The Salisbury YMCA

For decades the number-one choice among low-cost accommodations, this YMCA right next to the Peninsula hotel near the waterfront and Star Ferry offers Tsim Sha Tsui's cheapest rooms with harbor views. Great for families are its inexpensive restaurants and sports facility boasting two indoor swimming pools (a lap pool and a children's pool, free for hotel guests except those in dormitory), a gym, squash courts, and indoor climbing wall (fees charged). Rooms vary from 17 singles (none with harbor view) and more than 250 doubles and twins (the most expensive provide great harbor views), to suites with and without harbor views that are great for families. Although simple in decor, these carpeted rooms are on a par with those at more expensively priced hotels in terms of in-room amenities. For budget travelers, dormitory-style rooms are available only to visitors who have been in Hong Kong fewer than 7 days. Obviously it's quite popular, so book in advance, especially for peak times.
