Many hotels don't have signs at entrance or in the building directory.
This is because they don't satisfy government fire requirements.
Hotels without a sign are illegal. Many thefts reported from dormitories. You should always lock your bags. |

| Divided into 5 blocks, A to E. Each has 2 elevators and 2 emergency stairs. One elevator stops on even floors and the other stops on odd floors. The elevator hall and stairs are very small, the stairs are full of garbage and the air is stale. It is an unpleasant environment but there are many cheap guesthouses. It is very depressing to use the stairs, but its probably a good idea in order to be familiar with the emergency route in case of fire. | ||

Hong
Kong's accommodation options for the budget traveler rank as
some of the worst in the world, small, dirty & expensive.
You are very lucky if you can stay in a room with a window. Within
the backpackers' budget, you can stay only in a small mini hotel/hostel
in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, such as one in Chung King Mansions.
Rooms are tiny, sometimes they're little bigger than the bed.
