As you know, Hong Kong is an expensive city for travelers. It is quite difficult to find a budget and at the same time comfortable hotel here. The most affordable options for staying in Hong Kong are a bed in a common room in a hostel or a completely ascetic and cramped hotel room, but this is mainly suitable for backpackers, young and carefree. If you are traveling with a family or a group of several people, it is more profitable to view good accommodations with amenities on Airbnb..

Airbnb offers a wide variety of accommodations in Hong Kong, so you can always find something suitable for yourself in any area. However, it makes sense for tourists to settle in the very center of the city, on the island of Hong Kong, in its northern part (metro Sheung Wan, Central, Admiralty and Wan Chai), from where it is close to the main attractions. Another option is to settle on the Kowloon Peninsula, near the Tsim Tsa Shui metro station and neighboring ones. In Kowloon, you can find the quieter and older parts of Hong Kong and immerse yourself in the daily life of its people. Although the area around Tsim Tsa Shui (Nathan Road) is a very busy place. In terms of cost, it makes sense to tune in to prices on average from $ 50 per day, but if you are ready to live on the outskirts, you can find it for $ 20-30 (I have such options in the selection here).
