Always good to find out about new places .you are right about how expensive Manila / Phils is compared to other countries in SE Asia .Can find reasonable hotels in bangkok for $20 per room , includes a/c etc .Maybe the Phils will wake up to how much money they miss out on from tourism .Not all travellers want or can afford 5 star , and certainly wont pay 5 star prices for 3 star properties .

So it’s like a glorified (and wildly painted) hostel? Interesting concept. Hostel price but with a better bed and no need to share the room with stangers!
