Ashoka Hostel

If you’re looking for a fair place to lay your head down, which is not fancy and in a fair price than so can definitely come here.
The instructions to get to the building from the airport were very easy, however– finding the exact elevator that takes you up is pretty tough.
It’s inside Chungking mansion and to get to it you have to wait in line and be harassed by random people in random matters (massage? Taxi? Money? Guesthouse?)
Once I was lucky enough to get to the reception I found out I had to take the other elevator (one goes to even floors and one to the odd) — then the receptionist came to pick me up, she was super nice and very kind.
I checked in quickly and was brought to the room– it was very basic and very small, my sheet had a cigarette burn on it.
The shower head was above the toilet– which is very uncommon in European standards.
The lamp was broken and one socket didn’t work.
There was a TV, aircon, a fan and hot water in the shower.
Overall, and despite all that– this place felt rather cosy, I was always welcomed with a smile and they helped me with whatever I needed, they even changed my towel every day– you get used to the size overtime.
The noise kinda bothered me– my office was next to the reception so there were always conversations, phone calls and people pass by which disturbed my sleep, the noise from the street reached even the 16^th floor thanks to the thin walls.
If you’re not planning on spoiling yourself that’s quite a nice place to lay your head overnight.
