  Please check:
  a) www.hostelworld.com
  b) www.hostelbookers.com
  c) www.hostels.com
  
  i've tried these websites and my overall experience was okay..
  Of course, you'll get your money's worth.. Please read carefully the hostel's description/rules and the reviews from the previous guests..
  
  Thanks!!

  hostels don't allow kids..or anyone below 15 years old. kasi hostel rooms are either dorm type so 4 bed bunks or a private room but double or single bed lang. then shared toilet facilities usually separate naman girls/ boys. shared kitchen. shared dining and living area. coin operated na laundry.
  but most hostels or backpackers will not allow anyone below 15 years old. your best bet is to get a hotel or a studio type accommodation like quest but it is a bit on the pricey side talaga.
