The Cityview (formerly YMCA International House)

Although still affiliated with the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong, this hotel has rebranded itself as a city hotel after renovating its rooms and transforming itself into a smart-looking establishment that can rival many of the more expensively priced hotels in terms of facilities. It's located just off Nathan Road, only a minute's walk from the Yau Ma Tei MTR station, but because it's halfway up Kowloon Peninsula far from the action of Tsim Sha Tsui, it has always played second fiddle to the Salisbury YMCA in terms of convenience and views. Otherwise, contemporary-styled rooms are similar to hotel rooms anywhere in the city, with the cheapest rooms equipped with showers instead of tubs. Ask for a room on a top floor, where it's brighter, the decor more upbeat, and you can look out over the city.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; lounge; babysitting; 25m indoor pool; sauna; tennis and squash courts
