Shangri-La Kowloon has a great dinner/lunch buffet.
Grand Hyatt on HK side is OK.
Personally, I'd recommand to stay in Tsim Tsa Tsui and take a taxi to HK side if you need some entertainment.

Bad advice about Tsim Tsa Tsui, you don't need a trip all the way there after a night out.
Grand Hyatt is a lot more than OK btw. It was about 4000 to 4500 HKD per night last time I stayed there but it is a 5 minute walk from what then were the best bars.
At a lower price, check out the Excelsior in Causeway Bay. Harbour view rooms, nice easy walk to Times Square, 5 mins by taxi to Wanchai and great restaurants. I switched to the executive floor here when I realised that I could save 1000+ a night plus be treated exceptionally well.
A standard room with harbour/Kowloon view (believe me it is worth paying for and will set you up for feeling Hong Kong) should only be about 2000 a night.
Man, I love Hong Kong.
