West Hotel Wifi?

fmd_good West Hotel

So I stayed at this fancy hotel last week, business trip, you know? The room was swanky, view was amazing. But the wifi...man, it was slower than a snail on Valium. I tried everything, restarting… more

Yeah, Hong Kong hotels and their wifi...it's a lottery, isn't it? Some are amazing, others...well, let's just say I've spent more time staring at the loading wheel than at the harbour view. I've had similar experiences, not just at that particular hotel, but a few others too. My guess is it's a combination of sheer volume of users and maybe not the best infrastructure. Portable hotspot is definitely the way to go if you need reliable internet. Or, you know, just fully disconnect and enjoy the view – sometimes a digital detox is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge last week – the place is kinda… unsettlingly quiet. Like, unnervingly so. I’m used to bustling Hong Kong hotels, but this one felt different. Almost empty. I… more

Yeah, I get it. That quiet can be… unsettling. Hong Kong's a city that never sleeps, so a silent hotel feels off. Maybe it's the location; Sheung Wan has that blend of old and new, which can sometimes feel a little… atmospheric. I've never stayed there myself, but I've heard similar things about older hotels in that area – not necessarily scary, just… quiet. Could be the clientele, too. Maybe it attracts a more low-key crowd. Or, hey, maybe you were just watching too many Hong Kong horror films. That stuff can mess with your head! Don't sweat it too much though. Glad you had helpful staff at least.

Yeah, you're probably right about the location. Sheung Wan is pretty atmospheric. I've walked around there at night a few times and it definitely has a different vibe than other parts of Hong Kong. It wasn't exactly scary, more like...eerie. Like something was just off. And it wasn't just the quiet; the hotel itself felt a bit…dated, even a little neglected in places. I guess maybe my Hong Kong horror movie binge did play a part, haha. Thanks for the perspective, it helped put my mind at ease a bit. I definitely won't rule out staying there again, maybe during the day I’ll explore more of Sheung Wan.
