Balai Balai Capsule Hotel Cebu, hotel in Cebu City

Located within 700 metres of Magellan's Cross and 600 metres of Fort San Pedro, Balai Balai Capsule Hotel Cebu provides rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Cebu City.

The hostel is still new. As I opened the door, it smelled really good inside. We loved the interior design, the theme which represents filipino culture. Loved the simplicity, the practicality, oh and the tiles! Beds were comfy, blanket was not too thin or thick. They had hot showers. Price was reasonably affordable. Had a good sleep!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Decent base from which to explore cebu. Needed somewhere cheap as we wouldn't be spending much time here and the hotel was exactly that. Hotel really kindly did us a packaged breakfast as we had a 3am pickup for a tour to Oslob. Hotel itself feels safe. Doorman to welcome you, nice lobby area and helpful staff.

Quiet at night, ac, hostel inside is modern. Great price.
