LOKAL HOSTEL
Walking into Lokal Hostel is
like attending a private viewing
of homegrown art. The duo
behind this artsy lodging, Don
Bautista and Andrew Licaros,
is serious about exposing their
guests to Philippine culture,
with art as the entry point. The
walls at the hotel feature Pinoy-
themed murals by Ang Gerilya.
You can choose to stay in an air-
conditioned private or dorm-
type room, or in a fan-cooled
room.
Rates start at PHP500.

Z HOSTEL
If you think “luxury hostel”
— the new class of multi-bed
dorm — is an oxymoron, you
need to stay at Z Hostel. The
rooms here boast amenities you
won’t typically find at a hostel,
including en-suite bathrooms
and key-card access.
Include Z Hostel’s Sunday
Slowdown in your itinerary. It’s
a weekly sunset-cocktail session
where guests can mix with the
locals and maybe even get
some inside information on
the city.
Rates start at PHP545.

THE JEEPNEY
HOUSE
One outstanding feature of
The Jeepney House is its fully
equipped kitchenette. If you
feel you need assistance or
someone to cook for you, just
approach a staff member to
make arrangements. Aside from
affordable accommodations,
The Jeepney House also offers
unique Metro Manila tours.
Rates
start at PHP475.
