Simon is excellent contact. Dependable and cares about patrons and hostel. Room was very small, just 2 beds for 3 people. It was clean, recently renovated, keycard access to the room and hostel. Private bathroom, towels, hot water heater, cups, towel rack, air conditioner, tv, dvd player, fans, etc. Would recommend to any seasoned hostel stayer looking for something private, small, inexpensive, and secure. Research Chungking Mansion first.close

Chungking Mansion is honestly the biggest dump I've ever been in. If you're willing to look past the horribleness that is Chungking Mansion and just need a well-kept, cheap place that serves as a place to crash at night, then this hostel is great. But if you want more from your hostel (like a room that isn't ridiculously small), you might want to consider other options.close

However once you ride up the 4th elevator and enter Guangdong Guest House you immediately get a senssasion of comfort. We had the 3 bed Ensuite which worked out great for us. Simon has to be the nicest guy and very accomodating. He even allowed us for a very minimal charge to use his personal Laptop. Everyday we had a clean room and the hostel is in a great city location. With the metro nearby we would definately recommend this place and would come back again.close

It was a nice break from all the dorms and hostels and had a TV and DVD which was a big plus for a change.close

A great place to stay, follow Mr Simons instructions and you will have no problems. Rooms are not as small as some of the other reviews make out, put your luggage under the bed and you will be fine. The cleanest hostel I have ever stayed in.

He is meticulous about keeping them clean, incredibly helpful and friendly, and the location is close to everything just a 5 minute walk to the star ferry or upscale designer shopping neighbourhood. A great VALUE hostel. The only thing that is not favourable to us is the Chunking Mansion building is so dodgy, but again if you can just look the other way until you get upstairs to the spotless hostel then you got a GREAT place to stay.close
