I booked one night at The Millas Hostel to attend a concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. I was pleasantly surprised because the venue was just an 8-10 minute walk away, following a straight path with no turns. Although I didn’t spend much time at the hostel, I loved it; the ambiance was cozy and homey, just to my liking. I appreciated Madam Ligaya, the owner, who warmly welcomed and entertained me even though I arrived very early. Her son EJ, the manager, was also warm and kind. Their hospitality was top-notch, and my cousin and I even had a small chitchat with them. As a solo traveler both here and abroad, I can confidently say that Millas Hostel is among my top five favorite hostels worldwide. From their amenities to the complimentary breakfast, it’s really worth the stay. Millas Hostel will be my go-to place whenever I’m in Manila. If you’re a solo traveler or in a group attending a concert or simply exploring the city, this is the perfect haven. It’s accessible to public transport, convenience stores, restaurants, and more.

The staff were friendly and the location of the hostel was very near to the airport as I did rest in the hostel to catch up with my next flight. The good thing that they did offer ear plugs as you can hear the planes' engines while they are taking off or landing in the airport.

Staying at this hostel was one of the warmest experiences I’ve had in my travels. The two lovely owners are incredibly kind and helpful, they truly made me feel at home. They even cooked us a delicious dinner, and the atmosphere felt just like being in a family home. The location is perfect: close to the airport, easy to reach, and in a peaceful, quiet area. Compared to the noise of Manila, this place feels like a calm little oasis. Their hospitality went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for not only a comfortable stay but also genuine human connection.

Josh and Chris really make you feel at home. They are best friends and welcome you in to become one of their new friends. The family dinner were delicious and cooked together with guests, a beautiful way of getting to know each other. Also the breakfast was just incredible. Unlike anything I’ve received in another hostel, very fresh delicious and varied. Chris helped me buy and setup my local sim within just a few minutes and Josh took me around town and showed me some good local spots. 100% recommended staying at QBee becoming part of their community.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The hostel is good but not great. You’ve got Filipino workers basically residing there long-term so don’t expect anything social. The location is great for Metro Manila and it is located in a local and comparatively safe neighbourhood. Directly next to the hostel there is a great local (and ridiculously cheap) restaurant as well as a 7/11 if you get the munchies in the night. The security measures are outstanding and there are lockers if you have some stuff to store. The staff is available 24/7, speaks good English and is very helpful.

The place itself is just nearby to lrt 1 light rail station which most of the tourist attraction is just all along the way. The hostel location is just 10 to 15 mins away from the Airport. The room is quiet spacious and the area is all spotless. To be honest, I have stayed for almost a fortnight it was all great experienced. And I must say all the staff were utterly accommodating, friendly, thoughtful and kind. The Filipino food is all good, tasty and cheap. Overall it's highly recommended especially if it's on a shoe string budget.

The personal is very friendly. Check in was quick and easy. Many planes to eat or drink nearby. Great location, many places for sightseeing on foot distance (less than 25-30min). You can go to Rizal Park, museum of fine arts, Oceanpark, Intramuros, Binondo etc. Its well connected to local transport. Everything you need nearby, hospital, farmacy atms. They had a working AC and Wifi. Extending our stay was quick and easy. Bunkbed prices in the dormitory are very cheap.
