Z Hostel

About this place Z Hostel

Z Hostel is Manila's most celebrated design hostel and one of the most LGBTQ+-welcoming accommodation options in the city at the mid-range price point. Located in Makati ? Metro Manila's financial district and one of its most internationally-focused municipalities ? Z Hostel combines the social infrastructure of a hostel (rooftop pool, bar, communal spaces, regular events) with design quality and a service ethic that punches well above its price bracket. The hostel's rooftop pool and bar have made it a social destination in their own right ? open to non-staying guests and regularly populated by a mix of travelers, Manila expats, and young local professionals who are drawn to the vibrant, inclusive atmosphere. The LGBTQ+-welcoming character of Z Hostel is not a marketing claim but a lived reality: the staff are explicitly welcoming, the social mix among guests skews young and internationally open-minded, and the hostel has organically become a comfortable base for LGBTQ+ budget and mid-range travelers across its years of operation. Private rooms and dormitories both available. The Makati location places guests in one of Manila's most navigable districts, with the Makati CBD, Greenbelt shopping complex, and the Poblacion nightlife neighbourhood all within easy reach. The Malate gay district is a 20-minute Grab ride. For LGBTQ+ travelers who want a social, design-conscious base without luxury hotel pricing, Z Hostel is the standout recommendation in Metro Manila.
