I stayed in this hotel for a few nights and had a great stay. The location is central and it is clean. My only grouse though, it's a fair bit of a walk to the nearest MTR and there is no free wi-fi.

Ok so the Island Pacific is in Sheung Wan and approx 5 minutes by cab, 10 minutes on the trolley to Central. Sheng Wan is much more of a local suburb so you see less tourists, and more locals which is nice. Hotel is failry modern, maybe mid 90's, rooms are decent size and well maintained. Outlook is plesant, either back up to the 'midlevels' or a view of the harbour.

You can easily book this hotel for around $100 a nite, which is good value for HK.

We stayed at this hotel for nine nights whilst we visted Hong Kong. The hotel was booked through British Airways. The hotel offers good quality, clean, air conditioned accommodation at a very good price.

I read the other reviews before visiting the hotel.

The hotel is a short distance from the Central District on Hong Kong Island. It is surrounded by small shops selling dried fish for Chinese medicine and food. The MTR station is a 15 minute walk away, a 5-10 minute tram journey or a 5 minute cab journey. The walk is free the tram costs 2 HK$ and a cab costs 16 HK$. A cab rank is situated outside the front of the hotel.

The hotel has a good atmosphere and appears well looked after. Towels are changed daily if you want that and our bed was changed every two or three days

The hotel perhaps try too hard to disguise the smell in the entrance dried fish from the street is is not that bad and you quickly get use to it. The hotel is situated in an older more authentic part of Hong Kong. It was this that we particularly liked. the bigger hotels around the Central Hong Kong Island and on Kowloon lacked this.

The staff are friendly, helpful and approachable. It is a good idea to get a member of staff to write out the address of the hotel in Cantonese as cab drivers rarely understand English. They do understand `keep the change though!`

The only downside to the hotel is the cost of meals and drinks at the bar. The meals all appear to be buffet style and quite expensive for what they consist of. Dinner costs around 268HK$ We ate out during our visit. There are lots of places to eat, everything from McDonalds to local Chinese cafes and restaurant's offering cheap, hot, nutritious local food.The cost of two medium sized draught lagers at the hotel bar is around 92HK$. This is the standard price in bars and restaurants around Hong Kong.

There is a very wide selection of restaurants varying from the good valued to fine dining experiences at the top end.

A good hotel that I would be happy to recommend and use again ourselves.

Stayed at the Island Pacific for three nights following a two night stay at the Peninsula whilst in HK for a wedding. After a stay in the Pen, expected to be disappointed but was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms are on the small side and there is a strange smell in the lobby (mixture of soap and fish). However, the rooms are undergoing an upgrade and ours had a flat screen TV on the wall as well as updated decor in comparison to rooms which had not been updated.

Overall good value for money.
