Lily Garden Guest House

Yes, it's cheap but it is also within a very good location in the TST district. Just a few steps lands you through the HK subway. You should set expectations according to the price you pay. I was a solo traveler and only went there to bathe and sleep.

You can find a number of hostels inside Mirador mansion. The building itself may not be for everyone since it’s dirty and very old but it’s conveniently located within TST area so if you’re on a budget and can overlook the not-so-good condition of the building, staying at any of the hostels in Mirador Mansion will work for you. We do not want to splurge on accomodation along TST (we booked another hotel in Mong Kong area during our trip) since we will be out most of the time so we chose to look for the cheapest accomodation that we could find. We booked Lily Garden Guest House via Agoda. I should say that setting your expectation lower than normal will help a lot if you do not want to be upset and ruin your vacation. Cons: 1. Mirador mansion is an old, rundown building. We were instructed to go to 3rd floor to check in (the actual flat which the owner divided into a number of units is on the 5th floor). It was unbelievably dirty. Garbage greeted us on our way to the reception flat. 2. The towels given to us were so old. It’s a good idea to bring your own. 3. They do not replace the bedsheet. Bring your own blanket. 4. There were several cockroaches. 5. Water spills out of the tiny bathroom and on the floor whenever someone showers. 6. On the day of our checkout, i saw that they billed us more than what we were supposed to pay. We called their attention but they couldn’t give any explanation and said that it’s Agoda who billed us, not them. Which is super weird. This is the main reason why I gave them this rating. We will never trust them again with our credit card. Pros: 1. Perfect location when you’re in TST area. 2. Tiny room but they clean it everyday. 3. Drinking water (hot and cold), a landline telephone, a small fridge and a hairdryer are accessible for all guests, free of charge. 4. The flat has security lock. 5. Cheap but watch out as they may bill you more than what you’re suppose to pay, just like what happened to us. We may book a room again with them but only if we have no other choice.

convenient location, a bit small room but its okay since im just sleeping there anyway... complete facilities, great wifi, clean room and toilet and very accommodating staff because they were able to let me check in at 3am, though i wasn't able to have my luggage deposited upon check out. overall, my experience is nice and would recommend the place for people looking for cheap accommodations within nice location
