Featuring a shared lounge, the 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a shared bathroom. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage space for guests.

1. Price - Very affordable compared to other hostels that I previously booked. 2. Capsule/Accommodation - I booked the smallest one but it is actually not small. It is big enough, you can even put your shopping bags and other things and can still sleep well and not worrying a tight space. The outlet is also near your head so you can charge your gadgets while using it. They also provide a towel, 2 soft pillows and a blanket. There's also a mirror inside the capsule! When you want to go out, they will also provide a lock and a key to ensure that no one can enter your capsule. 3. No curfew and and a personnel waiting inside if you arrive at dawn from party or other late events. Just also inform them that you will likely come back at dawn. There is a door bell outside so a personnel on duty can hear you even at 4 AM. Hehe 4. Shower and comfort room - They have 3 CRs with showers as I remember and its quite sufficient for your needs. Hot and cold. There's also a bidet. 5. Personnel - They are very accommodating so don't be shy to ask for their assistance. This is so far the best hostel that I booked. I will definitely come back for my next travels.

The staff were very nice. Great location. It was good value for money. Thank God they gave me a ground floor room because my luggage was too much for the stairs. Otherwise I would have left immediately. The experience taught me to be very careful to select hotels with working elevators. Their building has no elevator.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Decent base from which to explore cebu. Needed somewhere cheap as we wouldn't be spending much time here and the hotel was exactly that. Hotel really kindly did us a packaged breakfast as we had a 3am pickup for a tour to Oslob. Hotel itself feels safe. Doorman to welcome you, nice lobby area and helpful staff.

    Great location, in the middle of the city, a lot of shops near by, lovely roof terrace, free drinking water. They also offered us a free breakfast (not mentioned on the booking website) which was a lovely surprise - rice, sausage, egg and coffee. There is a kitchen that you can use. Quiet at night, ac, hostel inside is modern. Great price.

    Cleanliness. Be aware that a double room is short of space for 2 people, but will do the job right for a solo traveler. Don't hesitate to get in touch with the people at reception. They are very friendly and helpful if you need any tip. A TV with Netflix. Overall, It was nice having 2 relaxing, restful and comfortable nights for cheap in the course of a long trip... And this "hostel" does fulfill that duty very well Recommended!

    For being a big hostel with many people in and out all the time the space was incrediblely clean. Bathrooms were especially clean for being a high turnover hostel. Great location close to the pier for early morning ferry and coffee bar opened early enough for me to grab an ice coffee before my 7am trip. It was delicious.

    The host was really nice and provided us good service. It's really cheap so if you are on a budget this one is nice. Also there is a guard watching out who walks into the area where the place is located, so it's a safe place to stay.
