Actually stayed · 1 night · Day 17
Room recorded: Harbour View King Suite.
Travelshorts’ account: Prime location in Tsim Sha Tsui next to The Peninsula, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering one of the best views of the Victoria Harbour skyline.
Observed during this stay: living room, separate bedroom, two bathrooms. These are historical observations, not a current amenities guarantee.

Tonight we were staying at The Salisbury - YMCA Hong Kong, the hotel is in a perfect location in Tsim Sha Tsui next to the Peninsula with perfect views over Victoria harbour and the Hong Kong Skyline. Our room was a Harbour View King Suite so we had two rooms and a huge floor to ceiling window to admire the view.
Hotel
Travelshorts’ observation: The Salisbury YMCA Harbour View King Suite costs around £285/night and offers essentially the same iconic Victoria Harbour skyline view as the neighbouring luxury Peninsula Hotel which costs over £800/night.

And for a Harbour view room there, you're looking at upwards of £800 a night. Here, we're right next door. We have the same view. Just because this hotel really isn't up to the same standard as a Peninsula, I'm paying about £285 per night here.
