August 31, 2018 stayed there for 1 night next early morning to catch the plane but too noisy the whole time that I stayed, next doors on both sides always have people non stop knocked on and making too much noise. This is a place with the prostitutes, drunks. Complained to front desk, just said sorry a few times, nothing changed.

Should be a 1 star hotel
This should be only a 1-star hostel. I have been availing a hotel reservation system for several years for local and outside the country stay and usually pick at least 2-star hotels. In terms of the location, amenities, cleanliness, this was sub par with the others. The only 2-star feature which is the same with others is the price. I have killed 1 roach on the first day, 2 on the 2nd day, and 3 on the 3rd day with 1 escapee. The pictures were misleading, it was actually dark. The water slowly goes down the sink. The ceiling fan does not rotate and has clicking sounds. If this was rated a 1-star hotel, my expectations will be lower and this will have a better review, but it was not.
We had a private room with shared bathroom.
The price is good and the Location is great for Nightlife and we where impressed that even if exactly in the center of nightlife, we still had not any problem to sleep at night
We had a trip to Nueva Ecija the day after and we asked them if we can leave our Backpack in the hotel for 1 day or maybe 2, and they kept it for us without the need to pay.
Have nothing to complain

i regularly stay at this hotel and am still waiting for them to improve wifi reception in rooms (barely any in rooms but strong in common area) and for the bunk beds ladder to be better
Nice place To stay. We were in the double room. The bathroom is outside and you have some showers but not really Nice To use. This was good located. We take a uber from the airport for 2$. The bar in the same building is really cool too !

you get what you paid for
just ok nothing special. getting to the top bunk is still as difficult as before. wish they'd put a different ladder
The hostel is great, clean, good service and comfortable. The location can be also great, or not, that depends on your taste. But over all, they have a clean and comfortable place which is worth the cheap price.
This place right in the middle of the red light district. The wifi only really works in the common area if that, which is not air conditioned. Walls are thin and can hear the neighbors talking. Dorm with AC is on or off type. The showers are shoulder width tiny with no where to hang your clothes. Breakfast includes toast and different jams.
The hostel is a good place to stay, meet new people, and sleep within the Makati area. However, the only downside is the location as it's on the Red Light District so there's a lot of shady things going on the street below.
BTW: the wi-fi is really good.
I had a very pleasant stay there. Staff were very friendly and property was clean. They provided a free breakfast of 3in, bread, peanut butter and cheese spread.
