But the service is really basic, and if you want more amenities or a larger room, you might be better off looking at other accommodations in the area.

The hotel is brand new and super comfortable. The walking distance to Alona beach and McDonald’s area is only 12-15 minutes. Before entering the hotel area there are few local houses with chickens, roosters and dogs that might make noise, but the safety and comfort are guaranteed in the hotel. The receptionist and apparently the owner’s son is super helpful and friendly. We loved the bed and the AC there. The guy helped us with finding an early bird tricycle driver and even fetched a fresh pomelo from their garden. We definitely recommend this hotel, especially after staying at more expensive, but very tiny and smelly rooms in the same area. The room size made us feel soooo good and relaxing.

A nice hotel, literally a 5-minute crawl to the sea, and a minute to the main street. Yet, it's located on a quiet street. Just like in all hotels in the Philippines, you have to ask for towel changes or cleaning. Once we figured out this system, there were no issues; they did everything right away. The staff are excellent and friendly – always ready to help and advise. The downsides: there's absolutely nowhere to dry clothes. We had to hang everything on hangers in the shared patio. The upside: nothing ever gets stolen, so we felt comfortable leaving our belongings and heading out. In the bathroom, there are simply no hooks for towels. Overall, the hotel left a pleasant impression. As for drying racks and hooks, this is a common issue in almost all hotels in this price range.

Staff- accommodating and helpful Location - very accessible,,nearby restaurants, coffee shops, fastfood chains, noise outside is tolerable, 2-3 min walk to the beach Price - Lucky, I got the best deal using the app Room - spacious, secured with 2 bottled water, liquid soap, shampoo, hand soap, disposable toothbrush and toothpaste, bath towel, air-conditioning, water heater (opportunities: some stain in toilet door, shower head I need to fix it and some cobweb in closet) Internet access is decent I recommend this place and will definitely book again. Thank you

First of all, the service is perfect. They were very kind. I had to go to the port early in the morning, but they arranged a tuk-tuk for me. I was very grateful for that. The location is also close to Alona Beach, and if you take a motorbike taxi, it will cost about 50 pesos. You can also walk there, but it's a bit difficult at night, so I recommend taking a motorbike taxi. There is a very stylish cafe restaurant near the hotel, so please try it. There were quite a few ants in the room, but it didn't bother me. If you are concerned about them, please use another hotel. The water pressure in the shower is a little weak, but hot water comes out!

Staff were great. Hired a motorcycle from reception no hassles. Bit of a way to out but what’s 5-10 mins in a tuk tuk. Had to ask for room to be cleaned which seams to be common theme in Philippines. Had a bit of an ant problem in the room ..but that could have unwittingly been our own fault. Overall I would stay again good value for money.

If you are a diver, you shall stay here. And it’s just right at the dive point. However, with this price, they have ants issues, and they don’t clean everyday. You have to tell them to clean everyday to avoid ants. At least, hot shower and air conditioning works well. The toiletry is very very basic, best to bring your own shampoo and bath gel. Bring ear plugs if you have issues which chicken sounds in the morning. Dinner closes at 5pm, if you didn’t catch it, need to go far into the town to eat. Overall, I have a great time during my Xmas diving trip.
