The Salisbury YMCA of Hong Kong

The location is excellent! It's perfect for exploring and enjoying the Tsim Sha Tsui area. If you're coming from the airport, take bus A21 directly to Middle Road Station, and it's just a few minutes' walk from there. The room was quite clean. The only issue we encountered was a clogged toilet drain in our room, but after we reported it, they promptly arranged for someone to fix it. Soundproofing, however, was poor; we could constantly hear doors opening and closing in the hallway. Overall, the service attitude during our stay felt rather impersonal. While not overly warm, it wasn't rude either – perhaps Hongkongers tend to maintain a professional distance. (However, we did have one unpleasant encounter: a middle-aged concierge, approximately 40 years old, with a round head, who was standing behind the counter. The moment he heard us speaking Mandarin, his expression visibly changed, and he rolled his eyes. This was the only eye-roll we received during our entire trip to Hong Kong 🙄. In contrast, the concierge staff working outside the counter were extremely friendly!) Other than that, there's nothing particularly noteworthy. The price was reasonable, offering great value for money given its prime location. Do note that rooms don't come with toiletries or complimentary water, so you'll need to bring your own. Conveniently, the H2 bus stop is right downstairs on the roadside. It's also very close to K11, Harbour City, Avenue of Stars, and Chungking Mansions.

We booked a sea-view room with twin beds. The location is superb – it's right across the street from Victoria Harbour, next to The Peninsula Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Space Museum is also just across the street. The MTR station is only a three-minute walk away, and there are many excellent local cha chaan tengs nearby. Considering its prime location, the price was actually quite reasonable; The Peninsula Hong Kong next door was double the price during our stay. The hotel's internal facilities are standard but clean. However, perhaps reflecting Hong Kong's environmental initiatives, rooms are only cleaned every three days instead of daily. They provide one adapter, but if you have multiple devices, it's advisable to bring or buy an extra one. The staff were generally friendly, though their service quality could be a bit hit-or-miss. Don't bother with breakfast at the hotel; the nearby cha chaan tengs offer a fantastic variety, and it's much better to sleep in and then enjoy a leisurely meal there!
