InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong by IHG

Great location on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong and many good restaurants within walking distance. The room was very comfortable and the beds were great. The shower produced strong water pressure and remained nice and hot. The cafe on M restaurant in the hotel did not leave a good impression, especially the breakfast buffet. The food presentation was all over the place and very unappealing. Even the dim sum lacked flavor. The western dishes were equally unappealing and the bacon tasted like beef jerky and chewed as if it cardboard. The breakfast rolls were cheaply done as if they came from some 7/11 store close by. Whatever I tried was a disappointment. I cannot figure out why people have given it such good ratings. I asked for sparkling water but that was an extra charge so I declined. Water would be included in the buffet price in my opinion. The only thing I could recommend was the coffee from the machine. The buffet at $35 US dollars was not worth it and should be avoided. There are too many other good restaurants close by the hotel where one can get a decent breakfast. The bar on the lobby level served decent to good snacks and the service is both friendly and knowledgeable. A good place to unwind with friends. The Chinese restaurant on B2 serves very good food but it is not cheap. I ordered a half crispy chicken with a bowl of white rice and my bill was $50US. There is also a tea place either sweets off the lobby level and the desserts were pretty bad. It felt as if they had a spot off the lobby they did not know what to do with so they created a tea and cookie station. Minus the food issues the hotel is in an ideal location and service is both prompt and correct. A good choice for a Hong Kong stay.

I had the wonderful opportunity to stay at this hotel in June 2025. I had visited this hotel with a year old infant, the staff were very accommodating with my needs. I was given an early check-in because of the baby. The front desk were very helpful with everything, they go out of their way to help guests. The breakfast was fantastic on all days, they have ample vegetarian options which made me happy. I would like to thank all the staff members of the restaurant they were very helpful, they were even suggesting things to try in their breakfast menu. The location where it is located is very convenient as I had a few vegetarian restaurant in walking distance for me which helped with dinner for a few days. Also the street right across the hotel has McDonald's, 7 Eleven's, etc. Its a excellent location for high end shopping. I would definitely recommend this stay if anyone is looking to stay in Tsim Sha Tsu Area.

First time back here in 9 years. Still a wonderful hotel with lovely staff. We had an executive room as usual. Bed amazingly comfortable. |Club lounge has moved if you haven’t been for a while. It used to be upstairs with a lovely view of the river. Unfortunately that is now a restaurant and the club lounge is in the basement. Food is still good quality however if you are a champagne over it has now been replaced with a good quality Prosecco. My only real gripe and it is a big one - is that they insist on having the aircon on high!!! This is not just my opinion as I spoke to several other people. It makes it a less comfortable place to relax (perhaps it is on purpose to ensure you do not linger)

This is regarding our recent stay at your esteemed InterContinental hotel. During our stay, we encountered an issue where we found a cockroach in our room. We immediately informed your Duty Manager about the same. She acknowledged the concern and assured us that a compensation of 40,000 IHG points would be credited to our account. However, we would like to bring to your attention that we have still not received the said points. We kindly request you to please look into this matter and arrange for the pending points to be credited at the earliest. We have always chosen InterContinental for its service standards, and we hope this issue will be resolved promptly. Thank you for your assistance. Looking forward to your early response.

As young travelers in our 20s/30s, this hotel was not ideal in terms of location. Bit of a walk to the red line TST station, which is going to take you to a lot of the touristy hot spots. Even to the nearest bus stop(s), it was not that close. It is convenient if you are taxiing to and from the airport though. The hotel does have pretty good service, especially with your luggage. I appreciated all the staff that helped with that, especially loading from vehicles as well. The room itself was fine. Some aspects of the hotel are a bit dated, it has that old school feel.

My problem with the Grand Stamford, is that I have been before. Fifteen years ago, I stayed in a harbour view room, with the club lounge option the same as I did this week. So, I know what it used to be like. I wrote a glowing review on this site and I loved every moment of my stay. It was old-school, colonial (can we still say that?) luxury, with big rooms, generous and impeccable service in the lounge and amazing facilities, including an infinity pool with cocktail bar overlooking the harbour. It was perfection. ||Now, I can’t say that this recent stay was anything less than wonderful, but, it wasn’t as good. There was a refurbishment a few years ago, and, like many things in life now, you just don’t get quite so much for your money. The room was lovely, comfy, quite large, but it wasn’t as big as it used to be, the furnishings are not as luxurious, the fixtures and fittings are more pedestrian, and the shower is smaller. The club lounge, once a big, bright and airy space with free-flowing wine in the afternoon, has been moved to a windowless box in the basement, with only soft drinks in the afternoon. The staff there are good, but not as attentive as before (depending on which team members were on), the branded drinks and cocktail menu from a previous time have been replaced by basic spirits (Smirnoff and Gordon’s…!) and, to be fair, quite pleasing wine. The food selection in the lounge is also reduced, but, it is nonetheless excellent, with full compliments to the chef(s). ||The leisure facilities were sadly a bit of a let down. The beautiful infinity pool has gone (why would you do that…?) as have the cocktails that went with it. I don’t recall if there was a sauna or steam room before, but there is not one now, which seems quite a big missing attribute for a ‘luxury’ hotel. ||All things aside, I had a fantastic time at the Grand Stanford. It’s an amazing hotel, with excellent staff and some good facilities. But, sadly, it’s not nearly as excellent as it used to be.

From the moment we arrived, the location was perfect; right on the waterfront of Victoria Harbour, with easy access to MTR/Buses, shopping, and restaurants. Our Suite Skyline Harbour View room was spacious and comfortable, offering beautiful nighttime skyline views. Moreover, We found the hotel and its staff to be very family-friendly: clean room, quiet nights, and amenities that made travel with a child easier and more relaxing.

Stayed here for one night, check in was quick and efficient. The room is spacious and clean but a bit dated. However, the exceptional service provided by the housekeeper Winnie had made the stay perfect. We’ve requested extra canned water. When Winnie delivered the water to us, she had noticed we finished our in room dining food and she proactively offered to remove the tray and cutleries for us. This small touch is truly impressive and her mind to care to details had truly made us happy. It’s really 5* service. Thanks to Winnie, we would be happy to come back again.

We just checked in after visiting Japan. Very nice rooms and they were so nice they upgraded us to a room w a view on Victoria Bay and room. Worth the money for sure. Service is good and people are very friendly. Da Nang see you in two week:!

This has been, and remains, my favorite IC hotel along with the IC in Buenos Aires. In spite of recent events, I honestly feel safer here than in my home city of Chicago...any day. The lounge staff are exceptional. Every time that I return here I feel like I am seeing family. I honestly hope guests are not discouraged from coming. As usual, international media "news" over dramatizes events. Mimi, Trixie, Angela, Alex. Sebastian and many others make every stay an outstanding experience. This will always remain a genuine place of rest, tranquility and renewal. Dr. Erick J. Mann, PhD Professor of

I love to wander around in Central, but absolutely stay here at the Kowloon side GS Intercontinental for the best views ever. The buffet is great and the club lounge and staff ROCK! Make sure your room type has the harbor view- you will have a Picasso to watch each evening! Lots of local restaurants and shopping this side too- back next month with more pics to post here! -Enjoy!

it's a nice location, walking distance from everything. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is delicious. THEY SPEAK ENGLISH,

This is a large hotel in quiet waterfront area of Kowloon, so lovely views are available. The customer service is impeccable. The buffet is excellent. I prefer the lunch buffet, as the breakfast is simple, but lunch has all the same dishes as dinner, for a better value. The bar/lounge had a nice band, but very masculine, dark with low ceilings, and thus not an ideal place to have fun.

Very old hotel, took long to process check inn, rooms are old to match intercont standards.

Stayed here for 7 nights and was by far, the best hotel experience I have ever had. The hotel and property was pristine, service 5 star, rooms immaculate, views fantastic, food outstanding, and beds so comfy it was better than sleeping in my own bed. Service at your fingertips at this great hotel. The rooftop pool has great views, lovely and lit up at night and energizing in the morning before breakfast. The pool and gym attendants were very professional and friendly. Pool side shower before you take your dip. Full showers with lockers directly inside for your use. Breakfast buffet is one of the best I have had. American/standard selections and eggs to order, Chinese selections, Dim Sum available, Indian/Malay dishes, pastries to die for (very robust selection), fresh fruits of all kinds, many different juices and smoothies, yogurts, cereals, coffee, tea, and the list goes on. Dinner buffet was also exceptional though only tired it once. They also offer a lunch buffet and multiple stand alone restaurants inside the hotel to try. Again, the beds inside the rooms were so comfortable, I always was able to fall right to sleep. Air Con cranked, the room was quiet and peaceful. Wake up every morning to the daily newspaper on your room door handle. Every staff member that I encountered were very helpful and genuinely engaged. Very refreshing to see. There are a few lounges/bars on premise but did not have time to sample. Hailing a taxi is not a problem as the door/bell staff are always on hand to assist. Great thing is they provide you a card with the hotel address to give to the taxi driver to get you safely back in one piece. Many good pubs and places to eat just a few steps away from the hotel. MTR subway station is just a few minutes walk. Shopping galore along the way. This hotel is by far in the best neighborhood. Very safe. There is also a tour agency on premise that can book day trips for you. Be sure to stop by this hidden gem of an added value service. Rooms are made up very nicely daily and you never have to worry about being out of stock of anything. I did utilize mini bar and laundry services while there. Both outstanding. The hotel General Manager is very visible within the facility and is very approachable and amiable. I had felt very honored to speak to him and say hello. Please make the Intercontinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong your first and only place to choose when staying in Hong Kong. The best of the best.
