Well, it is unique... Appears to be nice, and clean... Coffee shop below... You know me, and you, coffee is a must... 500php per night... I would only have a problem with the CR.. I have to do #1 a couple of times per night, and I think I would be awake again after a walk down stairs... Thanks again for the video, Rod...
Thanks Bruce. I have never stayed in a hostel but my experience with sleeping several to a room is that someone will be snoring and keeping me awake all night.
Personally I would never stay at a Hostel but I know it’s something that many young travelers on a budget enjoy. What I really like about this Hostel is that it’s made from shipping containers. I’d love to build a house with containers, they are definitely stronger than most buildings.
Two things: 1) skulls on wall with bench seating?! You can sit but do not lean back as the skulls will bite your back. 2) $10/night.... $300/month?! I believe you can get a single hotel room at a monthly rate comparable to that pricing. And nightly I suspect got for not much more; So why share with up to eleven other strangers?
Nice place for a minimalist! Looked very clean and the coffee shop will cocktails was nice. How about a safe storage place for belongings? Thanks Rod, Salamat!
@ forever curious I'm 64 and I would stay there for awhile do you have weekly rates I also have a locktote bag so no worries. Nice for older single guys for sleeping. Who stays inside all day anyways?
Rod, A very economical option for the younger crowd. Being brand new, it's of course clean and I was impressed with the hardwood floors. I liked your comment, "the CR includes toilet paper". Daniel
HQ Hostel 8-12 mixed bed dorm with common bathroom is $10 per bed. over the street is the San Jose Pension house Which had air condition double rooms with cable TV own bathroom free wifi for $12. There are so many new hostels in cebu. With dorms. prices from $5 per bed. Rod can you please do a video on reddoorz Zapatera. Not far from Queensland. They have air condition double rooms from $8. Queensland manor is also now on airb&b for 800 a night.
Thanks Paul. I will look into it. There are dozens or hundreds of cheap hotels, pension houses, and hostels in town. Reddoorz is a marketing and booking company with many hotels under its label now.
It’s for Backpackers and not us expats that’s for sure. Even though it’s new and clean I’d never be able to fall asleep with strangers in my room snoring or etc. Also many backpackers are smelly from my experience LOL
I saw the rooms on AirBnb and they wanted like a little over 1K per person or room of 8 for almost 7K. But i think the price for 1 person is too much,.,. could have gotten a studio room for that price else where.
Nice , clean colorful and stylish place. Not so good for me with the bathrooms downstairs, but that's hostel living I guess.:) You missed going over the most important house rule at the front desk Rod--"No lascivious behavior will be tolerated and will be punishable by law." Some backpackers might make it hard for conscientious group travelers and other backpackers, by being slobs and bringing the new place down, but I hope not. I once saw a female backpacker washing her dirty feet in the ladies comfort room sink while in transit at the old Mactan airport. Rod--I recently read in Sunstar about a new "pod" hotel opening in Cebu, like those immaculate looking ones often found in Tokyo. I pondered the overall hygiene of pods used by some backpackers here in the tropics. You might want to find about more about it.
Thanks Regina. I have never stayed in a hostel and I think the noise and snoring would bother me. I did read about the pod hotel also and will try to get by there one day. Group stay with strangers could be interesting or a nightmare.
I don't know if I could stay at one of those places for longer than 1 day. I'd rather stay at a cheap hotel.
I have also always had trouble sleeping with other people making noise so this would be a challenge for me M D.
Nice. I can house the relatives here and I stay somewhere else. Joke lang oi.
LOL. That is not a bad idea Bob.
Thanks Rod. Little pricey for me for what I get. I would check it out just to see that beautiful clerk.
Thanks Junabia and safe travels.
True manis...one of the reasons why i go there...😅😅
Thank u sir ! But i don’t work there anymore ☺️
@@pobrenglakwatsera2429 I hope you're doing well considering the pandemic

@@AmazingPhilippines1 I know how you are with the noise... They would have to watch out for me!!! Hehehe... I sleep right through the snoring...
Obviously for a much younger crowd than I’m used to anymore. Probably would have loved it when I was twenty.
Noise has always bothered me when trying to sleep so it probably wouldn't work for me but it is a cheaper option Anthony.

Thanks. Backpackers love these hostels.
Colorful and beautiful place
Thanks Dan.
Backpacker type of lodgings methinks Sir Rod. Lovely lady from Danbantayan, a deserved compliment. Lol.
There are lots of backpackers looking for new places. I have never stayed in a hostel but it is an option for some.

Thanks John. Good points. Communal living doesn't appeal to me either.
Nice place for a minimalist! Looked very clean and the coffee shop will cocktails was nice. How about a safe storage place for belongings? Thanks Rod, Salamat!
Thanks fatherwolfs. Backpackers love these type of places. I think they are still working on the secure storage but I didn't get the details.
Yes, we have storage for bags and individual lockers
@ forever curious I'm 64 and I would stay there for awhile do you have weekly rates I also have a locktote bag so no worries. Nice for older single guys for sleeping. Who stays inside all day anyways?
You have a slight humorous sense over the colourful skeletons hung on the blue wall. good question.
LOL. Thanks Kali.
I might want to stay awhile before I settle in Baguio city. Thx Rod Been waiting for a video like this thx for the info!
Thanks Philip. It is an option.
hello man my new friend watching from manila
Rod,
A very economical option for the younger crowd. Being brand new, it's of course clean and I was impressed with the hardwood floors. I liked your comment, "the CR includes toilet paper".
Daniel
Thanks Daniel. I have never stayed in a hostel but it is a great option for many trying to save money.
Nice video.
Thanks Anthony.
Rod I don’t do shared accommodation ever , why would I when you can get private room for 20$
There are a lot of hostels in the Philippines but I also prefer more privacy Jim.
It's 10USD
Tax included?

This is the same owner as Queensland and Queensland Manor
It’s for Backpackers and not us expats that’s for sure. Even though it’s new and clean I’d never be able to fall asleep with strangers in my room snoring or etc.
Also many backpackers are smelly from my experience LOL
LOL. I agree Yuri. They had 3 guests for several months but look closed now.
I saw the rooms on AirBnb and they wanted like a little over 1K per person or room of 8 for almost 7K. But i think the price for 1 person is too much,.,. could have gotten a studio room for that price else where.
Interesting. Thanks Jon. Airbnb tends to be higher with their fees but that is too high for a bed in a shared room.
Do they have lockers to keep valuables or a suitcase?
Many hotels do but not sure about this one Peter. Contact them directly and carry a good lockable bag.
Nice. That skulls in the wall though. I don't know the back story of that skulls wall design but it might just be an appealbfor their demographics.
Thanks. I don't know the story of the skulls either.
I can see this if you young, and on a tight budget, or traveling with a large group of friends. Quite a QT showing you around.
I agree Oozlefinch. This is who usually uses these hostels.
I lived that way in the Army back in the 70s... never again...lol
I don't sleep well in noisy environments so I suspect someone will be snoring Jim.
That Totally looks like something I'd never do.
Thanks John. I have never stayed in a hostel but they are popular with backpackers.
Were there any lockers to secure your personal belongings?
I asked and I think they planned but I don't know the details Rudy.
The lockers are still being placed 😁
@ forever curious I'm now very curious myself lol
Nice!
Thanks Jason.
I don't think I would stay with them but I wouldn't mind staying with the receptionist
Thanks Ken and I understand completely.
I wouldn’t want to be there in the middle of the night in a fire. Reminds me of Bangaladesh.
I haven't been to Bangaladesh but hostels are quite common in many places of the world Thom.
Not with 12 beds to a room mate. I’ve only seen that in Singaphore
Hey rod, did you say overnight for 10 dollars ?
I live next door David and did not stay here.
An exact duplicate of a typical army barracks I used to bunk in during my army days
LOL. Thanks Chee.
Hopefully the person next bunk doesn't snore😋
LOL. I agree, but chances are someone will be snoring or making noise.
salamat po
Thanks Sandy.
you can have your own room with that price at reddoorz
Reddoorz is a marketing and booking company with several hotels now listed Leonelle with many different prices.

Might meet some hot backpacking women there also lol! Maybe ?
That is quite possible Philip.
i enjoy your videos and u always have nice info whn u check out new place
Thanks suni214. It is an enjoyable learning experience for me also.
