Well, it’s what you expect for that amount of money, but I didn’t expect the cockroaches and I didn’t expect the fuses blowing on if you use too many of the appliance, like if you had your hot water and the Aircon on the fuse would go.
But if you pay peanuts, you get what you pay for.

WORST PLACE EVER
CHECK IN - the worst of any place. I arrive the day of check in and they took my name and had me sign in - I was to spend the day with my Aunt and decided to sleep over at her place (she lives in HK) that night
The next day I arrive at 2pm to get the key to the room I was assigned and found out they gave my room away (because I did not stay that night) I was left outside with a squeaky intercom that you cannot understand Guys try standing in front of this intercom and see if you can even make out what you are saying I stood there with a bursting bladder and FINALLY they buzzed me in
After speaking to the front desk person they gave me a room in another building Hotel Skycity (it's a chain that starts with 'Hotel') and later told me that I was staying there for now until they can find another spot for me tomorrow Whaaaaat????
It is obvious they are overbooking their rooms like crazy and leave guests in the lurch Absolutely horrible practice
ROOM - approx 8X8 sq ft including the bathroom in the corner It is clean with safe and AC The bathroom/toilet/shower room is one spot on the corner of the room There's a small TV (don't care)
LOCATION - very convenient to shopping metro and food This is the only plus and that's why one star (then again you can't really do zero stars)

The hotel is conveniently located in Kowloon. The room is small, the private bathroom tiny. The shower head is actually mounted on the wall over the toilet. The interactions I had with the staff was pleasant. This hotel is in one of the "mansions" which means it's a multi use building. The elevators are small and you frequently had to queue up and wait for a turn to your floor (12th in the case of Venus).
My biggest aggravation had nothing to do with the hotel, it was the incessant offers for suits and fake Rolex watches, as well as occasionally hashish. You get tired of constantly having to shoo away these determined Indian chaps trying to hustle you.

Cheap price for a the night
Only paid $72 for the night for 4 people so it was a cheap room for the night. I wouldn’t want to stay more than one night, not a nice place for a family but good it you want a cheap room. It was very clean and neat, probably better than l expected. Clean towels were brought to the room, fresh fro:the dryer. Very quiet at night.
We were supposed to be staying in another hotel but we were then brought to this hotel in the same complex, just a different block. Seems to be a few hotels owned by the same people so you may not be staying in the same hotel name that you initially booked. But it seems they are all the same.
Worth the money in an expensive city.

Better than expected
Booked hotel for daughter an family but after reading reviews we stayed instead. The Hotel/hostel is located centrally on busy road across from train station. Ground floor is hive of activity with loads of stalls changing money, mobile phones food stalls and tailors. We were approached everyday by different people in and outside of the hotel entrance offering various item like tailoring but they left us alone when we politely declined. It's no different to walking around Turkey or Egypt. We booked a family room (thankfully) and were pleasantly surprised. The room was very basic but spotlessly clean. There was enough room for the two of us but it would be a squeeze for 4. Theres room under beds for cases an a few hangers on wall hooks to hang clothes so you'll need to live out of cases. The shower is with the toilet and boiler but this is normal practice in HK. The room was cleaned daily and fresh towels provided. Residents also live in the same block only some of the floors are used as hotel rooms. The back stairs and corridors are grubby but the small hotel corridors are clean and well cared for. The downside was the waiting around for lifts. Only two lifts each block one side odd and other even numbers but never waited more than a few minutes and it's monitored by cameras and security staff manage the queue so no one pushed in. I don't know if we were lucky But no real complaints - got what we paid for - after all we only slept and showered there as were out all day.

The location of the hotel is really nice, it is located at the centre of the city. There are many restaurants and shops nearby. There are also many tourist attractions there too. The rooms are nice and cozy as well, with individual bathrooms attached to it.

Clean room and convinient location
It was good for me as I went sightseeking & shopping all day and just needed a clean space to sleep. The hotel is well situated with MRT/subway station nearby with WiFi access. Basic amenities, daily housekeeping and clean bath towel were provided. The duty officer was nice and they even let me leave my luggages even after check out.

Worst experience
We arrived in the evening of March 4, 2017. First of all, the building itself is jampacked. The elevators,which can fit about 5 or 6 people without luggage are so tiny. We had to wait another 15 minutes before we can go up to the Hostel. Coming from an 18-hr flight, we were surprised when the guy told us that our room was gonna be in another block. This meant that we had to go back down and wait again another 15 mins before we can go to another block on the 16th floor. You see,this is where the trickery happened. We booked our room at Venus last year. The photos were pretty decent and the reviews back then were good that is why we decided to try it. However,we did not get transferred to another room in another block. It was a completely different hostel! It was so small,my fiancé had to either go out of the room or be on the bed when I had to do something. There was a certain smell too that comes our from the airconditioning. There are no windows that a claustrophobic would go in panic attack.
The experience was so terrible that we had to leave after the second night.
To the Hotel Venus owner, you doing bad business will make your business actually o down.
To the readers,if you read Chunking mansions in the address of the hostel, don't ever go for it! It's a trap!

Hmmmm.... what can I say???
Our stay at Hotel Venus was interesting to say the least. The good things about it were that our room was clean and the location was very good. The hot water was on demand and there was lots of it. It had air conditioning and a phone. The not so good things were .... it took over ½ an hour to check us in. To get to our room you had to go through a long corridor to get to the elevator that was full of filthy vendor stalls. The elevator itself would only accommodate about 5 people without any consideration of personal space and painfully slow. There were always lineups for the elevator. Our room was laughable. It was about 60 square feet. If one of us wanted to move, the other had to sit on the bed. We could not open our luggage and access it readily.
The picture is deceiving and this is NOT a hotel. Call it what it what it is.... a hostel.
