Wohooo! finally sharing you my experience in the newest tambayan in the heart of Manila.
Tambayan means a place to hang out with friends or family.
Tambayan Capsule Hostel is the newest luxury hostel in Manila and is designed for the new generation of adventurers and travelers. Yes, "Capsule Hostel" I was thinking of "Japan" where is everybody's goal to visit one day. When I first saw the photo, I told myself "I will definitely stay in this newest tambayan in Manila this weekend."
Feels like a Princess in a grand entrance

Backstory: (you can skip this...)
Cathryn and I arrived at Pedro Gil LRT Station, we asked the pedicab driver to take us in Bocobo St. where is the hostel's located. We asked how much is the rate going there and he said "PHP40" and we assumed maybe for the 2 of us or PHP40/each. When we reached the establishment he said "PHP140" and we were shocked and nothing to do about it, so I paid him and let go. We were surprised that it was just walking distance from the LRT station and just near the Robinsons Place Manila. Huhuhu We were doomed, but yeah that's life. The security guard said that the usual rate is PHP70/pax for pedicab ride. Sigh.
Moving forward...
I got the Double Private Room with a Private Bath for me and Cathryn because guys, it's affordable and they have a 20% discount for their soft opening from PHP1,500 it is now PHP1,200! Plus some of our friends were out of town at that time, private group room is not applicable for us. Sayang!
Tip:
If you are staying with your friends get the Private Group Room good for 2 to 8 people. #SquadGoals
We checked out the place, ugh, so lovely!
Cathryn was amazed by their chandelier.
View from above. :)
They have tight security only guests are allowed to go upstairs, so safe and sound!
Well, well, well....
"Romeo saves me I don't want to be alone..."

Staircase with old Manila history photos on the wall.
I love Philippine History (my favorite subject in High School)
so these are amazing for me!
Wonderwall
They have books! Hopefully, when I come back again, they have more books.
My favorite spot for board games and card games, perfect for barkada!
Private Rooms are located on the ground floor.
Here's our room
Manila City Hall Clock Tower history painted on the wall.
(excuse the bag hahaha)
I love the space! Perfect for a mini-studio for photoshoot? :P
I like their shower room!
Hello?
Our TV had no cable yet because they just launched last February and I think they need to add closet too.
Shared Rooms and Private Group Rooms
I had a chance to tour and checked it all with the help of their staff Sheila to see how their capsule bed looks like. They have private group rooms for 2-8 persons which can be booked by parties of 2, 4, 6, or 8 persons.
Spell: Squad Goals!
If only friends were completed that time, I definitely go for private group room. This is perfect for us.
OMG! This is so comfortable, I could not help it, so I went inside to try.
Rooms are air-conditioned and this little electric fan is additional if you want more air also there's an exhaust fan, mirror, sockets and light!
Blinds curtain for privacy :)
Each room has a historical landmark in Manila painted on the wall. Interesting!
This room is big and different, the beds are double-decks (sideways) and there's a veranda near the Gastrobar where you can hear the noise from there, but you can close the door and have a good night sleep.
Blinds curtain so you can rest without any distraction.
Their shared bathrooms are clean, I swear!!
You can check more on Tambayan Hostel gallery here.
You don't have to worry where to eat because they have cocktail bar and restaurant located on the roof deck of the hostel. I'll tell you, there were so many people having a good time with their food and drinks.
Our dinner!
This is open for all, not only for guests. Read about Tambayan Gastrobar here.
The next day for our late lunch we tried their restaurant near the lobby. I love their cafe ambiance so chill and pretty.
Here's what we ordered for lunch: chicken and fish.
Even the placemat is so Pinoy! :)
What's special about our stay was we celebrated Cathryn's birthday there.
Birthday cake from Tambayan team! :)
Their special Halo-Halo is good for 3 - 4 persons!
Great to share with friends.
So big! Perfect to beat the heat this summer.
