A good website for Chungking Mansions - cheap accommodations

I just found this website on the internet today.





http://www.chungking-mansions.hk





For those of you who don%26#39;t know, Chungking Mansions is this big building at 36-44 Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. Inside, there are money exchangers and various stores/stalls on the first two floors and then all sorts of businesses on the upper floors.





Inside Chungking Mansions are many many hostel/guesthouses - many of them are very inexpensive. Also, there are several Indian, Pakistani, South Asian restaurants in the building as well. Basically, there are many businesses in there.





Anyhows, I found this website today that is like a directory of the whole building. Maybe you will find it useful.





Also, if you are looking for a low cost place to stay, you should definitely look on the internet for reviews of a particular hostel/guesthouse before you decide to stay there (whether in Chungking mansions or not)- or simply post a question on this tripadvisor.com forum to see if anyone knows anything about that particular hostel/guesthouse. As you may or may not know, even though prices at hostels/guesthouses in Chungking mansions are generally low priced, there is a reason for this. A lot of people think the building is run down and unsafe. While that may or may not be completely true, it is true that several of the hostels/guesthouses in the building are not very good. So, just do your research before you commit to stay anywhere in the building (if you even get that far in your plans).
