Backpacking Jaja's Cozy Crib, Manila, Filipinas

A homey, cozy and affordable accommodation in Makati, the nicest city in Metro Manila, now caters to travelers on a budget. At P350.00 a day, a breakfast is also served for free. Owned by a budget traveler and backpacker, Jaja, this place aims to guide travelers as they make their initial stop to go around the Philippines and to promote the better and best of Manila to travelers from all over the world, one bunk at a time!

My name is Jaja and i have backpacked in Southeast Asia mainland. I know what it’s like to backpack in South East Asia. Manila could be surprising as it is entirely different from the rest of Southeast Asia. The travel friends I have invited, hosted and showed around have always been thankful since they were able to see a different better Manila - unlike from what they hear. So, I want travellers to see a better Manila even thru this hostel.

Ok, so I am living in Manila, in Makati specifically. Most foreigners I’ve gone out with at parties tell me they love Manila. All the travel friends I’ve showed around had persuaded me to be a guide since they enjoyed the experiences I introduced to them when in Manila. In anywhere, it is always great to have someone to clue you in.

Luckily for guests, I have a spare room in my flat that is big enough to accommodate 4-6 travellers max. I have made it my personal project to make renovations and make it suitable and cosy for travellers looking for comfort in Manila. Even better, my place is in Makati – it is the financial, commercial and party district of Manila and it is always easier to get to anywhere from here. Also, staying here will be comfortable for you in terms of convenience.

I am staying here as it is very convenient and my location has got easy access to anything. Should I not be around, my household guardian will be there to help.

This is a cosy place that I've converted to a mini-hostel to reach out to travellers. I am starting with a few beds for now. During your stay, you will have

Free breakfast: coffee, tea, toast, butter and jam

Free use of towels, linens

Internet usage

and Personalized travel tips/advise from me.
