Cebu or not Cebu, that is the question.
A pleasant stay, though not at the hotel booked (i.e. Cebu Hotel) but instead at one of the company's sister hotels just a few minutes away. Not a problem and the place is better than expected.

Very Good
This is a Guest House not a hotel. Over all impression very good. Mr. Roy is very accomodating but unfortunately there is a foul smell came inside the comfort room and they are not checking whether the bath soap or shampoo is going to be no more. It’s good to stay in the hotel just to sleep only.

Cheated
Pathetic when I got there I was moved to a hostel. The hotel itself is on the top floor where the lift does not reach. You have to climb stairs to get there and once I got there I was told to go down two other floors which was a hostel. I felt cheated or was it wrong advertising on the hotel part. Didn't want to go to a hostel that's why I booked for a hotel room. I can't even post my pictures.

2nd time in HK, 2nd time in Chungking
On our first night, half of our group were cheked in on a different hostel while the other stayed in Cebu Hotel. It was inconvenient for us because we had to move again to Cebu Hotel the next day for the rest of our stay. The hotel was kept clean always and secured. No direct access to the elevator since the place was located at the 17th floor while the elevator is only up to the 16th floor. On thing that made the stay great was Chungking Mansions accessibility to the malls, MTR, and Bus.

Unexpectedly Tidy Property for its Rating
The property is conveniently located. Almost all cultural landmarks and attractions are within several minutes_walk. Best of all, MTR stations (Tsim Cha Tsui and East Tsim Cha Tsui) are both within 1-minute. Bus routes stop right in front of the building. Kevin, the house keeper, is a great guy who is so helpful and does an extraordinary job in making the property spotlessly clean.

Location was ideal in Kowloon just around corner from MRT. Fascinating entrance to hotel that allows you to show off how patient and humorous you are. Plenty of money exchanges on ground floor as well as a variety of ‘indoor’ street food stalls. I was pleased to say I actually lost a wee bit of weight thanks to the latter. A word of warning to those elderly folk thinking of booking this hotel: lift only goes to 16th floor and you have to walk up to 17th carrying suitcase. You also need a bit of home plumbing experience to flush and fill the toilet cistern, but luckily, in my case, the cistern lid was missing and shower head was handy to assist me. Also don’t do as I did and leave the toilet paper in the bathroom as you’ll end up with a soggy mess as it’s effectively a wet room. But despite all that it was value for money.during the 7s rugby weekend.

Cebu Hotel, Chungking Mansion - not a bad place
I was with my sister on our first trip in HK and we stayed at Hall A of Chungking Mansion under Cebu Hotel on the 17F. It was a bit scary entering the building since there are lots of hawkers for the other hostels in the same building but we were lucky coz we had the elevator near the front and there is a guard at the elevator aiding people in the line. You can also see the CCTV monitor for both elevators so everyone at the ground floor can see. The elevator is only up to the 16F so you have to take the stairwell which is where all the packed garbage bags are but its just a fast climb. The hotel itself is small with small rooms and bath but it was clean, fresh towels morning and night, warm water plus the best part, 2 locks on the door - doorknob lock and bolt lock so very secure. Hotel door is safe also since no one can get in without the code given by the hotel. I could stay here again if on a budget.

Good location for food and shopping
I was very disappointed when we reached the hotel. The elevator was up to 16th floor only so we have to go by the stairs carrying our suit cases going tot he next level 17th floor. When we entered the room, I saw a single double bed uncovered, the room was very narrow, he gave us blankets which seem used one. We were very tired and exhausted from the very delayed flight and long travel from the Hongkong airport to the hotel. But we forced ourselves to slept and hoping the next day would be fine. I told the hotel guy that the room my mother paid is single room with two beds and luckily he shifted us to a bigger room with two beds. Other than the unprepared and narrow room upon checking in, after getting few hours of sleep, we searched for the restaurants. In fairness to Cebu Hotel, the location is very good, it's very closed to the restaurants and shopping malls that way helped us save money for the tax, though we did not attempt to go for the tour due to the bad weather non stop raining and we forced to buy umbrellas otherwise we will have bath on the rain. Though it was a short visit to Hongkong but my brother and I enjoyed the food and the shopping.

Small, clean room in a very interesting building.
The room was exactly as expected: a single bed with a small bathroom. There wasn't much else, because there literally wasn't space for anything else. It was clean, though. The building that the Cebu guest house is in is called the ChungKing mansion. It's fairly notorious around HK for being the place to go to get fake watches or a tailor or drugs. The first couple floors house money exchange stands, restaurants, phone accessory stands, and other small shops. I've never been in a building as energetic or exciting with such a diverse clientele as the ChungKing Mansion. Some might not like that, but I really thought it was fun to see so many cultures and languages interacting with each other. Except for the long waits for the elevator, those weren't fun. Check in for Cebu Hostel is on the 17th floor of Block A, right near the Nathan street entrance. The elevators only go to the 16th floor, so make sure to take the even number elevator to the 16th floor and then take the stairs. Be prepared to be kind of grossed out in the stairs, because that's where the trash is. When I got to the check in, the man looked me up and then called another man, who was to take me to my room. We went all the way downstairs to the ground floor and then went to Block E, and took the elevator to the 7th floor. This was a different guest house (Sydney Hostel) but the key worked and there didn't seem to be a problem. THe room was clean, quiet, and generally fine.

Kindness only gets you so far
First our room wasn't ready, waited 1 hour, then had to stay in another hotel without a window. Then had to move back the next day to find out our room still wasn't ready, waited another hour until they gave us an upgrade ( on the condition if it got booked we would move out). Hotel staff was always friendly and accommodating however very inconvenient. Rooms and small but clean. Hotel is in a bad location lifts are always slow and people down stairs are always pestering you to buy drugs and fake goods

Meh, just okay
You really have to lower your expectations with Hong Kong guesthouses. But not only is this not serviced by an elevator, when you get in, it's pretty much a mess. The corridor was WAY too small (and I've been to other guesthouses before), the bathroom reeks of dirty mop water, and the beddings don't look that clean. WiFi signal was also weak in our room. They also charge $10 for the adaptor rental. I guess if you're really on a budget and only staying 1 night with really light luggage (you have to go up the stairs after using the lift on the 16th floor) and you REALLY want a place directly in Tsim Sha Tsui then it's fine.
