I stayed at this hotel in Hong Kong twice in six months, what's the secret?
There's no way not to like this Kerry Hotel. The taste of the Shangri-La Group is also presented differently here. Importantly, this Kerry Hotel is in its prime, not yet in its twilight.
But that's just the exterior, inside Kerry indeed has many advantages.
๐Highlights:
Great location: Walk through the restaurant at the back door of the hotel, down the steps, and the Hung Hom Pier comes into view. Just need to top up the Octopus card in advance, and you can conveniently take a ferry to the other side. In addition, about one kilometer away from the hotel is the Whampoa Station community, with the MTR there, it's convenient to get to Wan Chai and Tsim Sha Tsui. The hotel rooms are new, spacious, and importantly, it has a high cost-performance ratio on weekdays.
๐Room Facilities:
New, is the best compliment for a hotel, because with new facilities, everything is still good. There are two types of rooms, one overlooking the Victoria Harbour pier, and the other is a street view. I have stayed in both, and the sea view is naturally good.
๐Note tips:
The front desk check-in is naturally in Chinese, but the speed of the staff varies. I encountered it twice, once slow, once fast, it is recommended to use visa, the deposit is returned faster. It is said that the hotel breakfast is very good, but unfortunately, I didn't experience it, those interested in Shangri-La's catering can give it a try.
๐ฝDining Recommendations:
You can try the hotel's restaurant, of course, it's not a must, but the char siu is exceptional, the brown sugar char siu, true to its name. The restaurant location needs to be reserved in advance, especially the window sea view. The restaurant also has a large terrace, overlooking Victoria Harbour is even better.
๐จHotel Environment:
Because it hasn't been open for many years, among the hotels of the same level, Kerry is relatively new, with very modern decoration, as for special features, there is nothing particularly special.
โ
Must Experience: For dining, you can try the restaurants around the nearby community, and ordering takeout is also fast. There is a good restaurant nearby, burnch is not bad, with hand-brewed coffee, right by the pier.
Overall, from check-in to check-out, it was not bad, but of course, there are naturally shortcomings, such as the poor attitude of individual staff members, I forget which floor's public area, the attitude was really something else.
