The location is superb. Staff are friendly, they listen to costumer’s request because they’ve given me a quiet room. The facilities are true to the description online. I like how big the space is in 4bedroom place. The AC is good, lots of space, luggage locker is also available.

I booked one night at The Millas Hostel to attend a concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. I was pleasantly surprised because the venue was just an 8-10 minute walk away, following a straight path with no turns. Although I didn’t spend much time at the hostel, I loved it; the ambiance was cozy and homey, just to my liking. I appreciated Madam Ligaya, the owner, who warmly welcomed and entertained me even though I arrived very early. Her son EJ, the manager, was also warm and kind. Their hospitality was top-notch, and my cousin and I even had a small chitchat with them. As a solo traveler both here and abroad, I can confidently say that Millas Hostel is among my top five favorite hostels worldwide. From their amenities to the complimentary breakfast, it’s really worth the stay. Millas Hostel will be my go-to place whenever I’m in Manila. If you’re a solo traveler or in a group attending a concert or simply exploring the city, this is the perfect haven. It’s accessible to public transport, convenience stores, restaurants, and more.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The hostel is good but not great. You’ve got Filipino workers basically residing there long-term so don’t expect anything social. The location is great for Metro Manila and it is located in a local and comparatively safe neighbourhood. Directly next to the hostel there is a great local (and ridiculously cheap) restaurant as well as a 7/11 if you get the munchies in the night. The security measures are outstanding and there are lockers if you have some stuff to store. The staff is available 24/7, speaks good English and is very helpful.

The place itself is just nearby to lrt 1 light rail station which most of the tourist attraction is just all along the way. The hostel location is just 10 to 15 mins away from the Airport. The room is quiet spacious and the area is all spotless. To be honest, I have stayed for almost a fortnight it was all great experienced. And I must say all the staff were utterly accommodating, friendly, thoughtful and kind. The Filipino food is all good, tasty and cheap. Overall it's highly recommended especially if it's on a shoe string budget.

The personal is very friendly. Check in was quick and easy. Many planes to eat or drink nearby. Great location, many places for sightseeing on foot distance (less than 25-30min). You can go to Rizal Park, museum of fine arts, Oceanpark, Intramuros, Binondo etc. Its well connected to local transport. Everything you need nearby, hospital, farmacy atms. They had a working AC and Wifi. Extending our stay was quick and easy. Bunkbed prices in the dormitory are very cheap.
