Cheap Manila Accommodation: Our Melting Pot Hostel

Cheap accommodation in manila is finally possible when you book a bed in Our Melting Pot. The hostel offers a bed & breakfast accommodation in a MIXED-DORM setting where you can book one of its 7 beds. You can find this place in the cozy central district of Barangay Bel-Air, Makati City. It has recently been set up by a group of young professionals who are both passionate and fascinated about traveling. The new, comfortable, friendly and trendy backpacking joint called OUR MELTING POT is nested in Unit 5-K, Azotea de Bel-ar Condo, Polaris St., Makati City, Philippines. Contact numbers are: ☎ (+63 2)393-9189 c/o Liza, or (+63 2)897-0809 local 119, outside office hours and on weekends, or anytime thru mobile (+63 917)832-8539 c/o Lani, (+63 917)803-9248 c/o Kidz.


For only about US$16 for an individual overnight stay, Our Melting Pot is truly a cheap accommodation in Manila. Nowhere can you find in this part of Makati City, a budget room that costs less than US$30 per person, per night. More than that, the hostel lives up to the true sense of backpacking where opportunity to meet and bond with other travelers is facilitated. Further, the place is literally at the center of many things, less than 30 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes to the Ayala Center where you find the Glorietta and the Greenbelt Malls, close to the Metro trains, US$2-taxi-ride away from major tourist attractions, etc. It is a strategic and practical jump-off point to the prime tourist destinations of this country’s 7,107 islands.

Our Melting Pot is run by a group of young entrepreneurs whose combined travel experiences have brought them to various corners of the world including Southeast Asia and the Pacific, Western Europe and the U.S. They have extensive experience of staying in hostels, homestays or backpackers joints which they gladly bring with them in this endeavor in the hope of contributing to the Philippines’ bid to be the next preferred destination for budget travelers.

Kudos then to these young enterprising people and the rest of the gang as Our Melting Pot is born at last in no better place but the hippiest financial and entertainment hub of the Philippines. If you are the lucky guest who finds out first about the hostel, its modern atmosphere and peaceful vibe will greet you, aptly complementing the vibrant and diverse character of Bel-air, Makati, which has been for the last few years slowly giving birth to many forms and signs of life in the area, from the mundane to spiritual, laid-back to upbeat, western to oriental, including the very basic need of finding a cheap accommodation in Manila.
