Bunk 5021 Hostel

The beds are very comfortable, and the elevators are quick. There’s also a bar and restaurant on the first floor with live music. Staff were pleasant and smiling. The bathrooms could’ve been cleaner, though. Good location, and I’d recommend it.

I arrived at night and didn’t know what sort of area it was. It wasn’t dangerous or loud, though it did feel a little too entertaining for me! The elevator goes to the rooms inside the building. I didn’t take any room photos, but the upkeep, hygiene, and facilities were honestly better than I expected.

The dorm facilities were really nice: clean, with thick curtains for privacy and blocking the light, plus a toiletries pack. The two stars are mainly because of the noise and how the towel policy was handled. People were talking loudly and making noise from midnight until 4am, waking me up repeatedly with no consideration for anyone else. I heard some say they weren’t even staying in our room, just continuing a party after meeting at the bar downstairs. Staff came by too, so it seemed to be accepted. I wouldn’t choose this place unless I only needed a bed before an early flight. There are assigned towel hooks in the open area, each marked for a dorm. I left my towel on mine before bed, but it was gone the next morning. Staff said I was responsible and had to pay 330 pesos. They apologized, but apparently there was no flexibility in the rule. That seems ridiculous when the towels aren’t marked, so I could’ve taken somebody else’s and said it was mine.

The rooms have a more muted look, with softer lighting, and come in 10, 6, and 4 bed configurations. Each bed has its own outlet and bulb. Private rooms were still under construction when I visited. The lobby and bar stand out for their unusual design, colorful mix, and interesting details, very Instagram-friendly. The shared toilet and bath on the second floor are among the most colorful I’ve seen.
