Ola! Hostel Manila

Manila


The best downtown hostel is in an up-and-coming area on the border of Pasay and Malate, and is equally convenient for Makati. The highlight is the rooftop bar, where the free breakfast is also served. Downstairs is a comfortable common area and more than 25 four- to eight-bed dorm rooms, basic but air-conditioned, with towering bunks.

Just two private rooms.
