What a gem! In the middle of Makati's business district lies a hidden treasure. Our melting pot is a home away from home. A special thanks to Chato and Ronald for making my experience a great one. This is less like a hostel and more like staying with friends. The owners go out of their way to ensure you have things to do, places to see and enough information on how to get around Manila and beyond. Comfort level was very high, as was cleanliness. A++ hostel in my book!!What a gem! In the middle of Makati's business district lies a hidden treasure. Our melting pot is a home away from home.

I felt totally spoiled by Our Melting Pot. For a young woman traveling by herself in a foreign country it was safe, clean and the staff simply amazed me with there warm welcome and generous spirit. While I was there, there was only one other guest, I think if the shared room was full it would be a bit on the cosy side, but still worth it for the help and advice of the staff, they really took care of me. I hope to stay there again when I'm next in Manila. I felt totally spoiled by Our Melting Pot.

Clean quiet hostel, firm bed, fresh sheets, great water pressure, close to 2 major shopping centers with food places for $4-8. Hostel is a condo unit so security is great. Breakfast is basic (noodles, soft rolls, coffee). No reading lamp per bed, but loved that each bed had quaint little curtains w/c gave me an excellent sense of privacy. Very helpful staff - Ronald, Joel, Macy, Lani - if you need any info abt where to go, what to eat =) Way better than my US hostels, so i\'d totally recommend i...MoreClean quiet hostel, firm bed, fresh sheets, great water pressure, close to 2 major shopping centers with food places for $4-8.

I can\'t say enough great things about our melting pot and the owners. It was my best vacation I\'ve had in a long time. The hostel is new and very clean, the owners were helpful beyond belief so much that it was like staying with family. A true home away from home. I\'m looking forward to going back again.

The best hostel i've ever been to! Not only is it more than safe and clean. What really makes this hostel a special place is the staff. They're so friendly, hospitable and caring that after five minutes you already feel like having found a new home. With the great insider information they give you you'll find it easy to love manila from the very beginning! No place like this hostel, it's a must! The best hostel i've ever been to!

Excellent hostel just in the heart of Makati. If you're looking for a good night sleep (and not a loud party-hostel) in a decent price this is your destination. Really nice breakfast included. Staff is very helpful. Just the opposite you have a BBQ bar and few affordable Korean restaurants. Would certianly recommend it!Excellent hostel just in the heart of Makati.

Clean, modern hostel, accented with impressive local interior. In a safe, quiet section of the village that is close to everything, especially the night life, fine dining restos and the Power Plant Mall. Right across Handle Bar-- a clear hit among tourists. Minus factor: I'm not comfy sharing rooms with strangers(guys) coz they ain't got exclusive dorm for women. Cheap place by Makati standard. Helpful but shy staff.Clean, modern hostel, accented with impressive local interior.

This hostel came as a surprise to me. I needed an affordable, decent bed & breakfast in Makati yet all I could find were 2 or 3-star hotels which cost US$30 per person. I I stumbled a local promo about the hostel\\\'s opening week & risked being the guinea pig. The young owners are unbelievably helpful. I tell you: get this place if you wanna maximize your stay in Manila. And yes, breakfast is modestThis hostel came as a surprise to me.
