BTW, no matter which hotel you stay in Macau, you have to pay the highest rate during weekend.

ymca salisbury has dorm rooms




Nathan Road is a very long road that stretches all the way to the Kowloon waterfront promenade. Along this stretch there are two YMCA properties which offer clean and affordable rooms. The YMCA Salisbury at the Tsimtsatsui end of Nathan Road faces the harbourfront and rooms here would cost about 30% more than the YMCA International House on Waterloo Street. I personally prefer the latter YMCA because it is perched atop the Yaumatei subway station (which means HK Island is less than 15 minutes train ride away) and within walking distance to the Mongkok street markets, Langham Place Mall (or 1 subway stop away) and Temple Street night markets. Other cheap and clean hotels near the Tsimtsatsui end of Nathan Road, but without harbour views, are Benito Hotel (new boutique hotel) and Stanford Hillview (just off Knutsford Terrace whose pubs and restaurants do brisk business after dusk).





If you could juggle your itinerary, I would suggest visiting Macau on weekdays and staying in HK during the june 7-8 weekends for two reasons (i) you avoid the long lines at immigration and huge weekend crowds of mainland China tourists; (ii) weekday room rates are about two-thirds of those for Fri/Sat nights. For a big group like yours, the savings can be enough for feasting and duty-free shopping in Macau. That said, the more centrally located and clean hotels include Lisboa, Sintra, Beverly Plaza (no in-house casino) and Grand Emperor which are within 10-15 minutes%26#39; walking distance to (i) the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Trail attractions such as St Augustine%26#39;s Square, Senado Square, the Ruins of St Pauls and Mount Fortress (ii) popular casinos including Las Vegas exports Wynn and MGM. Of course, if you would like to splurge, Wynn is centrally located too and I hear they have beautiful and spacious suites.





Happy holidays.




Thank u so much for all the suggestions and the quick reply. will check the budget hotels in nathan road. ymca will not be suitable for my parents who are in their late 70.but however will check them out too.



and if u dont mind will ask u more questions after i check them out.



thanks again








each dorm room at the y salisbury has 2 bunk beds in a room with private toilet. so your 70 year old parents could possibly each have the lower bunk, two younger ones can stay in the bunk beds above.





there are 7 rooms with such configuration. you can book 3 rooms to fit all 12




Or your parents could have a double room and the rest of you share dormitory accommodation.
