Hilik Boutique Hostel

When I had to extend my stay in Makati for some reason, I looked for a cheap hostel that is not too far from the area. Thankfully, Hilik Boutique Hostel still had vacant double rooms available on booking sites. I didn’t want to walk in and leave unhappy, without a place to stay. Other properties were already fully booked due to this period being the holiday season. My main purpose was to find a very affordable place to spend like 6-7 hours only to sleep before heading out to the airport for my domestic flight, and I think I was able to achieve just that. I also wanted a room for myself for added privacy because I knew I would be sleeping, looking really disheveled, and all that. The purpose was to catch up on sleep and sleep alone. I had a good sleep, nevertheless. They even offer free breakfast, but I didn’t avail this as I was dead asleep. I only woke up to check out. Haha! The staff were nice and friendly, and the property has an elevator working only during the day; thus, if you arrive late, you will have to carry your luggages to the second floor. Thankfully, it’s just one the second floor. Haha! Their front desk is open 24/7 though and you can check in anytime. You can also hail a cab or, better yet, request for Uber or Grab to go to other points of interest within Makati. Overall, the place was quite all right, and I really have no qualms about it because this is just how I am (I don’t require much and I am very easy to please) and it was super “sulit”. Real value for your money! I recommend this place to solo travellers. :)
