August 31, 2018 stayed there for 1 night next early morning to catch the plane but too noisy the whole time that I stayed, next doors on both sides always have people non stop knocked on and making too much noise. This is a place with the prostitutes, drunks. Complained to front desk, just said sorry a few times, nothing changed.

Should be a 1 star hotel
This should be only a 1-star hostel. I have been availing a hotel reservation system for several years for local and outside the country stay and usually pick at least 2-star hotels. In terms of the location, amenities, cleanliness, this was sub par with the others. The only 2-star feature which is the same with others is the price. I have killed 1 roach on the first day, 2 on the 2nd day, and 3 on the 3rd day with 1 escapee. The pictures were misleading, it was actually dark. The water slowly goes down the sink. The ceiling fan does not rotate and has clicking sounds. If this was rated a 1-star hotel, my expectations will be lower and this will have a better review, but it was not.

Location and Staff are great
We had a private room with shared bathroom. The price is good and the Location is great for Nightlife and we where impressed that even if exactly in the center of nightlife, we still had not any problem to sleep at night We had a trip to Nueva Ecija the day after and we asked them if we can leave our Backpack in the hotel for 1 day or maybe 2, and they kept it for us without the need to pay. Have nothing to complain

Low budget makati stay
This place right in the middle of the red light district. The wifi only really works in the common area if that, which is not air conditioned. Walls are thin and can hear the neighbors talking. Dorm with AC is on or off type. The showers are shoulder width tiny with no where to hang your clothes. Breakfast includes toast and different jams.

Decent place in a bad part of town
The hostel is a good place to stay, meet new people, and sleep within the Makati area. However, the only downside is the location as it's on the Red Light District so there's a lot of shady things going on the street below. BTW: the wi-fi is really good.
