I love our stay. The staff greeted us the moment we arrived. They were very accommodating and explain to us what facilities they have. They don't have their own kitchen but there's a restaurant right beside them. Our room is huge and clean. The WiFi service is very fast. It's very reliable for people like me who's working online. You can also request for extra table if you need one, just inform the staff. You can also refill your water bottles for free near the reception area.

The lobby’s interior makes you think it’s really well thought out. The shared dormitory was clean and cold. The location of the hostel is pretty accessible for other city roam you’re planning. The staff are all accommodating so you won’t have a bad time asking for help or anything.

Wished the lockers were fixed and more secured. The wifi in the dormitory room is sometimes spotty.

- Location (lots of restaurants and good coffee) + safe with a little checkpoint you have to pass through - industrial style, very nice architecture - spacious room - the towel provided is of good quality - very good price-service-ratio - friendly staff I spent 2 nights here

- wifi in the room was rather weak - personally I prefer the bath + toilet to be outside the room (noise) - the aircon in the room is insane. I had to sleep with a pullover.

If you just arrived in Cebu and don't really feel like another few hours on the road, This place is a perfect spot to just hang out for the evening. Very secure, very quiet and the staff was lovely. The wifi was quick and the bed in my private room was comfortable. Also close to a little food mall where you can get coffee and assorted typed of cuisine What more do you need?

Maybe the showers could have been a little better? But that's really digging deep.

Location was great. It was in a gated community with security by the front gate. Overall the hostel looked amazing, but having a reception with a “bar” in the middle could have been better used. Would have been nice with a proper coffee. Beds were good and all in all clean. Staff didn’t speak much English except the guy walking around renovating. Nice person

Having a bathroom and shower inside the room, without a door to close that area off made it smell musky and tbh like pee. All the time. Would be nice to be able to air that out.

amazing spot, for travellers in Cebu it makes you feel very safe, not far from north bus terminal and a easy 45min walk to the huge mall! The place is super clean and comfy.

We had the Deluxe room which was very spacy in very cool industrial design and AC. Personnel did speak excellent English, was very engaged and helped us with our onwards travel; the attached restaurant has a nice range and cosy design, though a bit pricy. Supermarkts and restaurants und walking distance. Payment through Booking.com possible; bathroom amenities available

Very far outside the city; I sent a couple of questions ahead through Booking.com, but never received an answer (when we were onsite, staff was very helpful); cancellation policy

It's a traditionally restored Filipino building with a plunge pool. The place has been sympathetically renovated and I love it! Gives you all the Lola vibes but with a modern take. There is an excellent Thai massage place just coming into the subdivision. Would recommend, excellent value.

Give the room a once over from mozzies. Could hear them all night. Not sure if all the decor is supposed to be so 'distressed'.
