Prperty and staff are top notch. And this is close to some key sights. This is a poor area in a relatively poor city if you are from the west so you will see a lot of things you are not used to outside of the hostile. That being said, the locals were friendly and I never felt unsafe. Place can't be beat money or service wise. Highly recommend to young back packer on a buget.

Very clean, great customer service from karen ann
I am very happy with my 1 night stay. It is my first time to stay on a bedspacer and i felt uncomfortable at first because you sleep with other people you don’t know but in terms of cleanliness it is excellent. I commend karen ann for being attentive to my request and i am satisfied of her customer service.

A very clean and comfortable stay
The hostel was exceptionally clean, new, and modern which made it a very comfortable stay. I liked the curtains for privacy and each bed space had a lamp, outlet, and a small shelf. The bedrooms have AC but no AC in the common but they had fans and it was completely fine. WiFI is fast and works well in the room and the staff was really friendly and helpful. They also have a security guard at night so it felt really secure. For example, I ordered food in the evening and instructed the driver to come up in the notes. But the security guard came up to tell me that my food delivery was here instead of letting random people inside. Some improvements that the hostel could make to be exceptional: more information about the hostel's services (like laundry, food, check-out time, etc.) during the check-in or a board that lists everything they offer // things to do in Cebu. But whenever I asked for information, the staff was always really helpful with everything! I think it was one of the cleanest // comfortable hostels I've been in - so I'd def stay here again!

I booked for 2 people with 1 room, and they gave many people share room, me and fiancée didn’t stay in, we wanted refund back, they refused us, they didn’t give any refund back me. They did / do fault advertising websites. That is against consumers right, and business immoral

地點非常方便，距離市區景點大多都是散步可到；當地最大的購物中心(SM seaside)也只要10分鐘左右的車程。最難忘的是住處附近的按摩店都非常超值。宿霧的人們都好可愛，很樂天活潑，這是一趟難忘的城市旅程。

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The area where it is located feels very unsafe, at night there is no public lighting, the streets are dark, there are many homeless people. As for the hotel, it doesn't look the same as in the photos, the walls of the rooms are cracked, the bathroom is very ugly, at night you can not sleep because you can hear all the noise from the hallway, from the reception, you can hear everything! Also lots of light comes in through a window above the bedroom door. I couldn't rest on the trip. I would not stay here again. I don’t recommend.
