One of the best hostels I've stayed in!!! Staff very helpful. The room was very clean and large. Loved the rooftop bar. Aera around the hostel very busy, it was a little loud only because there happened to be an event on the street right in front, if that hadn't been going on it would not have been. Great location! Thanks for a great stay!

Great place to stay for a more social experience

Had a great experience here, Very social
and very friendly staff especially Jamir and Sophia the volunteer staff took me and other guests on a day tour around the city on their own time. My private room was clean for the most part and comfortable private accommodation. Breakfast was also well prepared and delicious.

Not a place for you to sleep and rest.

I like Makati, but in my opinion, this hostel is located in Makati's worst location. Inside of the hostel is fine but the neighborhood is sketchy. Surrounded by bars. Very noisy!! I was there for 5 nights and I couldn't sleep well for 3 nights because from 11pm to 5am, a neighborhood bar played loud \"music\". The bass, BOOM,BOOM,BOOM was so loud !!! Terrible. I wanted to leave on the 3rd day, but unfortunately, since I booked at Hotel.com, it's nonrefundable. I stayed in a private room 303B (don't stay in that room, unless it's Monday when the bar is closed). The staff was nice enough to switch me to another room. Overall, it's the worst part of my 2 week trip, and I was so so so regret that I booked here because for almost the same price I paid ( single room but can sleep two people), I could've booked a much nicer hotel in a much better location. Will not go back again and I don't recommend to those who want a good sleep.

The rooftop night view was awesome. Overlooking the night lights of the Makati building is like New York's skyscrapers. The roof has 3 bars with a reasonable size but well catered for its purpose. The rooms are neat, and that bathroom was clean as Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas. The lobby is nicely laid out, and the cozy ambiance is its presence. The street outside is similar to urban streets in Japan and South Korea, and I would say it has an L.A. (Santa Monica) vibe. Down outside the hotel, a 3-minute walk will take you to restaurants, bars, and coffee places. Definitely a place to be back again to enjoy Makati at its best. Z HOTEL, thanks.

Perfect Stay at Z-Hostel, Manila

Had an excellent stay at Z-Hostel in Manila. The central location makes it convenient to reach popular pubs and feels very safe. The hostel facilities are well-maintained and clean. The rooftop bar is a standout feature, offering great views and a social atmosphere. Overall, Z-Hostel is a top choice for any traveler to Manila.

IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO SLEEP, DON’T STAY HERE

I booked the 6-bed female dorm.

Positives:
- comfortable bed
- breakfast included though I only drank the coffee

Negatives;
- this dorm (and the 6 bed mixed) are in the 5th floor, there are 6 floors in total and the roof terrace
- terrible music until 2am on a Monday, totally precluding sleep, even with earplugs

Too noisy although the rest are great.

Staffs are great and very kind.
Hostel is next to a popular bar and it gets very noisy during the night that you can hear the crowds “in the room”. The bunkbed also makes sound everytime you move a bit.
The interior of the hostel is very modern. A private curtain for each bed would be better.

Don't forget to get your deposit back!!!

Please please make sure to remember to get your deposit money back. The staff forgot to give it to me, but entered in his computer saying that I had received my deposit money when I was checking out in the morning. Later around 8pm, I went back to the hostel to let them know that I never received my deposit back, but this female staff there consistently insisted that I got my money just because the computer had said so.
So I had to talk to a different staff to really really kindly ask if they can run the CCTV, which they did. Well well, it turns out there, while I was distracted by talking to a different staff at the check out desk, the male staff who was signing me out totally missed giving me the money back BUT INSTEAD JUST CHECKED IT OFF ON THE COMPUTER SAYING THAT I RECEIVED IT. And there was no apology about this, even after the entire staff finding out that the hostel never gave me my money. They told me that \"I had forgotten to take the money\" LOL. Consider other hostels as an option please.

Breakfast is mediocre

It was my 1st time booking a shared room in a Hostel and I quickly found out that it was not for me. Although the room was orderly, the aircon is located besides one of the upper beds so the person staying in that bed will complain that it is cold so when the temperature is adjusted to that person's comfort level the beds located farther from the aircon will be hotter due to high temperature. The buffet breakfast is mediocre. The sound from the roof top bar is loud so don't expect to get a good night sleep before 2am. The check in clerk insisted on asking P500 cash deposit even though their rules accepts credit cards.

The Little things

Z Hostel is a little more expensive for a hostel, but there are so many little things that they thought of to make the hostel experience better. Nice, private dorm beds, and not crammed in a small room. Good restaurant, great vibe. I will return.

Higher floors get noise from the rooftop bar.

Not as great as it looks

Private rooms are not as nice as they look and smaller. No hot water and the shower smells of sewage. Staff were nice and friendly and could order you a taxi but not that helpful with things to do in the city. Rooftop bar was nice and full of locals so harder to meet other travelers but if you want to meet more locals than this is a good way to do it. Makati is supposed to be a nice area but this hostel is in the seedy part of it. Overall I don't think this hostel is as good as it looks and I've stayed in a lot of hostels over the past couple of years.

Complete hostel experience from A to Z

This was my fourth time staying in Z. The staying guests here are in general, very nice and friendly with the traveler-hostel vibe. The rooms (esp. beds and lockers) are smartly designed. The staff are courteous and helpful, but sometimes get overwhelmed by the number of guests. It can get a little noisy because of the rooftop bar, more so because of the obnoxious patrons rather than the party music. Some of the guests commented that the room rates are a little expensive, but I don't think you can get a better place to stay at this price anywhere else in the Metro.
