This Impressive Hostel Changed My Mind About Hostels

Hostels are usually synonymous to dingy, lackluster, overcrowded lodging spaces that provide little to no privacy.

Typically home to budget-conscious backpackers who are willing to sacrifice glamorous amenities and top-notch facilities for affordability, hostels have earned a less than stellar reputation and spawned many travel horror stories. Fortunately, this negative perception is slowly fading into the background, as recent years have witnessed rare gems in the hostel industry stepping up their game to provide a worry-free, comfortable, and cost-effective lodging experience.

At the heart of Makati lies one of these gems. For transient travelers who want bang for their buck, Z Hostel is the ideal all-around hostel that seamlessly combines a young, hip vibe with a safe atmosphere. From clean and homey interiors, communal spaces for tourists and locals to mingle, and recreational in-house and outdoor events, Z Hostel is the locale for like-minded individuals who share a passion for meeting new people and seeing the world.
