Manila Hostel review: Manila Bay Hostel

simple but clean hostel; cant see from the outside that they rent rooms, because its on the 4th floor and only an edge of that floor. We rented a room with aircon at the front side. With view over Manila bay and also the US embassy.
A bit noisy coz of Roxas blvrd, but not too disturbing.
they have three common showers/toilets. One also with hot water, the others only with cold. Small but clean.
You can go in and out 24hrs a day, just ring the bell to come in. Outside the building there is a security officer, so no one allowed can come in.
Personel is friendly and helpful.
I dont know if they can arrange a breakfast, but you can order there coffee (php15) and beer (php50 i think for 1/2l red horse).
Its a perfect spot to start sightseeing Manila. Rizal Park at 50m; Manila bay across the street; lots of musea you can walk to; Intramuros only 15min walk; 2 shopping malls also not too far to walk (SM city Manilla and Robinson's SM). And lots more.
International airport 20min with taxi (300php).
Oh, I almost forgot.....they have cable tv with too many channels
