For me this was the worst experience ever. The service, cleanliness and room structure are all top notch. I still can't believe this is a hotel that costs HKD 5000++ per night.
Something felt wrong from the moment I checked in. The guy who took us to the room was probably South Asian or Indian. His English accent was so strong that we basically couldn't understand it. Even though I spoke Japanese to him, he insisted on continuing to speak English. He spoke with his back to us the whole time, and when introducing the layout of the room, he habitually touched it with his hands. Forget everything else, he also touched the towels, bathrobes, pajamas in our room and other items that require absolute hygiene with his hands.
Picture 1: We booked a room with an open-air bath, but when we looked outside, we saw someone standing about 10 meters away at eye level. I could see his face. There is only a piece of transparent glass between the shower room and the open-air bath, which means that not only can we not take a bath with peace of mind, but we are also at risk of being seen even taking a bath.
Cleanliness was also disappointing.
Figure 2-3: There are mold spots visible to the naked eye on the mattress of the bed.
Picture 4-6: The pillows, pajamas, and baskets for carrying towels to the bathhouse are all shabby and old, and old stains and worn threads can be seen.
Figure 7-10: Many places in the room (such as the kettle, window sill) are visibly covered with dust, and there are particles on the towels that I don’t know are garbage or what.
I immediately asked Trip.com customer service to help me report the situation and request a refund, but the hotel refused. Then I went to the lobby manager to negotiate, and the person I negotiated with was a young Japanese male employee. I think it was quite gentle at the time, and I just explained the situation to him and showed him the photos, but he said that we had already checked in and they were preparing dinner, so there must be no refund today. I asked for one step back and only asked for tomorrow's portion (because I booked two nights), but he still rejected my request after discussing with his boss.
We were really helpless at the time, but after careful consideration, we reluctantly gave up the HKD 11,000++ and booked another two nights at the nearby Tiancheng Garden.
