Tambayan Capsule Hostel

I really liked this hotel. Its affordable and beds are comfy. This is the place for you if you really just want to rest. However, since its a shared dormitory, you have to be quiet so you wont disturb others. The facilities are great. AC in the room is good but you also have your own cute little fan with you. The sheets were so fragrant. I just loved being tucked in a comfy and warm sheets. Another great thing with this hotel is the fact that its just right in front if Robinsons mall. Its also near Mcdonalds! Everything is within reach. Very strategic.

My home for the 2 weeks when I stayed in Manila for some important matters. They have good safety protocols to keep their guests safe during the pandemic. The staff are so accommodating with all my queries, concerns, and requests. I felt safe and at home during my stay. The place is clean and it is literally walking distance from the Robinson's Place Ermita and several important landmarks nearby. Overall, this is a good place to stay. Thank you Tambayan.

The bed was so comfortable w/ comforter and 1 pillow available. You do have to buy some of the items like basic toiletries but good thing I have a spare one. The location is very wise because it's close to the famous landmarks here in Manila like the Ocean Park, Manila Bay, Robinson's place, Hotels etc. The streets nearby are a very busy one. Its close to many fastfood chains and spa. Grab made it easier for me to navigate through the streets. The staff are very kind and professional. They assisted me in my baggage. The bathroom is also clean. I'm so happy that they have hot showers available. The Vasquez room that I got has a tv and safe box. It has a huge mirror facing my bed. The sad thing tho is that my ceiling was dripping so i switched my sleeping position. That is why I have to put 4 stars. However, this place is so practical for backpackers and travellers. It's so affordable. Will still come back to this hostel. ❤❤❤❤

The ambiance is great, not crowded, historical things displayed around the property, the linen is very good, towel is fluffy not a cheap one. Across the street is a big Robinsons mall, food chain stores, convenience stores and laundry shops close by. Most of all, great value for your stay, cheaper but clean compared to others..

Staying in a dorm-type room is not the most comfortable. The lockers are not big enough for travelling bags. No chairs/table in the room. The bags and things of my roommates are scattered on the floor. Generally clean though and AC works fine. I appreciate the self-service light breakfast. Staff are friendly and attends to needs immediately.

Ive stayed for a week in their single room. It is cheap and small. But for the price, cant complain. Its a little bit dirty though. I noticed some small cockroaches popping out from time to time. I was not so bothered much altough I have to kill it. Noticed also that there is a "family" or couple of mouses running around at the ceiling. Hence I gave a 3 stars only.

Great hostel with nice friendly staff. I paid 500php (update - previous trip was 2016, in 2018 the price for a capsule is 700php) for a capsule while I was there. The room was air-conditioned and each capsule had a fan, mirror, light, locker and international plug socket. The bathrooms were clean with hot showers (you are provided with a towel. There is a roof top area to sit in and a small open common room down stairs where you can also buy food. A 'light breakfast' is provided which is just toast/bread and a hot drink.

Value for money, chic place with strategic location to tourist places of interests (Rizal Park & National Museums) and easy to find food. A lot of Halal restaurant within walking distance. Bring ear plug, because in the night it was noisy due to nearby pubs. However not enough common room to sit because in the bar downstair, you'll feel the need to order something if you want to sit. Great WiFi connection!

(I am reviewing Tambayan's bar) I really wanted to give Tambayan a higher grade. A gorgeous, fresh, and exciting addition to Malate's food scene, Tambayan is the type of establishment that Malate desperately needs. However, I wasn't too keen on the dishes we had. We ordered their Sisig Rolls and their Chicken Tenders, and while the Tenders were just okay, the Rolls was a bit underwhelming and a bit too oily. The waitress who was assigned to our quadrant also seemed to be a bit out of it, although that could be due to a number of things. Now, to be fair, we didn't order the main entrees as we were hopping from place to place. We've heard a lot of good things about their main dishes that I'm willing to go back for a second try. And seriously, the place is just too gorgeous to fail. It just has to work. It just has to. For now, 3 stars.

The good people of this establishment recreates this colonial mansion to a refuge for the weary traveler. It offers spacious capsule beds engineered to maximize privacy and accommodate one's creature comforts. The wet areas are always kept clean and it smells clean. The sheets are clean, and crisp. The best thing about this place is the staff. They are kind, accommodating, and would always go out of their way and go the extra mile to deliver an experience beyond what I paid for. Tambayan is more to me than a transient stop; It's my second home.
