Spinning Cat Hostel

Falsely advertises free pickup/drop off and management combative on everything. Staff play loud music and generally not very helpful. Cockroach in the room. Mouse in the kitchen. Place not cleaned once during our stay and evident from the bathroom this is the norm. Curtain doesn’t close fully and rail falls off. Breakfast is just oats no fresh produce. Beds comfortable, lockers a good size but generally hostel is misrepresented in advert. Doesn’t appear newly renovated. Would not stay again.

I had booked 3 nights, but left after the first one. The location of this hostel sucks, very secluded. Maybe it was because of holy week (a lot was closed), but we still needed to eat in the evening and the closest restaurant was 30 min away. We couldn’t rent a scooter when we arrived, we had to wait to 1pm the next day. The lock on our room was broken. Bathrooms and beds were okay. But overall, I didn’t feel very comfortable so I left after 1 night.

Stayed for 3 nights. It was good, the bathroom is not super clean and not even soap was provided. Besides that completely fine. The breakfast is basically toast with butter or oatmeal. Not social at all so don’t expect that.

Heureuse d’y avoir passé qu’une nuit !

l'accès à une cuisine et les dortoirs avec peu de personnes sont appréciés, néanmoins il y avait des coquerelles

très bon rapport qualité prix. cuisine fonctionnelle. personnel très serviable. cependant le logement est loin il vaut mieux avoir un scooter.

Hostel did the most important thing well: it had comfortable beds with good air conditioning. However, the bathroom was a bit grim and it was a good 20min moped ride to Panglao where all the nice beaches snorkelling and diving are. They had a big kitchen and free light breakfast which was just coffee and toast. It wasn’t somewhere you would want to spend all day but that’s fine because you’re in such a stunning place that you wouldn’t want to.

Very homely atmosphere - has a large kitchen and dining area. East to meet people.

Ok for a night or two… rooms were good but bathrooms had spider webs everywhere. Staff were very nice and helpful which made the stay more enjoyable. 0 atmosphere if travelling alone.

Really cozy vibes, the hosts are very kind and helpful! Definitely recommending this hostel :)

Great staff - I forgot to get my deposit back but they still PayPal me the money which was really nice. You get free breakfast which is good and the rooms and toilets are fine. It says it’s not a party hostel so we knew it wouldn’t be very social. Location is pretty good near the port but still somewhat far from other things. Good stay though.

A bit out of the way from the busy area but very ideal hostel to just relax and have a quiet few days, staff are very nice and can’t do enough for you.

decent pod style doorms

Location further from main parts of the town but nice to be on a quiet street. Easy to get around via tricycle. Bathroom was large and beds comfortable. Curtains on beds see-through and didn’t cover the gal. Hosts stated not a party hostel and noise to be kept to a minimum but themselves had friends round and talked loudly until 1am during our stay. Also blasted music and watched films without headphones at early hours! Oats in the morning fine but do not add the toppings!

Great hostel, would stay again and recommend to others. The staff and owners are very nice and very helpful with everything. Close to the port and bus terminal. Good bike rental also.
