Tweety is a wonderful host and what makes Antwet an ideal place to stay for a backpacker. She is extremely friendly and takes great pleasure in offering information to guests. Her tips to use Dumaguete as a base to travel to see South Cebu overnight (to avoid awful traffic when on Cebu Island) were extremely insightful and for this reason, as well as the great atmosphere in the hostel, I decided to extend my stay from 2 nights to a week! The Rooftop Bar provides a great atmosphere and it's very well kept - the whole hostel is super clean. Free coffee and cold water throughout the day is also a big plus! The terrace is a great place if you work remotely. You cannot beat Antwet for value of money!

I had a lovely stay here! All the staff go above and beyond and are so genuinely kind and helpful. The food was great and the rooms and facilities were super clean. The dorm was really affordable and the fan made it really comfortable. The diving was amazing, all the guides are great at spotting things and I had some super chill, fun dives. They went out of their way to show me a bunch of different sites. Definitely some of my favourite diving in the Philippines! All the equipment was well maintained and I felt super safe. Would return here if I come back to Dauin.

Very nice couple as hosts. They help you with everything. We paid 550 Pesos to take the first boat out at 5 a.m to go snorkeling with the whale sharks. Dorms and bathroom are clean. You can refill your water and there is a pool table.

All hostels in Dumaguete

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.

    I booked one night in the dorm and one night in a private en-suite. The dorm was very good, with lots of safe storage space under the bed, and more space at bed level to have my luggage. There was even a rack to hang a towel or fabric for some privacy. No issues with mosquitoes in the dorm, probably because it has AC and a fan. I loved the style of the hostel. Bed was very comfy. Breakfast in the cafe next door was very nice. Close to lots of nice restaurants. Staff was useful. Would love to stay there again.

    I liked the whole vibe and aesthetic of the hostel. I stayed in the bunk beds and it was okay. They put me in a 6 bed instead of the 10 bed because the AC in the room was broken. It may be better if there was a curtain for each bunk for privacy. There's a little storage, lamp and power socket for each bed. The restaurant is great! I didn't have the chance to try the food but I did try their coffee and pastry (which is 40% after 6PM) and it was really good! I highly recommend the restaurant for it.
