Hostels in Metro Manila, Philippines

The hotel is easy to locate due to it is accessible in the nearest MRT station which can be walk. A lot of restaurants can also bw found here.

The hostel was a decent place to stay, especially for a short trip. The location was convenient and close to the airport, which made getting around and catching my flight much easier. The room was fairly clean overall, it was a practical and affordable option for a quick overnight stay near the airport. Take to account that you need a room upgrade if you’re looking for an air conditioned room.

This was my third stay at Yamato Hostel, and I honestly keep coming back because of the overall experience. The place has a really nice aesthetic, it’s always clean, and the price is hard to beat. And super close to MOA and NAIA. It’s one of those hostels that gives you great value for your money! That said, I did notice a few things during my latest stay that I hope can be improved: • The Wi-Fi has gotten noticeably slower. I had a hard time getting work done, and to make things worse, mobile data isn’t very reliable inside because the signal is pretty weak. This needs to be fixed since a lot of guests I saw are working too. • The hot shower was inconsistent. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t, which can be a little inconvenient after a long day. • The upper bunk on the 3rd floor female dorm gets REALLY hot. 😅 It honestly felt like a sauna at times, so maybe there’s an issue with the air conditioning on that floor. I’ve stayed in the 2nd floor mixed dorm before and never had this problem, so I hope they can check it out. Even with those issues, I’d still come back. That’s how much I like this place. 😂 I even asked if they had a loyalty membership like other hotels and hostels because I’ve stayed here a few times already, but sadly they don’t (yet!). Also, don’t skip the coffee shop on the ground floor, it’s good and definitely worth trying during your stay. Overall, I’d still highly recommend Yamato Hostel, especially if you’re looking for a clean, stylish, and affordable place to stay. Hoping they can improve the Wi-Fi, hot shower, and air conditioning because this place has so much potential. I’ll definitely be back!

The staff were friendly. Wi-Fi is only available in the common area (1st floor). The shower, which I guess is normal in the Philippines, was the overhead type and I found it difficult to use as I'm not used to it. The futon was clean. I didn't use the toilet.

bf kicked me out of the bnb and had to get a quick hotel for the rest of my stay in Manila! rooms were aight, you get what you pay for yk. its in a really good area i think, it wasnt a hassle for me to get anywhere, its walking distance to poblacion so that was fun. the staff was really nice and accommodating and not rude at all, which was refreshing. i was gonna go and party my last night but took a nap in their bed and woke up at 4 am…… I COULDNT PARTY 🥲 aight hotel for a solo traveler that got kicked out of the airbnb, and if youre tryna cut costs , and actually spend time out of the hotel and walk around AND THEY HAVE HOT WATER FOR SHOWERS dont have pics of the hotel but ill show my trip instead

A very good location in this ugly city. Though it was hard to find it. The room is small, service is good. The girls in the room were very friendly. I tried to use public buses nearby and failed, they didn't stop at the ”bus stop area”, wasted time. So only used metro

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 🤣

Amazing place. It's a love hotel that could actually work as a stopover if you're ready to experience Manila as it truly is. I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness: no insects in the room, no dirt, and a clean jacuzzi, which isn't always the case even in more expensive hotels in Moscow. One of the hotel staff, a gecko, clearly protected us from insects! However, the bathrooms definitely need fixing. The pipes on both floors are leaking, which has led to a persistent puddle of stagnant water that never dries up. The mattress was firm, perhaps too much so for our liking. And the stairs are quite steep, which might not be comfortable for everyone. The hotel staff were generally friendly; I'm sure they would have been willing to help if needed, but we didn't have any issues. However, no one took the initiative, so over our three-day stay, we weren't even offered fresh towels or trash removal, which was a bit disappointing. The location is convenient because it's close to the airport (this was a big draw for us, as we only had two days in Manila). But on the other hand, stepping outside the hotel plunges you into the surrounding poverty: markets, homeless people. In the evenings, it felt a bit uncomfortable getting around without a taxi. I'd recommend taking a taxi every time you return after sunset. And yes, being close to the airport means plane noise day and night, so be prepared for that. All in all, my wife and I enjoyed our stay at the hotel, and we might even consider returning next time.

The location is good. The staffs are nice. The place is clean as well. However, I wish they’s spray the room with some kind of air freshener as well. The room smelled like a person’s sweat when you open the door. Good thing I brought a perfume with me to hang in.

It's beautiful, clean, and affordable with plenty of food options nearby, plus there's a coffee shop right next door. Super accessible! The staff are incredibly kind. I loved that the air conditioning was already on when I checked in, which was a huge plus! The bathroom is clean and spacious. Honestly, it deserves all the praise. But, if you plan to use the locker, please bring your own lock as it's not provided. That's all, thank you so much!
