      I booked 7 n in private room with ensuit bathroom, basic room for backpacker, but the hostel surrounding is full of beggars and traffic jam, so unless you have limited budget and would like to explore Chinatown, this is not a bad choice. They are located next to Shanaghai mansion and opposite chinatown hotel,and 2 block away from Grand Royal China town hotel.

      Twin Room without Window
      Stayed 2 nights in December 2019

      No receptionist in the early morning”

      We asked the receptionist in the evening for our early morning (4.30am) leaving the next day and asked for taxi booking. They said they were notified and will call a taxi for us, but there was no one when we need to go. Luckily there's a grab driver nearby to send us to the airport. Otherwise, I think I would missed my flight. Other than this, all were okay.
