The Salisbury YMCA

The Salisbury sits directly on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront next to The Peninsula, run by the YMCA of Hong Kong — and is well known among repeat visitors for offering some of the best-located rooms in the city at a fraction of its neighbours' rates.

Location

Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, effectively the same address as some of the city's most expensive hotels, a short walk from the Star Ferry and the harbourfront promenade.

What it's known for

Simple, clean, no-frills rooms — some with genuine harbour views — plus a swimming pool and fitness facilities, all at a markedly lower price point than comparable waterfront locations.

Who it suits

Budget-conscious travellers who care more about location than luxury amenities, and don't mind a simpler, more institutional style of hotel.
