Hong Kong – Hotels
Oct 05
I stayed at several hotels while in Hong Kong.
My room in the Metropark Hotel Wanchai had a really cool and hip look, and the staff was friendly, but the hotel was damp and had the worse mildew smell of any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. To make it even worse, the hotel staff was trying to cover the mildew smell with heavy use of air fresheners that just made things worse.
Just to show how damp and humid my hotel room was, I took a shower in the afternoon after checking in, the next morning there was still water drops covering the floor of the shower.
I checked out after one night with clogged sinuses and a headache.
I had a suite at the Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View with nice views of Victoria Harbor. Fairly traditional room, nice with not a lot of flare. Starting to show a bit of wear.
The W Hong Kong was nice, but the use of the W Signature Scent in my room seemed a bit heavy. I also stayed at a W Hotel in Taipei on this trip and didn’t notice such a heavy use of the W Signature Scent. It seemed like the staff at the W Hong Kong were trying to cover up a mild mildew smell problem.
