Hong Kong Hotel Quirks?

fmd_good West Hotel

Stayed at the West Hotel last week – wow, what a view! Seriously, the harbor at night is unreal. But I noticed something weird. Every single room had a tiny, almost hidden drawer – like, seriously ti… more

Never heard of that! That's super strange. Dust bunnies in tiny drawers are rarely a selling point. Maybe it's something to do with the building's original design? Hong Kong's got a ton of old buildings with quirky features leftover from different eras – maybe it's a relic from when the hotel was first built? Or perhaps they were intended for something specific, like storing extra linens or even something much more mundane that's since been rendered obsolete. You'd have to ask the hotel management, I guess.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. It was so bizarre! Dust bunnies in tiny, inaccessible drawers… who does that?! I figured it was probably some historical quirk, but I couldn't find anything online about it. I didn't want to bother management – seemed a bit silly to complain about that, lol. I guess it'll remain one of those weird hotel mysteries.

Forget the touristy stuff. Head towards the residential areas near the MTR stations. Look for places packed with people who aren't taking selfies. Seriously, if it's busy with locals, especially during lunch or dinner rushes, that's your sign. They often won't have huge signs in English – that's your other clue. Don't be afraid to just wander around those smaller side streets a bit. You’ll find them. The best ones are often tucked away, almost accidental finds. Trust your instincts; if it feels authentic and busy with locals, go for it. You’ll get a far better sense of the real Quarry Bay vibe than anything advertised in English.
