Hostels in Central Visayas, Philippines

The cheapest hotel I could find. Stayed for 15 days. The rooms was on 4th floor nice and clean. I say rooms because halfway through our stay our air conditioning unit gave out so we were relocated(for free) to another room. The employees were all kind and willing to help with everything we needed. Location is nice. Almost next to Ayala mall and the general area is safe and easy to navigate/find transport in the form of either jeepney or bus. Decor is a bit gloomy and outdated. That beige on the walls is the only thing I disliked. It is by no means a 5 star hotel but it's a bargain for its price(15 euros a night) anyone would be stupid to pass. I recommend it to everyone who want to visit Cebu on a budget. We didn't taste their kitchen or visit the gym they have.

First I must say that my GF and I have stayed at about 10 hotels on Lapu-Lapu Island. All budget or mid-range priced. All in the last 6 months. The AOSMEC is the lowest priced of the group. All other hotels were 2 to 3 times the price of AOSMEC. The simple truth is that my one week stay at the AOSMEC was the best!!!. Yes it is a basic Hotel with no frills or a pool. But if that's what you are looking for? This hotel is simply perfect. PROS: WIFI speed is extremely good since every floor as it's own router. The hotel is extremely clean. It simply is irreproachable. You always see someone cleaning morning to night. Cable TV is very good with brand new TV'S This hotel is Familly owned by phillipino's and they make sure clients are happy. So any issue that might come up. Is dealt with very quickly and correctly. The room cleaning is upon request but just ask and it's done quickly and perfectly! The owners completely understand what a budget traveller needs and they don't overcharge. You can get anything you need on a ”a la carte” basis. Example: we got some laundry done. The price was about 15% higher then doing it ourselves at a laundramat self serve service. If you factor in tranportion cost to get to and from the laundromat. It's less expensive through the hotel. WOW! The clientele is a mix of locals and foreigners. And all are happy with the rooms and services received. The hotel is soo well managed that it is expanding. About 20 rooms are being added. AND THESE ROOMS ARE NICER! 5 Rooms are 95% completed. I visited one. Cons: the restaurant is basic. It's geared more torwards the local clientele. But there are many good restaurants within walking distance and this should not be a concern. There is also a convenience store right next to the hotel. Not even 30 seconds away. It is about 30 minutes away from the airport. Taxis are a bit more scarce but with the Grab app.(like Huber) that issue goes away. This place is the perfect budget hotel that actually beats out most mid range hotels at 3x the price. Dont hesitate and book. No worries here. Do not hesitate in.booking here. You won't regret

my friends and i had errands in cebu city and we needed to stay overnigt. i already had email interaction with the admin saying that there are 3 of us and we want win beds and an extra bed. When we checked in, they strongly suggested 2 bunk beds and i said NO to that. when i said NO, the receptionist looked irritated. She was impolite in conversation and i had to say ”good afternoon” first. She does not smile and rolls her eyes which i do not really like. anyway, the rest of the staff were really nice and accommodating. The housekeeping guys were kind and quick to help us with what we need and the lady in the kitchen wad nice. it still was a good experience. i just wish that receptionist will find ways to look at life a positive way and find joy so she can spread joy as well.

Everything is okay if you are looking for something that you can comfortably sleep esp if youbare just here for work. There’s an available canteen ang convenient store within the building. Only 1 thing that’s important for me that is not available, the water heater is not working.

Nice and clean . It’s a Prefect place for you if you love to go out at night to have fun and chill coz it’s near at mango square -bars and foodies 🍺

My two days of stay was truly peaceful. I could choose the same dormtel over and over when I am traveling to cebu. It’s customer friendly, convenient to the public vehicles, and complete with amenities. They also gave their own restobar to dine in and enjoy. They provide services for your ticket bookings for boat. Inside their premises, they have an ATM where you can withdraw money conveniently and no hassle. No wander many foreign travelers choose this hostel for their short and long term stay.

In 10 minutes by car from the airport, convenient if you have late arrival or early departure, resepschen is on the 3rd floor, staff is very nice, helps with any questions raised, the room was on the first floor, On the first floor there are several bathrooms combined with showers, room on 4 beds (2 two-storey), provide a towel, the only thing you need to mean, you need to have your toilet paper and soap, as in the toilet they are not available

The rooms are spacious, clean, the beds are of good quality and sleep comfortably. There is also a small sofa, the location is quiet and comfortable, the cement house is very good insulating and soundproofing, the air conditioning is cool, the yard is spacious, very suitable for vacation and leisure. Self-driving or renting a motorcycle in the town, it is very suitable to live here, go out to enjoy the bustling, come back to enjoy the tranquility. The staff is friendly and hospitable, like relatives.

I love this place. The rooms are very clean and cozy. We were very comfortable here during our stay because the atmosphere here is so relaxing. The color combinations of the rooms are just adorable. And the price is just right. The hand-painted murals are simply beautiful. It gives an ambiance of blissful serenity to the place. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating. Try their Chinese dimsum. You will definitely love it. I’m coming back here for sure.

First of all I would like to thank you for the smooth check in at otravel. As I requested for early check in it was very fast. . Employees are very professional and helpful.plus they have a free coffee Daily. If you are looking for a friendly budgetel ostavel is the perfect place to stay and relaxed.

I chose this hotel because it was close to Ocean Park, but to be honest, I was not that energetic when I arrived and could only do some groceries at the nearby shopping center. After that, I went to Ocean Park and other places later. Thank you for letting me stay at such a cheap price.

The hostel is located at a convenient location at downtown Cebu City (Osmena Boulevard) near the Independence Plaza. Easily walkable to the Basilica, Carbon Market, Fort San Pedro and National Museum of the Philippines - Cebu. The bed in dorm has good privacy - independent lighting, curtains and socket. Cleanliness in the dorm (air-conditioned) is good, but there are some flies in the non-air-conditioned area e.g. toilet, which is acceptable given the price.

I had a good stay in the inn but I prefer the other rooms that I used before. Overall though, the staff are helpful and friendly, the place is quiet as well so will definitely check in again soon.

The nearest one to Fuzhou Airport, the transfer is very timely, the boss sent the machine within 24 hours, we are more than 5 o'clock in the morning. Thank you, the boss, and the road is hard. There is a restaurant on the street. The hotel is clean and sanitary. The 11-year-old child lives with us.

When you go there, be sure to ride a taxi caused the place is around a private area and there is a lot of dogs in the neighborhood. Some of their gates are open and dogs did came out. Inside the place is quite, good for sleeping. The food is great and the servings are big. Roads are accessible going in and out though narrow. A good place to stay, before heading out to the South of Cebu or visiting Magellans cross, Sto. Niño, Colon Street (oldest street in the Philippines), Tops, Temple of Leah, Malls, etc. Highly recommended.

clean CR, good location near airport good service, approachable staff, affordable

We tried out this little place because of the location near the airport and Cebu port. The rooms were small, but comfortable, and most importantly, clean. We visited multiple islands and we were there mainly to sleep or to get more items to visit another location. During the times we were out for multiple days, we paid for storage instead of paying for the whole room. The owners were incredibly nice and super helpful. After explaining our plans to them, they recommended transport options and locations. Only downside for most people, is that there is a 10 pm curfew. If you’re looking for more of a nightlife, this one might not be the one for you.

From the moment you arrive, you find that it's not just no-frills, but really cutting corners, including in regard to safety. It's new and it's clean, but there's little else that's positive. All rooms are upstairs and there is no lift, so not the place for you if you have mobility issues. Zero wheelchair accessibility, which is a disgrace for a new hotel. There are no blankets or bed coverings of any type except for a sheet. There's no fridge, no kettle, no safe. The pillows are high and hard, very uncomfortable. The photo of a standard hive double shows a window and proper desk, but that's not necessarily what you'll get. I had an internal room with a tiny fold-out desk attached to the wall. That's ok for an overnight transit stay, so at least I'd get a good night's sleep, right? Not quite. The walls are so thin and the halls echo so well that even in an interior room I was woken at 2am by the sound of barking dogs outside and could hear other road noise too. Given how far I was from the road, that is amazingly bad. There's also a window of the worst possible kind. It's above the door and there's no way to cover it, so light comes in from the corridor, especially in the morning. Breakfast was sausage or fish with fried egg and rice, plus some juice drinks. That was the best part of the stay and it's still below average. The shuttle to the airport was fine. The disturbing part was the fire exits. One is via a flimsy wooden door held shut by a big nail. Behind it is a set of stairs covered in rubble with no hand rail. You'd expect most people who try to run down those stairs to fall. The other fire exit is through a sliding glass door with a curtain across it!

The host is a gentle and kind old couple. In the morning, they will prepare a hearty breakfast for guests, which is delicious and feels very warm. The owner is really kind and friendly. There are also comics drawn for them by Japanese tourists in the inn. They must be just like us. Feel their beauty and kindness! I wish the boss a healthy and happy family ❤️ Grandly recommend it to everyone!

This is a lot like a dorm. Basic rooms with bed, desk and tv. The phone didn't work. Ian said that a wire got cut accidentally and none of the rooms can use the phone. I couldn't get the TV to work. I couldn't get the shower to work. Took a cold standing bath the first night, splashing myself from the water spout in the tub. I did manage to get warm water the second night, and used one of the water glasses to pour water on my head. The bed was very comfortable, but the walls are thin so I could hear people talking, especially late at night. The breakfast was good, but cold. All the staff were nice, except the woman my first night. I had requested the airport shuttle (which was why I chose the hotel) for 11:30 pm when my flight arrived. I waited and waited. When I called the hotel, the woman said that the shuttle was broken. Ok, but I didn't get a message (and shouldn't there be a contingency plan?). She said to get a cab. I went to the queue and got one, almost half an hour after I arrived. Then when we got to the hotel, the driver said to 'just pay him what I want'. ***!? A man came out and took my bag up the stairs. I followed and entered the tiny lobby. The woman behind the desk immediately started making excuses about the shuttle, saying that I hadn't called, and that I had used the Booking.com website and I had actually reserved the room through Agoda. 1. I NEVER use Agoda. 2. Why would it matter which website I used? I told her that I had the emails confirming the shuttle. She said that she had sent the emails, but since she couldn't find my reservation, she didn't send the shuttle. (I had included my Booking.com reservation number in the email). Wow, 12:30 am and no 'Welcome', just an argumentative worker. The guy took me up to my room. I was getting ready to take a shower when I realized there were no towels, and I had no dial tone on the phone. I was getting dressed when the guy came back and gave me one towel. In the morning I went down to the front desk to ask about sightseeing. The woman was there and didn't say anything when I sat down in front of the desk. Another guest came and handed her their key. She spoke to them. She glanced at me briefly as she went back to doing something on the computer. I said Good morning. She replied and turned right back to the computer. I looked over to the guy who was standing nearby, with an incredulous look on my face. He said something to her and she finally seemed to realize that she had a customer. I told her that I wanted to sightsee. She asked what I wanted to do, I told her I didn't know what the choices were (this was a last minute trip). I asked if there was a place to to parasailing, since we were near the water. She Googled it and showed me the screen, asking which one I wanted. Well heck, I could Google and randomly pick a company! Another man had just come in and saw what was going on. He took over and asked me questions and made suggestions. He said he knew someone and

Delightful quiet very green locale. It's a delight to wake up to birdsong in the Phillipines where usually mornings belong to crowing roosters. Lapu lapu cottages are situated at the end of a cult de sac and is well treed and charmingly green, an oasis in the concrete jungle. Rooms are cosy and spacious, everything is spotless and the restaurant serves excellent food at very reasonable prices. Highly recommend the place to any discerning traveller.
