Located just off Nathan Road, only a minute's walk from the Yau Ma Tei MTR station, this YMCA renovated its old building and added a 25-story tower a few years back, transforming itself into a smart-looking establishment that can rival many of the more expensively priced hotels in terms of facilities. However, located halfway up Kowloon Peninsula, far from the action of Tsim Sha Tsui, it plays second fiddle to The Salisbury YMCA in terms of convenience and views. The cheapest rooms occupy the older building, while the new tower rooms are similar in decor and comfort to modestly priced hotel rooms anywhere in the city and even boast wireless Internet access. Ask for a room on a top floor, where it's brighter and you can look out over the city. There are also dormitory rooms, for men only.
Facilities:
Restaurant (Western); lounge; indoor pool (free to Y guests); tennis and squash courts; fitness room (fee charged); sauna; tour desk; business center; babysitting; laundry service/dry cleaning
