Review of Regent Hotel Hong Kong - A Fou...

Super pool. Hotel rooms a bit dated. But.... Proba...

Super pool. Hotel rooms a bit dated. But.... Probably one of the best pools.
Four stars given as the hotel has a ridiculous pricing point for its pool side drinks and food. And now for a rather long rant about it....

For example, a Tsingdao beer is HK$100, plus tax makes it HK$110. That's stupid. I'd certainly buy if it was priced more reasonably at HK$70-80. I appreciate it's poolside, but at the end of the day, it is cheap beer. Likewise the food options are some SE Asian styled street food dishes, yet prices at around HK$350. That's really not necessary. I understand many people leave the hotel for food and drink in the IFC shopping mall during the time they are at the pool and then return after. I can't imagine the hotel don't realise this fact, but really I don't see why they don't try to make the prices a little cheaper and then sell a lot more and probably then start to make a tidy profit, while in the meantime stop looking like greedy hoteliers.
