I had a wonderful stay at this cozy new hostel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm and comfortable place to stay. I was a bit skeptical at first because the price was on the higher side for a hostel, but it was totally worth it. They’re still on soft opening, but everything was clean and organized and the staff were accommodating. I was actually the only guest during my visit, so it felt like I had the whole hostel to myself. The ambiance throughout the hostel and cafe is relaxed, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. The beds are spacious and comfortable, and I appreciated the built-in reading light and power outlets, which made it easy to relax and recharge (literally and figuratively). When it comes to safety, the place is well-covered with CCTVs throughout. While the rooms currently use traditional door locks (they’re planning to upgrade to keycards), I felt secure during my stay. There’s also a security guard on-site. Lockers are available in the hostel room but remember to bring your own padlock. The location is okay - just a short walk to Araneta City, so it’s super convenient if you’re watching a concert or catching a provincial bus out of the metro. One standout for me was the amazing Tapsilog meal for breakfast. I was expecting something basic, but it turned out to be a real treat. It’s clear that the team behind this hostel is passionate about what they’re building. While they’re still refining a few things as part of the soft launch, I’m confident it’ll only get even better from here. I have made a few recommendations to the management based on my experience and I hope they'll consider. I will definitely come back and recommend this place to others. ✨

Property is super nice! It’s the perfect location for someone who’s visiting for a couple nights and want to be close to the nightlife. Mind you, things would be slightly pricier than what you would be pay if you are a little outskirts. Otherwise, great location, lots of good bars, eateries around! People are super nice and helpful. 10/10 recommended!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    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.

You can go to Rizal Park, museum of fine arts, Oceanpark, Intramuros, Binondo etc. Its well connected to local transport. Everything you need nearby, hospital, farmacy atms. They had a working AC and Wifi. Extending our stay was quick and easy. Bunkbed prices in the dormitory are very cheap.
