Woody House

My room had bedbugs, the hotel management ignored my emails and still to date they don't reply, my legs were full of bites all my staff had to be dried cleaned, I was begging them to reply to my email at least to help me find staff, they have ghosted me, don't save few euros you will spend more on dry cleaning, stay somewhere better

I'm a Japanese male university student. I stayed here for two nights from April 25th to 27th, 2026, so I'm leaving a review mainly for Japanese tourists considering this place! [Price for Service] I booked through Agoda via a Google Maps link, and it cost ¥8,062 per night. It might seem expensive, but accommodation costs in Hong Kong have risen considerably in recent years. Even though I was on a budget trip, I wanted to avoid dire accommodations like Chungking Mansions, and I was looking for a reasonably clean, private room with a lock, so this was the perfect option for me, and I booked it. [Location] It's located in the central part of Hong Kong Island, specifically in the area called "Wan Chai." It's near the tourist spot "Blue House," and while not in the city center, it seems perfectly convenient for general sightseeing. It's about a 10-minute walk from Wan Chai MTR station, close to bus and tram stops, and even within walking distance of the Star Ferry Wan Chai pier (though it takes about 20 minutes...). While some reviews mention the steep slopes and stairs, I didn't particularly find them challenging. As a side note, a 5-minute walk north leads to a shopping street called Stone Nullah Ln. It has supermarkets and bakeries where you can buy things cheaply, so I recommend buying breakfast and drinks there! [Cleanliness] It's a common experience that Japanese hotels are so clean that overseas hotels seem dirty in comparison, but this place was quite clean. The building itself shows some signs of age, but there was no dust or excessive dirt. The pillows and blankets were perfectly usable. However, I noticed something visible through the sheet... and upon lifting it, I found 3-4 strands of hair. It's inexplicable that they were between the mattress and the sheet, and since I didn't see any hair anywhere else, the mystery only deepens, but it's not a pleasant sight. Also, during my stay, I saw about 5 small insects near the bathroom. The insects were about the size of sesame seeds, moved slowly, and didn't fly, so even I, who dislikes insects, found them easy to deal with. Those who are particularly bothered by insects might want to avoid this hotel, but if you absolutely hate even this level of insect, you might want to abandon your search for budget accommodations and stay in a luxury hotel, or even change your destination from Hong Kong altogether. I think it's quite clean for a hotel in this price range. [Staff] All the staff were kind and made sure to make eye contact while communicating. Even with my limited English, I felt I could be understood. Check-in is after 3:00 PM, and includes an explanation of the room and Wi-Fi, and payment of the city tax ($31). Check-out is by 11:00 AM and is simple; you just return the key card. [Facilities and Services] Bath towels, slippers, shampoo, and body soap are provided, but there are no amenities such as toothbrushes (apparently this is a Hong Kong regulation that prevents hotels from providing them). Tissues and toilet paper worked fine. The shower temperature and water pressure were comparable to Japan. The ventilation fan is constantly running, so there's some noise, but it's not too bothersome if you close the bathroom door. The room was on the smaller side, as other reviews mentioned, but I think it's sufficient for sleeping. When I booked through Agoda, I wrote "I'd prefer a larger room if possible," and they kindly changed my single room to a double room. It was perfect for a solo traveler, but I do think it would be cramped for two people. There are two electrical outlets (Type BF), but no USB charging ports. There was a hairdryer, but no refrigerator in my room. Please note that there doesn't seem to be a shared refrigerator either. You can freely control the heating and cooling. The front desk has a coffee machine, water dispenser, and microwave that you can use freely, which was very helpful! 【Summary】 I searched for various budget hotels, and I think I found a pretty good place. While there are minor complaints about cleanliness, personally, it didn't bother me at all. Hotels in Hong Kong are generally expensive, so this is probably one of the best options for a reasonably priced stay. I can definitely recommend it to Japanese travelers.

Finding a place to stay in Hong Kong is truly difficult, especially in the heart of the city! This unassuming corner hotel solves that problem perfectly: If you don't mind the small space and just need a place to sleep, the friendly front desk staff, 24-hour coffee service, convenient amenities, and a quiet location, then Muju is a great choice! 😉

The location is great, in Wan Chai, making it convenient to get to Central and Causeway Bay. The room, though small, was large enough to accommodate my luggage, and most importantly, it was clean. There was a complimentary coffee and water dispenser at the front desk, and the staff were friendly.

Extremely high cost-performance ratio

I booked a single room for NT$1400 per night, which is incredibly cheap for Hong Kong. If you just want a place to sleep, this is perfect. It's only a 7-minute walk from Wan Chai Station. Although others said it was smelly and noisy, I didn't notice any problems and slept very well—maybe I was just too busy with sightseeing every day! 🤣 The staff were friendly and welcoming. It was raining heavily when I arrived, but luckily there was a room available, so they let me check in early to change and rest. I can only give them 100 points! 💯 Considering the price, I can only say that there's probably no better value for money in Hong Kong. I would definitely stay here again next time! (They provide free coffee, which is awesome! 👍)

Although I have stayed in jungle huts in the Amazon and Borneo, this hotel is definitely the wettest place I have ever stayed. The rooms were clean and the service was good, but the room was so damp that each morning the tile floor looked like it had just been freshly mopped and the sheets were like sleeping between wet towels. In the hotel's defense it was April and still very rainy in Hong Kong, but either way it was very difficult to get a good night's sleep here.
