The location, value for money, the place is neat even the building is a bit old.
Actually, not that I don't like. It was too bad the rooftop cafe and bar were closed when I went there. I was looking forward to checking it out when I booked.

Great location first of all. Near to everything in Poblacion and Burgos. Decent rooms. Big comfortable bed with cold AC. Rooftop was a great surprise with many options available. Most amazing helpful staff both in reception and guards. A very relaxed atmosphere where you feel welcome. I would definitely stay again! Oh btw I stayed actually 2 weeks or more, not only 1 night.
Some rooms are a bit loud if facing the busy street. Hot water faucet takes some getting used to. The hotel is aging a bit but not a big deal. A TV would be welcome and also some more furniture.

Staff is friendly and courteous. Covered rooftop terrace opens at 7:30 for bf and remains open until late night with a dj performing at evenings, food offer is diverse and good too. 4 people shared rooms are embellished with exclusive materials, (marble, wood), bunk beds with curtains for privacy, aircon works well, sufficient power sockets, a spacious locker with nr code easy to en- and decode, small working desks for all 4 guests. Those who enjoy nightlife will find it in house as well as lots of offers in the close surroundings, you won´t stay alone for long.
There´s hardly anything to complain about, bathroom corners could be a little more clean, but overall cleanliness is good compared to equivalent hostels.

Stayed for 4 nights in a king room for 2200 php a night. Room 406. It’s the most expensive room you can get here and it was totally worth the extra money. The room was big, the bed was big and comfortable. It had a memory foam bed pad. The aircon worked so well and the room is as perfectly freezing cold at night. Despite all the reviews citing issues with the bathroom mine was clean. On Monday-Wednesday nights there was no issue with the noise from some of the reviews here. The area is perfect for night life. I walked back to the hotel at 330 am and didn’t feel unsafe at all. The 24 hour security guard at the hotel made me feel safe. The front desk staff were so helpful and friendly and spoke English very well. I’m very glad I took the chance to stay here and I would absolutely come back.
Minor stuff. Each time I showered, It took 5 minutes for the hot water in the shower to arrive. There’s no tv. That’s all.

I like the cleanliness and I really felt comfortable. The room was really cold which I like. The location is very accessible and also a lot of nearby essential and leisure shops.
Not that I hate it but if I may suggest, maybe a new set of towels and blankets. Because they seemed to be a bit worn out. Like the towel had a rough and dry texture of fibers.

Location, staff , clean, air conditioner. Wifi . Toilet 🚽 best . Free towel, no security deposit.
The upper restaurant has a high rate and hidden coast like if you get free drink shot voucher but when you go there to take drink they will ask you water or soda and after that they give you directly bill of soda this is how they scam Last one year I have traveled all southeast of Asia travail but I have never seen this kind of scam No free water , coffee or tea No soundproof

White Banana Manila turned out to be top place to stay for me. Hostel is very clean, they have all facilities one can have need of, Hostel Staff are very friendly and understands the language barrier of Global Clientele, For me hostel staff catered by understanding my everyneed. Bar is located downstairs and At the top Bar is very exquisite and full of beautiful city views. If you book a Bunk-Bed or Private Room only this hostel is in-expensive for all. Location of the Hostel is very convenient as many different "Resturants, Banks - Atm, Bars, Convenience Stores, Pharmacy, Laundry and Laundromat are on the crossroads of the locations. Transportation Facilities like you can get local taxi or grab pickup at the entrance door. Famous Jimney pickup location are on the crossroad. Bar at the downstairs and at the top serves best drinks and the bar is very safe for all especially solo ladies and gentlemen travellers, happy vibe and finest crowd in the place comparing others. Suggested and Appreciated.

It's in the same location as lubd and zhostel but it is much cheaper and honestly it is more or less the same as lub d. The dorm rooms on level 2 are not too noisy. And the private room on level 4 is ok unless it's Friday Saturday nights.then there is noise from the bars but not too bad. The the four bed dorm on level 2 has good aircon and the wifi works there too. The beds are private with curtain. The showers have hot water. The staff are 24 hours and are nice. Can't really complain for the price.
On the weekend it has a bit of a party hostel vibe, with a random person coming in the room and stayed there for a while, not sure if this is common. Also on the weekend a few of the guests were drunk and talking on the phone early in the morning.

I like how comfortable my bed is, & the locker is big enough to store all my belongings. Also my bed is not that shaky and noisy (the hostel room) 👍 I like the fact that they have lights in every bed and outlets!
The shower curtain stinks/smells so bad, hope they will replace it every month. Also I hope they will put some rugs outside the cr. Too noisy if they have an event going on at their rooftop bar.

My stay in white banana was incredibly awesome. I was with my friend stayed in a shared room and we made new friends. We joined the pob crawl! One of my best nights where we went to different bars with these strangers but to be honest it felt like we've been friends from long time. So cool! Also, kuddos to Nikko our night would not be as fun without you 👌 we love your positive energy. (He is also the best match maker 🤫) . It was the best decision to stay in White Banana the location is just walking distance from the bars. Get drunk and crawl to your room. Definitely will come back here.
