Malvar Hostel

The Malvar Hostel is located in the centre of the city about three blocks from Robinsons department store. Although it is located in Malate (lots of bars and massage parlours), the hostel was quiet and secure. It is a good place to stay when in transit.

Have stayed here a couple times, but the smoking in the common areas is a definite turn-off, and for that alone won't go back. The room was nice and well laid out, but then the hotel is quite new. Wifi is weak and intermittent. So best to get a room closer to the lobby. The complimentary breakfast is passable, but anyone who thinks the most important meal of the day should be better, go elsewhere, and yet, good luck.

Not too far from the airport yet close to many amenities. Clean hotel with everything working. Very pleasant staff who do the best during your stay. lots of restaurants and bars, plus a large shopping centre a few blocks away.
