Good value for Hong Kong but not so great location
reasonable price, modern and clean, friendly staff.
8.3
The Island Pacific Hotel is modern, clean and very reasonably priced by Hong Kong standards but falls short on one key thing - its location. Although it is located on Hong Kong island, it is a long way from an MTR (subway) stop (about 10-15 minute walk). That's the reason Island Pacific is cheaper than many other hotels. If you don't mind the extra walk, this hotel is a good choice, especially for travellers on a budget. However, if you're all about location, choose a different hotel.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
If it's your first time in Hong Kong, the following are must dos.
1. Take the Star Ferry from Central Piers over to TST to watch the Symphony of Lights light show at 8pm.
2. Go up the Peak for stunning views over all of HK. Warning: Be aware that it will be a lot busier at weekends, so go in the week if you can. And if it's raining, don't bother - you won't see anything!
3. Check out Mongkok for local culture. For women's clothes, shoes and jewellery, go to Fa Yuen street. However, not the stretch next to Ladies Market. Cross over Argyle Street and Mongkok Road and go from that part of Fa Yuen Street up to Prince Edward Road. Prices are set so no need to haggle. Walk around the bird markets and flower markets too.
4. Go on the HK tourism website and under things to do, check out the walking tours. These are not organised groups tours but detailed maps for tourists to follow on their own. They are good roads to see in the city. The best include Mongkok, the 2 in Central and the Wong Tai Sin one.

Great views, Great service

Very nice hotel with great service from the staffs. 7-11 and Circle K is just 2 mins walk from the hotel. Free shuttle service to Central (you can then take mtr from central to reach other parts of HK). Taxi is great (I'm travelling with my wife and my 4 years old daughter) to reach places in HK island (cheap and comfortable).
Travel tip:
Take the free shuttle service to central.
Take the tram (2 HKD)

The hotel is conveniently located in Western district with easy access to transport. A short 10 mins ride will lead you to Central business district. The staff is very courteous, and the rooms are clean and spacious.
