Eia by Dawata

Women consistently mention Eia feeling designed with them in mind, from the decor to the communal spaces. The common areas make it easy to meet other solo travellers. The Mactan location suits beach access but puts the city centre at a distance.

• The hostel feels deliberately designed with female travellers in mind, from the decor choices to the layout of communal spaces.
• Located in Banilad's El Dorado Subdivision, a residential area that requires transport to reach central Cebu attractions and beaches.
• Industrial-style hostel with outdoor pool and restaurant on-site.
• Common areas designed to facilitate meeting other solo travellers, with spaces that encourage interaction.
• WiFi quality becomes unreliable during peak hours. Lockers available but guests need to bring their own padlock.
