    Hidden down a side street near two universities, the area has nearby 24/7 establishments to keep one fed and watered. Across the road is Ninoy Aquino Freedom Park which fills with local students by evening who engage in various activities. This was one of the quieter locations we have stayed at, but it was also quaint to wake with the neighborhood roosters crowing each morning. For those who like walking, it's an easy stroll to Rizal Boulevard in the evening for a spot of sunset people watching before dinner. For a short or mid term stays Antwet is ideal.

    Nothing of note but we took a tricycle for the short ride to the port (we thought we were quoted 15 pesos per head but ended up paying 50 each, did we mishear? Inclined to think not 🤐 )

    The location is quiet and close enough to convenience food plus a 7 Eleven that one won't starve. Jollibee did well upon arrival and exit from Dumagete. Very close to Silliman and Negros Oriental Universities with a small interesting park across the road frequently used in the evening by folk practicing hip-hop, martial arts and other exercise. An easy walk to Rizal Boulevard for walkers, we spent a pleasant evening relaxing and watching the 'promenaders'.

    Only the bottom bunks had curtains which would be annoying if you were on the top bunk. Not a super social hostel and not super helpful for tours (they have some private car options out into the countryside to see the twin lakes, etc but not much else)

    Nice location in Dumaguete, close to the central shopping streets/malls and a 15 min walk from the port. Staff were friendly, rooftop bar is awesome (food is good too), the beds were comfy and the wifi worked well.

    I like the location. It was at the heart of the city and the establishment holds a sentimental value. The rooftop bar was the place where we used to make our little celebrations as college students. So, it was refreshing when I stayed there as a guest in their inn. At first, I thought it would be uncomfortable because it was my first time getting into mixed dorm rooms. But other guests just minded their own businesses. The staff is also great. I'd definitely recommend it for travellers who seek a comfortable room to sleep in for a night or two.

    Nothing, I throughly enjoyed my time at Antwet’s in Dumaguete.

    It was in a super convenient location in the centre of Dumaguete, right opposite Victory Park. This allowed for easy access to both ports, and the Central Markets. All of the staff were incredibly kind, and the balcony, offering stunning views of the surrounding area with free drinking water and coffee was a bonus.

    I was there off season, so the single shower and single toilet/sink combo was enough, but it might be a struggle with 8 people. I would have loved a little of a kitchen... Cutlery, plates, bowls, maybe a microwave...

    It's off the main road, so it's really quiet. The bar was closed while I was there, but the rooftop view of the college's trees is lovely. They don't have food, but there's a cute little restaurant just down the driveway. It's right off the main road, so it's really easy to pick up a Jeepney or tricycle. The ladies running the place are lovely.
