If you plan to roam around the city, then it's the best place for you. Don't expect to much but for me, I've got what my money's worth.

location wise.

Thumbs Up!

We stayed here overnight while travelling back from Malapascua before heading to Dumaguete.  He had a private double room which was quite small but very comfortable and was fairly cheap.

The front desk staff were amazing, the check in process was quick and smooth.  We were trying to organise a bus or ferry for onward travel, he found all the information we needed online in minutes which saved us a lot of time and effort.  

There is a kitchen area, water refills and snacks available.  Linen and towels are included.  Although the city is not great it is only a short walk up the road for bars and lots of places to eat.

A nice Budget surprise in the city

Over all it was ok.. just that there is no sink in the bathroom for the private room with cr. The walls are all made of woods.

Nice location and service

Uh, well, after the first two days I couldn't wait for hotels.com to send me the "how was your stay" email so I could blast this place as a terrible experience. But, ultimately this place has enough good that you can overlook the bad.The good: the Wifi worked amazing. I've stayed in really nice hotels where the Wifi wasn't as good. The air conditioner was brand new and ice cold. Finally the staff was great. You pretty much have to engage them in conversation if you want something or have a question. But they pleasantly will fulfill your request.The bad: The toilet and shower are right next to each other meaning if someone pees on the floor it's going to run into your shower water. Yup, that's friggin' gross in any language. There was no plug in the room. Had to charge phone and tablet in the lobby. The worst part by far was the bathroom sink. Go to your sink right now and try to run the smallest stream of water you can. Now cut that in half and that's what you get here. If there was any less water coming out it would be off. In the end, I actually stayed for 10 nights and I was able to overlook the bad. Considering the price, it's not a bad option.

Ultimately a good stay

The picture in the advertisement was way different

A little hard to find but located quite nicely, the Jeepneys run just outside the door (12L takes you to Ayala Mall and 04C to Magellan's Cross etc). I got a nice pancake breakfast very cheap on the kiosk across the street and loaded some time on my Filipino Sim card. There is also a cheap laundry across the street by the intersection.Very nice people, the girl at the counter actually offered me a slice of her pizza that had just arrived while I was checking in! No air-conditioning though so the small rooms get quite hot with just the fan. The bunk bed felt like it would crash into pieces so I wouldn't risk climbing to the upper one. Older people can have trouble with the steep stairs.The roof terrace is acually not a roof terrace, but the tiny little space could be used for drying the laundry if you do it yourself.

Very basic

Stayed here for 1 night before our flight out the next day. Incredibly cheap - we went for the room with no window. Bit of a mistake as it was about 10 degrees hotter than anywhere else in the hostel.

Bathrooms and communal areas definitely need a clean - they were pretty filthy. And while I understand that the guy in reception has a tough job working through the night, the karaoke and hysterical laughing were not appreciated in the early hours.

Comfy cheap stay, but needs a clean

As almost a constant in Cebu and many parts of the Philippines, most of the hotels, which I don't know who gives them that title if are not even controlled, are real pigsties, smelly, with little or almost no concern for hygiene, located in sectors that are real dumps, smelly, noisy, full of mice, dogs, unhealthy and uncontrolled ambulatory food stalls and plagued by people who do not have much to do during the day apart from smoking and drinking early. The photos they publish denote a very good work by the photographer because once you get there, you find a very different reality. Well, this hostel is not the exception and ridiculously overpriced for what those are and what they give in return. Of course some hotels are an exception, but not many.

Good for people who don't care where they sleep

Booked a double bed fan room. What you get is a closet with a bunkbed in it. So small that you cannot stand beside the bed. No windows, so hot and uncomfortable. Also the fan is mounted on the wall and can only fan the upper bunk since it is that small.
It is worth paying a little bit more and get something acceptable. Been in the Philippines for over a year but this is the worst place ever!
