“Excellent Hotel”

InterContinental Grand Stanford

8/8 found this review helpful

Recently arrrived back from a weeks stay at the IC Grand Stanford, and was more than pleased with our stay. We searched and read many reviews on trip advisor before settling upon this hotel.

It is in a ideal location the rapid ferry to the habour is bang outside, few minutes walk down the road is the tube station.

It is located away from the hussle and bussle where the other IC hotel is located, it still isnt cheap this hotel, but I would deff recomend this over the other. The rooms are styled to me more traditional than modern, the bathroom was also excellent. The maids can not so enough for you and still do your room if you said you were fine!!

We were room only which was fine, as there is a starbucks , Deli france and a diner called "Charlie Browns" which is 2mins away and you can get whatever you want from there. I would recomend if you are planning a day around the pool to nip to charlie browns for dinner alot cheaper than the hotel and they do really good sandwiches.

The pool is very nice and has plenty of very comfortable sun beds, you can get free water from the cooler at the entrance to the gym and you take out to the pool, also free fruit is avalible which was a nice touch. The staff also bring you free ice water every so often whilst you sun bathing. One thing I would say is dnt order fresh fruit jucie around the pool one orange juice cost me £6...

Hong Kong - you could do it in less days but you would be very rushed. Alot of the shopping malls have very exclusive brands in, so unless you are wanting Prada etc I would recomend just going to the Harbour city mall in kowloon.

Resturants - The Gaylord indian resturant is a must very cheap and excellent food, we ate there twice. Also the Aku I think it was called a Japanse resturant just down from the hotel in the TST mall.

The Peak is worth a visit on the Island, if you go there have a meal in the italian resturant which has fairy lights outside, very nice surroundings and good prices.

The big budda is a must - you can arrange this yourself, get the tube to tung chung I think it was. (its the last stop anyway) from Kowloon and then get the cable car if its working or the coach which is only 30hkd and take about 50mins. I wouldnt recomend the veggie lunch, even though the setting is good and you eat with the monks, its very very traditional chinese food.

The markets are a must to pick up a bargin or two... you will get asked by every stall you pass to buy, but just say no and walk on and they are fine. I would say knock off 50% what they offer you, unless it is artwork or something where you can see alot of time has gone into it.

“bathroom smell”

0/4 found this review helpful

This hotel doesn't have family room, With two teenagers, we had to book 2 rooms cost us $340 per night (room only, no meal) form advance booking. My friends paid $550 per night. The two non-connecting rooms we got on the 4th floor were both really smelly. The sewage smell backed up to the room the minute we flushed the toilet. We were disappointed with the price we paid and the hotel offered us rooms that smelled like a public toilet as my teenagers described. The hallway carpet smelled bad too.
On Saturay night, while walking to the elevator, we were choked by the strong gust of smoke coming from the first floor bar. It was unreasonably loud and smoky but nothing was done by the hotel to regulate the noise and the smoke. Half of the first floor including public waiting seating area covered with smoke.
I had mentioned to the front desk while checking out but I don't see them even care. My family and friends will not go back to Grand Stanford anymore. Everything tends to be overpriced in Hong Kong right now.
We had traveled 12 different countries and found that we got 500% better service, better price and better quality in Taipei. Although Europe can be expensive too but Paris and Rome are worth every penny; food is great, service people are graceful and cheerful, never rushing customers to eat faster like Hong Kong waitors/waitresses.

“Fantastic hotel for the whole family!”

InterContinental Grand Stanford

5 of 5 stars
Sydney, Australia
Jul 14, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

What a fabulous hotel in a great location. As said on many other reviews, a club room is a must. The views of the harbour light show are spectacular from both the room itself and the club room on the 17/18 floor. This it what made it fantastic- a room for free drinks, snacks, afternoon tea, happy hour or even ice cream after dinner open from 7am until 11pm. After a hot day out , it was like coming home to a friend's house for tea.The staff were freindly and helpful. The rooms were made up efficiently and on turn down one was always asked if anything else was required. I was travelling with my husband and 2 kids aged 5 and 7. With a club room, breakfast is included which can last you all day. You also get free internet/ broadband connection in your room.Very close to the MTR station, space and Science Museam and only a few short stops by train to all the markets. If travelling with kids I would definitely stay here and would not stay over in Hung Hom as shuttle buses and kids just don't mix!

“Loved the Grand stanford”

InterContinental Grand Stanford

5 of 5 stars
Cleveland
Jul 4, 2007
6/7 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Grand stanford for 4 nights in May to celebrate my Husbands 50th birthday. From the minute we entered the hotel we were made to feel welcome. We were automatically upgraded to a club class room, with a view of Victoria harbour that was to die for. One whole wall was a window, giving the room a WOW factor as soon as you entered. The room itself was large, allowing plenty of space for the two queen size beds. The bathroom was beautiful with plenty of fluffy towels. The location of the Grand stanford is convenient for all the usual sights in Kowloon and there is a terminal for a fast ferry over to Central on Hong Kong Island directly opposite.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

“Stay for the view!”

InterContinental Grand Stanford

5 of 5 stars
Vienna, Austria
Jun 3, 2007
6/7 found this review helpful

We booked a harbour view room, got upgraded due to the Ambassador status, and received an Executive room. WHAT A VIEW! we spent evenings only staring out of the window. We simply loved that part of our trip, and advise anybody to spend a little more on the harbour view.
Bed and all services were great. The bathroom was small, but I think this is normal in HKG.
Shuttle bus works perfectly, around the corner you find many places to eat (Sticky Fingers was our favorite), and although many state that the Hotel is in Kowloon, we would chose it again just BECAUSE it is there!
Stay if you can afford the rather high price - which is worth the view!
