Zula Hostel

Manila


This upscale, Israeli-run hostel sets an urbane tone with a sleek lobby bistro serving hummus and the like, a rooftop bar and walls throughout painted nifty shades of grey. En-suite dorms are snug but fashionable, with big lockers and bunk curtains, and the private rooms stand out.
