It's a bit of a hassle getting here from the airport but this hostel is centrally located and is near the metro and buses. ||||They ask for a P1000 deposit when you arrive. The beds are bigger than normal and have full size lockers that you can put your rucksack in. (bring your own lock).||||They have not stuffed the room full of beds so there is plenty of space. Free wifi in reception but as with all of the Philippines, it's excruciatingly slow.||||Staff are efficient but don't seem to know anything about the local area, Manila or the Philippines. They also have no maps. Make sure you pick one up from the airport arrivals desk when you arrive.

March 2024 Stayed in Room D15 last week because the other single rooms were unavailable. It was one of the Family rooms and right on the GF. It was so much more convenient to go to the toilet compared to the other rooms on the 2nd floor. If you don't want to walk down the stairs every time you need to pee, just book a family room.
August 2024 Same observation as before. No major issues encountered in my latest stay. Got a family room again and only...
Read moreJusme, I initially reserved a room for a night only but I made another booking for another night since I was notified that my stay will be longer. Tapos they insist that I have to checkout at 12:00 then checkin again at 2:00pm??? What's the point of that if I booked two nights already.
Anong difference nyan sa pageextend ng another night while you are still in your room. I've been booking hotels for 5 years and if you book 2 nights separately that equates to a 2 night stay and you don't have to checkout then checkin again. They want me to pay another 280 pesos for the 2 hours gap between the booking lol.
I DON'T REALLY SEE A POINT...
