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.

This was one of the best hotel I stayed at in Manila. I had some hesitations about the shared toilet and bathroom, but they were quite clean by Philippine standards. The hotel even has a pool, so you can sit by the pool in the evening and meet other guests. However, our room didn't have a window and was a bit damp. The only downside of the hotel is that the surroundings aren't very safe. You need to be cautious around the hotel if you're a foreigner. Mall of Asia is only 10-minutes by Jeepney. The hotel is also close to the airport for those leaving the city.

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!

This is my second time staying at this hotel, and I still enjoy every visit. One of its biggest advantages is its excellent location right within the Makati Central Business District (CBD), making it very convenient for both business and leisure travelers. The room is spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained. The air conditioning works properly, keeping the room cool throughout the day and night. Housekeeping is also commendable, with the bed sheets being changed daily, which helps maintain cleanliness and comfort during the stay. One thing to note is that there is no Wi-Fi available inside the rooms. However, Wi-Fi is accessible in the lobby area, which may be sufficient for guests who only need occasional internet access. The bathroom is quite compact and primarily designed for shower use, but it is functional and adequate for a short stay. I also appreciate that the hotel provides a bidet, which is an important feature for many travelers. During my stay, I noticed a few cockroaches here and there. While this did not significantly affect my overall experience, it is an area where the hotel could improve its housekeeping and pest control measures. Overall, I still find this hotel to be a good value for money because of its strategic location, spacious rooms, reliable air conditioning, and daily housekeeping service. Despite a few minor drawbacks, I would still consider staying here again on future visits to Makati.

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 🤣

A unique old hotel where some rooms have a car garage. Fast and satisfying service. There is no elevator for rooms on the second floor. So those bringing large suitcases will be helped by the hotel staff. What I like about this hotel is its security, where there are security guards who always guard and supervise every guest. I especially admire the friendly and attentive female security guards. For the room, I said it was okay because it was quite spacious, clean, and comfortable. I didn't try the breakfast so I can't write a review for it. This hotel is close to a small jeepney terminal and a night market, there are also many restaurants and malls nearby. Just a 10-15 minute walk. When I checked in, I was asked for a 5,000 peso deposit (very large). Since I didn't have enough pesos because I was leaving Manila the next day, when I said I was giving a deposit in Ringgit, dollars, or yen, they allowed me not to give a room deposit. I also don't understand why the deposit was so large. When I gave Ringgit and asked for a receipt, the officer at that time didn't give it and returned my Ringgit. It was very suspicious not to want to provide proof of receipt.

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!

Facilities: Well-equipped. Cleanliness: Spotless. Ambiance: Elegant. Service: Excellent. The location is very easy to find, right on the street, next to a BDO bank, and there are many dining options nearby, which is super convenient. There are large common areas on both the 5th and 2nd floors, and the internet connection is also very good. All the staff are very friendly.
