Amidst the ubranization, traffic, and grimy walls, Manila still remains as one of the places in our country that is rich in heritage and history. Most of its structures and buildings have stories to tell about its past. And sometimes, because of the vast history the city contains, we can’t explore the city all in one day. We need a place to rest and even stay for the night if we want to continue our Manila adventure.
The country’s capital has hostels that offer accommodations perfect for backpackers. Those who are on a budget but still want to have a comfortable place to stay.
