A hostel stay in the metro doesn't have to mean sacrificing in amenities and comfort. For smart travelers, Z Hostel is something worth checking out (and checking into). With 30 rooms and 128 beds, this new Makati accommodation is considered the biggest and only luxury hostel in the Philippines.

Z Hostel translates communal living into a modern and friendly experience. Many solo travelers and avid backpackers choose to stay in hostels for two main reasons: they are budget-friendly, and usually run by (and accomodated by) sociable folk. It's a place where one can have casual, communal hangouts with fellow guests that indulge in their wanderlust, rather than a standard hotel's more formal, keep-to-yourself atmosphere.

Z offers dorm-style air-conditioned rooms for their guests, and en-suite bathrooms in all of their rooms that have hot and cold water in the showers. All bunk beds have reading lights, and each guest has a spacious individual locker, equipped with an electrical outlet for gadgets and charging.
