I spent here 3 nights, leaving and coming back, between the trips to Bohol and South Cebu. Two nights in the single room and one night in the dorm room. From the convenient and safe location, a few minutes walk from Colon street, to cleanliness, facilities and stuff (the girls there are amazing, super helpful) all was perfect and I don't even consider staying elsewhere if I'll be back to Cebu. The free laundry service, drinking water, hairdryer, were great to have. I totally recommend.

The hostel is inside a block, so it is very quiet. It is a new building, just started the business for a month. With aircon, refrigerator, microwave oven, TV, electric kettle, hot water in shower, comfortable bed, all cotton quilt, pillow and towel, made my stay an enjoy. The location is ideal. It is 850m to the south bus terminal, 1500m to ferry pier 1, 550m to the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino and Magellan’s Cross. Supermarket and central business streets are just one or two blocks away. The boss and staff are all very kind and helpful. With my experience in Philippines, though the room is not big, the price is the best value one can get, after stayed in Manila, Baquio, Banaue, Vigan and Tagbilaran. And also this is the only budget hotel to offer breakfast. By the way, I am the first guest to stay in the hostel through booking.com.

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
