DIRECTIONS

In general, Our Melting Pot should be accessible from any part of Metro Manila. It is located right on the corner of Makati Avenue and Guerrero St., directly across the A-Venue Mall parking lot.

From Manila Airport (approx 30 minutes)

From the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) airport, take a cab to the hostel. If you wish to avoid the stress of bargaining with taxi drivers, ride an airport taxi (yellow) instead of the regular metered taxi (white). Your safeguard when using ordinary metered taxis is to choose more reliable taxi operators such as those that you can find in note #2 below.

Tell the cab driver that you are headed for Makati Avenue, to Mavenue building across the A-Venue Mall parking lot. This area is known to most taxi drivers but just in case you are asked for more information, A-Venue Mall comes after the intersection of Makati Avenue and Gil Puyat, even past Kalayaan Avenue and closer to JP Rizal Street.

Please note that the taxi driver will not know anything about Our Melting Pot Hostel especially since we just moved in to this new location/building effective December 1, 2011. OMP signages still have to be put up when the renovation of the entire building is done.

Additional Instructions:

1. For changes in your ETA in the hostel, kindly update your reservation details or email us in advance (ourmeltingpotbackpackers@gmail.com). While we do receive guests anytime of the day/night, it would work well for both you and the hostel management if the NEW or ACTUAL time of your arrival is known, other than the default time found in the system.

2. It is still an option to take a metered taxi from the Manila airport, especially if you are arriving in broad daylight. Upon arrival at NAIA, metered taxis are easier (cheaper) to find if you go up the departure area, where taxi drivers unload departing passengers. However, if your ETA is beyond 21:00, just queue up to get a coupon taxi right outside the arrival hall. The company names of more reliable metered taxi operators are: R&E, E&E, MGE, N&S, P&A, 24/7, Munich, Tai, Sturdy, Basic, D'Avis, and Dollar. In general, you don't have to bargain with their drivers to put down their meters, although of course there are always some exceptions.

3. From the NAIA to the hostel, the fare should be around P200.00 to P250.00 on regular metered taxis and around P350.00 to P450.00 on coupon / airport taxi. The taxi driver normally takes the main avenue called EDSA, where the Metro Rail Transit runs. After about 5-10 minutes on that highway, it makes a left on AYALA AVENUE, then right on MAKATI AVE. When you have come past Mandarin Hotel along Makati Avenue, you're at most 5 minutes away from the hostel. Once you see St. Giles Hotel, two more blocks you will find Mavenue building on your right, at the corner of Guerrero Street.

From Clark Airport (approx 2 hours)

Buy a bus ticket to Manila (Pasay bus station) at the counter near the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (Clark) airport exit. The fare should cost you from P300 to P350. From Pasay bus station, take an ordinary metered taxi to the hostel. Tell the cab driver that you are headed for Makati Avenue, to Mavenue building across the A-Venue Mall parking lot.
