Hi David. Those all look like great places but a little over our budget. Could you recommend any cheap hotels that still have a swimming pool? Thanks.
Hi Ken. The Salisbury YMCA is a great choice and could have easily been included in the list above (but I have to draw the line somewhere). It’s right beside the Peninsula Hotel in Kowloon.
It has 2 indoor swimming pools (one for laps and a kiddie pool) and a rock climbing wall. (Cool!)
It has some good-sized family suites but these need to be booked very early as they’re quite popular.
Cosmo Hotel Mongkok is also a great family friendly hotel in my opinion. I stayed there with my family and i was happy with my choice it can be found at a decent price here http://www.hongkongcentralhotels.com/
The Salisbury YMCA has a family suite, but they only allow two children and two adults and none of the hotel rooms have connecting doors. When we requested a trundle bed they told us it wasn’t possilble. So if you’ve got more than two children it’s not great.
