Expert review of The Salisbury YMCA Of Hong Kong
Five-star location, but three-star prices. If that.
I marvel every time I pass the Y. Jauntily ignoring the imperious grande dame Peninsula next door, it’s got some of the lowest rates and one of the best locations in the neighbourhood.
Location:
At the southern end of the “Golden Mile”, opposite the Cultural Centre and Avenue of Stars, steps from the MTR and – were such conveyances still in operation – two minutes’ by rickshaw from the Star Ferry.
Bedrooms:
The dorms are as you might expect, with two double bunks each. Sidestep these for rather more a salubrious kip elsewhere in the hotel; the family rooms sleep four comfortably.

Public areas:
Not likely to win any interior design awards soon: but who cares, as there’s plenty of space and even a self-service laundrette.
Eating and drinking:
A café and a dining room – the harbour views from the latter make lingering over any meal well worth it. The food’s fine, if nothing to email home about.
Leisure facilities:
Indoor pool, fitness centre, climbing wall, squash courts, internet café, and even a chapel. Insert Village People lyric of choice here.
Service:
Nothing to complain about at all.

Who stays there:
It’s not simply fuss-budgets. They could drop the YMCA label and perform very creditably as a regular hotel.
Price advice:
This is probably one of the great accommodation deals of the world - imagine a hotel next to the Eiffel Tower or Statue of Liberty with rates like these!
Pros:
Cheap as banana chips
Cons:
Very popular – book ahead
