Find Hotels in Hong Kong, Hong Kong

hotel in the heart of tsim sha tsui. if you want to maximize your stay in hong kong then this is the hotel for you. last minute booking afforded a reasonable price with agoda. the rooms are small but bathrooms are modern and shower was great. close to nathan road which is main road in kowloon side of hong kong. the mtr station is 3 blocks away or a nice 10 minute easy walk or if you walk fast like i do, 5 minutes tops. buffet breakfast at 100 hkg dollars or about $13 usd is an ok spread with the usual american bfast/ chinese congee, rice, noodles, salad, fruits, bread, rolls. the staff was attentive to hotel guests needs. there is a manager that stands beside the elevator near the front desk that always helps guests in operating the elevator. hotel maids greets you good morning- which is a surprise since i often go to hk and maids usually just pass you by. pleasant stay- overall.

This is the first time my husband and I went to Hong Kong for our vacation out of the country. I was a bit worried because I am not sure where is the best place to stay and how to go around Hong Kong. I have heard that Taxis can be very expensive and we are not used to taking the bus. So the only option is via MTR. My sister recommended Royal Park to us since she and her family have been staying with Royal Park a number of times already. She has nothing but praises and tips when staying in Royal Park and in all her stays she has never encountered any problems. So I booked Royal Park here in Agoda and mentioned some requests like the bed type and non-smoking rooms be provided to us. We had a very early flight and arrived at the hotel around 11AM which is way before check-in time. I went to the reception and registered. We were advised to leave our bags so we can explore Hong Kong while waiting for the 3PM check-in. I was asked if we were on our honeymoon and I said no, just for vacation. We were registered and I was told to come back to reception to get the keys from 3PM onwards. The reception and concierge staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were able to explore Hong Kong and got back to the hotel around 7PM already. There are now different set of reception staff so I approached a random staff and gave her my Agoda printout. She checked on the computer and I saw that she went to a pile of neatly arranged keys and got the one for us which has a note attached to it. We were advised that all our requests were approved and we were given a room upgrade! She then asked us what time we want our complimentary red wine to be brought up to our room! Our tired feet forgotten, hubby and me were so happy! In our 3D2N stay, we had the convenience to have access to quite a number of interconnected malls and to the MTR! Hassle free stay! We had a wonderful stay and would stay at Royal Park again on our next trip to Hong Kong.

Butterfly on Prat was amazing. It was easy to get to, close to a lot of stores, restaurants, and places to see, and the staff was superb - friendly and efficient! We were a family of 5 (with 3 adult children), and the 2 rooms we got was kinda small for the us kids. Too bad all the twin bed rooms were fully booked, that would've been better. But that one little discomfort aside, we had a nice stay here. The internet connection was free and fast! I could not have asked for a better option. They also provide free printing services, for those of you who need your boarding passes printed after an online check-in for your flight. How to get there (the fastest way): - Take the Airport Express, and get down at Kowloon Station. - Take the free Airport Shuttle, and get down at Park Hotel (2nd stop). Butterfly on Prat will be on Prat Ave., just a block away and a short walk from Park Hotel. How to get back to the airport the fastest way: - Go back to the bus stop in front of Park Hotel on Cameron Rd., and wait for the Airport Shuttle bus - Get off at Kowloon Station - Take the Airport Express back to the airport Places to see around Butterfly on Prat: - Wah Kee Snacks (corner of Prat Ave. and Hart Ave.): delicious street food! Try the lobster & chicken balls with curry sauce. - 7 Eleven and Circle K are near - Hanjyuku Kobo (Cameron Rd. near Tsim Sha Tsui MTR B2 exit): BEST. CHEESE TARTS. EVER. - Cotton On/Typo, Nike, Lush stores on Granville Rd Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station is of walking distance from Butterfly, and you get to see different stores too on the way. From there, lots of places are accessible by train. Do check out the Apliu Street Flea Market (get off at Sham Shui Po station) for gadgets & electrical things; Fa Yuen Sneaker Street (get off at Mongkok station) for LOTS of sneakers. There are lots of museums too, near at Butterfly on Prat: Hong Kong Museum of History, Hong Kong Science Museum, Hong Kong Space Museum, and Hong Kong Museum of Art (which was u

Pros: -very accommodating staff -the room was very nice and they always clean it and change our towels everyday -their facilities are also awesome. They have a playroom if you’re travelling with kids, they also have a swimming pool and even steam and sauna bath! -was not able to bring an adaptor and they lend me one. They even asked how many do I need 😊 -internet connection was superb -breakfast buffet is good as well -shuttle service to and from tsuen wan station is always on time Cons: -the only problem is that the hotel is far from the nearest MTR station. The night we arrived (via HK International Airport) in Hong Kong we missed the shuttle bus because it only operates until 11pm so we have no choice but to ride a taxi which costs us 231HKD. And since we’re travelling with our daughter and will go to Macau after HK, we also had a hard time going to the ferry station since it’s also far from the hotel and we have big luggages. I guess, if you’re travelling solo and just packing for one, it wouldn’t be that hard to commute going to this hotel or if you have a budget to take a cab going and leaving the hotel then I think it’s okay to stay here. -it would be better if their toilet will have a bidet. Most of the hotels nowadays has one. Overall, our experience with this hotel was great! Will definitely come back when I visit Hong Kong again.

It was our first time in Hong Kong so we decided to get a 4 Star Hotel. After arriving at Hong Kong airport it took us a few minutes to find the Harbour Center Counter, but after we found it, we felt taken care of already. Cost us HKD$140 each for the airport shuttle to the Hotel, it was a fairly large bus, and it only seated a few of us. This is where we learned that the Airport Shuttle caters to other hotels too. Think of it this way, if you have large bags or luggage, a few bucks is worth it when going to and from the airport because you are going to walk a lot. My bag was a large duffle and it was 24 lbs. and I was so grateful I opted for the shuttle going to and from the Airport. Plus, you get to see Hong Kong more from the bus, unlike when you take the train which goes into the subway after the first 5-6 stations. When we arrived at the hotel, check in was a breeze, they just get the impression of my card and thats it, there was someone who helped us get our things from the bus to the check in counter then from the check-in counter to our room. But be sure to give a separate tip to the one who carries your bag from the bus to the hotel, because it will be a different person who will bring your bags up. The room was quite big/clean compared to other Hotels our friends stayed at. Their's were around 21 sq mts, ours was about 28 sq mts. they were complaining that they had traffic going to and from their bathrooms, while we were comfortable in a King sized bed, we had a stocked mini ref and we had cable. Only problem is internet costed around a HK$100/day. We only stayed at the hotel to sleep and bathe mostly, but we would've loved to use the gym and the pool. Both were clean and complete. Maybe because there are monthly tenants staying at the serviced suites of the hotel. They had a sauna but I didn't get to use it. My girlfriend was able to use the pool, her only complaint was that it wasn't heated. We are coming back, soon.

the bp international hotel is the perfect hotel to those who wish to visit hongkong for shopping, sight seeing, food tripping, or simply just getting to know its cultural heritage. the hotel can be reached either via taxi cab or mtr from the airport. it's location is very strategic. every necessity could be obtained in a walking distance (money exchange, 7-eleven convenience store, street food, mtr station). it is also walking distance from the ever-famous canton road, for people who love to shop for designer items such as gucci, marc jacobs, lv, and many more. harbour city mall is also located near by. the austin mtr station is only 3 blocks away from the hotel. from there you can go to just about any point in hong kong as you wish! it is the cheapest mode of transport, and very easy to use. the hotel staff is very accommodating and can speak english very well. the hotel can also provide tourist concerns such as directions, tour guides, maps, and more. the rooms are small, but efficient for a stay in hong kong where you spend the whole day outside. it is perfect for relaxing after a long day of shopping and sight seeing. overall, i had a pleasant stay at the bp international hotel. im sure any one will also love this hotel! book now!

We came through Hong Kong for business. Two families, each with an infant. What we wanted was a hotel in Hong Kong that was decently priced and had a swimming pool for the children. This hotel is well-designed and well-maintained. Front desk staff are very professional. There is an hourly shuttle which takes you to/from Tsim Sha Tsui (Peninsula Hotel). In our opinion, the best part about the hotel was the large and beautiful swimming pool. There is a shallow kid's pool which was excellent for the children to play in.

GDH nailed it, again. Check in was a breeze, as always. I had booked an Executive again, and was totally surprised to have been upgraded to a 1 bedroom on the Executive Floor (16). Simply outstanding, especially for the price. GREAT bed, AWESOME bathroom, and comfortable amenities. The location is spot on for pretty much anything anybody would want to do in Hong Kong as it's just a couple blocks from Wanchai MTR, and a short walk down to Central/Hong Kong station as well. It's surrounded by restaurants of every flavor, and is, in my opinion, one of the hotels that gives the "best bang for the buck" while in Hong Kong. I highly encourage people to take advantage of the fitness room even if you're not a fitness buff - one of the BEST fitness centers for a hotel this size I have ever seen. Wharney GDH - one of MY favorite hotels in Hong Kong.

All hotel rooms in Hong Kong tend to be very small and those in this hotel are no exception, so don’t expect more room than is absolutely necessary. Having said that, the rooms were very well laid out and full of the latest gadgets – they were also clean, comfortable and ergonomically perfect and much better than in some of the ones we have stayed in on Hong Kong Island! The food was good, though a bit more variety would have elevated it to a higher level, and sitting outside in the rooftop restaurant was a delight even though the temperature wasn’t that warm – the views of the city and Victoria Harbour were amazing! The hotel runs a shuttle bus to Mongkok MTR station and it’s just a short walk from there to attractions such as the Ladies Market and Nathan Road – you have to walk back, or get the MTR back to Olympian City station which is then a short walk back to the hotel. Alternatively taxis are cheap and plentiful! A great hotel to stay in Hong Kong, with reasonable size rooms and at reasonable prices – we’d stay here again!

tsim sha tsui is the place to stay for leisure travellers looking to do some shopping in hong kong. there are countless hotels in tst, but the gateway is my top choice given its location, price and quality of service. the gateway is surrounded by malls and shops, being situated along canton road, and accessible through the harbor center mall. at night, visitors can have a leisurely walk along the promenade with the majestic hong kong skyline in the background. room rates at the gateway is quite reasonable compared to the marco polo hong kong and prince since it is situated farthest from the bay area among the three. nonetheless, the quality of the rooms, responsiveness and pleasing personality of the staff more than makes up for it. we look forward to return to the gateway hotel the next time we visit hk.

Firstly, I loved the location of the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised to find it so near to the mtr exit! It is always a walkable distance to mongkok which is a plus point for me. To top it all off, we were very welcomed by the staff of Inn hotel who was very friendly and helpful. We managed to get the room ok the 30th floor which has a superb view (the harbour). Not to mention the room was so clean, new and had everything we needed. Water, basic toiletries and hair dryer. While there were reviews saying that the room is small, it is very understandable as hotels on hong kong are generally not big. This is my 4th time in hong kong, and my first time at the inn hotel. I must say this is the best hotel in terms of value for money, location and cleanliness. Not to forget, friendly staff. I'll definitely be staying here again for all my future trips in hong kong. Thanks for such a wonderful stay!

Hotel rooms in Hong Kong hotels are notoriously small, and the "superior" rooms in the Metropark hotel at 21 sq.m. are just adequate. However, the staff is universally excellent, and the service first-rate. If you want a double bed, you had better phone or e-mail ahead of time, because otherwise there may be none available when you check in. The hotel's location is convenient for anyone's purposes, with all the possible conveniences and services close by. The buffet breakfast was adequate, except for the fact that there was only sliced melon available as fruit. Bus A21 from the airport stops 50 metres past the main entrance to the hotel. Returning to the airport, however, is a little trickier: a) the airport shuttle (HKD 105) takes 1 1/2 hours because it picks up passengers from other hotels; b) a shuttle bus to the train station and then the airport express (total: HKD 95) is probably the best option; a taxi costs HKD 260 -300).

Regal Riverside's glory comes in it's design which is straightforward, convenient and relaxing whilst maintaining a charmingly simple but elegant style. I think it is perfect for families on holiday and tour groups whether they be your conventional tour group or school groups (we saw a few groups and they looked quite pleased). The hotel itself has a welcoming and pleasant ambiance and is quite stylish- once you enter the high-ceiling lobby there is a waft of perfume which invites you affably into a nicely decorated lobby. While it is not necessarily an overly 'extravagant' and 'grandiose' style hotel, I believe it is an ideal hotel to go on holiday as it retains an almost homely comfort and appeal after walking a long day in the colourful streets of Hong Kong. The hotel staff are also helpful and friendly. While it was a fabulous stay in the Regal Riverside (and at a good price), the few small problems we had was that in our bathroom there wasn't a fan and a leak near our cupboards (which was fixed quickly the next day without us even contacting the staff)but overall it was inherently a very nice hotel to stay in. Also note: The area of Shatin while not in the CBD of Hong Kong, is quite lovely being a more calm and relaxed area. Since the transport system in Hong Kong is efficient and well-designed for its large population, the hotel's location is not much of a obstacle in having a dense day in Hong Kong packed with sight-seeing and wandering around.

the prudential hotel is the hotel that i stay at all the time when i stay in hong kong. the location is ideal as it sits on top of the jordan mtr station. it's also centrally located on nathan road with shopping and restaurants on either side of the street. the rooms are clean and modern however they are small. the hotel is reasonably priced for hong kong hotels. my range is $usd and below a night. everywhere in hong kong is accessible by subway which is the main conveinence. taxi are expensive in hong kong and the subway makes an affordable way to explore hong kong. i give the hotel 5 stars and will stay there again everytime i come to hong kong.

This is my second time in Hong Kong for 2012. Compared to my previous trip, this hotel is definitely much more comfortable in terms of the area. Location was rather convenient as well as there is the Airport Express Shuttle Bus (H2) available. (To and fro from Hong Kong station). The hotel service staff were warm and friendly and have a good command of English. The staff were well trained in the local tourist attractions and had no problems answering our queries. Room service was rather prompt as well when we requested for extra towels. Definitely a pleasant stay and I do hope to be with them again for my next stay in Hong Kong.

I stayed more than 5 times at this hotel. Love this hotel because the EXCELLENT location. MTR Yau Ma Tei is just around the corner and many bus lines stop right next the hotel. Temple street, Ladies market, shopping area Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui, innumerable restaurants are on walking distance. Laundry is just on the opposite of the main entrance of the hotel. There is also a small 7/11 (supermarket) just on the corner. The space of the room is according standard of Hong Kong just fine. I stayed mostly in the premier room which suits maximum 3 persons and that's okay. Also if you book the premier room you can use the handy wifi spot which you can take outside so you have ALWAYS wifi with you. It's free and very very nice! The breakfast is fine and if you stayed for 2 weeks (in my case) than it will be a little bit boring at the end;-). Oriental part: congee, noodles, vegetables, miso soup and dim sum. Western part: mini croissants & sweet patries, toast, gluten free bread, juice, milk, yoghurt, fresh fruits (very day: watermelon, pineapple and dragon fruit), cheese and the cook prepares any various egg. In general the hotel staff is very polite, friendly and helpfull. Also the chambermaids are very friendly especially the lady who cleans our room 1084. Thank you so much! I can highly recommend this hotel especially if you don't stay long in Hong Kong. Because the excellent location you will save a lot of travel time.

This hotel is an ultimate in luxury. Pleasantly surprised!! They upgraded our room to a suite which is a right timing, we went to Hong Kong for my wife's birthday. My wife had a great time celebrating her birthday there. You brought joy to her special day, 🎂Thank you for your Sweet Thoughtful GIFT! 🎁  Our stay at Park Hotel Hong Kong. was full of joy. Loved it! Breakfast buffet is so good.  Wish we could have tried the lunch and dinner buffet, will definitely try next time. The suite is beautiful and is so great; incredibly spacious perfect for a family of 4 or for couples. The suite has a powder room, a bathroom with tub -and- shower with great water flow and safe water heater. Beds: mattress-and-pillows, even the sofas are very comfortable you could sleep all day. The room is perfect...Eveything is clean!  Park Hotel's environment is really relaxing and everyone was very nice to us. Front Desk Manager, Front Desk Staff, Concierge team are all polite and friendly. Great job! Our hotel's location is very convenient to the nearby shopping malls and restaurants, and is conveniently located near a Catholic Church.and we are so happy for that. Just a 5-8 minute walk from/to MTR station. Oh, by the way, there are always at least two taxi cabs parked outside the hotel, easy to bring hotel guests to the International Airport or other places in Hong Kong. This is really a great hotel to stay in. (*We did have 2 minor problems: 1. With WIFI access in our room, a little weak; 2. No English-Hollywood Movie Channel with drama/comedy series and Disney channel. Only with English documentary channels.) Overall, we (me and my wife) are very happy with our weekend birthday getaway. Loved our stay here. Would definitely stay here again. Everything's fantastic! GREAT PLACE, FRIENDLY PEOPLE, WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.. THANK YOU PARK HOTEL Hong Kong.

The hotel is located right on top of the China Hong Kong Harbour. There are routes to Macao, Zhuhai, Shenzhen and others.. I believe it is quite convenient for business traveler from the Pearl Delta. There is also a great shopping mall just below the hotel. It is very convenient to shop and fetch a ferry back to Macao. Canton Road and Marina corridor, Star Avenue are also within walking distances. I think this is quite a bargain for a centrally located hotel in Hong Kong for its price level. Highly recommended!

Check-in was simple and was given a room on a high level floor with a nice view. The room was generously sized when comparing to your average hotel rooms in Hong Kong. Spacious bathroom. A small intimate gym, enough to get you going for the day. Brekfast buffet was great with a good selection of both western and asian inspired. 14 nights here which is the longest I have stayed in 1 hotel at 1 time in Hong Kong and it was extremely comfortable, a good choice for a longer stay. No pool. Air conditioning that is more than suffice. A very nice stay and looking forward to coming back soon.

Arrived in Hong Kong off a long flight from Auckland. Flight arrived at 6.30am, arranged transport to hotel through the very helpful staff at the airport. Transfer was about 45 minutes. Arrived at the hotel at around 8am, the stated check in was something like 1pm, but the very very kind man behind the desk managed to find us a room and checked us in there and then. What a god send this was, as we we're both in need of refreshing after the flight from Auckland. The location on Nathan Road was great, literally minutes away from the hussle and bussle of the shops and markets. There is an underground station (Jordan Street) very close to the hotel, you can use this to go everywhere, really cheaply. Room overlooked the city, although you wouldn't expect anything else, this is Hong Kong. Room was clean but on the tired side. Bed was very comfy though. We hadn't booked any food as part of our stay, but they gave us a few discount cards for the hotel restaurant. Over our stay we had the breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets. And my only complaint was that the food was too nice, so we ate far too much. The staff in the bar were just as friendly as the check in staff. Excellent gym and swimming facilities. I haven't given five stars for hotel condition and room standard. Although the room was a great size for Hong Kong, the bathroom in particular would benefit from some updating. Although we wouldn't hesitate from staying here again.

We stayed in one of Butterfly's deluxe room and were given a room showing off the Hong Kong skyline and Happy Valley race course. The hotel is a 5/10 minute walk from Time Square and in a great location. Rooms are super clear with funky designs. Internet is good and easy to connect to without password or restrictions. There's was also a good selection of channels on the TV that was mounted across from the bed. The shower was superb. Best shower I've seen in a long-time. Huge shower head with easy water temperature. Staff also excellent and provided my girlfriend with a cake on request for her birthday. Really attentive and nice people. This is a lovely hotel which is probably a steal comparatively to what you get in other Hong Kong hotels around the same price mark. I definitely recommend - especially if you luck out with a great view from a high floor.

The Marco Polo Prince Hotel is the best hotel we have EVER stayed at. FACT. For anyone planning a trip to Hong Kong, I strongly advised you to stay here. We were first-timers to HK and were not disappointed. We were treated like royalty from start to finish and nothing was too much. The staff are the most courteous and friendly we have ever met before. On arrival staff were outside to carry our luggage in and there was no queue due to the number of staff on reception. We were served by a very helpful girl and we told her it was our Wedding Anniversary. She immediately congratulated us and upgraded our regular room to a harbour view room with a bath tub! The room was huge for central Hong Kong and they had thought of everything. We had arrived at 7pm on a Monday night and we quickly showered after a long flight and went out to eat at local hawker markets and take in the markets and atmosphere in north Kowloon. On arrival back at the hotel we were stunned to find our bed turned down and a bottle of champagne on ice with two glasses and a love heart plate with little chocolates. We were so touched and it was wonderful. Everyone we met, from front of house, to concierge to housekeeping were more that friendly, helpful and so obliging. The location of the hotel is utterly fabulous, right on the harbour with a 5 min walk to the Star Ferry and a 5 min walk to the MTR which will take you everywhere. If you like night life, eating and shopping in the markets then stay here. We spent our days visiting Hong Kong Island and Lantau etc and would come back to the hotel for a shower and rest before venturing out at night in Kowloon. You can get to busy Soho by walking five mins and taking the famous star ferry for about 25p then enjoy the excitement of the mid-level escalators. The Ladies Market, Jade markets and the very famous Temple Street Markets are but a twenty minute walk from the hotel or a few minutes by MTR.

The rooms are very spacious compared to other major hotels in Hong Kong area. Great staff. Always helpful and friendly. Main reason we went back this time---our second stay. We definitely will stay again next time in Hong Kong. Centrally located and easy to get around especially with the underground connecting corridor nearby. This is just a great hotel with easy connection to the metro (subway), rail and a short walk to the Star Ferry. We've stayed at a lot of hotels in Hong Kong and this is our first choice now.

I traveled to Hong Kong with my 70+ year old father. We are not extravagant people and were looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay that was reasonably priced and located close to everything in Tsim Sha Tsui. This hotel really fit the bill overall. Finding the hotel was a little tricky because it sits on a smaller side street that looks somewhat run down. The hotel stands out because it is the one buidling there that actually looks newer. It's a very clean and modern hotel. The folks who work there were all friendly and helpful. When we got to our room, we found it very clean and comfortable. We were on the 12th floor so the view was limited. The bed was great though. Only complaint is that the room was small. As others have noted, it is difficult to sit at the desk without the chair hitting the bed. There was only a shower (no bathtub) which didn't matter to us. My father did not like the fact that there were no face towels (only hand towels and bath towels), but I did't care. For the price, I couldn't complain too much. We called for help several times with various questions and the service was always prompt and courteous. The manager even sent up some cookies and treats at one point. We were in Hong Kong while the swine flu scare was going on in the U.S./Mexico. The hotel responded promptly with an informational letter, mask if requested, and attentive "disinfection" of public areas. Other than the small room, my only other negative about this place is the street that it's on has several bars/pubs that are open only at night. That's not a big problem except the next morning there was occasionally a drunk or two stumbling down the street after a night of partying and sometimes vomit on the street. This is not something the hotel controls but important to know nevertheless. The area never felt unsafe though and the location is in easy walking distance to shopping and transportation. We walked everywhere in Tsim Sha Tsui from this hotel!

Although our taxi driver did his best to suggest we were staying in the worst area of Hong Kong we loved the location! Literally on the doorstep of the local food market with an original and genuine view of real life in Hong Kong; this location was perfect for us.. 2 mins walk to Kings Road where you were in the heart of north point and its shops, cafe's, restaurants and metro stations. Also had the tram stop (extremely cheap and a great way to get around) at the end of the road, everything at your finger tips to explore Hong Kong.

My husband and I decided to take a few days off to Hong Kong without our children, we have been to Hong Kong many times and stay in various hotels within the centre area. Hong Kong hotels are typically expensive with tiny space and get-by-only-mordern-decoration with no details. So for the same price range, I considered Nathan hotel to be a really worth-the-value deal. The rooms were really nice (but I did stay in the executive floor for a small extra amount only - I don't know what the regular room is like?) quite spacious, huge TV and with few gadgets well thought off appliances like the speaker system for iPhone, charger reading light etc... Breakfast has not much choice but to offer breakfast in Hong Kong hotel is a nice deal already. The service, I considered good, staffs were fairy friendly and better than all Hong Kong hotel I've been. This is the first time I booked hotel in Hong Kong by myself, I normally book through my agent. I'd even recommend my travel agent to recommend his customer to this hotel. I was very happy with my stay. There was one cleaning lady who clean our floor, she was lovely, I usually left my room late so I see her in the morning, she tried to ask if I want more soap, more water? etc....and when I left the room for the elevator, she ran all the way in front of me to press the elevator for me!! I was impressed and all these time, she didn't even spoke a words of english but a sweet service mind!

Tsim Sha Tsui (sounds a little like chim sha choi when natives say it) in Hong Kong is right across the water from Hong Kong Central and is the heart of shopping and entertainment. This hotel is perfectly placed to take advantage of that. If, like us, you plan to spend little time in your room, and want to be where the action is, this will be a good choice. That said, there are some things you should know. The room we stayed in is tiny, roughly 8' by 8'. with no closets or dressers, so it's imperative that you be neat and live out of your suitcase. There are only two plugs for charging. one in a console next to the bed and one under the sink in the bathroom. The lobby is on the 10th floor. The weirdest thing, to my mind, is that the bed looks directly through clear glass at the toilet. Why they didn't at least frost the glass, I have no idea, maybe they consider someone on the pot to be entertainment. The price is right, it's clean, the shower is good, it's in a lively location.

if you're planning to stay at the tsim sha tsui area, then the ymca salisbury hotel is highly recommended. it offers great value for money considering its location, and depending on the type of room you book, it affords you a view of the victoria harbor, which nearby 5-star hotels also offer at a considerably higher price. and while it would be unfair to compare the ymca salisbury to such 5-star hotels in terms of luxury and style, it nevertheless offers more than just the basics and affords one a pleasantly homey, cozy stay. the rooms are big enough and well-appointed, although i was a bit disappointed that they do not have a bidet in the toilet. other than that, there isn't anything else i could complain about in our room. no moldy smells, the room was cleaned & made up every day, plus they also gave us a welcome fruit basket on our first day, and daily rations of the english-language paper, south china morning post. cable tv could use a few more english-language channels, but one doesn't come to hong kong to watch tv anyway, so that's not too much of a big deal. since our hong kong trip this time was basically for shopping, i found that the ymca salisbury is just perfect for it, since it is just a few minutes walk away from the harbour city stretch as well as the countless outlets, boutiques and malls of nathan road, canton road and the side streets up to granville. it is also a mere 5 to 10 minute leisurely walk to the star ferry terminal, where you can board a ferry to hong kong island for more shopping in the central and admiralty areas. the ferry is a cheaper but more fun way to get to central instead of the ever efficient mtr. speaking of which, the ymca salisbury is linked by an exit to the east tsim sha tsui mtr line and consequently, the tsuen wan mtr line as well, so getting around is not a problem. staff were warm & helpful (by hong kong standards), from the ladies in the front desk & the gentlemen in the concierge, to the housekeeping s
