“This hostel strikes me as a practical base for exploring Cebu, offering clean, air-conditioned dorms with individual reading lights and convenient outlets; the proximity to laundry services and the ferry terminal is a definite advantage. Though the surrounding area might seem a bit rough around the edges, the affordability and helpful staff make it a viable option.
