Balai Balai Capsule Hotel

I got bed bugs. Got bitten everywhere. Flee this hostel !

On a vraiment pas aimé passer la nuit là bas, des pâtes sèches sur les coins de lit et des morceaux d’ongles, cafards dans mon lit, ce n’est pas nettoyé autour des matelas, les joins de la douche sont pas nettoyés, on se sent pas bien dans cet hostel, tous les casiers pour mettre nos sac en sécurité était pris.. bref je recommande pas même pour une nuit on s’est pas senti safe dans le quartier non plus !

La capsule était suffisamment spacieuse. Toutefois plusieurs trous dans mes draps.. les douches sentaient fortement l'urine... l'espace commun n'est pas très accueillant. Très bien pour une nuit avant de prendre le ferry mais pas forcément le plus adapté si vous souhaitez rester plus longtemps à Cebu.

Von der Lage ist es nur gut, wenn man schnell zum Pier kommen muss. Ansonsten würde ich mich die Unterkunft wählen.

L'hostel fait l'affaire pour une nuit de passage mais sinon elle n'a rien de très accueillant et confortable.

One night for a stop over Before traveling is enough. Dirty showers and hairs on bed linen. Not really any facilities other than your bed which is very warm with an obnoxiously loud fan.

Gibt es eine gute Lage in Cebu? Generell ok für 1-2 Nächte

It’s worth noting that the location is slightly away from what shows on Google Maps, especially if you are getting there by taxi, and the entrance can be clearer. The capsules themselves were fine with everything you need and free water upon arrival. However, the cleanliness was concerning—the towel I got was filthy and full of black and yellow stains; the showers also had unpleasant and piss-like smells. It would also be great if there were a common area where you can meet other travellers.

Welcoming staff, clean enough, good location near the museum and fort, pods feel private, toilets and showers in good working order. Had an ant problem but i was moved so fine, although good for tourist attractions area isnt great, quiet hostel which i dont mind. Good to stay for a night.

Great location if you have a ferry leaving from Pier 1. The capsules are really small, apart from locking your capsule there is no lock/storage and space in the rooms is limited. Some capsules are in the hallway, rather than in a room. The airconditioning is the capsules makes a lot of noise, but turning it off makes it too hot. Didn’t talk to any of the other guests. Good place to stay for 1 night only, wouldn’t recommend for longer or any other purpose than being close to the ferry.

Pods were clean and well organised. Rooms airconned. The bathroom needed some love but worked fine for us. It was quite a quiet hostel so maybe not the most social. 7/11 and local diners close by. The hostel also takes card.

We loved staying here (so sad that we only stayed for a bit), for its price it’s definitely worth it. They provided free towels and water which was great and we didn’t have any problems sleeping at all. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a place to stay near the pier for a while.

Me alojé una sola noche pero fue una excelente experiencia. Las cápsulas son cómodas, el baño estaba impecable!! Pude dejar mis valijas para poder recorrer la ciudad. Recomendable!!

Good space and beds ! Sinks a litllte bit too small and water pressure little low but totally fine.

Good for a one night stay as very near the ferry port. Clean and pods are nice.

Great value for money

O bairro não é muito bom, porém se você ficar poucos dias acredito que seja vantajoso

Not a bad place to stay for a night by any means, but there is almost no common area so you won't have a place to hang out or chat with other people. The capsules are also pretty small. I just stayed for a night because it was near the ferry from Bohol.

Its okay for one night but I would not recommend more. Its about as good as Cebu City is. There is not much food offers around the Hotel but at least the staff helps you finding something to eat :)

This place feels like your staying at someone’s cozy home. They do family dinners and breakfast which is cute and nice. It’s close to the airport so it’s nice for an overnight stay. There’s only 2 restrooms which could be a log jam at times. All in all this is a solid option for a night in Manila.

Overall good for a night or 2. The bed was comfy, the staff were nice and pods were private. Showers and toilets spotless, also a good location for the ferry or bus terminals. Wifi was also good and there is a small sitting area if you dont want to be in the pod.

super quiet chill atmosphere, locks on the beds, restrooms were super clean and so were the rooms. A/C was awesome as well! They are very helpful and there was always someone at the desk. Quick walk to pier and 7/11. The area is okay but overall great hostel for a quick night! For a girl, I felt very safe! Would stay again!
