I was pleasantly surprised by the Lan Kwai Fong Hotel. I had asked, and paid for an upgarde although the lady at the front desk said she had already upgraded me, but i felt the room I had booked was going to be too small. The location is good and bad: it is in the middle of the Sheung Wan district in Hong Kong, in a very crowded area with a lot of construction. Surprisingly it was not noisy except for the guest next to me. The good part is, if you are familiar with Hong Kong, it is near to a lot of restaurants and classically Hong Kong. If you are not familair with Hong Kong it could be overwhelming.
The staff was charming and helful. There is only one restaurant, breakfast was pretty basic. It could have been improved although the waiters were also very helpful.
The room and facilities were quite spacious, after the upgrade. But it is in need of a renovation, because the furniture was chipped. Honestly if they do renovate, they should change the curtains to something less glarish, even if it is not in accordance with the Chinese theme of the place. The present curtains give it an impression of not being completely clean (although the cleanliness was fine). The bathroom was very small, and can do with a renovation by putting a shower instead of a bath, and a shower curtain that is see through.
Overall I was quite happy with the atmosphere and the service. I think the staff made the place. Kudos to JoJo, with her smile greetings you in the morning.
