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.

The Peak Tram is your best bet. It's a bit touristy, sure, but it's efficient and gets you right to the top. Avoid taxis – they'll gouge you on the fare going uphill. Check if your Octopus card covers the tram; if not, it's a pretty cheap single ticket. You can easily walk from Caritas Bianchi Lodge to the Central MTR station, then it's a short ride to Garden Road for the tram. Much easier than wrestling with buses on those insane slopes.
