We stayed for one week to visit family and friends. With the plane arrival at 11pm, we opted for an airport transfer through hotel concierge. It was well worth the money. With two young sleepy children in our arms, we were greeted and driven to the hotel, then straight up to our room bypassing the check-in desk. It was a simple matter of getting our credit card number and signature before we turned out the lights. Breakfast at the hotel proved to be a bit of an ordeal with the kids running around, so subsequent mornings we just popped down to Pacific Place for breakfast. We needed an extra bathtowel one day and the response to the housekeeping call was within minutes.
I think the hotel is for people who already know the excellent HK transport system well. Admiralty is the central station of HK where the underground trains, bus and taxis meet but you are not really within walking distance of any of the tourist attractions.

Loved the hotel. I stayed there using my Marriott points so I can't comment much on the price. But the rooms were superb-- I even had goldfish in my suite. With status, they delivered free fruit and jasmine tea at checkin. They also give you a bottle or two of free water. All the staff was very nice. The location is amazing-- actually adjacent to wonderful (very pricey) mall where you can grab a bite to eat and wander. It is also right above the train station so you can get around the city soooo easily. From the airport, take the Airport Express train to Hong Kong, and then take the train to Admirality. (By the two different types of tickets at the airport). After you get off the train, follow the signs to the Pacific Place mall and you'll see the entrance to the hotel right inside the mall. An easy train commute if you don't have much luggage. Enjoy HK!

At check in we decided to upgrade to an executive floor room, for $800 HKD a night + 13% tax. Executive floor is normally 31-35 floor, but because of "some renovation" they had moved the floor to 20-22. Lounge still on 33-35.

Fair enough, was our first reaction, until we got to the room and discovered that it was a standard room. Small and awkwardly laid out to facilitate the "every room is a corner room" style. Meant the entry to the room was narrow and not ideal for luggage storage.

Bathroom was a decent size and well stocked. Necessary magnifying mirror was in place so this guest was happy.

Not so happy to be disturbed multiple times during the night due to a child screaming in the next room, that followed next morning with the commencement of "renovation" before 9am. Now we had accepted a lower floor room to avoid this noise but we still got it so a room change was required.

Eventually got a new room at 6pm. This was a harbour view room on the 15th floor. Room the same as before, view nothing to write home about.

Lounge was a decent size, low ceilings, overly bright (spoiling the wonderful harbour view from this height) and noisy. Some residents seemed never to leave and to almost hold court in the lounge which was intimidating.

Breakfast spread in the lounge was ok, afternoon tea was provided in the lounge (which we didn't take up), hors d'oeuvres also and cocktails as well as night time chocolates.

Must mention though that this was the first executive floor we'd stayed on where we did not have the option to have breakfast in the main dining room or the lounge. Would have liked to have had the option.

Lounge staff in the food area could be brusque but other lounge staff were wonderful.

Swimming pool was overlooked by the "Fish Bar" restaurant which meant that swimming and sunbathing area was not private. This was most obvious when a wedding reception was held in the Fish bar with some of the wedding guests animatedly watching the sunbathing hotel guests.

Some of the hotel facilities, sauna etc were closed for the renovations, which when coupled with the noise, means that this hotel does not merit a 5* rating at this time.

Location is excellent, proximity to MTR etc very convenient. was our room worth an extra $800 HKD a night? No.

I was there only one night for a business and didnt use much of the facilities. But I love the room very much. It is very nicely decorated. I was again upgraded to the harbour view room which was very nice. Very romantic.
