Upon arrival, the three person hotel room we were promised ended up being about the size of a walk-in closet, a cramped size that was not reflected in the exorbitant price. We have been staying in guest houses and hostels like this all over Asia, and this was by far the worst. It did not feel clean, everything felt old and run down, and eventually we had to cancel our reservation and move to another hotel because we were so hot and disgusted.

Well I wasnt expecting much from reading the reviews, but the room was half decent size (was a single room) shower was above toilet, but was ok. No window in the room. Its ok for a short stay (2 nights), but any longer and I would of had to pay alittle more and got a better room. But the owner was good, helpful and would go out of his way to make sure you got the best out of your stay there. Location is good, right next to the MTR, airport bus's stop near by, and tram stop just a short walk away. Price was ok 320HKD a night. overall a good stay, and half decent place.

Just got back last week from my trip to Asia. We had checked on Tripadvisor before we left U.S. I'd decided to stay in Causeway Bay and Alisan seemed to be the best choice. The rooms we'd stayed werenot too big but they were very clean. If you had stayed in Motels in California (or elsewhere) before, you will find this place 10 times cleaner! The Guesthouse has very good location as we were in walking distance to all major shopping centers, shops, & tons of restaurants. If you are looking for neat place to stay but can't afford hotels in hk, I would highly recommend this place.

I am surprised by the rave reviews Alisan GH has received. The rooms are tiny and worn, not mentioning the bathroom where you basically have to shower over the toilet. Soap was not available. My room did not look particularly clean, just OK and the sheets had holes in them. I have to admitt that reception was helpful and hospitable.

Alisan is not a bad place, however it is not a place I would recommend either. I guess you get what you would expect in that price bracket in HK, nothing more, hence my surprise at the hype surrounding it, on tripadvisor and in various guidebooks.
