To be fair, it looks like nothing more than an average holiday house (渡假屋) you could find anywhere in Cheung Chau for less than $350 per person during the weekends.
We felt quite uncomfortable and unsecured staying in this place, and decided not to stay overnight. We probably stayed there for less than one hour that day for check-in (placing our luggage) and check-out.
In a nutshell, the only pro we could think of is that it has 2 beds with a sofa bed, which means you could have 4-6 people around in one room where there aren’t many similar alternatives in Cheung Chau. We absolutely would have opted for other places in Cheung Chau, especially we are paying HKD17xx one night for 4 person.
Beds are actually directly facing the entrance and window, and the place is actually on G/ F where you need to pass through dark alley before getting to this place - weren’t shown in the description which is quite deceiving. The window blinds are not big enough and windows are not blacken out from the outside, people could actually see you on the bed sleeping through the windows. The door does not look secure either with one lock only and without any door/ safety chain, plus the owner placed the door key in a combination lock literally next to the door for check-in (which is indeed convenient but does not feel safe after considering all these issues).
Here comes to the uncomfortable part. We were not aware of obvious stains on the bed sheets, duvet covers and blankets (as we didn’t stay overnight so didn’t unfold them) BUT it is obviously the owner has been using the same sets of beddings for a long while without replacing them (e.g. pills on the beddings and the blue blanket turns grey).
Mold in the bathroom is another issue - it is super gross and disgusting to see mold while you are washing your face or take the shower. If It is just few black spots, we would definitely not understand, but you could see for yourselves from the pictures that it’s not the case. At least few feet are covered with mold which is totally unbearable.
Also, the paint on the wall and door fall off and one leg of the bed frame is broken. This place is not as spacious as it looks like on picture. We guess it is around 350 square feet in total, with a tiny bathroom where you could not have a peep or shower without worrying touching the bathroom walls or the sink. But these are not great deal, comparing to other issues that we just mentioned
We did consider if we are being too picky and fussy, and decided to wait for a week before leaving this review. But after a week, we still honestly think we are just stating the facts and how we felt towards this place and we will let others to decide.
