Disappointing Stay Despite High Expectations
I recently stayed at the Hyatt on the Bund and, unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations in several key areas.
1. Uninformed Swimming Pool Requirements
Guests are required to wear a swimming cap to use the pool, but this was not communicated before arrival. This created unnecessary inconvenience.
2. Pearl Tower Room View Not as Advertised
I booked the Pearl Tower View room expecting a clear view of the landmark. Instead, the tower was barely visible unless I pressed my face against the window at the far edge. For the premium price, the view was very disappointing.
3. Non-Functional Heater
The room’s heating system did not work even at 32°C on maximum fan speed. The room remained cold throughout the stay, which eventually led to cold and flu symptoms—making the experience very uncomfortable.
4. Poor Location for Public Transport
There are no MRT or train stations within a comfortable walking distance, which made commuting inconvenient.
5. Extremely Slow Internet
Wi-Fi speed was terribly slow—often unusable, even for something as simple as a basic Google search.
