I stayed at the Excelsior for four nights on a business trip. Overall, the hotel was very pleasant with courteous service.
My room was a harbor view room on the 14th floor. The furniture consisted mostly of built-ins and could have used some updating, but was quite clean. There was a minibar/fridge in the rooom, as well as a decent workspace, a smallish TV and a roomy closet. The bathroom was small, but clean.
The buffet breakfast was slightly pricey (about HKD 200) but very good, with a variety of Western, Chinese and Japanese choices, and really tasty baked products. Again, the service was excellent. I also ordered a Western dinner from room service and found it to be really tasty, and quite reasonably priced.
The hotel gym was compact, but surprisingly well equipped. My only quibble is that it didn't open until about 9 on Sunday, and I was hoping to use the chance to exercise to fight off jet lag.
The location is great, right near the water at Admiralty. The MTR (subway) station is only a couple of blocks away, and the area is a major shopping district, with quite a few good restaurants just across the street in the World Trade Center shopping complex.
I found the Excelsior to be a fine choice for my trip, and would consider it again for another trip, either for business or vacation.
