Reviewed Sep 3, 2026I liked that each pod had its own locking door, little ventilating fan, shelves, and charging ports. Very cute and cozy!
There was no place to hang out except in the pod. It’s a very small hostel. On booking, it said lower bunk, but both of us wound up with top bunks. Definitely not a social place to stay. Bathrooms were often busy.

Reviewed Aug 21, 2026Toto ubytování je ideální pro nenáročné cestovatele a pro ty, kteří v Cebu City plánují strávit jen pár dní. Na delší pobyt bych ho už příliš nedoporučil. V kapsli je skvělá klimatizace a v koupelně teče teplá voda.
Jedny dveře na WC nebyly funkční. Wi-Fi signál se do kapsle příliš nedostal, takže jsem musel používat vlastní filipínskou SIM kartu.

Reviewed Aug 15, 2026Ligt in de beurt van veel bezienswaardigheden en je krijgt per nacht die je er verblijft een gratis flesje water.
Super koud in de kamer en je moet bijbetalen voor een extra deken en de badkamer was niet super schoon. Tot slot zijn andere mensen heel luid ‘s ochtends vroeg.

Reviewed Aug 13, 2026The staff was very helpful and even helped my luggage to bring up to the dorm room and same with check out.
All traffic noise from the streets could be easily been heard all night and day. No elevator and the stairs is small. Unpleasant smell in the room with cheap chemicals cleaning has been used by housekeepers were later the room smells like a dead rats.

Reviewed Jul 20, 2026Super emplacement, proche de la station de bus du sud et du port. Nous y sommes resté à 3 reprises pendant notre voyage. Les douches disposent d’eau chaude et les lits sont confortables. Je recommande fortement !!

Нет принимают карты UnionPay, пришлось переехать в другой хостел. Хотел сходить оплатить в 7/11, но меня настойчиво попросили освободить хостел, плати или выселяйся. В итоге нашел хостел дешевле и еще лучше и уютнее. Если не принимают UnionPay, значет не нужны деньги.

Pedi dos camas que estuvieran juntas en habitacion compartida. Me dieron dos una en cada punta. Pedi una frazada de mas (solo te dan una sabanita) porque la habitación estaba helada y como era compartida no queria bajarlo y molestar a los demas. Primero me dijeron que no tenian, despues me dijeron que si pero que me tenian que cobrar. Las duchas estaban llenas de pelos. Los 3 baños no tienen papel higienico, solo hay uno afuera para compartir. Mate una cucaracha en el baño.
