We booked 2 rooms at the rate of HK$1800+ per room. The rooms were very much inferior and smaller compared to HKDL hotel (rate was 1980) though the rates were comparable. The normal price of this hotel is about HK$750 but the price shot up because of the 7 a side Rubgy Match over the weekend. No choice because all the hotel rooms near Causeway Bay and Tin Hau were fully booked. Would say the rooms at this hotel are the smallest in this entire trip. We were given connecting rooms.
Island Pacific Hotel
Our rooms were on the 9th floor.

The smallest twin bedroom in this entire trip. This is a superior partial sea view room with nice french windows. There is both seaview and street view. But the room is quite cramped and there was not much walking space once our big luggage was opened up.
Partial Sea View - not too bad. Better than none. We have the best of both worlds - street as well as sea view.
Mini Bar/Tea & Coffee
Phone and radio
Sink area - the bathroom is very cold
Adequate tioletries/amenities
They converted two twin beds into a king size bed upon request. Service was prompt.
Hotel gave us a fruit basket. The fruits were very sweet!
Hotel Lobby on the first floor. Half hourly shuttle service on ground floor. The hotel provides complimentary shuttle to Sheung Wan MTR Station, Star Ferry, HK & Central MTR Station. Most of time, we would take the free shuttle to Sheung Wan. On the way back, we will normally take the MTR to Sheung Wan MTR station before transferring via Ding Ding to hotel. There were two shuttles at 10am and 4pm that go to Lower Tram Peak Terminus.

The area around the hotel is very local and there are many eateries, shops and market. Actually, this area is famous for its seafood like dried scallops and sharkfin.
Around the hotel - Des Voeux Road West
Centre Street 正街 Plenty of eateries, wet markets and shops along this road which is on a steep slope. There were 2 escalators leading to the wet market. Cars are prohibited at the steep slope around third and second street. Quite a lot of interesting sights to behold if you can stand the smell and stench.
