The Makati Junction Hostel is an excellent place to stay. The staff truly makes you feel at home if you give them the opportunity to assist you. Aiza, in particular, shines with the exceptional service she offers. The hostel's location is decent. It's situated just outside the lively Makati entertainment district, and the street is quite peaceful. You can reach Insular Bakery in just a few minutes on foot. There’s a Mini Stop and a 7 Eleven conveniently around the corner. The SM, Glorietta, Landmark, and Greenbelt malls are all within walking distance, though many might prefer to take a jeepney or taxi (if you're okay with dealing with a bit of a hassle). I usually walk, but I do hop on a jeepney occasionally. The Century mall is only a short 5 to 10-minute stroll away. There are plenty of dining options along nearby Makati Ave and the surrounding side streets. The hostel is designed to encourage guests to socialize and connect with one another. If you enjoy hostel stays, definitely give this place a shot. I keep coming back!

I really enjoy this place! The staff is super friendly, and everything is kept clean, from the pantry to the rooms and bathrooms. Each bed has its own electric outlet, which is super handy. The wifi speed is decent too. The only thing to note is that our shared room (a) connects to another shared room (b), so guests in room b have to walk through our room to get to theirs. It can be a bit distracting with all the footsteps and doors opening and closing. I guess it really depends on the guests' etiquette—some of them seem a bit oblivious to the noise they make, even though they know there are other guests around.
