I spent nearly a week there in February 2015. I stayed in a dorm, and the bed was really comfy, though having curtains would have been a nice touch. The room had lockers for storage. The common areas, lounge, and dorm were all kept clean. The bathroom was tidy as well, but it wasn't the most convenient, and I didn't have warm showers during my stay. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly friendly. There was a great vibe and wonderful people around. If I find myself back in Manila, I would definitely book here again. There's a 7/11 close by, along with several food options.

I love the gleaming floor! I appreciate the budget-friendly VIP entrance. It's great that it's so close to Mang Inasal. They even have a special for Father's Day running until June 16!
