The hype
Travelers love the MTR proximity and cheap rates but are divided on whether the market location is 'authentic' or 'disgusting'.

Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The iconic 'Ding Ding' tram runs literally through the market at the hotel's doorstep
- Incredible access to North Point's legendary street food scene
- Dirt-cheap rates for a room with a private bathroom in Hong Kong
Snel Overzicht: A budget crash pad sitting directly inside a chaotic, smelly, fascinating wet market—bring earplugs and lower your hygiene standards.
Beoordeeld door @wifeynext_door: I booked this for just 360 HKD expecting a shoebox, but got upgraded to a massive triple room! The view is terrible (literally a wall), but for this price and space in Hong Kong, it's an absolute steal for budget travelers.

Reality check
Rooms are significantly smaller than they appear in photos (approx. 215 sq ft) and wear-and-tear is visible everywhere.
- You are a street photographer chasing that 'Blade Runner' aesthetic
- You plan to spend 14 hours a day exploring and just need a bed
- You are on a strict budget but refuse to stay in a hostel
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
5.8
- Housekeeping: Daily service is performed, but often rushed. Expect missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Functional but dated. Grout often shows discoloration; shower curtains can be musty.
- Maintenance: High wear and tear. Peeling wallpaper and scuffed furniture are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Towels can be thin and scratchy. Sheets are usually clean but check for stains.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of the wet market (fish/meat). Rooms can smell musty or of old smoke.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the swimming pool open?
No. Recent reports confirm the rooftop pool and shuttle bus are temporarily closed until further notice.
Does the hotel smell like fish?
Yes. The lobby entrance is in the middle of Chun Yeung Street wet market. The smell can linger in the lobby and lower floor hallways.
Is it close to the MTR?
Yes, North Point MTR Station (Exit A2) is a 5-6 minute walk, but you have to navigate the crowded market street.
Are there bed bugs?
Reports are mixed. While not an infestation, isolated reviews mention stains and bites. Inspect your mattress immediately upon arrival.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not. If purchased, it's a basic buffet at First Café. Most guests recommend eating at local cafes nearby instead.
Can I store luggage?
Yes, concierge can store luggage, but some guests report being charged a fee per bag if not checking in immediately.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Don't take a taxi directly to the door during market hours (8 AM - 7 PM); the driver will refuse to enter the street. Get dropped at King's Road and walk.
- ✨
The tram ride through Chun Yeung Street is one of the best photo ops in HK—capture it from the second deck of the tram, not just from the street.
- ✨
Use the side entrance if the main market entrance is too crowded/smelly (ask staff for directions).

💡The air conditioning is powerful but can be moldy; check the vents.
💡You can buy the freshest fruit in Hong Kong literally 10 feet from the front desk.
