Casa Arrieta Hostel Reviews

The staff is accommodating. The place is clean. I will recommend this place.

Top-notch customer experience, which started via timely and responsive live chat via the guesthouse's FB site with the owner, who helped me book an Apo Island tour before my arrival. The room was super neat, clean with air con and large lockers. The location is good, close to the ferry terminal to bohol. The owner was very sweet and caring, with lots of recommendations for sight seeing and restaurants. She also welcomed me with a piece of sylvana :) I enjoyed chatting with her. If all other hostels were of similar quality and standard, backpackers' life abroad would have been more enjoyable. Keep up the great work, Casa Arrieta! I look forward to revisiting!

I must say i was pleasantly surprised when i arrived. I'm used to that whenever a hostel is cheap, its dirty and bad. Casa Arrieta is none of the above, its one of the best hostels ive visited so far. The beds for example are cleaned and made, then they seal them before you arrive so no dust can enter. In the rooms they have lockers big enough for me to store 2 big backpacks, they have both AC and fan. There is a hot shower which is most welcome. If you want breakfast you have to buy it yourself, but there is a fridge there for you to store groceries in. The staff is super friendly, i was sick and they offered to get me medication, food etc. The location is decent, a 20 minute walk and you're in the centre, if you pay around 60 peso you can go to Robinsons place mall. If you're going to Dumaguete, i recommend that you stay here, they help you with all information they can provide.

Casa Arrieta is a wonderful place, friendly people, very clean and spacy. It's perfectly located not far from the center and the pier and offers reliable and fast internet. Fully recommended
