Le rooftop est top, il y a une belle vue sur la ville, on peut manger sur place aussi et boire un coup c'est top. Après niveau couchage j'ai choisi le moins cher, dortoir a 6 sans rideaux au lit on a vraiment de la proximité avec les autres et zéro intimité faut en être conscient :)

We had a great stay at Ola. It was in an area that felt safe and had options for food. It was a cheap grab ride from the airport and close to two train stations. The staff were friendly and helpful and the place was relatively clean. We stayed in a female dorm, it was comfortable enough with a spacious room, lockers and a bathroom inside the room. They have a great happy hour and the bar area upstairs was good for meeting people and just chilling during the day.

I stayed more than 1 month in the philippines and this was my base every time i had to come to manila. Located near vito Cruz lrt between the modern districts of makati and Fort bonifacio and the old Town of intramuros and Chinatown. Laundry and drying service available. Happy hour every day in the wonderful rooftop. Last but not least the staff. All of them so helpful and kind but I have to mention Nicole, probably the nicest receptionist you Will ever meet.

The location has to be the best thing about this hostel, with a tram station near by. No curtains. The breakfast described is not included. Great happy hour at the bar.

There is not much of a hostel atmosphere and they do not organise anything specific. It’s just the room. Lot of older people also reside long term in the hostel which removes from the hostel vibes. Staff is great but there are definitely better hostels

Really liked this hostel in Manila! The surrounding area is quite nice by Manila standards, lots of green and tree-lined streets and heaps of street food vendors; also very close to Vito Cruz LRT station, which is a very cheap way of getting around. The rooftop bar is really nice, met some awesome people there - unlimited free drinks from 6-7pm each night is a great perk. Dorm beds were actually really comfortable and the staff were super knowledgeable. My only complaint is little common space n...

The room was massive which was really good for a six person dorm. Very hot in both the bedroom and the bathroom but both were nice and clean. Only stayed one night and was not in the property for very long but the location seemed good. Not the hostel for you if you want a social atmosphere however.

Great place, staff and affordable. The place is clean. Location is a bit distance from landmarks but very centralized to commute everywhere. Atmosphere is great when a lot of people booked and quiet when there’s few. Great karaoke room. Reasonable price for drinks. I didn’t see an elevator.

Private double room: Smelly bedsheets, tiny, but the worst is the noise, it basically feels like sleeping in the middle of a busy street. Rooftop terrace isnt really a terrace but more of a bird cage. Staff is friendly though and hostel is located in a safe area.

Everything was kinda old. The AC was just loud but really wasn’t doing anything except dripping on the outlet. The room was tiny and not clean, there were a lot of ants and cockroaches as well, in the common area was some trash no one of the stuff seem to take care about. The electricity went down, also during stay water did not work for hours at all and they did not provide any buckets or so… since I paid 18€ a night I ask for a discount, unfortunately only got a free beer.. would not rec...
