I
have
been
trying
different
hostels
in
Makati
and
my
most
recent
stay
is
at
Bunk
5021.
Before
we
talk
about
the
good
sides,
let's
get
the
negatives
out
of
the
way.
I
booked
a
4-bed
shared
room
for
my
2-day
stay
yet
when
I
arrived,
they
put
me
in
the
one
with
6
beds.
They
reasoned
that
the
a/c
in
the
room
that
I
booked
has
a
problem
and
apparently,
the
other
4-bed
room
is
filled.
I
find
this
disappointing
because...
A.
This
shouldn't
be
my
problem,
at
the
least,
they
could
have
told
me
about
the
room
issue
before
I
arrived
so
I
could
manage
my
expectations.
B.
The
4-bed
is
slightly
more
expensive
than
the
6-bed,
yet
they
didn't
even
offer
to
refund
me.
I
hope
next
time
they
would
prevent
this
from
happening.
The
second
issue,
which,
unfortunately,
they
won't
be
able
to
address
is
that
it
is
located
in
Makati's
red
district.
Even
when
you
are
up
on
the
4th
floor,
you
will
be
hearing
the
noise
of
the
bars
downstairs
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
This
might
be
an
issue
for
light
sleepers,
but
nothing
that
a
pair
of
earplugs
cannot
solve.
So
that's
a
tip,
if
you're
staying
here,
bring
earplugs.
__________________________________________
On
the
good
side,
generally,
my
stay
at
Bunk
5021
has
been
good
because
of
the
following:
1.
The
staff
is
attentive
and
willing
to
provide
guests
what
they
need.
For
example,
on
my
first
day,
somebody
had
smoked
in
our
room,
the
smell
of
which
lasted
for
the
entire
night,
making
it
hard
for
me
to
sleep.
The
next
day,
I
went
to
the
reception
to
report
it.
When
I
requested
that
they
move
me
to
another
room,
they
obliged,
and
this
time,
they
put
me
in
a
room
that
I
booked,
the
one
with
4
beds.
2.
It
is
less
crowded
than
neighboring
hostels
in
the
area.
3.
The
food
in
their
bar/resto
is
cheap
but
delicious.
I
recommend
that
you
order
their
chicken
popcorn
and
pancit
lucban.
Non-guests
may
also
eat
there.
4.
The
restrooms
are
generally
clean.
5.
The
beds
are
comfy
and
they
have
the
best
locker.
Spacious
and
no
need
to
bring
your
own
lock
because
it
can
be
opened
and
locked
by
the
same
card
key
that
you
will
use
to
enter
the
bedroom.
6.
They
provide
toiletries
(toothbrush,
toothpaste,
shampoo,
and
soap).
7.
Rate
is
cheaper
than
other
hostels
in
the
area.
That's
it,
all
in
all,
I
liked
this
hostel.
