DANGEROUS AND RISKY
I checkedvin today at 2 pm and i didn"t expect that my life will be in risk before taking the lift.i was standing near the lift when the wall they are thrying to fix at the lobby fell on.me and if i didnt move quickly, it might have hit my head whixh happebs to be very heavy, instead, it fell on my shoulder whoch until now i am suffering from psin due ti the heavy fall of the wall. The hotel diesnt secure the safety of guests and the workers on the renovation still keep on wirking even, there are guests who moght be in danger without gobing attention to their guests and put your life,at risk. I like,Wharney and ive been here so many times, but after my experience today...i eill nevee ever cone back again, and i will never recomnebd the hotel to my frirnds. I dont want my friend to be in danger...
Excellent customer relations, larger than average room for Hong Kong and only 15mins to Central
My experience at The Wharney has been very pleasant. With outstanding service in particular from two employees, Diana Tsang who deals with sales and corporate bookings and Martin Chu one of the senior managers. Rooms are larger than most hotel rooms in Hong Kong and simple in decor. There are good thick towels and crisp bedding plus Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries. If you have a lot of clothes ask for a room with a larger clothes rail! The hotel is less than a 5mins walk for the MTR or tram. There is a pier 10mins walk away to Kowloon side or if you want a lovely walk along the boardwalk to Central piers and the AIA wheel , that's about 20mins. The pool is lovely and gets sun for a good portion of each day. The fitness room adequate though very cold from the air conditioning. Breakfast is ok, again only adequate. I have been staying at the Wharney for three months during the Covid-19 pandemic and they have followed all the safety guidelines perfectly. While construction is going it won't affect your stay, higher floors are quieter. Though construction is only during the day-time hours, so unless you sleep during the day it isn't a problem. I'm on the 14th floor and never hear anything... I have now just extended my stay and would recommend staying here!
Rooms are great, staff are not very helpful.
I've chose to stay in this hotel for more than 13 times. I like the location a lot. the rooms are nice, modern and tidy but the staff I've encountered are generally not very eager to help, provide solution or provide any alternatives, especially the front office which are suppose to help but apparantly not doing so. Generally I'm very understanding regarding hotel experience but to have me write this negative review means I am quite triggered by the continuous mistreat and nonchalant from the front desk. Here are some issues I've had staying in this hotel 1. I knew there are noisy renovation work, Ived stayed before during the day. There are rooms that are more far away from the noisy work, which I really appreciate. Until one time, ive been assigned in a room that is too noisy to bear. I gave the front desk a call to request a room change to the other side of the corridor, which is furher away from the noisy work. And the answer I got from a staff was a simple “no, all the rooms are the same” which I knew it wasnt true. A direct no 2. I've always asked for a double bed when I check in. The answer is always no, they are full. Even during this time, when the tourism business is not as great, no sure how hey are full. After a few times, I stopped asking. And they will not tell you the bed type you've given during check in. until you went up to the room and find it out yourself, it is usually a twin. If you called to request a room change for a double bed, expect it to be a no. 3. The application in the TV in each room is not consistent. We enjoy watching netflix in the room but somehow not every TV in their rooms allow you to use that application even when it is installed already. And each time when we check in, we just hope and pray that the room TV has a working netflix. Mostly it is not working. We have talked to the front desk once regarding this issue during one of our stay previously. The solution was to wait until next day because the technician for this Netflix issue would be available the next day. which to me sounds like a complete bs trying to get me off the line. And we just let it go and didnt bother anymore. 4. Shower water temperature in the early morning is cold and takes 10 to 15 mins of running water to heat up. 5. This triggers me the most, bedding issue again and staff literally dont care. I always book on ctrip. And there are no option to chose a double or twin. I've seen on their official website, there are also no option to choose a twin or double. Like the first point on this review, it is always a no if you request a double. and They will always say your booking is a twin, they are full. Is it because we booked on ctrip and not directly through your website therefore we get this firm denial with zero flexibility everytime and we are seen as lower tier guests? it happens for a few times, okay I understand but it is every single time. Just today I made an extension of my stay in 1706, I called earlier before *noon* in hope to request to change to a double bed and wish that I wont get their standard “we are full you booked a twin answer” and yes I get that again. With no alternatives offered from the front desk after that standard answer, I suggested to have a room that we can combine the bed, that would be fine too. Well it is still a “no, the bed cannot be combined”. The attitude is like stop bothering me, this is what you get, take it or leave it. To sum it up. Nice room, poor service.
Noisy
It is originally a very good staycation and work stay. Then the construction work inside the hotel ruin everything and it was too noisy for my work meeting. The lounge was too small and not many choices for drinks and finger food.
Good place to stay in Wanchai
Good price quality relationship. Good to go out eating, drinking,(many choices down the street) or near most places downtown.MTR is just 2 min walk away. Tram is 2 streets away, the Pawn, Piers are 15 min walk away.
