I love hongkong this is my 3rd stay at this hotel...

I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel and the location is just perfect. Stafft at Front Desk and Housekeeping were very attentive and definitely I would fully recommend all who is looking for a good budget hotel.

Cleanliness of Hotel room is really good except for the cigarette smell.

We stayed at the Charterhouse Hotel in Wan Chai at the end of Nov/early Dec. Small hotel in a convenient location within easy walking distance of Times Square and with a Seven/Eleven convenience store on the corner. Fairly small rooms, but this maybe typical for this part of the world. Clean and adequately furnished. Good mid-range choice. Good buffet breakfast and modern sports bar. Efficient staff. Would recommend a visit to the Penninsular Hotel for afternoon tea in sheer opulence!

I read reviews on this site and chose charterhouse due to it's central location, i was not disappointed with that but other niggles were, i booked 2 rooms, mine was ok, as suggested small but functional, i had to ask for the blanket on my bed to be changed, it didn't look clean, that was done, fine.
My other room i booked had a leaking air conditioner which dripped onto the carpet causing a smell and damp/wetness. The bathrooms were basic and old which is not a problem but the black mould living on the mastik all around the sink basin was off putting, towels pretty old with worn marks but clean, but the cherry on the cake was i didn't use the mini bar, i never do, i booked out, no charges, nothing used but got home to find i'd been charged for (on checking with my booking agent) 2 bottles of whisky, i absolutely disputed this and to date have heard nothing, i think giving a month is long enough to prove that they accidentally made an 'error' so i would warn others to check their credit cards and if you don't use a minibar ask for it to be cleared thus not giving them the opportunity to 'boost profits' i'm not out of pocket by a huge amount of money, but i could have been!
If you are on your gaurd for this happening (and i have written this review to warn others) i may stay again as the price was reasonable, but i wouldn't leave my credit card open, i wouldn't feel comfortable. I would ask for a quite room, and if the carpet is wet ask to be moved.
The breakfast was lovely.
