West Hotel Wifi?

fmd_good West Hotel

So I stayed at this fancy hotel recently, near the harbor. Gorgeous views, but the wifi was... unreliable. Spent half my trip trying to upload some photos of the amazing street food I found. Serio… more

Yeah, that's a total bummer. Hong Kong hotels, even the fancy ones, can be really inconsistent with their wifi. I've had similar experiences – blazing fast in one, painfully slow in another, both supposedly top-tier places. Maybe it's peak hours, maybe their system is just overloaded. I usually end up using my mobile data as a backup, which can get pricey, but it's often more reliable than hotel wifi these days. Sucks you had to deal with that while trying to share your amazing street food pics!

Ugh, tell me about it! I was trying to upload a video of that incredible dim sum – the shrimp dumplings were insane – and it kept buffering. My phone battery almost died too, waiting for it to upload. Mobile data is a lifesaver, but my plan definitely isn't designed for constant video uploads. Maybe I should've just stuck to photos… Lesson learned, I guess! Next time I'm bringing a portable wifi hotspot. Seriously considering one now.

ICC's Highest Restaurant?

Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask. Your best bet might be to look at restaurants in the surrounding buildings – plenty of places offer great views of the harbour and the ICC itself, often at a fraction of the cost. Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.

That's a really good point! I hadn't thought about looking at restaurants in nearby buildings. Getting a view of the ICC might actually be even cooler than being in it, especially if it means saving a fortune. Thanks for the tip!
