5/5 John A. M. 4 years ago on Google
I
have
never
stayed
at
a
hostel
prior
to
this
trip.
I
am
used
to
staying
in
upper
mid
range
hotels
wherever
I
travel,
and
had
very
low
expectations
prior
to
arriving.
Since
I
was
traveling
alone
this
trip
I
made
the
choice
to
try
a
hostel,
where
I
could
easily
meet
some
fellow
travelers.
I
did
some
searching
prior
to
booking
and
noticed
this
place
was
fairly
new
to
open,
looked
fairly
clean
and
bright
in
the
pics.
But
I
still
had
my
reservations
and
a
preconceived
idea
about
hostels.
I
took
the
chance
and
booked
a
spot
in
the
dorm
room
and
was
pleasantly
surprised
at
my
stay.
First...
Len
at
the
front
desk
was
simply
amazing.
Always
had
a
smile,
extremely
pleasant
and
made
the
stay
worthwhile.
She
was
so
helpful
and
took
the
time
to
answer
any
questions
I
had
about
the
area.
She
definitely
does
a
great
job
with
customer
service.
Second,
with
the
high
turnover
in
a
hostel
I
wasn’t
expecting
the
place
to
be
overly
clean.
I
was
actually
surprised
at
how
clean
it
was.
In
my
mind
I
was
thinking
it
can’t
be
easy
to
constantly
clean
around
so
many
people
coming
in
and
out
of
the
dorm
rooms.
It
wasn’t
the
same
as
staying
in
my
normal
hotels
but
I
felt
they
did
a
good
job.
The
location
is
ok...
there
are
some
conveniences
near
by,
but
if
you
want
to
go
further
out
then
you
will
be
suffering
typical
Manila
traffic...
which
is
horrible.
The
WiFi
wasn’t
hooked
up
yet..
I
was
told
it
would
be
set
up
before
the
end
of
Feb.
But
for
anyone
who
has
been
in
the
Philippines
before...
you’re
lucky
if
you
find
any
WiFi
on
a
good
day.
I
felt
safe
at
the
hostel,
was
able
to
lock
my
things
in
a
locker
when
I
went
out.
I
also
found
it
more
Convenient
And
safer
to
use
my
portable
phone
charger
to
charge
my
phone
in
my
bed
when
sleeping.
Overall,
I’d
say
it
was
a
very
pleasant
surprise
for
my
first
hostel
stay...
and
I
would
definitely
stay
here
again.
Oh...
yes,
I
did
meet
some
people
as
well
lol
