Hostels in Central Visayas, Philippines

Happy Nest Hostel Cebu is a good place to stay if you’re looking for something affordable and comfortable. The hostel is clean, the beds are decent, and the common areas are well maintained. The staff are friendly and helpful, which makes the stay more pleasant. The location is convenient for getting around Cebu, and it’s suitable for solo travelers or backpackers. Overall, it’s a good value for money, and I would recommend it for travelers who want a simple, budget-friendly stay.

The place is quiet and the area is clean, but it lacks amenities such as personal towels. There is no privacy since there are no locks on the rooms and even in the CR. Additionally, the power outlet is loose, making it difficult to plug in and charge devices. However, I had a good sleep—the ventilation is very cool, and the bed is soft.

Perfect for solo travelers and layovers! This affordable dorm-style hostel is conveniently located along a main road in Lapu-Lapu City, just minutes from Mactan-Cebu International Airport. Rooms are clean and come with towels, shampoo, body wash, and hand soap. Shared shower and toilet areas are well-maintained. Reception is warm and welcoming, making check-in easy even at odd hours. There’s a spa and café on-site—great for relaxing—and plenty of nearby restaurants for food options. Ideal for a quick nap or overnight stay without spending much. Highly recommended for budget-conscious travelers!

The hotel location is great for 1 night stay if you have early flight, the room itself is smaller but can accommodate 3 person the only problem is it has a share bathroom and no hot water for a shower not ideal if you have very early flight and need shower unless you can handle a cold shower and in common bath, In my case I have to upgrade to private room that cost me additional 650 pesos in addition to my payment of 941 pesos but it has a hot shower and private bathroom, although I can get at the sane amount in a better and more comfortable hotel in the area. The staff us very helpful and accommodating they provide a microwave and kittle to make a hot water but you have to buy your own water. All in all it was ok.

I had conflicts with my hotel bookings and end-up staying at this hostel instead. I stayed at the men’s room good for 4. We were only three during the stay. One was a foreigner from London and the other one is a Pinoy from Tacloban who was in Bohol for the international fun run and who was a loud snorer. Oh life in a hostel. But overall, the stay is still good considering the cheap price.

The hotel is near the main road. The way to the mall to buy groceries is pretty long but there are many small businesses selling groceries nearby. The breakfast served in the morning but in the very early hours.

Staffs are all nice. The hotel room is almost bare, very minimal things inside the room, no ref but is ok for its affordable price. Place is ok and is few mins away from the busy place of Panglao

The facilities are good , we sleep well in a room 😊 The kuya in a hotel is very good communications , i will recommend this on our friends.. And our is located at rooftop so we see a lot of city lights and bridge .

Clean environment, scary looking streets during nighttime, didn’t provide soap for bathing

Aside from the airconditioning system not being enough for the double rooms, it was amazing. Everything was clean and up to standard. Loved our stay and definitely recommending it to everyone.
