The Flying Fish Boutique Hostel Cebu

The room we got looked nothing like the photos. It was dark, poor lighting, a window that opened to a wall.||No hot water, or WiFi in the room. The attractive looking "pool" was dirty.||Even though we couldn't get any money back for our booked two nights, we relocated to a nearby hotel.||The street is quiet, lots of restaurants around, but the "boutique" hostel was our only bad experience after six in the country.

It was a nice hostel, very quiet. The rooms were air conditioned at all times, which was nice! Though the setup was odd. Bunk beds round the outside with a double bed in the middle. There weren't any lockers or safes in the room either. But I felt it fine to leave my stuff under the beds. There isn't a bar or anything there, but there are many restaurants and shops in the immediate area

The hostel has exceptionally friendly and accommodating staff, making the stay feel welcoming and comfortable. However, privacy for the bunk beds is limited, which might be a drawback for travelers seeking more personal space. Overall, it’s a great option for those prioritizing a warm atmosphere and affordability over privacy.

I had a good stay in this hostel. The room I got was like a DIY, semi-finished vibes, but has split-type AC and gave homy or provincial living vibes. The exterior and common area were good places to do remote work, and they're instagrammable! My only concern is just the parking coz the side pavement was quite elevated. Overall, I had a good and relaxing stay in this hostel.

Great place to stay and amazing staff!!! The pool is also nice and good location near a 7-eleven. My girlfriend got sick during our stay and had to go to the hospital. The staff provided us with a quieter room, a cold towel and ice bucket, and even brought her some cut up pears. Can’t thank the staff enough. There is also 24 hour reception and a guard on the street so safety in the area is taken care of.

This place is a gem! The service is top-notch, the decoration is wonderful, and the swimming pool is delightful. A warm thank you to the staff for helping us find a taxi and for contacting the ferry company to ensure we traveled safely.

This is may favourite place in Cebu. Usually I don’t write reviews but I came back for the third time and I always would! I‘ve tried out different rooms and I always had a nice experience. It is a very unique Boutique Hotel with beautiful interior aspects. You can find yummy Korean Restaurants just in walking distance, also my favourite coffee shop located at One Paseo. The stuff is extra friendly and every stay feels like home. Even though you are in the City, the quiet subdivision and all the plants give you a calming environment. Highly recommended!

The photos published on the website are unfortunately NOT the actual photos. I believe the photos of the rooms they put up on their website are from their Dumaguete branch. The place feels very rustic. If this is the kind of vibe you're looking for, this place is for you otherwise, don't book this place. Common areas felt dusty. It's creakier than I expected for a renovated ancestral home. Their pool looks inviting and artsy. Although, I'm just not sure you'd want to take a dip with people on the bar and counter facing towards you while working on their laptops.
