Ideal place to stay in Manila. Very beatiful garden, friendly staff and safe. Not just in the centre of Manila, but very easy and cheap transfer everywhere in the city. Near to internatioanal airport(20 min.) but far to clark airport(ca 2 hours). I would come here agein when Im in Manila
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
We were only here for one night but we were very impressed with this place. It's clean and beautiful and the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are a bit small, to the point that I didn't think that luggage for 6 people would actually fit in the 6-person dorm we were in. Luckily there were only 3 people in it at the time. Another downside is that the coed shower rooms did not include any changing area, or even a convenient place to hang a towel, so getting out of the shower was a bit tricky. All in all I would definitely stay here again. It is close to the airport and also within walking distance of some great restaurants.
Staff are very kind and friendly.
This hostel is build at most safety area in the philippines.
Thank you.

Directions
address---GREEN MANGO INN, 365 Aguirre Avenue (near El Grande Avenue & 8 houses from BPI Family Bank), BF Homes, Sucat, Paranaque City, Metro Manila
Various suggestions on how to reach Green Mango Inn... by the way, if you have any questions, or if you are lost or you want Green Mango Inn's young owner Wilson to talk to you,
***Note---suggest you get FREE Metro Manila and Philippine maps at counters in airport just before you get out of airports...
here are my directions to reach Green Mango Inn.....
BY TAXI...(take metered taxis, not the more expensive coupon taxis...ask airport staff how you can go to DEPARTURE area where there are usually many ordinary metered taxis from passengers going to airport)...From the airports, please tell taxi driver to bring you to SUCAT ROAD and tell him to enter LOPEZ AVENUE...in Sucat Road, watch out out for the Second Intersection with 7-11 store to turn Right there into LOPEZ AVENUE, then Lopez Avenue connects immediately to El Grande Avenue, then when you see Mercury Drugstore on the left, and Wow salon on the Right side & a traffic light in front---please turn right into Aguirre Avenue... we are just a few meters down the road on the left side, we are exactly 8 houses away from BPI Family Savings Bank.
Be sure that taxi driver uses his taxi meter, because we are just so near the airports, especially if no rush-hour traffic jams.
***Reminder---PLEASE NOTE, turn right on Sucat Road only when you see a building with 7-11 store (there are other 7-11 stores in Sucat Road). This one is building 7-11, turn Right here from Sucat Road and enter LOPEZ AVENUE...Thanks!
***NOTE ON TAXIS FROM AIRPORT: Coupon (pre-paid) taxis are available at the airports to bring you to our inn or any other place. Rates are fixed and dependent on the destination and generally are more expensive compared to what you would pay in an ordinary metered taxi. Coupon taxi counters usually are found immediately after exiting customs in our airports. Expect to pay somewhere between US$10 to 15 for destinations within Metro Manila. The usual metered taxis are generally not allowed at the Arrival Terminal of airports so you would either need to catch an ordinary metered taxi un-loading passengers at the Departure Area of the airport or outside the airport complex. This may be easier said than done however, particularly when lugging around kilos upon kilos of baggage. But if you don't have lots of luggage, it's best to get ordinary metered taxis for lower fare.
BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT, outside the airport, look for jeepneys going the SUCAT direction, then tell jeepney driver you will go SUCAT ROAD (also called Dr. Santos Avenue) and tell jeepney driver you want to stop at LOPEZ AVENUE and you need pay only P10 to P12 pesos each person, go down when you see the Second Intersection with 7-11 store, walk towards LOPEZ AVENUE a few steps to look for a tricycle near Best Choice mini-mart which will cost you fare of only P7 pesos per person (if you don't want to share tricycle with other passengers and want to leave immediately by yourself, just pay tricycle driver P17 pesos), then tell tricycle driver to bring you to 365 Aguirre Avenue of BF Homes by passing El Grande Avenue, tell tricycle driver that he should turn right when El Grande Avenue already meets intersection with Aguire Avenue...8 houses from BPI Family Bank down the road of Aguirre Avenue on the left side is Green Mango Inn.
Warmest Welcome!
