About Tsim Sha Tsui Stay

Tsim Sha Tsui Stay is an independent travel guide, written in English for international visitors, devoted to one subject: budget accommodation in Tsim Sha Tsui and the surrounding neighbourhoods of Kowloon, Hong Kong. The guide covers guesthouses, hostels and budget hotels; the airport transfers that reach them, above all the A21 bus; the districts worth sleeping in; the daily budgets that hold; and the food that keeps a cheap trip worth taking. It is published at manhinglung-hotel.com, an address whose name remembers a historic family guesthouse of the district, the Man Hing Lung Guest House, which closed long ago; what the desk carries on is the practical tradition it served, honest nightly rates and clear directions from the airport.

How the desk works

Every price on this site is a real Hong Kong dollar figure from the observed market, not a marketing range: dorm bands, room bands, bus fares, meal bands. Routes are described by their real stops and real streets, from Nathan Road to Temple Street. When a service disappears, as the free K5 airport shuttle did in June 2020, the desk documents what replaced it rather than repeating the old advice. The editorial policy states these rules in full, and the guesthouse guide shows the method applied.

What the desk is not

The desk is not a booking agency, takes no reservations and sells no rooms; the booking checklist exists precisely so readers can judge listings themselves. The site accepts clearly labelled sponsored placements under the rules published on the sponsored content page, and never in the guides' price lines. To reach the desk, use the contact page.
