Very good breakfast and on the top floor with view over the city. All was perfect and a very welcoming attitude. I felt being at home and at the same time on a journey. The generous atmosphere made it natural to have a conversation with everybody. The staff was comfortably active in meeting me as a newcomer. Very unusual reception. What more to wish? Nothing.

Looking for a hostel?

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.

    I enjoyed my stay at Z Hostel. Great location with lots of food and drink options. The room and bed were comfortable. Hostel hosts Mark and Fernando were extremely helpful with traveller tips and restaurant recommendations. I recommend joining the daily hostel organised walking tour to get your bearings in Poblacion and to meet other new arrivals, particularly if travelling on your own.
