Champ International Hostel: Convenience for the sensible tourist

03/16/2008

The hotel industry has never been vibrant as of late, with star ratings getting outmoded in favor of convenience, rates, and services offered by establishments.. One of the wiser options nowadays for choosing a hotel is to go “budget” – especially for those who are in the metro for only a night.

The emergence therefore of “budget hotels” is a welcome change, coming at the heels of the “evolution” of the hotel industry and dictated by the economic conditions both here and abroad. One of the metro’s most sought-after budget hotels is the Champ International Hostel which is strategically located in the Kamias, Quezon City area. It offers not only convenience but also the comfort of a home.

The convenience is evident since the hostel is near the transportation terminals located in Edsa. Add to that, it is near the Quezon City business district, just 30 minutes from Makati, an hour away from the airport, 10 minutes from the bus terminals in Cubao, and a block away from the MRT-Kamuning station. The hostel is just 20 minutes away from UP Diliman, the Elliptical Road where various government offices are located, and medical centers/ hospitals such as The Lung Center, Heart Center, and V. Luna.

“The hostel provides an excellent service and affordable rooms for as low as P550 per pax/night (based on twin sharing). This rate has attracted a steady stream of sensible businessmen coming from the provinces or even abroad, who only need to check-in a hotel, sleep for a few hours and leave again,” said Joseph Meneses, Hostel Manager.

More than that, businessmen don’t need to look for another venue if they need to hold important meetings, seminars, or workshops. Champ Hostel also offers function rooms which can accommodate a small group — perfect for brainstorming, reviews, or intimate gatherings. Food will not be a problem since the hostel also has a Pizza and Pasta restaurant.

Champ International Hostel provides an ample parking space and 24-hour security, and free Wi-Fi making it very convenient for guests who want to work on their laptops.

CHamp International Hostel is located at 26 Kamias Road, West Kamias, Quezon City. For more information and reservation, call 926-8985, 425-1398, 407-2515 or visit Web site at www.champhostel.com.
