The Salisbury - YMCA of Hong Kong

The Salisbury - YMCA of Hong Kong is at 41 Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, beside The Peninsula and opposite the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and the harbour promenade. Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, the Star Ferry pier and the Avenue of Stars are all a short walk away, which makes this one of the best-located budget options in Hong Kong, China. The building is a large, functional YMCA property rather than a design or heritage hotel, with practical interiors and straightforward service. Room categories include Standard Rooms, Twin Rooms and Family Rooms, and typical rates range from HK$800 to HK$1,500 a night, considerably below neighbouring luxury hotels. Rooms are simple and clean, with air conditioning and wifi, and some upper floors offer harbour or city views. Dining includes a restaurant on site serving breakfast and meals, and the surrounding Tsim Sha Tsui streets provide many cafes and restaurants at all price levels. The hotel has a swimming pool and a fitness center, features not always available at budget properties in this part of Kowloon. As a YMCA, the hotel has a community-oriented character, welcoming families, student groups and independent travellers, and its staff offer practical help with transport, tours and attractions. The Salisbury suits visitors who want to be near the harbour, museums and shopping without paying luxury prices. Because of its central position, it is popular and rooms can sell out in peak periods, so early reservations are advisable.
