We stayed at the Grand Stanford Intercontinental for 6 nights during President's week in February. I loved everything about this hotel. It was truly a 5 star hotel at a 4 star price. We paid 1630 HKD/room/night for a rate that included breakfast. We took 2 rooms because we were traveling with our 3 children. I looked into many other hotels before we booked the Grand Stanford and it was literally half the price of the other major chains like the Marriott and the Sheraton and the other Intercontinental. At the Grand Stanford we could have paid 1400 HKD/room/night if we didn't have the breakfast included but I'm so glad we chose to. The buffet breakfast every morning was amazing. The food was so varied and delicious that even after eating it for 6 days in a row we missed the food when we got home! It really filled you up for the day. It is about a 10 minute walk to the Star Ferry and about an 8 minute walk to Nathan Rd but we are good walkers and we walked miles and miles a day so the little bit extra didn't bother us at all. I was really impressed that when we checked in and went up to our rooms they were adjoining as requested and the door was opened between the two. I had emailed the hotel in advance about this and it really showed me that somebody was listening. Also the week we went the pool happened to be closed for maintenance and I spoke with the management about this because my children were really excited about swimming in the rooftop pool. They did their best to make it up to us. They paid for a cab there and back to the sister Intercontinental hotel and we used the pool there. They also bought us dinner for our trouble and I though that was VERY generous of them. We decided to prebook their car from the airport to the hotel for 650 HKD and it was waiting for us when we arrived. That was a nice plus but you can easily take a cab for roughly half the amount. You can't go wrong either way - I thought it was great that the person who met us outside of customs brought bottled water for us - what a nice touch! We booked a 1/2 day city sightseeing tour from Able tours which was the in house tour operator of the hotel. It was a relaxing thing to do on our first day there and pretty reasonable - about 30 USD per person. We were upgraded to a harbor view room because we are Ambassador Club members. The view was amazing! The beds were super comfortable and the bathrooms were marble and very lovely. We loved our visit to Hong Kong and we loved coming back to this wonderful hotel every night to rest our tired feet! I highly recommend the Grand Stanford Intercontinental . Great stay!!!!

My room was on the 10th floor overlooking the harbour. The view during the day was good, but not brilliant due to the Hong Kong haze. But at night it is spectacular. You can't see the main skyscrapers at the western end of the island, but there are plenty of other buildings that are part of the impressive 8.00pm lightshow.
The room itself was very spacious, the king size bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was a good size. The room had everything you would ever need in a hotel room. The staff were very polite and helpful.
I can't give any negative points about the hotel itself, but it was a fair walk to the Star Ferry pier at TSE, but as taxis are so cheap, there is always that option.

Stayed here a few times on business, nice hotel, have stayed at the Eaton and Royal Garden also. Royal Garden my fave only cos of the fab new refurbished rooms on top floor and amazing roof top pool. But Grand Stanford a fave amongst my colleagues, Western hotel, good brekkie, typical cheesy singers entertaining the guests in Tiffanys Bar in an evening, great foyer for meetings, nice afternoon tea, nice rooftop pool but smaller than the neighbours, comfy bed i slept well (6th floor and above)....

The hotel's location is very good, the view from the windows is really nice. HOwever the rooms are quite small, they are clean and confortable. The bathroom is small, but also clean and okay. The breakfast is nice, no complaints :-) I would definitely recommend it for business trips!
