Just got back from Hong Kong a week ago. Stayed at Metropark Wan Chai for 3 nights. (August 25th – 28th, Summer 2011)

CONVENIENCE – The hotel is convenient and about 5 minutes walk away from Wan Chai MTR station and easy to get a cab as well. There are also bus stops outside the hotel if you know how to get about on bus. There are restaurants nearby (on the way to MTR station), 2 convenience store and 2 pharmacy. If you look at the map, Wan Chai is also in between Central and Causeway Bay, so getting to those 2 areas are only 1 to 2 stops away. I would give location and convenience 4 out of 5 stars.

COMFORT – Very comfortable bed and pillows. Easy access to lighting, switches at bedside table. Sleep wasnt a problem.

TOILET – All amenities available, towels are clean, shower cap, toothbrush etc all provided. Floor mats, hand towels, tissue, you name it, they have it. Shower was powerful and hot water was available, no complaints there.

NOISE – walls are kinda thin though and rooms are very near to each other, could hear neighbour going in and out of room, that was a little annoying.

OTHERS – hair dryer provided in cabinet, safe deposit box also available in wardrobe.

BREAKFAST – very good buffet breakfast downstairs, however same selections for 3 days. congee, salads, cereals, wide selection of bread and cheese. Favourite item is the croissant. Didnt like the fresh milk and coffee though.

COMPLAINTS – no wifi. i was really annoyed by this. when i booked the rooms, i thought it had free wifi, but my mistake, there was no wifi in room, only ethernet cable on study desk. Plus, i think you have to pay for it as well. We also stayed on 6th floor. Not sure if its because its summer, the hallway was musky, i didnt like the smell of it at all. Room smelled a little funky , but after a while you kinda get used to it.

CONCLUSION – i will not be going back to this hotel. Everything great except that for the price i pay for the room and no free wifi, i’m not pleased.

TIPS – If you do stay at this place and need internet connection, just walk down the street to HSBC, stand outside with your wifi device and you will be able to get the “HSBC_wifi” connection I was desperate and survived on that. Thank you HSBC!!
