Military Veterans and Senior Citizens (Lolo and Lola), though count only as a very minor part of our growing number of guests, are a great source of our country’s pride and treasure. They’ve served our country and most especially our family well and that’s why it would be very fitting to honor them with this incentive, which is nothing new in our government system but appropriately well for a business like mine.
According to Section 4, articles a1 and 7 of Republic Act 9994 or the Expanded Senior Citizens Act, a 20% discount is given to any senior citizen who is defined to be above 60 years of age utilizing the services of hotels and/or any other similar establishments. That being so, Crossroads Hostel Manila is declaring the same honor and virtue to any lolo and lola of our country without distinction of nationality, creed, belief, and status.
As for military veterans as defined by the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO), Crossroads Hostel Manila is extending a 20% discount privilege and benefits to all and every honorably discharged members of our military service.
The best thing about applying this discount to our dear veterans and seniors is that you can put one discount on top of the other, hereby, providing a senior who is also a military veteran a 40% discount on our published and discounted rate.
This is our property’s way of saying, Thank you and thank you for all the sacrifices and hard work you’ve extended our families, our nation.

Helping OJT Students Find a Safe Place to Stay

We're your place to stay if you will take your OJT within EDSA-Shaw area, Mandaluyong

We’re your place to stay if you will take your OJT within EDSA-Shaw area, Mandaluyong


We finally gave two medical departments of a nearby hospital our proposal yesterday. Our plan is to help students from all over the Philippines find a safe and decent place to stay in Mandaluyong while going through basic “On the Job” training programs in that hospital.
It’s no joke to travel hundreds of kilometers to a place where you do not know any one, let alone your first time to be by yourself nor even know a place where you can sleep in comfort and in peace.
In that proposal we offered students PhP200/night instead of the PhP600/night walk in rate we offer, which is almost 70% discount. It is also the lowest compared to our lowest rate we offered in agoda.com, which is PhP330 or almost 40% lower than that already-discounted rate on their website.
To avail this rate, students just need to show the following:

  1. Original authorization letter from their school signed by their Dean
  2. Parents’ letter of authorization with their phone numbers
  3. Parents’ copies of IDs
  4. Students copies of IDs
  5. Payment + Deposit

The deposit is non-refundable and is not part of the payment. For the duration of their stay, students need to make a non-refundable fee equivalent to 25% of the total fee they’re paying. Example is if the student will stay in the hostel for 7 nights, charged with PhP200/night, the student will pay 25% of this rate, which will only be PhP350.00. The said deposit will be used as a maintenance fee to support our operations and maintenance. There is no group rate, regular hostel rules will be followed, and payments can be made via our BDO account.
The head nurses, in charge of student affairs, who accepted my proposals were delighted to know that there’s a place that is walking distance or one ride away from their health center, however, we were late in submitting the proposal because this OJT season is about to start.
It is important to know too that this offer is not exclusive to medical students. It is offered to all students doing OJT in Metro Manila. If you are a student or a parent looking for a place to stay in Metro Manila and will be doing an OJT nearby Shaw-EDSA area then we’re your best location.
We are Crossroads Hostel Manila and we’re a non-smoking, family-oriented hostel property located in the heart of this metropolis. For more information visit http://bit.ly/manilahostel to see more pictures and reviews of our past clients.
