Each of the customers take £1 back, and they let the manager keep the other £2.
Now, they paid £9 each, and 9x3=27. The manager got £2, so that makes £29. Where's the other pound gone?
the £2 the manager got is part of the £27 because they only paid £25 altogether for the room, therefore there is £3 remaining, and they all had £1 each

RE: Riddles
Damn you >.<
[Edit] to put it in another perpesctive:
Originally they had paid £30 for a bill of £30. Now they've paid £27 for a bill of £25, so the manager pocketed the remaining £2. The remaining £3 (not £1, as the £2 should be subtracted from their payment not added) is shared between the customers as they've taken £1 refund each.
So original situation:
HOTEL: £30
New situation:
HOTEL: £25
Manager: £2
Customers: £3
So their payment of £27 includes the manager's slice, and there's £3 "missing" in their wallets.

In correct way of counting
one of them has it since 8*3=24
But they got 25 pounds meaning one of the three has it
