The location of the hostel is great as this is right in the central business district however inside the building doesn't feel like you are still in the CBD. The building is stuffy and so crowded. The pictures do not in any way represent the true facilities. There is literally no space in the room to place luggage or even walk around the room. Maybe my expectations were too high for this place. I had to forego the booking and booked another place which was much better and plenty of space. This was one of my worst bookings in my travelling life. I would never wish anyone to go through such.

Very small room

I booked this for a friend for a 12 night stay based on its high review rating.Upon arrival had to ask them remake bed as sheets and pillow cases dirty.She said TV never worked whole stay. Aircon broke after first day and took a week to repair after many requests. She got told its only a cheap room so get what you get for that money kind of thing. She also warned females that night manager on one occasion entered room without knocking using staff pass asking if she wanted join him in drinks. She was most shocked by this and felt bit unsafe.

Marrigold Hostel is located in Chungking Mansion, that has the best location for a traveler. It is near MTR stations, with local restaurants and fast food chains nearby like Jollibee and Mcdo.Price is cheap like the rest of the hostels in Chungking Mansions so don't expect it to be spacious. Just a typical clean place to sleep and store your luggages. But what I don't like with Marrigold is being transferred from their main hostel (Marrigold) to other affiliated hostels bec they already gave your booking to someone else. How could they give you that inconvenience when you already paid for your room!!! These other hostels that they will be transferring you to could possibly be in another block that may require you to take stairs coz the elevator doesnt reach your floor level. It could possibly be in the same block but on a different floor that could also mean it belongs to a different elevator. So you have to go to the ground level and queue with the rest of the people for the elevator. Just a suggestion to the Marrigold admin, if we book and pay for your hostel (which i dont plan of doing again) let us stay there coz that's what we've paid for. Don't let us stay to another hostel that doesnt have a frontdesk coz not anyone can use their cellphone to call your frontdesk (from another hostel) if we need something, or when we need to check in or check out.
