Istoria Hostel + Cafe

Welcome to Istoria Hostel + Café, where stories come alive from a perfect blended brew of a warm, cozy bed and a cup of hot espresso.

Tucked away in the scenic corner of Southern Cebu where you can enjoy adrenaline-filled activities like the sardines run in Panagsama Beach, the canyoneering trail in Badian, the mountain trek in Osmeña Peak, or if you just want to lounge around the white sand beach of Basdaku, Istoria Hostel + Café is the perfect place where relaxation and adventure come together.

Here at Istoria Hostel + Café, even when you’re traveling on a budget, you’re still comfortably accommodated with our shared living spaces using eco-friendly and sustainable materials that showcase the rustic island vibes. We offer sweet, little extras on your stay, so you can unwind and take it easy as you soak up the thrill of traveling. And there’s no better bliss than to discover other storytellers on your sojourn, for we are all bound by our innate need to connect and belong, ultimately making us storytellers than just mere travelers.

Beyond small talk, here in Istoria Hostel + Café, what we aspire to give you is the overall backpacking experience: making new friends, sharing ideas, discovering passions, and bringing stories alive. Like the German concept of kaffeeklatsch, which is a beautiful word that means “an informal gathering for cozy chatter over coffee,” we at Istoria Hostel + Café would like to connect people together from all walks of life for a cozy chat over our most vibrant brews in the comfort of our homely accommodations.

We would like to let each storyteller who walks through our doors not just share a story with another while they bond with co-travelers, but more importantly, they leave here inspired to share more stories as they carry on with their journey.
