LUB D HOSTEL MANILA: The Newest Chic Place Stay at in Makati

When I travel, I usually put a premium as to where I will stay. It needs to be in the center of everything, easily accessible, and clean. Of course being affordable is one of the key things that I need also. At LUB D, I think everything that I want and need is accounted for.
 LUB D is actually a hostel chain that comes from Thailand. It's known as a backpackers' paradise but is also quite quirky and perfect for family and couples alike.
 Just opened a few weeks ago, LUB D in MAKATI has an impressive and clean atmosphere. The second floor is filled with surprises. Aside from the usual amenities that you would see at different hostels, they have a number of unique things that would entice you to visit. They have a lot of board games, a couple of arcade fixtures, and even a pool table.
 Visitors could indulge in unlimited popcorn while relaxing at their movie studio. I could already see myself just relaxing their and watching a nice movie.
 
 There are 3 room categories that would cater to your needs. They have a single room that would work for couples of travelers. If you're a big group or a family, they have a room that could be configured to 3 or 4 beds. A queen sized on the first floor and a couple more up top.
 
 The private rooms have their own amenities such as a tea and coffee making facility, cable tv, and a private washroom.
The washroom is clean and complete. It is equipped with a soap and shampoo dispenser. Bidet is also attached to the toilet.
 For backpackers, they have rooms that could accommodate 8 persons. Each one has their own curtain for their privacy, lamp, socket, and a locker for your valuables. Unlike other hostels, their mattresses are thick and their pillows are comfortable. There is a mixed type room and some just for women.
 Food is pretty good because they partnered with Chef Nicco and Chef Quenee of Hey Handsome fame. As such, the dishes are simple but packs great flavor.
 To be honest, the dishes they brought out were simple but delicious. They even had grilled cheese and pasta to make things better.

In a few more weeks, LUB D MAKATI would open up their roof top bar to the public. I can't wait to check it out and enjoy the view. Visitors and guests could use their parking facilities. Plus, you could also check out the different food establishments in the area. It's just a stone throw away from the night life Poblacion has to offer.

VESSEL HOSTEL: La Union's Surfers' Paradise

 When one thinks about La Union, there's the beach and the surfing that comes with it. Visiting the place is both relaxing and enjoyable. There are loads of activities to do and ELYU has a bit of everything. One of the things that might interest you would be this new hostel that only opened to the public this year. Visit VESSEL HOSTEL.
 Located in Urbiztondo, San Juan, La Union, Vessel Hostel is a compound that houses comfortable bunks that would cater to everyone's needs. It has a bit of surfer and hipster vibe that millenials would appreciate.
 Just off the parking lot, you get to realize why it's called Vessel. The structure is made up of different container crates that gives it an interesting look. Once in the lobby, the staff is very helpful and accommodating. They could assist you with tours and even help in booking surfing lessons with amazing teachers.
 Each floor is designed to give a 70's feel. It's like telling you to unwind and keep things slow.
 Each room has at the minimum 4 beds, others have more. Don't worry as all the sleeping quarters have air condition and each one is given a towel. Every bunk has its own light switch, table, power sockets, and locker. Guests should bring in their own locks to secure valuables. The washroom is common but complete and clean. They have hot and cold water for the shower, bidet, and tissue. Don't forget to bring toothbrush and toothpaste. If you don't remember, there are nearby stores.
One of the best things about VESSEL HOSTEL would be its location. Although not on the main national highway, it's a stone throw away from all the legit and delicious must visit restaurants in the area. Actually, you could say that Vessel is in the center of it all.
 Aside from the parking lot, they also have a number of other amenities. There are showers located just outside near the lobby if you need a quick one. There's also wash areas for your feet just so as not to dirty the place. Furthermore, they offer a nice view at their top floor. Here, you could hangout and check the waves. This is also where breakfast is served.

Although it might look simple, the breakfast is actually filling. There's bread, banana, boiled egg, jam, butter, and coffee. One thing that's amazing here is that they have a refrigerator and some cooking instruments that you could use if you wish to cook your own meal. Don't forget to bring a water container as they have their own dispenser as well.
