Helpful owners and homey if busy common spaces are the hallmarks of this popular Malate crash pad. The downstairs common area, open to the street, lends it a friendly neighbourhood feel, while upstairs is for lounging. Most of the six- to 14-bed dorms are air-conditioned; they are roomy enough, with big wooden lockers.
Flashpackers should target the fancy top-whack private room out back.
