Your typical highway-adjacent Holiday Inn, this certainly is not. Instead, this upper-middle-range property offers great value for the money, and has a wealth of features includes a pool, gym, and multiple popular dining venues. That's all packed into a bustling, lively property right in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, which blazes with streetlife day and night. The 614 rooms are simple, but fresh and modern, with Handy Phones, mini-fridges, closet space, and large flat-screen TVs. Those with Club-level bookings get access to free breakfast, a massive snack and cocktail spread, and the attractive ExecutiveClub Lounge, which is one of the city's largest. If you're seeking something with a slightly more polished style, opt for the Hyatt Regency Tsim Sha Tsui, which is across the street.

Don't let this hotel's name put you off. In many ways the YHA Mei Ho House Youth Hostel exceeds almost any other hostel in Hong Kong. Most of the 129 units here are proper mid-range hotel rooms, though individual beds can be booked in dorm-style units as well. All include air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and en-suite bathrooms. The MTR is less than 10 minutes away on foot, and the authentically local Sham Shui Po neighborhood is just down the road. Other features include on-site dining, lounges, and a kitchen. History is a major deal here, and the fascinating on-site museum chronicles the property's major role in Hong Kong's history. Rates here are hard to beat for this quality, but if you want a more central option check out the Hop Inn, though you'll sacrifice on amenities.

The 422-room upper-middle-range Cityview Hong Kong is centrally located a five-minute walk from the nearest MTR station and close to markets and restaurants. Its rooms are bright, fresh, and pleasant, if on the small side, though old-wing rooms are notably more dated than those recently refurbished.

Wi-Fi is free and generally reliable, plus some rooms have free use of 3G-enabled smartphones, and guests can access the pool and gym facilities at the neighboring YMCA. A free shuttle bus service runs to and from a train station convenient for Hong Kong’s airport. Another property worth considering in the Yau Ma Tei area is the three-pearl Casa Deluxe, which can have lower rates.

The Xi Hotel is a basic mid-range option that has one of the best locations in Tsim Sha Tsui. It sits on a relatively quiet street, around the corner from the trendy K11 Art Mall and the Hyatt Regency. While features are few -- limited to free continental breakfasts, a wine bar, and an attractive meeting area -- the hotel is popular with families from mainland China and international travelers seeking reasonable rates. The 64 rooms are modern, quiet, and clean, through some are worn and they are dark. Free Handy Phones and Wi-Fi are helpful perks, and most rooms include sofabeds for families. If you have a bit more money to spare, the Holiday Inn Golden Mile is a more attractive alternative with far more features on-site.

The Fleming is one of the most impeccably styled hotels that we saw on our 2018 trip to Hong Kong. Packed with bespoke details, it's a solid upmarket pick for travelers wanting to base themselves in up-and-coming Wan Chai. Modeled on the Star Ferry steamers of yore, the 66 sharp rooms include hardwood, marble, and brass details plus large Apple TVs, Handy Phones, and gorgeous apothecary-inspired bathrooms with rainfall showers. Unfortunately, the views onto a neighboring highway aren't the greatest, and lighting may be a bit dark for some travelers. The restaurant downstairs, Osteria Marzia, is a destination in its own right and buzzes with locals day and night. For a boutique option in trendy Sheung Wan instead, check out The Putman, though it has a less bespoke look.

The 782-room Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers, first opened in 1974, is both one of the older and larger hotels in Hong Kong. Its busy Tsim Sha Tsui location is great for tourists and shoppers, and also offers one of the best uninterrupted views of the harbor in the city. A 2014 makeover has given the property a swanky upgrade, though room decor is on the minimal side. In-room amenities -- 40-inch flat-screen TVs, stocked minibars, electric kettles, and smartphone loan -- are suitably high-end. A charge for Wi-Fi for most guests is an annoyance though a heated rooftop pool plus hot tub is an excellent touch. Rates are also pretty fair for a luxury hotel, though it's also worth considering the hip, futuristic, and similarly priced Mira Hong Kong.
