Youth Hostels in Kowloon, Hong Kong: Chung King Mansion

If your are curious about Youth Hostels & Guest Houses in the Chung King Mansion, Kowloon, Hong Kong this is the article for you. Both the Chung King and Mirador Mansions (Please see my Associated Content article on the Mirador Mansion for the list of contact information for the 17 Youth Hostels and Guest Houses that are located there)are located in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Kowloon is a great location for any traveler as it is a very convenient and central location, and generally cheaper than Hong Kong proper.

Although Hong Kong proper is over the river, the city itself is not that big, the subway in Kowloon will have you there in about 5 minutes. Or you can cross the river using the scenic route via the Star Ferry which is a 10 minute walk from the Chung King Mansion. The Chung King Mansion is home to Youth Hostels, Guest Houses, businesses and residences. (For directions to and amenities in the Chung King Mansion, please see the end of this article.)

I have read some online reviews describing the safety & accommodations of the Kowloon, Hong Kong, Chung King Mansion as superior to the Mirador Mansion which was described as "sketchy". I would have to say that simply is not true. The Mirador Mansion is as safe and secure as the Chung King Mansion and they are located 1.5 blocks from each other, in the exact same Kowloon neighborhood. Just for some information on my perspective, I am a woman who traveled to Hong Kong alone and spent 3 nights in 2 Youth Hostels in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The crime rate in Hong Kong and Kowloon is very low, I felt safe at all times and at all hours day or night. The sketchiest thing about both The Mirador Mansion & the Chung King Mansion is the elevator (lift) situation. While the Mirador Mansion elevator usually takes approximately 5-10 minutes to arrive, I found that the elevator situation in the Chung King Mansion was far worse.
