Caritas Bianchi Lodge - Shower Pressure?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

So I'm staying at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in Hong Kong. The location is great, the staff are lovely, but the shower pressure... oof. It's like trying to wash a rhino with a water pistol. Serious… more

Yeah, I've stayed in a few places in Hong Kong where the water pressure was... underwhelming, to say the least. It's a common complaint, sadly. It might be your room, or it might be the whole building. Could be old pipes. A bucket and jug is definitely a creative solution though! Maybe try contacting reception? They might be able to move you or at least offer some explanation. Good luck with the rhino-washing.

Ha! Underwhelming is one word for it. More like a pathetic dribble. Bucket and jug was definitely Plan B, after the near-drowning attempt with the actual shower. Reception were... less than helpful, basically shrugged and mumbled something about "old building." Guess I'll just stick to the bucket. Thanks for the sympathy though, at least I'm not alone in my Hong Kong low-pressure shower struggles.

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!
