Manila Hostel (Managed by Dhillon Hotels)

Positive:- Pleasant staff & very friendly.- check in is actually open 24 hours (came at 01:00)- Clean bathroom, but one door have no lock.- Very cheap!- If there is problem with booking they are very fast & adaptive to your situation. So there's no problem with overbooking.- Public transportation in Hong Kong is very good so this is a very strategic location.- Airport bus stop distance is 5 minutes walking (A21 bus at Haiphong Road)- Bed is okay. Room is nice & cool, but sometimes humid.- Easy check out. 5 minutes & you are out. Negative:- Extra 15% cleaning charge, but bed is not cleaned. So just think it is an extra tax.- Hard to communicate overseas but check in is open 24 hours so no worries.- Might be confusing to navigate at first, but there are different sides of building with 2 elevator pairs. Try to find signs of 10F on the wall for check-in.- In peak hour getting ride on elevator is difficult.- Not recommended if you are a solo female traveler. Neighborhood is not really suited for it.- No dining area.- Not all bathroom is equipped with Hot Water.- A lot of fake positive reviews in here, but I would say it is 5 - 6 out of 10 (good if you spend most of your time outside) Conclusion. Good place if you can sleep anywhere as long as there is roof. Bad place if you need comfortable & extra clean room with complete facilities.

Very good staffs and rooms are affordable!

This hostel is very nice for its price! The staffs are nice too. Given that it 's in TST. I can recommend this to everyone.

Bad hotel, bad service, bad bad.

The room was nice and spacious for a Hong Kong price. Their staffs are nice too! The concierge is very accommodating and also sir John.

I stayed for 4 days and absolutely love the 3 incredible ladies in the staff: Lorie, May, and Donna. They made my stay stress-free. They were always helpful.

Nice hotel with decent price. Be able to experience to beauty of Hong Kong without breaking the bank for my hotel accommodation. Staffs are nice and accommodating too ….

Narrow room and lift. Need queue some trip for lift. Suitable for solo traveler not for family. Location was nice near to all place.

Initial experience is horrible. The first 2 hours I've already documented and gathered as much photos and videos as I could because in my head, I'm going to give a bad review. The guys at the front desk does not make you feel welcomed, there's a $HKD210 fee to "maintain" the hostel such as cleaning, toiletries, towel, free water and coffee which is fine, plus another $HKD100 for the keycard deposit. Upon getting inside the room assigned to me, I already checked the bed, the bathroom, as a female solo traveler safety is important to me so I make sure to check the entire room. Found out the AC is not working, underneath the bed is not only dusty and looks like it hasn't been mopped for months. It also has stuff underneath. I approached the front desk located at the 10th floor, I'm located at 17th floor. The guy didn't come to check until my second follow up when I expressed that I'm really tired and sleepy. I came straight from work before the flight all hours and travel in I've been up for 24 hours, so I was really tired. That's the first 2 hours experience, just imagine. He came to check and tested, it's really not working so they transferred me to another building and upgraded me to a family room because I think they are full and no other double room available. This is when my experience started to get better, not only because the room is bigger, this room is way cleaner than the prior room, the AC is cold, it's located on the 17th floor (I requested a higher floor) it's quiet, I don't hear the noises from the vehicles (this is located in TST/iSquare) so super busy road. I love my independence, I like that they don't bother me throughout my stay, the cleaner would give me new trash bags (I throw my own garbage near the exit) I'm not a difficult guest, I just want what I paid for, and cheap does not have to always mean low quality of service. That was definitely the right move for them as a company/business in the hospitality industry. The men should be more accommodating instead of intimidating. Cleaners should ensure the rooms are properly cleaned and maintained even if it's budget friendly.*PS: Attached photos are from the original room I was assigned to (double room), I only have videos of the family room they switched me to which is way cleaner and better, however there's no way to attach or include videos here. Just really be communicative of your needs as guests. In the end, I was a satisfied customer overall and would definitely still recommend for especially for budget travelers.

Excellent service as always! Coming back and forth to Hong Kong for 8th month (2x a month) and Dhillon is my go-to hostel. Also to Ate KC whose been very accommodating and very hardworking person of Dhillon.
