Harbour 10 Hotel

A humble clean hotel albeit in a relatively distant location from the main city. The staff were kind and very accommodating. The rooms were large and the property offered complimentary breakfast buffet. We were delighted to see that they change dishes by the hour depending on what choices are eaten up! Overall this was extremely attractive considering the price for one night is

Reading other reviews, I understand what guests have said about the smell in the lobby and outside floor level elevators. It smells musty and like sewer. I’m not sure if that within the hotel’s control? The room definitively did not have the same smell. We had a fabulous view of the river, which is beautiful during the day and exceptional at night with all the lights. The room was spacious and well-equipped. My only issue with the room was the central air conditioning was set to a very cold temperature. Leaving it on was much too cold, and turning it off was much too warm, and then muggy. We really loved the room regardless and the location was amazing. Proximity to the pier to walk around and take the ferry to Cijin was great, plus a walk up and down the river was lovely. Lots of spots to get food, night markets, and walk to metro stations as well. We consider a great location 15-30 min walk to the things we like or need. Front desk staff was kind and efficient, allowing us to check in early as well as store our bags after check out. I would stay here again for location alone, but the buffet breakfast was not good. Skip it - there are some great local spots within 5-10 min walk for a fraction of the cost and better quality.

This is the type of hotel that looks good in photos but turns out being a slightly different experience than what you would expect. I don't think that this hotel should be listed as a 4-star online, this is at best a 3-star hotel. The staff was not particularly friendly; if anything, they were a bit snobbish (we asked at one point if their hotel would accept lucky land vouchers and the receptionist turned up their nose at us and seemed disgusted that we would ask) which was surprising considering the facilities. The rooms were very dark and felt humid. The space was limited in the hotel. The rooms appeared to be cleaned but I felt concerned after seeing recent reviews talking about bugs and infestations which created some anxiety. Luckily, we didn't have issues but I would likely not revisit this hotel in the future. There was a washer/dryer available on site however, limited facilities meant it was always taken up and there was a line for them. There was poor sound isolation in the rooms and we constantly heard people in the hallways. The price paid is not really worth what you get in return, I would suggest to pass.
