Terrible reception services

I was disappointed with my stay at Hengshan Garden Hotel. After I checked in, I found out the pool was not in use at all. A staff member told me that the pool was going through renovation and it would stay closed for another two months! There is no information about the pool closure on their website or on Hotels.com. This is cheating!! I booked the hotel for the pool! When I checked in at the reception, I clearly stated that there would be two guests. But I was told they could only give me one breakfast! the reason was that my partner hadn't arrived yet! My friend need to register with them before getting his breakfast. I couldn't get the logic of this. My first night was terrible. One light in my room couldn't be switched off. Although one engineer tried to help, but couldn't fix it! I didn't sleep well. The next day, I asked to swap a room. After waiting for hours, I did get one. But, the new room was a downgrade from my original booking. Surprisingly, there was no apology or sorry whatsoever from the hotel! Guest's sleep obviously doesn't matter at all. I was appalled by the attitude of the reception and the quality of their services. I guess they just don't know how to smile and how to say the word of \"sorry\" ! During my stay I did find the cleaners are very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is also quite good. It's quiet at night. However, the general stay was not that great.

I stayed here for 15 days and everything was great except there were reading paving in progress which led to a little inconvenience to the underground parking. Other that that, the location and the streets around the hotel are second to none. The back yard garden is definitely the best and rare to find among other 5 star hotels. There is a pond around the outdoor roofed resting place, surrounded with meticulously maintained plants and flowers. It is definitely the best part to enjoy your morning coffee or beers at night. The swimming pool was not open which didn't bother me. Overall I will choose to stay here again on my next trip.

I would question about the professionalism of the hotel manager. I did not manage to get to know his name unfortunately, but he was tall and spoke quite good English. While I was queuing to check in to the hotel, he apparently served another lady who was not in the queue and showed terrible cold attitude when assisting me with my check in.

Secondly, I had faced an issue in my hotel room where the soundproof between the different rooms was terrible. I was woken up by noises made by a couple staying in the room next to mine at about 12.29am. Even while having my earpiece on, I could still hear their private life that my mum and I had to request for a change of room at about 1.30am. There was no apologies as well for the inconvenience from the same manager.

Even though I had encountered all these issues, one good feedback was about the bell boys who were nice n helpful compared to my previous stay in this hotel.

Breakfast was average. Value for money a bit above average. It's huge alright. Good sporting facilities but almost everything need to pay. Tennis, Squash and Bowling. Bowling was a joke as most often it was closed. Need to pre-arranged for use. Even though swimming pool was free to use, website or when booking confirmed, should warn guest to bring swimming cap. Its compulsory otherwise no entry. They do sell caps there at a cost of over USD20. So a family of 4 of us need to fork out almost USD100 to use the pool. I'd stayed in over 100 hotels all over the world, this was my 1st incident!!
Apart from the above shortcomings, the hotel offered reasonable amenities, with good location. Only 20 minutes to Xu Jia Hui shopping district.

Check-in staff felt rather cold, unwelcoming, the staff have an attitude like they are better than their guests. No \"welcome\", no \"thank you\" from their staff.

What is the purpose of having bellboys that stand around that do not even assist with your luggage?

Overall, the place is clean but just felt way too sterile and impersonal.

When I asked they siad I had to stay in the more expensive room (＞$2000RMB per night) to qualify , which was stated in the sign. If I were to pay that much, I definitely won't be staying there. There was no recognition of my being a Gold member of the Regal Hotel group unlike my previous stays in Hong Kong. I definitely don't want to stay there again.

After a terrible start, saved by excellent Manager

Reception staff were abysmal and we had a terrible check in. They told us that they don’t have a contract with Hotels.com and that we would have to phone a travel agent and sort it out! After 20 minutes they ‘found’ our booking with no apology at all. (We’d had to put data roaming on which will have a cost implication). After writing about this on Hotels.com the Manager (Stephen) called our room to apologize and sent fruit and some chocolates, which was a very nice gesture.
Apart from this staff continued to be unsmiling and surly throughout our stay. We would have given service one star if it had not been for the Managers actions.
The hotel room has no personality but the bed is large and comfy. Annoying central system that controls all the lights/ TV/ air con only on one side of the bed, so the person without it can’t control their bedside light etc. extreme lack of plugs. All in one place - next to the large desk, so annoying for the person on the other side of the bed if they want to charge their phone/ use it as an alarm. Also compatible plug for hairdryer not near the mirror so you have to contort yourself to see in the mirror whilst you dry your hair!
Good cable TV with English speaking channels. WiFi good but a little patchy at times.
Breakfast was good. Lots of choice. Egg station for omelette/ fried egg. (Although expensive unless you get a deal through Hotels.com).
Less than 5 min walk to the metro which is very convenient and a taxi tank right outside.

Although the size of the room (Premier Room) is good enough for me, some furniture are running old. Mostly acceptable except the area lighting is kinda dim outside the toilet, and sound proofing is poor as I can hear my neighbours talking and I know they were not shouting. Otherwise, everything else including the staffs were mediocre, since you can't feel welcoming at all upon entering the hotel.

On the 5Th August morning a cleaner was sitting and having rest in the female toilet in the hotel lobby when I walked in.
after spotted a couple of toilets unflushed, I ended in the last one which is disabled accessible.
I was just about lock the door, that cleaner pushed it open and came inside, I was shocked and embarrassed, asked her to get out immediately.
The cleaner did not leave, instead, she said she wanted a vacuum tube which was stored inside this toilet room
I begged her to be out, come for the tube after I using the toilet.
She refused to leave still.
I said to her “are you mad?”, she yelled back “you are mad”
It was ridiculous, unbelievably happened.

Outdated and over priced

The hotel room looks really old and tired, like in 90's. The bath room has water leakage, the floor is flooded with water after shower. We switched several rooms and all have the same issue.
The breakfast is really bland, mix of local and western food. But nothing stands out.
The wall between rooms is very thin, so no sound isolation at all. Each midnight we were awakened by loud neighbours. The swimming pool is in another building through back door. As soon as you enter the building, you will immediately hit by a wall of foul smell of mold. We turned back and gave up swimming.

Facility is kind of old. I used the pool once and didn't want to go back again. First of all, the pool is not in the building, you have to go out in the back and enter into another building.
