Edward
Great location - The hotel is conveniently located near a shopping center, making it easy to access amenities and entertainment options.
Uncomfortable beds - The bunk beds in the room were old and uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

The hostel provided affordable accommodation and was conveniently located near the bus terminal. the staff were friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere.
The lack of cleanliness and the presence of other guests who seemed to be living in the dormitory for a long time were disappointing. the limited facilities, such as only having one toilet and no kitchen, were not what I had expected.

I had a great stay at a hostel in Makati City. The location was convenient for shopping and the common area had good vibes. I also enjoyed the Christmas event organized by the friendly staff, where I met cool people. The hostel had a nice chilling area and relatively cheap drinks at the bar. The Wi-Fi was surprisingly good and the internet connection was reliable. I would highly recommend this hostel to fellow travelers.

I recently stayed at Zen Hostel Haven Backpackers for a week during my trip to Manila. The communal area was spacious and clean, providing a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The owners were knowledgeable about local deals and tourist spots, making my stay even more enjoyable. The staff, including their adorable pet dog, were friendly and accommodating. The ambience of the place felt like a home away from home, with a lovely little garden inside the property. The food was great, and they even provided a small fridge for guests to store their own food. it was a comfortable and value-for-money stay.
Would recommend this hotel.

Great vibes and friendly staff. The common area was really nice, with comfy sofas and a relaxed atmosphere. We also enjoyed the location, as it was conveniently close to a shopping center and other attractions. Plus, the free water and good wifi were a bonus!
The dorm rooms were a bit overcrowded and felt cramped. There were too few toilets and showers, which made it inconvenient during peak hours.

the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making me feel right at home. the hostel was spotlessly clean and in a great location, with plenty of places to eat and easy access to public transport. I especially loved the 24-hour reception and the welcoming atmosphere created by the owners. I would highly recommend this hostel to any couples or solo travelers looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Cons: No issues. 👍.

Had an amazing experience during my Christmas stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making me feel right at home. The community area was cozy and enjoyable, perfect for socializing with other guests. the hotel's location was unbeatable. Everything, from shopping malls to food places, was conveniently close by. The proximity to the airport was definitely a bonus and made my stay even more enjoyable.
There were a few things that I didn't particularly like about my stay. the 20-bed dorm room was quite tight, especially where I was staying, and it had no window, which made it feel a bit cramped.

As trekkers and a group of friends, we loved the friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and opportunities to meet other travelers. The location is residential but within walking distance to commercial areas.
Felt cozy, nothing to complain about.

We had a fantastic time at this hostel. the communal area had a cute vibe and we felt very safe with lots of security measures in place. They also had lockers and a restaurant/cafe that looked really good. the owners were sincere and took great care of their customers, creating an amazing atmosphere. It truly felt like home in Manila, which was a pleasant surprise considering our previous experience in another hostel. This place left us with only the best memories. We wish all hostels were like this and hope they continue to attract more like-minded people. Thank you for the great vibes!
Nothing not to love! 😊.

As a satisfied guest at Zen Hostel Haven, I couldn't recommend this hotel more. During my recent stay in Manila, I was impressed by the cozy and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The location was ideal, with Cash and Carry Mall within walking distance, offering a convenient shopping option. There were also plenty of roadside restaurants nearby, perfect for enjoying affordable and delicious meals. The accessibility of public transportation was a huge plus, with jeepney rides available to Baclaran, Mall of Asia, and LRT for trips to Quiapo and Intramuros. The excellent Wi-Fi provided at the hostel was the best I experienced in the entire Philippines. Additionally, the staff was lovely and the communal area was well-equipped with comfortable sofas and three bathrooms. It was a great place to meet both fellow travelers and locals, creating a vibrant and inclusive community.
Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

The location is convenient, with a mall, restaurants, and transportation options within walking distance. the staff is friendly and welcoming, creating a cozy community atmosphere. Guests can enjoy the beautiful common area, free water, and good wifi. the rooms are spacious but could benefit from improvements, such as better water pressure in the showers.
Limited number of toilets and showers, leading to potential crowding and inconvenience.
