Hostels in Metro Manila, Philippines

[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 location was nice, it is nearby to the closest LRT station, you just have to walk for a little. If it is not such a hassle, choose this hostel. When we first came in, the room smelled nice. Even though there is only one fan in the room, the room is still comfortable to stay in, it is not hot. Also, if you’ll be staying for a night this is the perfect place to stay in because they only provide beds for you to sleep in, but if you’d like to have more stuff that you can actually use while you’re at your stay, that has more amenities, this is not for you. Lastly, I actually commend the shared bathroom. It is clean and has a bidet and also a toiletry that you can use. All in all, our stay is good. This is also our first time to check-in, so, not bad for the first time. Also, it is a budget-friendly place to stay in. Keep it up!

This is an excellent hostel! I've only stayed in a few hostels before, once in Barcelona and once in Manila. This Japanese-style hostel is incredibly clean and tidy. Each room only accommodates four people and has key card access. There are also large individual lockers. I was lucky to have quiet roommates, so I slept very well. By the way, the beds are really soft. The common areas are great, with a dedicated workspace and a media room. The bathrooms and toilets all have individual stalls, and there are plenty of them, so you don't have to worry about waiting even when it's busy. It's very close to the airport; a taxi ride there in the morning cost about 210 pesos. It's also near Mall of Asia, about a 20-minute walk away. It’s a nice stroll, and you can catch the stunning Manila Bay sunset there around dusk.

I stayed here on the first day of my backpacking trip. They kindly held my luggage for me even before check-in time, which was a huge help. The area around the hostel is very lively, and it really buzzes on weekend nights. There are tons of clubs and bars, though it felt like there weren't as many dining options. It was quite an intense start to my solo trip! The area seemed safe; I didn't experience anyone trying to scam me or rip me off.

Awesome stay at City flts Amorsolo this time. I love it. Safe also, kind staff and very much welcoming. I love that they have a breakfast resto outside. No nice. Very accessible.

I book a shared-room for a few week days. The room is generally clean. I've had an issue with shower heater not heating up and shower room ventilation is not really good in my booked room. I politely informed them about it so I hope the hotel admin put effort removing molds on the 2F shower room ceiling. I appreciate the roomkeeppers for being so helpful and the duty guards for the safe stay. Makati is generally safe but they make it extra with security. Overall, I will still consider the place for short-term budget stays but manage your expectations.

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!

I had a one-night transit, so I chose this place to rest. The staff were enthusiastic, and the location was convenient for getting around, however, the soundproofing was poor, so it was a bit noisy (the hotel provided earplugs). Overall, it was quite good and more comfortable than the airport.

Good place to stay on a budget. It’s a bit far from the main spots, but everything is still easy to reach. The only downside is that there’s no Wi-Fi in the room, but they do let you know about that before booking.

The place is clean and organized. There's shampoo and body soap but make sure to bring conditioner. No toothbrush and toothpaste provided but they sell them for a cheap price. Overall my stay was good. I checked in very late and they give step by step instructions on how to self check-in. Did not get a good sleep tho because one lady in the shared room I booked in was snoring loudly which was distracting (not the hostel's fault lol).
