Best Affordable Hotel in Kowloon Hong Kong - The Salisbury Kowloon Hotel
This was my first time to stay in the Salisbury Kowloon Hotel and the first time to use Asiarooms hotel online booking. We were never disappointed. First the Asiarooms reservation was quick and easy. When I received the confirmation number I called Salisbury Hotel just for verification and it was verified on the date that we have booked.
When we arrived at the lobby at about 4am I was greeted by the reservation staff, he checked our documents and in just 5 minutes we were at the 12 floor in our room 9non smoking). When we went inside and the room was new and carpeted. But I must comment that the shower curtain of the hotel was not cleaned very well it smells and the hotel doesn't provide slippers so you need to bring your own flip flops or buy outside. Inside the room there is a complimentary fruit platter, cable tv, an easy to configure safe, small fridge, walk in closet, alarm clock, broadband internet priced at hk$40(4 hours), hk$120hk(24 hours) and hk$310(7 days). It's a bit expensive we could have wanted that the internet be free since you will be only using it just check emails. Nevertheless since we stay 3 days we just got the hk$40 worth. Overall the room is cozy, cool and well maintained. Our room was partial harbor view so it's very nice. By the way their hotel key is a small oval shaped so it's kinda tricky to use but very convenient on the pocket or wallet.
Every morning we have a buffet breakfast. It's affordable and the view at their restaurant at the 4th floor is very nice. You need to experience it to judge it. Their food is balanced and there is something for everyone. They have broccoli, noodles, eggs and omelets, bread and pastries, juices, salads, yogurt, cereals, dimsum, coffee and tea they got it covered I think the buffet breakfast is about hk$120 per person. Their staff is exceptional both at the reservation and at the restaurant.
The hotel is very clean especially at the lobby. It smells like the placed was sanitized and it smells like new laundry it is squeaky clean. I was impressed. They have a little bookstore at the lobby and there are lots of stores at the vicinity. Everything is very convenient. I already booked my next trip again using Asiarooms and Salisbury as my hotel. I definitely recommend this to budget travelers, couples, family, students, first timers in hong kong and people who always look value for money without sacrificing quality.
