My 13 year old daughter and I stayed at the Nikko Hotel in Hong Kong for 5 nights. During that time, on 3 different occasions, she and/or I were walked in on by housekeeping. First a "man in a suit" walked in on my daughter while she was alone in the room. Next, a housekeeper walked in on both of us without waiting even 15 seconds after knocking. Third time was with me in the bathroom doorway just after a shower. A housekeeper walked in on me and obviously got a vision that will haunt her for the rest of her life! I complained to the hotel manager(s) who said they would take care of it, but they obviously didnt.
My daughter also went to "check out" the hotel pool, and ended up being followed by a male staff member the whole time who was well inside her personal space. It made her so uncomfortable that she refused to go back to the pool, even with me.
The concierge and desk staff weren't very helpful either. I asked for recommendation(s) for somewhere to eat, and they told me, "nothing is very good around here", and left it at that.
English is not very good with many of the staff as well.
We also were a definite minority at the hotel. It was jammed with hundreds of Japanese tourists milling around the lobby and the facilities. It was hard to get any help or use the facility amenities.
The restaurants were very expensive. The phone calls are not free. The business center was always busy, but cost $40 per 15 minutes use.
All in all, not a very happy experience. I could not recommend this hotel to anyone. I will not return. They call themselves a 5-star hotel. I'd say 3-stars at best.
With all the choices in Hong Kong, anyone would be better staying elsewhere.
