Student Accommodation - 292 Hennessy Road

“Never book this again. It’s sh**t.”

First they gave us three rooms in the same building but later changed to three separate buildings with 200 m and 500 m apart. They didn’t have any keys for the Jade mansion. We had to face abuse from the building security guard. Their bathroom was not clean and the sink was getting clogged. Their bathroom owner’s response was pretty late. It was quite frustrating.

“If you plan to only sleep in the room, this is fine.”

The place felt very secure thanks to all the e‑locks and was easy to get in and out. I liked the air‑conditioning and the location was fine for moving around the city. However, although there is a kitchen, I couldn’t find enough utensils to make self‑catering worthwhile; there was not a single plate, more than one saucepan or more than one mug. Hong Kong Island can be pricey, so this was disappointing. There is basically no communal area or dining space separate from your room, and since my tiny, windowless room felt isolating and uncomfortable, staying inside became a problem. A typhoon warning had me stuck inside for most of a day, which was really unenjoyable. Other guests occupy the small space for long periods, so finding room to store toiletries in the bathroom or groceries in the fridge is tough. I was also kept awake by other tenants cooking at 2 am. My room had a fan and lamp that were battery‑powered and had charging cables with visible wear. There was one plug and an extension lead that showed signs of burning/melting. In the future I’d spend more for a more comfortable stay.

This review is only about my room, which was extremely small; I couldn’t fit the bed or my luggage. Other rooms in the apartment are wider, and the only good thing was that I had a window. The apartment isn’t on Hennessy Road but on Heard Street, which was confusing because the lady who contacted me said it was on Hennessy Road. To enter the building, the apartment, and the room you need different eight‑digit codes, which makes it hard to remember. I don’t know what’s wrong with four‑digit codes. There is only one bathroom that you share with eight other people, and the cleaning lady only comes once a week, so you can imagine the mess. Most of the time the bathroom was occupied, and some other guests were not very clean. There is no living room or furniture, no towels are provided, and they won’t change your sheets. I was afraid every time I went to the bathroom at night that the door would close accidentally and I’d be trapped outside because the password is long and it took me a long time to remember it.

“médiocre”

The location was good. The bedbugs, the air‑conditioning leaking water onto my belongings (which didn’t dry because of the ambient humidity), and the door lock that didn’t work only added to my stress during the stay. I also requested a refund, which was denied.
