Place is okay. It has all the basic things you need. It has equipped kitchen. Staff, Fabian, was very helpful. He waited for me since my arrival at 1am. Gave me blanket, towel, and toiletries. The dorm room has comfortable bed but no privacy curtains. There’s electrical outlets each bedspace too. The ensuite toilet smells though. It would benefit frequent cleaning. Other than that, it’s really good value. You cant expect much for 220 pesos.

Showers barely work and the water coming out is not clear. The sinks in the room, bathroom, and kitchen do not have running water. and most the toilets do not have running water. Also, the windows in the bathrooms are where people stand or piss on the rooftop deck, so you might have comapny when you shower or use the toilet. overall, probably one of the worst hostels out of the 80 Ive stayed at around the world. Do not recommend unless you have to
