Are you a balikbayan or a returning OFW who are in need of a budget accommodation in Metro Manila because you no longer want to impose on the hospitality of your relatives or friends? Or are you coming from the province and need a bed & breakfast somewhere near the airport and the shopping malls to catch your flight early and maximize your time for your last-minute "pasalubong" needs?

Come and book with us at the rate of only P750.00 per person per night, modest breakfast included. You don't need to spend more or wait for someone to share an expensive Makati room with you. Even as you pay so much less, your accommodation is classy yet intimate. You will be in the heart of Makati's night life but can retreat to a peaceful abode at night.  You can be with strangers or you can choose to book with your other relatives and friends because our place is anyway a 7-bed mixed dorm.

So what about security and privacy?  Most Filipinos are new to the concept of hosteling and often have reservations when staying in a dorm. But if you've experienced backpacking in Asia and Europe, you will realize it's the safest and most enjoyable concept in alternative tourism. Genuine backpackers have so much respect for fellow backpackers.  They are mostly friendly and expect the same from their "housemates".  Even then, we will provide you with individual lockers where you can hang your clothes and keep your valuables.  Our receptionist also accepts personal things to be deposited with us in the duration of your stay. As for your privacy, individual beds have reading lamps attached to the walls and are likewise provided with rolling curtains which you may use anytime, should you decide to "operate within your own small corner of the world".

The dorm is airconditioned and so is the common area, although we shut it off when not in use because we advocate prudent use of resources for the sake of Mother Earth. There is a number of traditional but fun activities which we suggest you do while relaxing in our place such as playing "sungka" or "dama" or jamming with two owners of the hostel who sing well. Internet is FREE and if you bring your laptop with you, there's WI-FI connection in the dorm.  We have a small, well-kept porch that gives you the view of Makati's landscape minus the pollution since the building is right beside bel-air subdivision where lots of trees are planted.

Staying in OUR MELTING POT hostel, you will be close to many things you need -- 10 minutes or one-jeepney-ride away to Landmark, Glorietta or Greenbelt Malls, a stone's throw away from the Power Plant Mall, the A-venue Mall, Burgos night life, classy restaurants, expat bars, but you also have the option to just passively watch things unfold while enjoying the view of the city from you own vantage point.  Founded on the ideals of respect and quality service, this bed&breakfast joint offers a sincere, personal feel of hostelling in the old fashioned, endearing way of Filipinos. Our staff are trained to help you transition to a fresher experience of home away from home in this peaceful, modern, comfortable and friendly half-way house or hostel.
