    The hostel is good but not great. You’ve got Filipino workers basically residing there long-term so don’t expect anything social. The location is great for Metro Manila and it is located in a local and comparatively safe neighbourhood. Directly next to the hostel there is a great local (and ridiculously cheap) restaurant as well as a 7/11 if you get the munchies in the night. The security measures are outstanding and there are lockers if you have some stuff to store. The staff is available 24/7, speaks good English and is very helpful.

    The place itself is just nearby to lrt 1 light rail station which most of the tourist attraction is just all along the way. The hostel location is just 10 to 15 mins away from the Airport. The room is quiet spacious and the area is all spotless. To be honest, I have stayed for almost a fortnight it was all great experienced. And I must say all the staff were utterly accommodating, friendly, thoughtful and kind. The Filipino food is all good, tasty and cheap. Overall it's highly recommended especially if it's on a shoe string budget.
