Hotel pricing is somewhat on the high side, especially in the bar and spa areas, and the rooms are cozy (real estate speak for tiny). But then again, remember you're in Hong Kong where everything is compressed and more expensive. I say roll with it and give them a whirl.

Although this branch is small, it does have tellers, ATM and personal bankers. Jeffrey Lee Man-Min…read moreis a senior personal banker who has been helpful to us over the year. He speaks English really well, he is friendly and appreciative of our business. He always has time for me when I pop in to see him, make an inquiry or ask a question. I don't even live in Wan Chai, but feel loyal to Citibank and this branch because of Jeffrey. I am happy to take a subway ride to give my business to this branch.

Located on the 2nd floor of the Paradise Mall, you can access this location easily from the Heng Fa…read moreChuen MTR station. It's right across from the Bank of China, so it's pretty hard to miss. There's always plenty of staff on hand to help you out, people by the counters and in their offices. The staff I've interacted with are generally very polite, helpful, and friendly. There are occasionally long line-ups, but they typically move quickly, since there are many counters open at once. Another note, is that many elders visit this location, so there's a booth dedicated to helping the elderly, which I think is an incredibly thoughtful and caring touch.

If you are fortunate enough to be an HSBC premier customer, happen to be in the Wan Chai area, and…read moreneed to do some banking, I would thoroughly recommend that you visit the branch in the Convention Centre for your banking needs. This particular branch is only a premier centre, which means that, whilst it is much smaller, it doesn't have the high volume of traffic going through it, even though it is located at the Convention Centre. As such, you are likely to be seen very quickly, even during weekday lunchtimes, when it does get a little bit busier. The staff at the reception are incredibly friendly, but they annoyingly always ask for your bank card and ID card. I'm not sure if they're just checking to see that you are a Premier customer or not, but it is an annoyance. However, once you get past these guardians of the gate, it's a little bit more relaxed inside. You can even have a nice coffee, or help yourself to a handful of Mentos. Other then it being a slightly more pleasant atmosphere then some of the larger branches, this branch does pretty much what all the other ones do anyway. If you happen to be after a mortgage, I would recommend speaking to Kulio. He is an excellent mortgage advisor, and based in this Convention Centre branch. Conveniently, there is also an ATM lobby diagonally across from this branch. Of course this is open to all HSBC and other banking customers, so don't expect it just be for Premier customers. Even though I am now based in Central, I still go to this branch in Wan Chai for my banking needs.

The HSBC at Sha Tin Plaza is probably the one my family and I visit most often due to its location…read more- Sha Tin Plaza is connected to New Town Plaza, so you just have to take a series of footbridges to get there. On rainy days, this is great because you don't have to go out in the rain to go to Sha Tin Plaza, although the footbridges do tend to get slippery. If you're there to line up for the bank counters if you want to do deposits or whatever, be prepared to wait a REALLY long time. I have lined up for over fifteen minutes before - the wait is ridiculous! I guess this bank is just pretty popular because of its central location in Sha Tin. Customer service is great here. Upon stepping into the bank, you will be asked what services you require today and they'll either direct you to the queue or hand you a number. Today, I applied for a new credit card and had to wait for 8 numbers before my turn, which took about ten or fifteen minutes. The banking officer Reno was very friendly and efficient, and gave me his card in case I needed to contact him or ask him anything. One good thing about this branch is that there are quite a few cash withdrawals and deposit ATMs outside, meaning that there never needs to be much of a wait. On a different note, this bank is ridiculously cold, especially at the booth I was sitting at when I was applying for the credit card!
