Location is absolutely terrific - IME, for a true budget traveller, the YMCA Salisbury is a real gem.
A friend who lives in Hong Kong recommended staying there. The location is very good, but I chose a hostel in Mirador Mansion due to price. They sent me TWO emails warning me about the size of the room

It was tiny, but comfortable, and was better priced than the Y. I was forced to stay in at Chunk King Mansion on my first night (plane was late - arrived after midnight, and they already closed and took me to Chung King).

On the bright side, I can say I've survived Chung King Mansion - through no fault of my own
