Maple Inn(Tsim Sha Tsui Store C2 EXIT)

The property boasts consistently high cleanliness standards and a convenient location near major attractions and public transport.

This is one of the hardest places to review. Lots of good AND lots of bad. The good: the price (it’s still very expensive by mainland standards, but a good deal by HK standards). The location — amazing and so convenient. Literally steps away from Tsim Sha Tsui metro station! The service — the woman who appears to own the hotel as well as the cleaning ladies were all very helpful and offered great service. The room offered no major cleanliness red flags and although small, was big enough to not feel too cramped and had decent storage space. The bad: The bathroom had absolutely zero dry wet separation (I recognize this is normal among budget hotels in Asia, but still falls into the bad category). There was a man who worked there who — although he was nice to me — screamed at a customer who locked herself in her room and even kicked on her door aggressively. This was very unsettling. Also — my room had a very crappy curtain shade, with a window facing the hallway, making me feel like I was in a hospital room. The light in the hallway is on 24/7 so the room was always quite bright even at night. This severely disrupted my sleep schedule. There was always a weird smell in the room (hard to describe) but it wasn’t that bad. Due to how humid it was, the bedsheets always felt slightly wet, even if freshly changed, and I saw a few bugs in the room but not that concerning. The laundry machines were convenient to use overall but the clothes had a slight weird smell after using it. There were always people in the area making noises and kids running around, including one naked. It was difficult to speak to the staff without speaking Mandarin Chinese. Also, just to note that this is not a typical hotel, it is like a bunch of small apartments with a common space within a floor of a big building. A very strange and liminal space. I have to say, I both love and hate this place. It may be one of the most liminal spaces in Hong Kong.

Kinda small, but its location is superb comparing its price. The hotel is located on the building, hard to find at the first time. The room is clean
