My partner stayed here for 2 weeks while waiting for me to arrive. Her stay was safe and comfortable in the women-only section. The included breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, toast, apple slices, and coffee. Her major complaint was with a self-centered roommate who insisted on silence while she slept all day. For an air-conditioned, safe facility with a women-only section, this is a very good place to stay.

All the staff at this hotel are kind and friendly. And if anything happens, they'll help you right away. I actually experienced it. There is a bar and a place to eat on the top floor, which is very comfortable. There are dormitory rooms and private rooms, but I didn't have to worry about anything because they were locked and everyone had common sense. This is a wonderful hotel where you can stay at a safe, secure and inexpensive price.

I was well from February 4th to 10th. It was kind and the rooftop was convenient for solving alcohol and food. Water and air conditioning were also good. However, there was no bed curtain and drainage was a little problem. Overall, it is grade A. And I didn't get a refund of 500peso deposit because I came out at dawn. Please take note and reflect it in the next booking..

Bedbugs...Bedbugs.... Bedbugs... Bedbugs... Did I mention that this place has bedbugs? I understand that accommodation gets bedbugs, but my friend was bitten quite badly by them when she stayed there. However, they refused to help my friend. I e-mailed them and my friend spoke to them about about helping my friend with some medication and they REFUSED, despite it being a legal obligation to provide assistance in these circumstances. My friend had to go to another hostel and cancel their remaining nights without a refund. If they had simply paid for medication for my friend and refunded her for her remaining nights, I wouldn't have had a problem. However, if they don't want to provide any medication for my friend, which is a basic legal requirement, then you should avoid this place. Could you trust them to help you if you had something more serious? Probably not.

BEST HOSTEL IN MANILA (and maybe anywhere)

Best hostel ever. I never leave reviews, but I LOVE this spot maybe more than any place that I've ever stayed. I've never stayed so long somewhere. I and other guests have taken side trips and return here. I haven't even left Manila because I like this hostel so much 1) The staff is AMAZING. I feel like some of them are almost cousins by the laughs and inside jokes that I and other guests share with them 2) We have a ridiculous 6-7 PM rooftop FREE UNLIMITED OPEN BAR. You can have a million drinks if you want (one at a time). This is why many of us don't even leave the building to party anywhere else. During my two weeks in Manila, I only left to party elsewhere ONE TIME and that was for the Super Bowl 3) Free breakfast on top that 4) The beds are comfortable. Most, if not all, of the dorms have bathroom ensuite. 5) All rooms have air conditioning 6) Free bottled water and occasional snacks 7) Delicious and cheap food at the rooftop restaurant 8) Strict armed doormen with surveillance cameras at the building entrance (this is somewhat normal in Philippines) 9) Impeccably clean: every day the staff works so hard to leave everything spotless 10) Common room with big screen TV 11) Games of all kind all over the property 12) Organized fun: music blares on the rooftop bar, but it ends at 1:30 AM and can barely be heard from the room. Right now, my bunkmates are peacefully snoring, and I have slept all day without being able to hear anything. Congratulations and thanks so much!

マニラローカルの生活を楽しめる立地!

コストパフォーマンがいいホステルですね。各ベッドには2つのコンセントがついてます。バックパッカー経験者なら快適と言えるでしょう。 特に立地がよく電車の駅も、徒歩5分くらいのところにあるし、駅付近には、フィリピンローカルに人気のJolibeeやMang INASALもあります。同時に、屋台も立ち並んでいるので、マニラローカルを体感しやすい場所だと思います。

마닐라 여행시마다 머무르는 숙소입니다. 친절함과 시설 등 전반적으로 괜찮습니다. 루프탑에서 친구를 사귀거나 맥주를 편하게 마실 수 있습니다. 다만 주변에 자동차 매연과 소음이 있어 혼란스럽습니다. 루프탑맥주가격도 조금 내려주시길 바랍니다. 다시 머무르고 싶은 숙소입니다.
