HKD $6000 to $13000 depends on the location
On the assumption that this is correct, and there's no reason not to believe jchow88888, then the rent of a 141 room is really the same as any other room in a tenement.
Let's think about this. Most WGs work out of a room that was originally a larger apartment but then divided into smaller rooms (so that the landlord can collect more rent). This isn't any different from so many other buildings with residences in Hong Kong. When I lived in Mong Kok, my room (I can't really call it an apartment) was exactly like that. With this in mind there's no reason to think that a 141 room would be any more or less expensive in rent cost than any other room for rent. This would make sense to explain why 141s in Wan Chai, Causeway and Sheung Wan have higher rates than the 141s in Mong Kok, Sham Shui Po and Kwun Tong -- the cost of rent for residential buildings in the former are higher than in the latter.
And lastly, you can tell who are the North Americans and who are the Europeans here based on who's saying "rent" or "let."
