Ola Hostel Manila

Ola Hostel Manila is a good option for travelers looking for an economical place to stay. It’s decent if you mainly need a place to sleep, though you can hear the sound of vehicles from the road, which some guests may find distracting. What stood out the most for me is the restaurant-bar on the fifth floor. They offer free cocktails during happy hour from 6 PM to 7 PM — a nice bonus for guests. However, this hostel may not be ideal for seniors or anyone with mobility issues. There’s no elevator, and you’ll need to take the stairs to get to the front desk on the 2nd floor, and to the rooms located on the 3rd and 4th floors. Overall, it’s budget-friendly with good perks, but accessibility could be a concern for some travelers. I stayed here for 4 nights and 5 days.

The Ola Hostel is a great place to stay. It was our first stop in the Philippines and the staff was very welcoming. We could check-in early and had no problem extending our stay when we asked to. The rooftop bar was great and had everything you could ask for. The staff at the front desk was helpful and gave us lots of information. Our room had a little balcony and it was nice to watch the city at night. I would definitely go back and stay there again. It's a great welcome to the Philippines.

What a great experience in Ola Hostel Manila. It was my first time ever I try a hostel, and after I booked just 1 or 2 days, I stayed there for 2 weeks. The team is great and everything is so great. Mark, Randel, Jessica, Nicole and the babyface girl, and all the stuff, thanks team ! ✌🏼

I arrived at 8pm at the hostel and I was warmly welcomed by the front desk officer. They offered me to get a free late check-in cocktails from the bar. This hostel is a perfect fit for solo travelers with budget. I slept in the 8-bed mixed dorm room and the size is quite huge for its price. I was the last guest in that room and everyone was really nice welcoming me. I got new friends from different part of the world such as Russia, Taiwan, The USA and Kenya. As Indonesian who is extremely extroverted, I am really happy with my kind roommate. The toilet is dry and there’s a curtain that separates the shower. You have to bring your own soap and shampoo or you can purchase them in the lobby. They provide towels but you should ask for it when you do the check in. The light breakfast and free drinks at 6 to 7pm everyday is the highlight of this hostel. If I am going back to Manila, I will definitely stay here again!

It was the best place I had been to in Manila, I would recommend this place for travellers who are looking for affordable prices, dormitories and rooms, very clean and well taken care of. The breakfast is also well prepared, good, and never the same. But I have to say that the staff there are really friendly and accommodating, more like friends, thank you guys and girls for making it so memorable for me.

The hotel was absolutely fantastic! The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with comfortable beds and soft linens. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always greeting us with a smile and eager to assist with any requests. The breakfast buffet was impressive, offering a wide variety of delicious options. The location was perfect for exploring the city, and we enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Nice hostel with upstairs bar. A cat named Sky hangs out at the bar and it will keep you company while you drink a beer but it does not like to be picked up.

It's been 2 days here at the hostel and trust me I have been to more then 20 countries so far but here I felt like I'm at my home. Good people, good vibes, and a delicious food. Highly recommend 👏
