Great hostel! Comfortable, friendly staff, good amenities and live music in the bar downstairs. I liked the personalised welcome board that changed every day :-)

This is a hotel rather than a hostel but it's very nice, just a short train ride from Santander centre and well worth it.

Mogens Pod Hostel, Quito, Ecuador

22nd Jul 2018

This place is very quiet so if that's what you're looking for it's perfect! The staff are really friendly and the pods are SO comfortable. The restaurant is cheap and really excellent food too. And the place is really well designed and decorated too - highly recommended!

This place is a hotel rather than a hostel, the woman who works there is lovely and the bed was a delight! It's on the edge of town but Baños is so small it doesn't matter. It's v convenient for the bus station and for the Salado hot springs. Highly recommended!

I loved this hostel, the only disadvantage is the windowless rooms but then lots of hostels in Stockholm are underground. The air stayed fresh though. The common areas are very stylish and the staff are really friendly.

This hostel is fine, it had everything and was in a perfect location for me. The only disadvantage was lack of lockers for everyone - you just had to get one in the corridor if it happened to be empty.

This is a fine basic place with good value private rooms. The owner was really friendly and helpful. However, the staff may be less than honest - I'm pretty sure I had 20 dollars stolen from my bag in this place so if you stay here take all your money with your or hide it better than I did.

Happy Turtle Hostel Quezon City, Manila, Philippines
8.3
29th Nov 2014

This is more a boarding house than a hostel, and the long-term residents give it a homely feel which is good because everything is basic: no breakfast, if you want a towel you have to buy one, you pay a P1000 damage deposit, if you want to leave your bags there after check-out you have to pay for a whole extra night. All that makes if feel a bit mercenary but it's a good basic hostel for a couple of nights.

This place is great! Not far from Tagaytay town centre and near many nice places to eat. The only downside is that there are no lockers or place to store your stuff securely inside the dorm, but the dorm door did lock.

Makabata Guesthouse, Manila, Philippines

22nd Nov 2014

This hostel's location was good for walking to wherever or for catching the MRT. It's also on a really cool road which feels very 'local' - people going about their business, lots of them selling food which is great! The atmosphere in the hostel is more like a conference centre than a hostel - there's not really a social area. Also, although my room locked, there were no lockable lockers in the room itself. But since I had a dorm all to myself that wasn't a problem! Overall, recommended!

All fine, although the door to my dorm room didn't lock and it was directly off the reception area so I felt it was a little insecure. But they did have lockers for valuables.

25th Aug 2014

This hostel is quiet and in Xinbeitou which is definitely NOT central Taipei, but very near the Xinbeitou MRT station and the great public hot springs they have there - heavenly! The directions to the hostel they send you are a little confusing - actually you SHOULD cross the road at the traffic lights, essentially walk straight out of the station and keep going straight, across the road (bearing a little to the right) and then you see the Wellcome supermarket and find the alley. Recommended!

This hostel is definitely NOT near the train station! It's a good half hour walk away, and the map they email you when you make a reservation is not too clear - ok if you can read Chinese. Having said that, once you get there, the place is a hotel! Really really nice common area and bedrooms, staff extremely pleasant and overly helpful. Recommended - if you have transport or are willing to walk a ways for everything.

The hostel is great, although it is 15km from Taitung, about 500NTD in a taxi. I got a bus back to the train station after waiting about half an hour, but I'm not sure how regular they are. But once you're there, the staff are mega-friendly and couldn't do enough for you! There are surfboards and bikes to borrow for free, scooters to rent, and plenty to do in the village. The beach is near, and so are mountain hikes. Recommended, as long as you realize the hostel is NOT in Taitung.
