Located within 800 metres of Smart Araneta Coliseum and 6.2 km of Shangri-La Plaza, The Millas Hostel provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Manila.

I booked one night at The Millas Hostel to attend a concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. I was pleasantly surprised because the venue was just an 8-10 minute walk away, following a straight path with no turns. Although I didn’t spend much time at the hostel, I loved it; the ambiance was cozy and homey, just to my liking. I appreciated Madam Ligaya, the owner, who warmly welcomed and entertained me even though I arrived very early. Her son EJ, the manager, was also warm and kind. Their hospitality was top-notch, and my cousin and I even had a small chitchat with them. As a solo traveler both here and abroad, I can confidently say that Millas Hostel is among my top five favorite hostels worldwide. From their amenities to the complimentary breakfast, it’s really worth the stay. Millas Hostel will be my go-to place whenever I’m in Manila. If you’re a solo traveler or in a group attending a concert or simply exploring the city, this is the perfect haven. It’s accessible to public transport, convenience stores, restaurants, and more.

Located in Poblacion, Makati City, Z Hostel offers stylish and comfortable accommodation with free WiFi access throughout the property.

The breakfast was included in the price and it was fine - bread, eggs, coffee, juice. I liked the friendliness of the reception, guards and the restaurant. Also, the welcome drink and the building top view was super nice.

Perfect for an overnight stay after arriving from the airport. They provide a very convenient shuttle service, which although more expensive than grab, gives peace of mind knowing that a driver is waiting for your arrival.

The location is great - you can walk safely even during the night. But if you don’t want to do so they have a nice rooftop bar on site! We has our flight really early and their take away breakfast was really good - one of the best we’ve ever got in Asia!

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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.
