Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Cleanliness. Be aware that a double room is short of space for 2 people, but will do the job right for a solo traveler. Don't hesitate to get in touch with the people at reception. They are very friendly and helpful if you need any tip. A TV with Netflix. Overall, It was nice having 2 relaxing, restful and comfortable nights for cheap in the course of a long trip... And this "hostel" does fulfill that duty very well Recommended!

    the worst of the mad monkeys I’ve stayed in but hey ho. Felt more like student dorms than hostel. We booked MM only because it was the cheapest in Cebu (based on our requirements). It’s bit far from restaurants etc so we ended up eating in the bar upstairs which wasnt great. Overall, I’d stay here again if I have no other choice
