"The room was cleaned every day. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The staff made you feel at home and very helpful about restaurants, clubs and events in the hostel and surrounding areas. I was sad to leave after experiencing such excellent service. There were events daily ,rooftop bar and restaurant all in one. I would definitely recommend this place."

Highly recommend this hotel. It’s got a hostel cool atmosphere. It’s in a very nice part of Manila with lots of cafés and restaurants nearby. It has a cute rooftop restaurant. The room is fairly basic but perfect for what I needed. It was slightly noisy at night I could hear people in the corridor, but nothing that wouldn’t make me stay again.

Very helpful & friendly reception staff. Our room was very clean and the bed comfortable. We felt safe wandering around the area. The cafe food at the hotel was nice. A lady offered free massage in the cafe, the massage was wonderful, thank you! Our room (304) was above the Main Street and was particularly noisy during the night, even with ear plugs in! Perhaps a room at the back would be quieter.

Stayed in room 305 for 3 nights. This was a 4 bed dorm. The beds had a privacy curtain with 2 electrical sockets and 2 USB slots. The bed sheets were pretty thin. This was fine most of the time unless someone turns the A/C temp far too down. Other than that, the beds were pretty comfortable. The bed also came with a locker and requires a padlock to lock. It was big enough to hold a large bagpack.
The bathroom is generally clean and in good working order. Staff cleaned the bathroom once a...

The good: Modern tech in the room, comfortable bed and pillows, eco friendly from what i could see, relatively inexpensive, staff are very friendly and easy to contact (as in, easily accessible via various methods, although I didn't feel the need to contact them outside of checking in and out), relatively convenient location, WiFi is very good!
The not-so-good: Mugs and kettle were available, but no spoon for stirring my coffee that i bought outside, because nothing consumable (aside from...

I just needed a bed space after a late flight arrival, so Nomads was perfect. They accommodated my very late/early check in and staff were kind and helpful. The bed cubicle was basic but clean and comfortable.
One thing: there are two Nomads hostels. If travelling by taxi, be sure to make clear Nomads MNL is in Paranaque, near the airport. My yellow metered cab took me to the wrong site so I ended up paying much more than the short/cheap fare I was expecting. I think it was a genuine mistake, so...
