    Everything! From the helpful staff to the guest house itself. The space is the same as advertised. Laundry service is free regardless of the weight. There's hot and cold shower. The location is ideal. It's near UV and USC so finding where to eat is easy. Transpo is easy as well. The room is airconditioned with curtain for privacy, towel, 2 pillows and comforter. Internet is fast as well

    I have nothing to complain.

    Everything! And also, the free laundry! They offer printing, mobile load top-up, cashing-in(e-wallets), they sell school/office suppies and etc... Thank you very much for the excellent service! I will definitely stay here again whenever I can.

    Sometimes there was hair everywhere on the floor. There is not a proper common area but since it’s only a few people you can almost always find an available seat at the print shop/reception. The location is a bit dodgy but it’s Cebu city so I guess it’s like that everywhere you go.

    Very small hostel with just one dorm with 6 beds. Water refill. Very nice and available staff.

    1. Safe and Secure – password-entry door locks for main door and room door. Designated lockers so you can place your stuff when you leave. I just left mine on the bed and there was no problem since my roommates were honest and just minded their own space. 2. Kind Staff – warm and accomodating staff. There was one night I went back at around 12 mn and they stayed up to open the main door for me. 3. Clean and Comfortable Room – soft matress with duvet, airconditioned room, roommates were also very quiet and respectful so I slept peacefully. 4. Near Malls and Restaurants – There's a carinderia beside the place, and just a 2 min walk to the nearest mall (Metro Colon) that has a Ribshack. There are also other restaurants that are just in walking distance. 5. Clean Bathroom – separate toilet and bath area, strong water pressure, with hot and cold shower 6. Free Stuff and Other Amenities – There's a print/xerox/copy station upon entry so it's really convenient for students like me who's in Cebu to process documents. They also have gcash/maya cash-in over-the-counter. Free laundry service, and folded clothes are returned every 10 pm. Free hot and cold water inside the room. Hair dryer and clothes iron inside the room for common use. During my last day there, they gave out free bath soap, laundry soap, and napkins for those who needed any.

    No common area to hang around, but that's fine if you just stay for 1-2 nights.

    The bed is so comfy! Staff is really friendly and helpful and the vanity and water dispenser in the room add a nice touch. Except for some street noises it is quite quiet and perfect if you need a place to rest.

    When I asked the staff about the tours they told me it was better to buy when I come and there is actually no place to book them so just make sure to book online before getting to the hostel. Bathroom doesn't have shampoo or soap so make sure to bring your own, AC only in the room.

    Location is pretty close to the Pier 1, I went walking, a lot of local places to eat and you get a towel. They provide a locker with a key which is very convenient. I was able to check in at noon and take a shower.

    Running water is unstable but still ok.

    Comfortable bed, clean room, good facilities, friendly staff, great location near shopping areas, markets, coffee shops, restaurants, in walking distance to many highlight places i.e. museums, ports, etc. and what's out of my expectation is free unlimited laundry service.

    Only problem was the water was running very weak so it made our shower difficult.

    We only stayed here one night but we already made plans to come back next time we pass through Puerto Princessa. The staff is so friendly and helpful, they helped us book transportation and connected us with other travelers who are doing similar tourist activities as us. The condo was spacious. It was so nice to have a bedroom for once, especially as a budget traveler. The restaurant has yummy pizzas, the pool is beautiful and the outside common area has a great vibe.

    The area outside the room can be improved liek a common area if you want to sit and not staying in your bed. The walls inside the bathroom can also be used for adding more areas to put your clothes.

    Great staff. Located near Super Metro mall. Free laundry is vey helpful and it saves me time. The area is near some food establishments, like Julies bakery, local Korean food stop, street foods, carinderias.

    Nothing much really.

    I like that this is actually a female dorm house with one 6 bedder dorm room on the second floor, and a double room at the ground level. As I was staying in this accoms with my male partner, we stayed at the ground level - you can see how safe and secure this would feel for a solo budget female traveller. They also provide free laundry service, and location is very ideal near Colon street, within walking distance to most attractions within Cebu City. The double room has Netflix for times when you don't feel like battling Cebu dust, noise and heat. Perfect, I should say, for budget travellers looking for somewhere convenient.

    No social area, but I wasn’t really going there to socialise just a quick stopover for a flight.

    Rooms were very clean and they had the most comfortable bedding. Aircon was a big + Free laundry!! Done within the day, what more can you ask for.

    Highly recommended! It's clean, comfortable, and safe, and the staff is very nice and helpful. It's very well organised. Curtains in the bed, light, sockets, and lockers are available just outside the room. Big room with plenty of storage for luggage.The bathroom is very clean and has hooks and shelf. Good aircon and good internet. Hot and cold drinkable water is available in the room. It has everything and more (hairdresser, iron, free laundry) what you can expect from a very good hostel. Excellent! I'm coming back to Cebu, and I've booked it again!

    Aircon was a bit noisy and Internet was not working super well. We stayed in a Deluxe Queen Studio and it did not have any outside view.

    Location and price are the best things of this place. Hotel is located close to the port where you get the ferry to Bohol and Siquijor and to the main attractions in Cebu. The price is very cheap. Room is very very simple, but clean. Staff is nice and helpful. Works well for a one night stay in Cebu, when you don't want to spend much.
