Hong Kong hotels near Hong Kong House of Stories

Cons: We dined in the top floor restaurant Above and Beyond and had the Peking Duck set menu with a wine pairing. Here, unfortunately, the highly attentive service became intrusive and absurd. For example, someone comes every minute to check on your table and rather than a casual glance this check includes a careful study. The servers would often jump in to do something unnecessary and pointless such as turning the water bottle so that the label faces you or randomly realigning items on the table in a fussy manner. And if you had the temerity to top off your own water glass, someone would jump in and grab the bottle form your hand. Aside form the overbearing service, the meal was only okay. The duck was tasty, but most of the other flavors were no more than ordinary. And the wine pairings were similarly undistinguished. Considering that the meal (at HKD 2000) was by far the most expensive one we had in 4 days in Hong Kong, it was a very poor value for money. I recommend going elsewhere despite the high rating this place receives on Trip Advisor.

Cons: Everytime I stay here I come away with a bad cough. I have a feeling there is a lot of mold in the air conditioning and it is causing this. No matter what room I’ve stayed in, I end up with a cough after staying here.

Cons: The restaurant was like a cattle market with no one queuing and little organisation (more the fault of the people than the hotel) Also the price per night was extortionate.

Cons: No

Cons: Asked for an extended checkout, they gave me 30 minutes.

Cons: They advertise something it should be for both sexes

Cons: the fact that I had to pay 240HKD for breakfast after paying 2000+HKD for the room

Cons: nothing

Cons: Waited a really really long time for a room. Promised us a room then we waited and waited after a long flight. Said they'd come to us randomly in 3 minutes. Had to repeatedly ask for room which we received at long last a little after 3 pm. ( arrived before noon) Then we had to wait an extra hour for them to find our luggage and bring it to the room. This meant a lot of lost time when time was of the essence in our trip. So, plan for this. Otherwise a great place. A lot of waiting in the cafe resto too. Hotel bar was top!

Cons: We checked in and there was hammering and drilling in the room adjacent to ours. I called the front desk and they told me there was no construction happening. I held up the receiver and they heard it. I was later told it would stop by 6p, but that did not help us because we were exhausted and wanted to rest earlier in the afternoon.

Cons: Dated facilities such as bathroom fixtures. Hotel exterior is being worked on, so all the windows are blocked. There is absolutely no view. If I had known there will be no view, I would have went with 2 other Marco Polo sister hotels on the same street for less money.

Cons: The pool wasn’t open ( under renovation) which was a bit of a bummer.

Cons: Somewhat inconvenient location (away from public transport, temporarily-cordoned-off locations due to close proximity to HKSAR Government Complex, requirement to walk to a different location in order to board ride-share vehicles.) Water faucets for both shower and bathroom sink had temperature-control issues. For example, when the temperature control knob is set to the center, it can become scorching-hot for several seconds before it drops to the intended temperature and then further dropping to a cold temperature before repeating the cycle around a half-minute later.

Cons: Room was just TOO SMALL! I felt I was in a cage.
