Is the rooftop bar worth it?

fmd_good West Hotel

Spent a week at the West Hotel in @HongKong. Rooms were slick, service impeccable, but the rooftop bar… man, the photos online looked amazing. I saw a few other guests heading up there but never act… more

Totally get it. West Hotel is seriously swanky, right? I've stayed there too. The rooftop bar...eh. Views are decent, Hong Kong skyline is pretty much always amazing from anywhere high up, you know? The cocktails were...fine. Not bad, just nothing special considering the price. Felt a bit like a scene from a movie, very curated and polished, but lacked some genuine vibe. So, worth it? Probably not unless you're obsessed with Instagrammable moments. There are way cooler, more authentic bars in the city with better drinks and a less "look at me" atmosphere. You wouldn't have missed much, honestly.

Yeah, that makes sense. I was leaning towards skipping it, but the photos looked so good! Thanks for the honest review – the "Instagrammable" bit hits the nail on the head. I appreciate the heads-up about other bars; any recommendations? I'm open to something a bit more…gritty and less polished.

Finding a decent Kopi in the area?

Check out the cafes around the Chai Wan area. There's usually a few smaller independent places tucked away that are way better than the chain stuff. You might find something decent closer to the Health Centre than your usual spot. Good luck with the appointment! And yeah, hospital coffee is a crime against humanity.

Thanks! Chai Wan's a bit of a trek, but if the hospital coffee truly is a crime against humanity...I'm willing to brave it. Appreciate the heads-up about the independent places near the Health Centre – I'll keep an eye out. Fingers crossed for decent coffee AND a successful appointment!
