Manila Hostels

"⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Great Budget Stay in Manila We stayed in Manila near Pres. Quirino Ave., and overall it was a good experience, especially for the price. The location is very convenient — close to Malate, restaurants, convenience stores, and accessible to public transportation. The room was simple but clean and comfortable enough for a short stay. Aircon was working well (very important in Manila!), and the staff were approachable and helpful whenever we had questions. It’s a good option if you’re looking for an affordable place under ₱1,000 per night. Don’t expect luxury, but for budget travelers, it’s worth it. Would consider staying here again."

"Yung room and service super okay. Ang problem dito eh yung parking nila, sobrang sikip sa basement. Pag SUV ang hirap na ipasok — may open parking naman kaso hindi mai-take risk kasi ang gusto eh iiwan ang car key sa parking attendant which is hindi okay at all. Sa parking lang talaga may problema dito, pero kung room and service pati food nila, super okay talaga."

"[The Good] Strategic Location: Perfect for a layover. Very close to the airport, which saved me a lot of time and stress. Cleanliness: The rooms are well-maintained and cleaner than I expected for a hostel. [The Bad] Cold Shower: Please note that there is no hot water. Be prepared for a cold shower. Bedding & Temperature Control: The room only has a fan, which was not a problem itself. However, they only provide a very thin sheet as a blanket. Even with just a fan, it felt quite cold at night, and the thin sheet wasn't enough to keep me warm. [Verdict] A solid, cost-effective choice for a short stay near the airport if you don't mind cold showers and bring an extra layer for sleep."

"The service is good. However, may konting prob lang yung kumot, kobre kama pati yung twalya. 😭 Mabait mga guards and other employees nila. Okay pa rin sa presyo. Recommended para sa mga nagbabudget lang."

"I arrived at 8pm at the hostel and I was warmly welcomed by the front desk officer. They offered me to get a free late check-in cocktails from the bar. This hostel is a perfect fit for solo travelers with budget. I slept in the 8-bed mixed dorm room and the size is quite huge for its price. I was the last guest in that room and everyone was really nice welcoming me. I got new friends from different part of the world such as Russia, Taiwan, The USA and Kenya. As Indonesian who is extremely extroverted, I am really happy with my kind roommate. The toilet is dry and there’s a curtain that separates the shower. You have to bring your own soap and shampoo or you can purchase them in the lobby. They provide towels but you should ask for it when you do the check in. The light breakfast and free drinks at 6 to 7pm everyday is the highlight of this hostel. If I am going back to Manila, I will definitely stay here again!"

"Mad Monkeys rarely disappoint & here's no exception, in the heart of Makatis Party district Poblacion, you'll find everything you need to have a blast. It's a very social space with a rooftop skybar/terrace & restaurant & ground floor cafe with outside patio. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm (305) which I have to admit is very cramped, the toilet doesn't flush well & the shower head holder is damaged. Also the mattresses still have the plastic covers on so they squeak like crazy, this could be resolved by placing plywood on the top bunks which would make a sound barrier. Other than that, great hostel, great staff, great service & you get a welcome drink when you check in. JOIN THE MADNESS 🤣"

"Definitely one of the cleanest, if not THE cleanest, of all the hostels I've been in. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The bed is comfortable, towel is provided, and the toilet and showers are well-maintained. Across the hostel is a store and a carinderia (eatery) where you can buy affordable food and drinks. Make sure to order buffalo chicken wings for only Php 250. The silog meals are sold for as low as Php 85. There's a bakery and a coffee kiosk too; both located across the hostel building. When you exit the hostel, there is a Samgyupsal place and laundrymat to the right. Good service and great people too! There is a balcony where you can eat food ordered from Grab or FoodPanda. Location is also near Robinsons Manila, Rizal Memorial Tennis Center, DLSU Taft, and many government offices. Love it here! I will book again."

"The dormitory was reportedly full when I checked in and the receptionist quickly offered a choice to put me up at a sister branch nearby, which I accepted. The bed was basic and clean. The restroom can improved improved in terms of cleanliness, but considering the high utilization I can accept. Overall, I recommend Dormitel Ermita for a quick stay in Manila."
