The Hostel is located in in a nice part of Quezon City; and a very short walk to restaurants and cafes. The rooms are comfortable. The bathrooms are clean. WIFI is included or a computer is available for use at a charge. The staff at this hostel are amazing; and some of the most courteous and friendliest people we met in Manila city. During an issue with some missing luggage we had before we arrived they bent over backwards to help sort it out. I highly recommend this hostel.

actually it was okay to stay some nights as a backpacker who is looking for low budget. But the room was totally sticky and in the bathrooms there was no toilet paper even not after asking...very sad! The location ws okay, you could easily walk to the next main street or to bus stop.

Glad you enjoyed our backpacker place, where many tourists come to enjoy the nightlife of Morato Avenue & Timog Avenue, Quezon City. Our prices are not low budget, but fair prices. On your complaints, we are sorry, and we have alerted our staff. We need to train further our friendly staff, so they can be more efficient. I know your country Germany is famous for efficiency, sorry here in Philippines we are more laidback but more known for friendliness. We need to improve... The room that you used was newly-repainted? Sorry, because we were full that night you arrived. No excuses here, just explanations and sincere sorry. We shall be better, thanks to your honest comments here. Strawberry hopes to be sweet experience for travellers, and we are going to improve. Thank you, Merry Christmas!

Nice hostel with friendly staff. Quezon city is rather far from the main sights of Manila but the hostels location is quiet and safe. The room and showers were okay.

Good value for the money, decent location although a bit hard to find unless you can ask locals in the area. The room was nice with a/c and I ended up having a dorm to myself. The atmosphere was quiet so didn't seem like a party place while I was there at least.

Thank you for your positive comments about Strawberry Hometel :) Yes, we're not a noisy party place, but a quiet sleep & relaxation place, because right outside along Morato Avenue, Timog Avenue and nearby Roces Avenue are all-night entertainment/party/nightlife places of Quezon City & Metro Manila. So much fun and partying outside, so we assure you safe & quiet place here in Strawberry Hometel for a sweet experience. We're a simple nice, secure hostel with affordable room prices. All rooms and dorms are air-conditioned. All toilet/baths have hot & cold showers too.

First of all, Merry Christmas! Second, thank you for commenting Strawberry Hometel is "excellent value for cost", we aim to be even better! We are not only affordable and fair in room prices & aircon dorms, we want to be a sweet experience to our travellers like the delicious and healthy strawberry fruit. Did you see the art works by top young Filipino painters on our walls, especially the strawberry-inspired art work? Third and most UNFORGIVABLE, we the management quickly reprimanded our friendly staff for serving you warm beer, that is so horrible and embarrassing!!! We the owners are young travellers, beer and wine lovers too, so can we offer you free cold beer and free dinner the next time you come again here? Please kindly email us? Tell staff to call us the owners, because we owe you not only sincere apology, not only free cold beers, but nice hot dinner too. On the shower, our technician quickly fixed the shower in that one room. All our showers work, and we have hot & cold showers too. Glad you enjoyed the free WiFi here. Again, Merry Christmas! You didn't mention the diverse entertainment, nightlife, arts & culture of our neighborhood here, hope you explored and enjoyed our prime location? Thank you so very much. Our hostel is not cheapest only, but fun prime location that many young tourists, backpackers love to experience. We are continuously improving too. :)
