Hotel Review: Golden Crown Guest House, Hongkong

The plan where to stay in Hongkong was this: 

  • Since we're arriving in Hongkong on January 1, we have to stay in a hostel/hotel/house for 1 night.
  • On January 2, we'll be staying at Hollywood Hotel inside Disneyland. There, we will be having a buffet to celebrate my niece's birthday.
  • On January 3 to 6, we'll need to stay at different hostel/hotel.

We have to look for affordable but nice hostel for Jan 1, 3 to 6 stay. And I have found  Golden Crown Guest House.


Why We Chose this Hostel?

  • The price is so affordable.
  • They've got good reviews on TripAdvisor.com.
  • My friend has already checked in to this hostel. According to her, this hostel is okay.

Reservation

  • I booked directly to the hotel via their website.

Price

  • We availed the Superior Quadruple (2 double beds).
  • The Superior Quadruple costs HKD 650 for ordinary days. We paid HKD 700 since it's peak season.
  • Downpayment is  HKD 300. I paid via Visa Credit Card.

Location

  • 5/F Golden Crown Court, 66-70 Nathan Road, TsimShaTsui, HongKong
  • To get there, here are the complete details.

Extra Service

  • Once you've already checked out, you can still leave your luggages for HKD 20.00 per luggage.


My Review

  • The room looked new and smelled fresh and clean.
  • With private toilet.
  • Towels were white and clean but there were no toothbrush and toothpaste provided.
  • Body wash and shampoo were provided. We're having a hard time pressing the container of the body wash though.
  • There was a provision for cups, hot and cold drinking water.
  • With free WIFI inside the room
  • TV channels were all Chinese channels
  • No traffic in the elevator
  • Location-wise, it's just a minute away to the MTR station
  • Their website is very user-friendly and informative
  • Great value for money

Do I need to say more for the final verdict? Hehe... Overall, I recommend this hostel if you're on a tight budget. Again, this hostel is nice and clean, and convenient since it is very close to MTR station. If I would visit Hongkong again, I would definitely stay in this hostel once more.

    Hello Aliah... I'm not sure about the difference between the superior quad and the regular one kasi I wasn't able to look at the regular. Tapos, I never asked din 'coz I thought, the difference in price is not that high naman. So, I went for the superior. We put the bags/luggages under the bed. There were no closets - just a small center table and a ledge table at the side. Hope this helps. ;)

    hi Katrina! Not that close to Disneyland but is very near (just a minute away) to MTR station. Since Golden Crown is located at Tsim Sha Tsui, you are in the center of shopping haven. Outlets of branded products abound.

    Hello dhine! I'm trying to remember. Hehe... Hhmm...

    1. I made a reservation through their website. They confirmed my reservation via email.

    2. Paid the down payment by visa card thru Paypal. No need for Paypal account. Here's the tutorial, complete with screenshots -> http://www.goldencrownhk.com/hotels_hong_kong/paypal.


    Hope this helps! God bless...
