Ok, I will admit, the views from Sky100 are pretty awesome. 360 degree views of Victoria Harbor, old Hong Kong, and the cityscape itself are gorgeous, granted you go on a clear day that allows you to see all these things.
There's a Sky100 App that you can download for your smartphone also that lets you go around the observation deck and take some gimmicky photos, but that is mostly just for funsies. The real views are even better.
In comparison to other observation decks, such as the one at the Empire State Building, Sky100 has a much larger space, and is much cleaner, which was refreshing. Also, they have free wi-fi. Just saying!
My two main gripes though, are 1) price, and 2) the service.
It's about 150HKD for one person, which comes out to around $20USD per person. And I know that this is cheaper than tickets for the Empire State Building, and about comparable to tickets for the Sears Tower Sky Deck, but there is still part of me that is like, "Why does it cost $20 for me to ride an elevator up 100 floors to go look at the city?" I know, I know, the view should justify the price and all that, and I'm not saying that the ticket prices at any of these other observation places is warranted, but the cheap side of me still feels like the price is a little steep.
My second problem is the service. Not with everyone-- there were some employees here who were lovely. My main gripe is with the people who were working the tickets sales desk. I realize that the language barrier thing might have resulted in some of the discomfort, but honestly, is it really necessary to roll your eyes at a patron when he misunderstands what you are saying? Especially if you are speaking in broken English. Not hating at all on that fact either. English may not be your first language, which is perfectly fine, but if you are working in the service industry, at least have some courtesy for visitors who are trying to communicate with you, despite how difficult it may be at times. Also, don't start talking smack about your customers in Cantonese after they leave. Because while my dad may not speak Cantonese, he can understand it, and that's exactly what you did to us. So shame on you.
tl;dr: Gorgeous views if you're willing to pay.
