Makati Junction Hostels

The Makati Junction Hostel was and is a great place to stay within Poblacion if you're looking for a budget hostel that is worth every cent you're paying. The location is far enough from the night scene so it's quiet enough to sleep in at the same time a lot of Asian restos are near so you have plenty of options to get a late night dinner if you're feeling lazy. Small sari sari stores and karinderias are also there if you don't want to spend all that much. By the time we got to the place, we were quickly assisted by the staff to check in, especially the manager who was really nice and sweet to talk to. She was definitely hands-on with handling the place and the guests. I just showed them my reservation from app and we filled in the forms right away. All of them are very accommodating and easy to talk to that I already felt loved within the first 15 minutes. The lobby was so cool because it was filled with books, board games and food/drinks are also sold there which was really convenient. They have a TV room where all the guests can hang out and watch netflix during movie night, bean bags and sofas provided. There is a 'grass area' and a pool table there, too. They also have a water station, a microwave oven, plates, mugs and utensils provided so you can eat your take outs as well! We literally have so little time to make use of all the amenities for a night's stay. We stayed at a Superior King room at the second floor and were kindly assisted by one of the staffs with a tour around the place. It wasn't "sparkling" because it wasn't a brand new kind of room but it was really, really clean. The lavatory and the T&B had soap and shampoos provided and a hot shower. Bean bag, books and a whole lot of outlets were provided so the whole place was more than enough to keep our gadgets usable (did I mention the wifi was faster than we expected?) Would I recommend the place? Absolutely. It's a great place to stay in and go out from during the night without being exposed to too much street noise and bypassers. It's near I'M Hotel where you can get a quick stop at their roofdeck bar 'Antidote' and also The Pallet where I think ever single young adult is staying at getting a great time (highly recommended places as well). I write this after checking out and I really felt sad to leave. Will absolutely, definitely, no doubt go back to this place.

This is actually my favorite hostel in Metro Manila and this is my longest stay yet. Hostel size is just right and has a perfect location. One jeepney-ride to MRT, Ayala Avenue, and Rockwell. I only had issues with a difficult roommate. He is irritable, he doesn't want anybody making sound even at day-time. He even told me to use the toilet to brush my teeth even though we have sink in the room for that purpose. Anyway, I have later in learned that he us a light sleeper. Not a valid excuse though to get in fights with roommates at a hostel where you get to encounter different types of personalities. I suggest that the management make a way to sort guests in same rooms. Like though who would typically sleep at day-time, or those who like being quiet, those who would want to make friends, and those who are extremely orderly with stuff. Maybe a short questionnaire in order to make experience in the hostel better and more personal.

Had a comfortable stay. It's in the heart of the city, near 7/11, secured place, walking distance to malls, and the bathroom is clean. Wifi is fast and AC is good. Staffs are attentive and friendly. Though you shouldn't expect it to be as perfect as you could see from the advertising photos because it really depends on you roommates if their clean or messy. The first day I came to the hostel and entered the room I cud definitely tell that there's a funny smell I don't know what maybe because of the other boarders stuck up clothes hanging inside the room. The air is compressed because windows are always locked for AC purposes so smells inside the room are trapped, after a while you'll be used to it anyways. Expect a lot of foreigners too. I stayed for 4 nights and 2 of my roommates are Chinese other 1 is an American. I don't know. Enjoy.

Value for Money! Worth it! I had to extend one more night before my flight as I rescheduled it so I booked this hostel last minute. The place was beyond my expectations. It was clean and the staff as well as other guests were accommodating and friendly. I liked how the place was really secured with the lobby or common space being locked all the time and the only ones who can open it are those with the keycard or if the people inside open the door for you. The Security Guard was not there 24/7 and I think he only works the night shift but nevertheless I feel safe. Food is not allowed in the bedroom so they have a common area where the guests can eat the food they bought outside or they can order or purchase drinks from the bar near the staff's counter. They actually offer hard liquors and I think they also serve food. Not sure though since I did not order any food. The common area was spacious and it has lots of tables perfect for eating, reading, doing work with your laptop or interacting with fellow guests. There were many outlets too so getting empty bat was never a problem. There was also a space with a swing and a bench with lots of pillows where you can hang out or sleep and there's also a guitar if you fancy playing it. There was also a small Entertainment area open to all guests where you can watch TV with cable channels and the seats where so comfortable. They also have 2 computers near the entertainment area where you can access the internet and they also offer printing services at the Staff's counter. If my memory serves me right I think it is 10 pesos per page. The internet connection was great and wifi is available anywhere in the premise. They also have a mini kitchen in the common area complete with plates, cups, bread knives and utensils and there is also a microwave for reheating food. A water dispenser is also available with cold or hot water. But of course you have to wash the dishes and clean up after yourself as you go. The room is not that big but I love how the foams are so thick and the pillows are also comfy. The blanket also had the right thickness for sleeping on an air conditioned room. I definitely had a good night sleep! I can only suggest that they put on a curtain for each bunkbed (I booked the all-female 4 beds room) for privacy but over all it was okay. They also offer towels and the bathroom/toilet has a shampoo and shower gel dispenser mounted on the wall. There were also blow dryers outside the bathroom. The location was good. There were lots of korean resto everywhere I felt like I was in Korea haha. There's a nearby 7 eleven and Mini Stop. Mercury Drug, StarBucks and Wendys' was just a 5 minute walk and another 5 mins you will see Jollibee, McDo, BonChon, KFC and other fast food chains near Makati Avenue. All in all, I had a superb stay for only 577 pesos. Yay! I also noticed a lot of foreigners in the hostel so I guess they also trust staying at the place. I love the design and wall arts of the hostel and the facilities were modern. I highly recommend this place and will rebook again if I would have a chance in the future.

Had a nice stay, it’s in a great location with a nice staff. Restaurants, nightlife and shopping is easily accessible. It is also near the business district and government offices. The hostel guests are mix of people from different backgrounds.

I Stay here for almost 3 nights and i could say my stay is so awesome as the place and staff feels me like my home. ❤️

Location: great as it is near offices and restaurants; Staff: Polite and nice; Room: bed is big, room is cold, there’s a sofa and bean bag. Bathroom: they have hot shower and towels. Needs improvement: sink looks like it is old. Floor may look clean - no dust but has stains maybe needs mopping. Bean bag not sure if it has been cleaned. But all in all good place to stay for the night.

Great place, clean and very nice. Well organized. Very friendly staff and always available. I’ll be back for sure

I'm quite impressed this hostel because they honest, nice, kind. Room, toilet and everything is clean, good, orderly, nice kitchen. It is good for you can stay safe, near many store, convenient to go many place as: century mall, Avenue mall, restaurant, triangle ayala garden, Gorielent, Green belt mall. If I go Phil again, I will book it
