It's expensive for what it is. I try to never let bad comments and objectively I'm still alive but the people working there need to make an effort on the cleanliness of the place.

The staff wasn't super helpful, showers weren't working much (0 pressure, dirty to a very high extent, trash everywhere, and cold water which I don't mind it's usual in the Philippines)

You should avoid this place at all costs, it's dirty and the owners don't care about anything.

The rate

The room and rest room

Near restos and bars

Very far from what’s advertised. Booked a quadruple room for 3pax but was told that none was available upon our arrival. Staff suggested that we can opt to get a shared room for 6pax but there would be other people with us. Made me pay 2x of what we should have paid here in booking.com just so we could get a room for ourselves. Bathroom was not working and we were just told about this when we already paid and entered the room, he suggested using common CRs on the first floor but none of the faucets actually work and it was filthy. Main door of the room did not fully close and was broken so there was no sense of security during our stay. We still ended up bringing our stuff when we went outside to drink. None of us wanted to sleep there cause it was so dirty. We ended up staying for about 8 hours total (considering that we went outside to drink and eat dinner) and ultimately went home to sleep.

The location

The bathroom not clean

The accessibility to other places.

The staff and the prooerty itself! The guy is very unprofessional and rude! Property is very dirty and bad smell! The showers and cctv is broken! The light is too bright for the upper deck!

I can't say you will find a better location in Makati at this price If you are on a budget, I highly recommend this hostel Even though on my last night in Manila, I had booked a single bedroom at this hostel, when I checked in to this hostel, the staffs say it is unavailable or not supposed to be listed. And when the staff proceed to show my a bed in a dormitory and accidentally forgot to return my money nor suggest me to cancel my booking.com reservation nor rebook a bed. I find the incident a little questionable. Enjoy your trips Edwin

Location is the best. 2nd floor has a bed with no wifi. The lobby can use chairs and tables

Unfortunately, nothing in the booking.com description is true. So none.

Nothing is good in this hostel. Toilets are dirty. You feel like vomiting just seeing the place. The staff will not even show you where the toilet is. You have to figure it out yourself. No water bottle as in the description. Very misleading booking.com description No shower gel or shampoo. No toilet flush. It is so dirty. It is next to "Secret" club. There is no access card. Towels are already ripped. No proper bed sheet. They used a blanket to cover the bed. Not a fitted cover.

La Ubicación

From the very beginning, my experience at One Junction Hostel Manila was extremely disappointing. When I arrived, there was no one at the reception, and I had to wait around 30 minutes before someone finally showed up. Despite having already booked and paid in advance for a two-person room, I was told that no such room was available. After a frustrating argument with the receptionist, they eventually agreed to give me a bed in a dorm – not what I had booked. The building is in terrible condition and looks nothing like the photos shown online. Everything feels neglected and dirty. The bathrooms are probably the worst part: most of them are broken, extremely dirty, smell awful, and none of the sinks in the entire building work – meaning there's practically nowhere to brush your teeth or wash up properly. I also saw cockroaches, and the whole place is infested with mosquitoes. There are no lockers available to keep your belongings safe, which adds to the feeling of insecurity during your stay. Honestly, if you’re considering staying here, I strongly recommend you don’t. There are far better options in Manila. This was by far one of the worst hostel experiences I've had.

The building maybe old but it is centrally located to many restaurants & Cafes. For a more comfortable stay, maybe consider Z hostel or mad monkey one block away.

They need a more visible sign. The hostel building is beside "Secret"

overall it is good since I came here last 2020 and nothing new. it is a comfy place to stay for a cheap price

the bathroom is not clean and even doesn't have a bidet to use

Nothing

The amount of bugs

If you want to be in the party area of Makati, this is a good spot (not exactly my cup of tea). Lots of great coffee spots and vegan restaurants nearby.

Unfortunately, I can't pinpoint a single thing that I did like. When I wanted to check in, the hostess first claimed that I didn't have a reservation (which I did, and I had messaged the hostel prior to arriving too), and then showed me a dorm bed (although I'd booked a private double room). When I said that I hadn't booked a dorm room but a private room, the hostess suggested that I go to another hostel. I stood my ground, and she finally found my booking but said that the room wasn't ready. We agreed that I should come back later to check-in. The room itself was not clean, the power plugs hung out from the walls, and the interior was utterly uncharming. The shared bathrooms didn't have toilet paper, toilet seats, or hand soap. The property was also dirty and run down. For some reason, one of the caretakers also decided to start cleaning all the bathrooms (right outside my room) at 9:30pm, and with absolutely no soundproofing, it was very disturbing. I've stayed in basic hostels many times before, and I didn't expect a luxury experience, but this is probably the worst hostel experience in the almost two decades that I've been backpacking.
