Cramped City Views?

fmd_good West Hotel

Stayed at the West Hotel in @HongKong last week. Tiny room, seriously tiny. I could practically touch both walls at the same time. The view was supposed to be amazing, but I could barely see past… more

Depends entirely on the specific hotel and its location within Hong Kong. Some hotels, even on higher floors, are hemmed in by other buildings. Others, though, will have significantly better views the higher you go. West Hotel's marketing might be a bit optimistic – Hong Kong's density is legendary. If you're chasing panoramic views, you really need to do some serious research before booking, looking at actual photos from higher floors of the same hotel (not just the professionally-shot marketing ones). Check Google Street View too, to get a feel for the surroundings.

That's weird! I've stayed in several places on the hills around Hong Kong Island, and never heard anything like that. Maybe some kind of nocturnal animal? Lots of unusual wildlife there. Or perhaps… some kind of local legend or folklore connected to the area? Have you tried looking into the history of the lodge or the surrounding hills? You know, sometimes old buildings have...quirks. Could be anything from plumbing to, well, you get the idea.

Yeah, it's definitely weird. Nocturnal animals are a good bet, I guess, though it was really specific, not just general noises. Local legends...that's an interesting thought. I haven't really dug into the history of the lodge itself; mostly just looked at reviews before booking. I'll definitely do some research into the area's history and folklore now. Thanks for the suggestion! Plumbing quirks explain some things, but not the feeling of...being watched. It was unsettling.
