Overall, you get what you paid for. It's really cheap and was pretty clean for a hostel. The only real negative things are that it is far from most places and there is no lockbox to use. The owners are really nice though and helped me plan my whole trip. Great for the first night you are in the Phillipines or even the last (it is really close to the airport)

a comfortable, clean, and friendly place, useful for using the airports. just a 10 peso jeepney ride from airport. nice to get a feel of filipino everyday life on the fringes of the city. hostel is well worn but clean and staff are friendly...

it's not in the heart of the city, but still a good location. Ideal if you want to avoid the touristy areas, all the locals are really friendly and helpful.

The owners are wonderful people, they really helped us out. Heed their warning about any taxis: make SURE to ask them to turn on the meter and make sure it is running. Don't let them take your receipt so you can report them afterwards. We got scammed. Location is far from downtown Manila, if you plan to go there, note that it took us 2 hours by jeepney in bad traffic just to get to the last stop on the subway! Close to airport, good security though the street is not so well-lit.

They have a friendly gaurd dog who loves a pat. The owners were very helpful. We travelled in a group of 5 and they were more than accomodating. A good place to stay if you want to explore South Luzon by day.

The woman and man that run the place are the cutest and nicest people around. They are so helpful and very knowledgeable of how to get to different places. They also have connections with Philippine Airlines.
