Cebu Hostel

quiet place... big room... and accommodating staff!!! kudos... will surely book on this place again...

It is not unsatisfying at all. Just expecting we are having a 3 beds (based on my booking) but gave us only 2 double beds. Linens was not changed. Nevertheless, we had fun.

I booked one room for 5pax. but when we arrive the room is not available so we were given 3rooms instead. it was somehow hard for us because we need to go out and get out things but then we were able to manage it. the owner is very nice. they assisted us when we checked out. the room is nice since all you need to do is sleep and rest because you'll go out during day time. we'll surely comeback and book on this accom. thank you so much!

the bed is not very comfort, Toilet was very smelly, not recommended the room very small

We were shocked with where the hostel was located. We were unaware that this was in one building where in each floor there are many other hostels which is the Chungking Mansion. The mansion is well known for its bad reputation in early 1990s. However, to date we are not sure with its current social status. At first we felt wary and uneasy every time we go out of the mansion. We just later on got used to it. Guests just have to be very vigilant and they must not look naive about the place. I guess, for cheap bookings in hotel this is highly recommended. But for some guests who are meticulous and can afford higher rates, this is not for them. Also, solo female travelers are not suggested to stay in one of this hostels. I guess, guests should also be informed about the mansions where hostels are located. As for what happened to us, we didn't bother to research about the location of the hostel. We just looked into its price and convenience to MTR Stations. Nonetheless, the operators of the hostel were very kind. We did not encounter anything bad with them. They even lent us their umbrellas and rented a private car for our transportation in the airport on the last day.

The location is very noisy and dirty but the room are clean.. No hot and cold shower 😭

The room is ok. You get what you paid for. But the service is not good. The guy at the reception is unprofessional. Fought with him. He was not able to manage bookings well. He touched our things without our permission while we are outside for our day trip. He was pointing the fingers to us that we did not arrive on time to change our rooms that's why he open our room. So he intrude our room and pack our personal belongings himself and bring it to new room. Yes, all by himself without our permission. As we wenr back, we saw him packing our things from our room. Very unethical! I won't recommend this hostel. Very disappointing experience. I won't recommend Chungking mansion as a place to stay as well. Wont come back there if I go back to HK. However, the manager and the owners are good persons. They are able to speak well with their guests. But the receptionists arent welcoming and hospitable. They want us to stay outside while waiting to be checked in. No waiting place for those who wants to check early.

The room is ok. You get what you paid for. But, Poor service. The guy receptionist opened our room without our permission and touched our things to pack them while we are outside for our trip in Peak Tram because the room we occupied is actually for other guests. who would want to see other people touching your things? Scary experience!

The space is too small. Also the room we stayed in was untidy. The bathroom's flush is not working, though the attendant is kind enough to let us transfer in another room. The place is good for just sleeping and showering.
