Reviews of Philippine Hostel 1 stars

I booked room enough for all my family 4 persons for 2 nights. When I arrived they gave us 2 separate rooms without any facilities and apologized to us that our pre booked room will be available tomorrow.

Very good service

Very nice

Inside the room is clean, but when you go out of your room, it is very dirty. Thou the price is very cheap, I thought it is still a good choice because it is rated as 8+ in boolings.com. It is very disappointing.

It will take you 10-30 minutes waiting to ride the very crowded elevator of Chungking Mansion. There was a time, the elevator malfunctioned and we had to wait so long, so we decided to take the stairs. The stairs are so dirty, we see cockroach and rats. Not recommended especially that we bring with us a toddler. huhu.

I got what I paid for. it’s a good choice for a short, budget trip. The location is very convenient, and I got to experience the famous Chungking Mansions. The room is very tight, but that’s just the Hong Kong style 😄. Even though the whole place is quite compact, they still let me store my luggage for several hours after check-out, which I really appreciated.

the place is clean. lots of restaurants down the building. friendly staff too.if your traveling to hongkong and your on a budget and looking for a place to stay and sleep.i highly recommend this hostel.

about the toilet bowl dont have cover

They lied about extra paying money the indian owners says paying extra 75 HKD for cleaning and expedia

Paying extra like he said need to pay the cleaners

The location is good, and it’s probably one of the cheapest private rooms you can find in the city.

Bed not long enough, im short and still didn’t have leg room. Cockroach infestation in my room. Food stains on the bed sheets. The water from the shower does not stay in the shower room and will spill into your room. The staff came in whilst I was sleeping without knocking and ignored me when I asked what they were doing. In fact when they came in the staff TOOK my keycard from the keycard slot, this was well within the time I had booked and they had no reason to do so, possibly having illegal intentions. I searched for hours and once I’d realized they took it whilst I was sleeping I went and had to argue with the receptionist to get it back, he did not apologize and instead told me it was my fault because I shouldn’t put it in the Key Card Slot (the obvious place to keep it, which is inside the room), and I should put it next to my bad (why that justifies him stealing my key during my sleep I have no idea) The hostel is located inside the Chung king mansion which is a very busy, chaotic, cramped and smelly place where men will follow you around trying to sell you their food or their guest rooms. I would recommend this place only if you really need to save money, though there are much better alternatives for only slightly more and I have stayed in many of them. This place could really be 10 times better if the staff actually tried to fix the many issues.

Location

room

Close to train station and different attractions

Booked a twin room but was given a different room with no refund

Aircon works

Everting is terrible! Tiny blanket you barely can cover yourself (I’m not tall guy) super slim pillow you need to fold twice to have any elevation for your head. Saw couple of cockroaches. But worst of all is noise, and not even because wall are super slim and you can hear literally every tiny nose form neighbors but because of an Indian guy who is working there. Every day he made call out his phone on speakers and literally shouting!!! I measured 70+db in my room! He is not deaf, not mentally ill and well aware of noise problem but seems he don’t care. Moved to another hostel same building and it’s quiet, bigger room, clean, two pillows and good blanket, very friendly guy who met me. And for the same price.

The location

Everything else

Scammers different from the ones posted

Scammers

Nice room with windows. I enjoyed my stay. The location is perfect for a morning walk or run at the harbour promenade.

Chungking is what it is. Queue at the elevators and small bathrooms. I had to sit sideways on the toilet. But I still prefer this location for the vibe, excellent location and good value.

The location is very close to the bus stop to and from airport. The hotel is very close to the MTR station. Lift is not too crowded and no long queue. A very pleasant place to stay. Stayed for 8 nights.

Philippines Hostel is a typical Chungking Mansion's place..good,basic,clean, great location and cheap by Hongkong standards....you get what you pay for..

Nothing

Good price.reasonabke price and good location.

Booking web site not allow to cancel (I thought it should be allowed with some penalty charge
