    Room is poky, hard to fit two people and luggage, and shower pressure very weak.

    Cheap and cheerful, breakfast was good addition.

    Simple and clean. Good for a one night stop over near to the bus terminal (walking distance 15-20 mins). Rooms are small but clean and has everything you need for an overnight stay.

    The ‘double’ bed was unfortunately not a double and our feet hung over the end a little. The glass window to the cafeteria was a little annoying with light shining through in the night.

    Helpful staff and comfy bed to get your head down. Hot showers and space for bags although a smaller room. Offers a basic breakfast of egg, toast and fruit. Fridge for drinks and water available at all times!

    The room is very small for two people with luggage but it was fine for a night.

    Nice room with good AC, Wi-Fi and hot water shower. The room had everything we needed including kettle, fridge and microwave. Basic breakfast included in the price. Convenient location for the South Bus Terminal for onward journeys.

    We had a member of staff trying to get into the room at 8am, freaked us out a bit. Lady at reception apologised and said she thought it was a mistake but we were put off by this.

    Room was small but clean and had everything you need. Good location if you need a night somewhere between the port and the bus terminal. Breakfast was very basic.

    Not really “a vibe” for solo travelers. I did not meet anyone so it felt a bit lonely

    Very clean and not far from the pier to take the ferry to Bohol (less than 10 min with GRAB or 25 walking). Tony room and bathroom but okay for one person Nice to have the kettle and the microwave

    Rooms are very tiny, but pictures reflect that, so we knew. Ideal short stay.

    Location close to ferry. Easy to find. Price reasonable. Staff is very courteous, obliging & helpful. Room clean. Couldn't fault place.

    Can’t fault this hostel really. Room was small for 2 people which we knew when booking but it but it was perfect for 1 night! Wifi hit and miss but was decent enough for 1 night. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to the city!

    Great location, very friendly staff, simple but good breakfast, great air con, clean room, comfortable bed, and smart TV!

    The room was very small. Two people could not move around at the same time. It is okay for a short stay.

    The location was central. There are lots of shops and restaurants. Bed and pillows were very comfy.

    Nothing particular I could point out.

    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!

    I stayed here for one night in a private room, it was quite decent and good location near some night food markets. It is a quiet hostel. Rooms look as pictured and the air con is good. I think a reed diffuser/ air freshener would help as the ventilation is a bit poor in this city causing a musty air. But not a major issue. The staff is friendly and I enjoy my stay so thanks

    The room is very petite. Small but well appointed.

    It was very clean and the shower was good. They provide a small toiletry set and nice fluffy towels. There is also a microwave fridge and kettle in each room which was nice. The breakfast was good.
