order for customers to dispute. Even if I tried to give a bad review at the booking website, They either deleted, renamed or canceled your booking. The most interesting thing is that before leaving, another dude requested that we leave good reviews online so that he will refund part of the fees, he is willing to refund half of it even. That explains why the hostel has a majority of good reviews on the booking website.We gladly answered No to him and hoped others would not stay in any hostel in Chung King Mansions. You are better off booking a hotel that is not in Tsim Sha Shui because most hotels are either too small or just not worth it to stay in. At least, just avoid Chung King Mansions at all costs.To the Manager: You may not be able to find my name in the Log Book and that's fine since it is not under my name, but my Mother's.

  Las Vegas Guest House

  18 Jan 2018

  Chung King Mansion seems a little bit dodgy at first and queues for the small lift are a nightmare, the rooms are also small but relatively clean.I first booked a single room then decided it would be too small so immediately cancelled and booked a double. I was then charged for both rooms so beware of making the same mistake.

  Our experience was ok. Found it a bit difficult to find the right place to check in and find manager but we got there in the end. There was a lot of other pretty normal travellers around so it looked quite popular and ok. There were a a few people arguing around. The guesthouse is situated in a market mall . Lot of middle eastern and African in the mall -they were fine.Don’t expect much for your dollar. I actually wish I stayed another day or so because other hotels around were a rip off. If you are not staying in the room much only sleeping at night then it’s fine. It had a TV and fridge, window, AC in the room which was a pleasant surprise ! Slept like a baby 👍🏼
