Manila Bay Hostel Reviews

fantastic location , good room/dorm rates unlike others in Manila which I believe are soverpriced, simple & clean hostel

Fantastic location in downtown city center, cheap room prices too, clean, safe with security guards at the gate, thanks to your good staff! Highly recommended

I liked the place right in front of the sea. It was better than my expectation. I plan to stay there again when I go to Manila. Thank you.

Manila Bay Hostel has a good location. Rooms are not so big but clean and comfortable. Staff was the best I have ever met... so friendly, so helpful, hospitable. Very good value for money.

best location right in the center of Manila, convenient, walking distance to all places one needs to visit in the Philippines whether history, nightlife, culture or nature.

Good Hostel, Central, good price, clean rooms and also with AC

Nice play to stay, great location and very friendly staff, only A/C in our room vould be less noisy and more powerful :-)

Good place to stay, near Itramuros, which is what we wanted. However, there are not many places to eat around the hostel that are affordable.

Excelent location. Free potable water. Hot shower. No common area, no wiFi. 11 beds are too many for the room. Air conditioner is noisy and is of insufficient capacity.

the location of this Hostel is very good, you just need to walk to rizal park and intramuros. there are mini market and restaurant beside the building. The room and bathroom is small, this maybe a little bit not good for big people :D

the place was good for buget traveler

Figure out exactly where it is before you arrive or you will have trouble finding it. It's across the street from the US Embassy so tell that to the cab driver because he probably won't know either. There is no sign. In a great location and the staff was helpful!

Simple and cheap. Nothing fancy good if you just passing through town and not intend to spend much time inside as the rooms are tiny! good location close to lots of eating and the better side of downtown

it's close to the airport, cheap, simple and absolutely ok. got everything you need if your exceptions aren't too high. the air-condition was loud and the street next to it too. it got 24h check-in and the two guys were very friendly. they could arrange the lobby nicer if they'd feel like and provide maps and other helpful stuff travelers need. still i'd go there again.

You get what you pay for...since usually when i stay at a hostel it is just for sleeping so everything was good

Although very close to Rizal park, perfect location, back entrance to appartment building a bit tricky to find. Toilet and shower facilities were above average clean and warm shower. But no WiFi or extra facilities like relax hangout room.

The hostel is cheap and well located. You get what you pay for at this hostel. There were young children begging outside the front door, but the security guard kept them out of the premises. This is normal in a lot of places in the Philippines. The sheets could have been cleaner as they had some blood stains on them and the floor felt like grease. We felt safe enough at this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a well located and cheap accommodation for a night or two.

The location of the hotel is good and the place is very safe. However, the rooms are old and we could hear everything that was going on in the next room. The bathroom are clean but old. Moreover, you don't pay by day but by 24h of stay. Which means that if you check in early you will have to check out early or pay an extra 12h of stay. However, this hotel is cheap.

It is cheap and you get a decent bed in a large and air-conditioned dorm with large lockers available. Inside the dorm room there is no problem. Outside the dorm room there is nothing. Absolutely nothing. There is no social area, nowhere to sit, nothing. When you enter the front door you are hit by the 50 degree heat from the air con exhausts which all feed into the front room making your priority getting to the dorm room. If you are after a cheap bed and nothing else then this place is fine.

Very cheap place to stay but...dorm room infested with cockroaches, both on the floor and on your bed, so if you cant handle that find somewhere else. Location is central to many sightseeing location however and about a 15 minute walk from the LRT. If you follow the back street of the hostel south you will find a neat little restaurant called the Hobbit House. Quite a fun experience!
