      Check in time is 2pm, we arrived 6-7pm and our room is not yet fixed. They say its not avail or no avail room. We're the one who fixed the bed with 100php deposit for bed and pillow cover. A hostel with so many rules. Cant do this, cant do that but the hostel is so messy and smells cigar. Not value for your money! Pics also deceiving.

      surf-verse feel and very modest yet homey accommodation. I f yo do not have issues with common bath (kept very clean by the way) this place is cool. It has unpretentiously nice spaces to laze about. Dont expect breakfast, they only serve banana and peanut butter sandwich with coffee and Im defintiely fine with that. And really super affordable.
