Vandrarhem Red Carabao, Manila, Filippinerna
Looking for a place to rest after a long and arduous walk in the heat of Manila? Red Carabao is your place. Opened in July 2009, Manila's newest, modern, alternative hostel is located in a clean, safe & peaceful neighborhood outside the Main Gate of the historic Chinese Cemetery in Santa Cruz district of Manila, just north of Malate. Away from the 'sensuous' red light district, but within easy reach of everything Manila has to offer, it's the only hostel next to a metro station- your cheap, fast, green, and convenient way to reach essentially all of Metro Manila.
In addition to squeaky-clean bathrooms, fresh linens, free internet, a modern kitchen, and eco standards, Red Carabao is above all, every guest's home away from home. And it is a home on a mission, promoting everything Filipino and contributing 10% of all our proceeds to charities in Manila.
So if your goal isn't to explore shady bars, we're your honest-to-goodness best choice. Our rates, the free amenities, and the LRT will save you time, money, and even your Manila trip altogether from unwanted pain and regret. Read below about some of the advantages of our location. Not to mention, the crowd here is much, much cooler than, say, other hostels lacking a common lounge.
Whether backpacking or just taking a pit stop, Red Carabao is committed to help you have a safe, wonderful time in Manila. So see you soon, yeah?
===========================================================================================
OUR LOCATION.
===========================================================================================
Red Carabao was founded to provide an alternative accommodation for international backpackers who wish to witness and engage real, authentic culture, and have real fun while at it. Or looking to meet like-minded folks. It is never our aim to cater to everyone's motives for travel. That said, here are a few things that's special about Santa Cruz: One of the largest cockfight arenas is close by, so are bus stations for northern destinations. Quezon City is also the local hang-out spot, not crime-ridden, overpriced Malate. We don't enjoy proximity to high-glamor shopping centers like in Makati, but neither do most Filipinos.
