This is an old, established hotel in Hong Kong, and while it's been around for a while, its location and room size are definite strong points. The breakfast and evening cocktails at the Horizon Club offer exceptional value and quality, especially for Hong Kong.
Tony, who handled our check-in on the 20th floor of the Horizon Club, left a particularly deep and positive impression. His professionalism and service attitude were outstanding, perfectly showcasing the expertise and high standards expected of a five-star hotel employee. His gentle smile and warm demeanor truly enhanced our trip to Hong Kong.
However, there were also some negative experiences. On September 7th, a young female usher at the breakfast restaurant on the second floor had a very cold attitude. After we told her our room number in Chinese, she acted as if she didn't understand. Only after we repeated it in English did she acknowledge us, leading us to our table expressionlessly. Ironically, when she asked what we wanted to drink, she spoke fluent Chinese.
I lived in London for two years, and even British service staff wouldn't have an attitude like hers. Furthermore, Hong Kong has been reunited with China for 20 years; if she can't even understand a room number, it suggests she's not suited for service work in a hotel. I don't understand why the Shangri-La Hong Kong would employ such staff. I will also be sending an email to Shangri-La headquarters to complain.
Aside from this one flaw, everything else was excellent.
