    AC was cold and made the room comfortable to stay in. Wifi was fast and stable. Staff were friendly. Overall, I would recommend for a 1- or 2-night stay. All you'd need for a backpacking trip.

    Regular cleaning of bathroom.

    First is the staff. Ms. Dolly was very helpful in my stay at Dumaguete. She’s very accommodating and shared some tips for me to enjoy my stay. The location is good as well. And very affordable staycation. The rooftop seems great though I didn’t had a chance to see it open but I stayed there to chill at night and watch Netflix.

    I loved the rooftop bar and spacious rooms. The staff was super friendly and they even let me use an empty suite to have a video call interview. The happy hour is a great deal and the location was about a 15 minute walk to the main boulevard and port.

    We had a very good but short stay at Antwet. We struggled to find the location because Google maps made us go on invisible road or by the university campus but that’s forbidden if you’re not a student.

    We had our best sleeping night of our trip. The beds are perfect with curtains and each bed has a fan. The staff is very kind, they let us drop our bag at 7 am even if the reception was closed.

    The pin in the map was not accurate. I didn't see the signs because it was late but good thing they responded via sms. A tricycle ride to this place should he about PhP 150 (2023)

    They have such a chill peaceful vibe. The rooftop has nice views of the mountains. It was a holiday and the bar was closed at the time but met fellow travellers and it was good. The room was fan only but it's comfortable enough. They have instant coffee, hot and cold water available for free. Oh and the towels are not included, I missed that part.

    Very accessible as it’s near the airport, sea port and Ceres Bus station. You can easily go around as it’s within the area. The place is clean and the receptionist is very helpful and considerate. Also, i love the rooftop bar where we usually stay for free coffee.

    Internet is not very reliable, but it was fine. I just used my mobile data.

    Bunk bed is comfortable and sturdy. Does not squeak a lot. Separate toilet and bath always kept clean. Airconditioning 24/7 in the room. The room is spacious as well, it did not feel cramped although 7 out of 8 beds were occupied. Staff are accommodating and easy to talk to. Rooftop bar’s a nice spot to hang-out and listen to music. Location is a bit of a walk from the main road, but quiet and safe.
