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.

we booked our stay through british airways and got it really cheap, was expecting a tiny room but it wasn't actually that small and had a great view over the harbour. the maid came every day and changed the towels, room was very clean, beds comfy, nothing to complain about.
it was a little bit further away from the nearest MTR station than would have been ideal, especially in the heat we had, but it's still only 15 minutes if you don't walk too fast. some of the reviews i read said the lobby smelled of fish, we didn't notice it in the hotel though, only on the street outside, but it wasn't terrible.
all the staff were very friendly and helpful, the buffet breakfast was good too, loads to choose from. would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in hong kong on a budget and doesn't mind a little walk!

My boyfriend & I stayed at Island Pacific Hotel for 5 nights. Bear in mind to take down the chinese name of the hotel so as to show the taxi driver on arrival at Hong Kong Airport Express station. The chinese name is "太平洋酒店". My BF & I did not know the chinese name of the hotel and asked the Airport Express customer service counter staff for direction. He wrote the hotel name in chinese on a piece of paper but we were actually brought to a hotel in Wanchai (South Pacific Hotel). [To side track a bit, the hotel staff in South Pacific Hotel were REALLY NICE. Not only did they help us to get a taxi, they told the taxi driver our destination, wrote it in chinese for us and even carried our luggages onto the taxi! Impressive service!!]

Anyway we got to Island Pacific Hotel and checked in at about noon. The room is really clean and the view from the room was great. We requested for a room on the higher floor and was given one on the 25th! That's the highest for their standard room so it's really good. There's a hotel shuttle bus so we took it out, you can check for the timings at the concierge.

The hotel staff are really friendly and polite. They are really helpful as well! The hotel, although not strategically situated, it is just a very short tram ride from Central! Every morning, we will take either the tram or a cheap bus ride towards Central or to Sheung Wan MTR Station and start shopping away!

If you are on a budget, the hotel area offers great budget local breakfasts as well.

I gave the hotel an "above average" rating instead of excellence because of one incident. Unfortunately and fortunately, there was a thunderstorm one morning when we were in the hotel. Thank goodness we were in the hotel, the area around the hotel was flooded! I guess it's due to the lower ground the hotel was built on, we were actually unable to leave the hotel. It was 8am when we were awake. The water level was at knee level at 7am I heard? Then it subsided to ankle level at around 9am. We stayed indoor till noon. The hotel staff did all they could to stop the water from getting into the hotel lobby. There were sand bags, towels and blankets everywhere! And we were stuck as it was almost impossible for cars to get to the hotel entrance. I was just a little disappointed that they had cancelled the shuttle service for the day due to the flood. The tram service was down as well.

Other than this incident of the black thunderstorm & flood which caused the morning to be rather wasted, the hotel is a great place to stay in!

We arrived in a Thunderstorm amidst the worst rain on record for this area. Luckily the Taxi was able to pull into the area to the rear of the Hotel entrance to let us out. The Staff were very helpful and by the time we had checked in at reception, which was on the first floor, our bags were outside our rooms. A small problem with the keycards but that was soon sorted. The rooms, on the 8th floor, were a bit small for a 10 night stay but were clean and the bed was comfortable. The side harbour view was as expected albeit the continual downpour dimmed the views somewhat. The room was cleaned everyday and the sheets and towels were changed daily too. The Bathroom was tidied daily but was not mopped out daily as I would have liked.
It was good to have a mini bar fridge in the room, which I used to store water and stuff, which the hotel did not seem to mind.
The buffet breakfast was more than adequate with a wide choice of food. (HK$140)
There are 3 lifts that I knew about, only one of which went to the pool which was outside on rear of the hotel. Poolside loungers and mattresses were provided as you arrived, as were towels.
When we checked out we were able to leave our luggage with the bell hops and when ready to leave for the airport they were most helpful in hailing a cab for us and loading our luggage.
