"Great value Hotel"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
We stayed in this hotel in November 2005 and thought that it was really good value for money. We booked it through BA Holidays and it worked out at £100 each for a 7 night stay! We were in an executive room on the top floor, with really good views of the harbour, we could see all the ferries coming and going. The hotel room is quite small but we had plenty of space for all our stuff and the tons of shopping that we bought! We had a safe in the room and a mini bar/fridge. The bathroom was nice and the bath/shower were adequate. The shower was very powerful and had plenty of hot water day or night. The hotel toiletires were also very nice. The hotel staff are very helpful and polite.

Having just returned from Hong Kong for a weeks vacation, I would like to say my stay at the Island Pacific was great but...The rooms we had were way too small!. The was was very friendly and helpful, and went out of the way to make your stay enjoyable. After arriving at the hotel at 11PM local time after a 16 hour flight, we were assigned room 815, upon entering the room we were in a state of shock to find 2 twin beds in a room no larger then 10' by 10'. The next morning we requested a room change and assigned to Room 1816, which was a bit bigger. about 10' x 14' excluding the bathroom. We grew accustumed to the room. But the staff more then made up for it. Pleasant and helpful The hotel offers a all you can eat breakfast for $140HK doillars or approx. $20 US dollars. It was very nice. This hotel is very easy to get to, 1 block away from the Kennedy Town tramp line and several bus lines including the number 973 bus which goes directly to Stanley Market. This bus is a gtreat way to tour island on the cheap! If you are planning a stay in Hong Kong and don't mind the lack of space then the Island Pacific is ok to stay, but if you need more space then another hotel maybe of more interest to you or a more western style hotel. The fitness equipment needs updating. The outmoted treadmil, eliptical and bike all seem more window dressing then for actual use. The

We stayed one night in this hotel which we found excellent value for money. We booked through Asiatravel.com with a last minute deal it was $HK600 for the night. on arrival they did not have a standard room available so they upgraded us to an executive room on the harbourside. This I admit might colour my vision about our experience as the room was way above our expectation, large space, large firm bed ,large bathroom that was well fitted out and one of those showers to die for, you know the sort that propels you into the wall. The staff were genuinely nice all from the guys on the entrance on ground floor (which does not give a good first impression) right through to the reception staff and the concierge, they must have all been sent to smile school. Getting to the hotel was really easy. From the airport caught the MTR which took us to Hong Kong Central station (cost $HK180 about 35 minutes) from there we caught a red metred cab for $HK38 to the hotel close on five minutes. We could have waited for the shuttle bus from the hotel, or if we'd been real cheap skates taken the tram for $HK2. Its not advisable to do the latter as travelling on them with bags would be difficult getting on and off and its hot enough in them without having to labour with your luggage. You get in them from the back and exit the front paying the standard $HK2 for whatever the length of your trip. The location might not be to everyones taste as the retail in the area is firmly aimed at the local with dried fish parts seeming to be the only items for sale. Just up the road within 150 metres of the hotel is the Centre Street markets which are a typical Asian experience .ie very smelly and full of unusual items to eat. A real feast for the senses. We stayed here for a further one night on our way back from europe this time stayig n one of the standard side rooms and found it was still excellent value for money.
