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!
Finally there’s an excellent hostel in Manila! The location is strategic, near commercial and fast food chains plus a lot of eateries nearby. The dorm room of 4 is clean and spacious and had complete amenities. They provide towel. However from personal experience I was a bit underwhelmed cos there’s no elevator and I had to carry my luggage up to the 3rd floor because IDK but some guests had assistance going up and I wasn’t given towel right away. I had to ask in the front desk!
Firm suggestion: I hope you enforce hostel rules stricter. I was disgusted by what I saw in the quiet room. Someone cutting their toenails so gross! And they were so noisy while in the quiet room my gosh. Also, the shower cubicles seemed like they were owned by people already leaving their personal toiletries there, what kind of behavior is that?
[The Good]
Strategic Location: Perfect for a layover. Very close to the airport, which saved me a lot of time and stress.
Cleanliness: The rooms are well-maintained and cleaner than I expected for a hostel.
[The Bad]
Cold Shower: Please note that there is no hot water. Be prepared for a cold shower.
Bedding & Temperature Control: The room only has a fan, which was not a problem itself. However, they only provide a very thin sheet as a blanket. Even with just a fan, it felt quite cold at night, and the thin sheet wasn't enough to keep me warm.
[Verdict]
A solid, cost-effective choice for a short stay near the airport if you don't mind cold showers and bring an extra layer for sleep.

Yung room and service super okay. Ang problem dito eh yung parking nila, sobrang sikip sa basement. Pag SUV ang hirap na ipasok — may open parking naman kaso hindi mai-take risk kasi ang gusto eh iiwan ang car key sa parking attendant which is hindi okay at all. Sa parking lang talaga may problema dito, pero kung room and service pati food nila, super okay talaga.
It's a very good choice for budget traveler. I love cats and there are a lot of cats around. The receptionist is especially kind. There are a lot of street food stalls near the hostel✨
This is a really great hostel! The location is excellent, with plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The rooftop offers fantastic night views, and they even have free drinks. I'd definitely book here again next time I'm in town.
The staff is really nice, helpful, and friendly. They try the best to interact with all the people as my observation and try to remember our name as well.
The location is good for me as it is under visitors gather point and walk out u can see many visitors as u also easy to find a foods especially to who not really cannot accept local road foods.
They also offer free walking tours around the area and explain to u.
Opps not to forget the free welcoming drinks. Probably, if they can indicate the name of drinks, it will be much helpful as I do not know, and too hard for me to remember when staff told me during place order.
The room i booked is dorm for 4. They do offer me a free lock to lock the locker rather than I need to buy the new one. Highly appreciated. But I found the locker is dirty with maybe detergent , i am not sure, but my bag all has been full with the unknown dirty and I need to use my own one time deal tower to clean it . Really sad. Probably, future staff need to check the locker condition besides the bed.
Overall, if u are looking for party night and knowing more new friends, it is good options, but if you prefer a quiet environment, u may need to reconsider.
Very Good

AAnonymous UserIt was a very nice stay. I also loved that this room was the biggest one I’ve tried in the same branch—and the cleanest too. The Wi-Fi was really fast, so I was able to do some work calls and meetings without any issues. The bed was very comfortable as well.
I remember we overslept during the stay until 12 noon. We didn’t get a reminder call via the landline, and instead someone politely knocked on the door. We also received a call on the phone, but it was on silent, so we didn’t get any notifications. They then told us we could extend until 2 PM, with ₱300 deducted from the ₱1,500 down payment.
The black box wasn’t working, though I wasn’t really planning to use it—I just tried it out. The bathroom was a decent size for one person (so no bathroom romance haha). Overall, it was a great stay.
AAnonymous UserA 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

JJohn Joshua Delos ReyesWe had a really great stay at Hotel Ava! The staff were very accommodating from start to finish, and the service exceeded our expectations. The room was clean, spacious, and well-kept. I was pleasantly surprised by the free breakfast—it was delicious and way better than expected. The WiFi was fast, toiletries were provided, and the jacuzzi was definitely a highlight since it was my first time experiencing that in a hotel. For the price, the quality of the stay is impressive. The mini chiller inside the room was also a big plus!
The only downsides were that there was no room number outside the garage (which made it a bit confusing at first), and there were no complimentary bottled water upon check-in.
Overall, a wonderful and affordable stay—I’d definitely recommend it and consider coming back.

HHusé.The hotel's reception and security staff were super friendly and welcoming, which was a great first impression. They also allowed us to store our luggage at the reception area until check-in time, which was really convenient. However, the cleanliness of the hotel was a letdown - the floors were dirty and the trash hadn't been taken out when I arrived. To make matters worse, I had trouble sleeping due to another guest being really loud in doing stuff at night. Overall, the staff's hospitality was great, but the cleanliness and noise issues brought down my experience.
