We had the best experience at this hostel thanks to the staff. Everyone was so friendly and nice. Special thank you to Neil that helped us with all the activities, recommended us the best places to eat and things to do. He also helped us with the transport and any questions that we had. Judie and Allen were so nice and sweet as well , they cooked for us and also took care of us, making us feel like home. I can not imagine a better experience than this. We definitely recommend this place and we hope we can come back soon.

My original stay was so good that I had to come back. Amazing location. Falling asleep to the sound of waves. Wake up to a sunrise. Really tasty food. Amazing staff ready to support with all requests. Neil super attentive and helpful when arranging attractions and transportation during my stay. Jude super friendly and professional. Allan cooking amazing dishes. From fellow guest his Adobo chicken was best they had. Also shops and ATM close by.

Good hotel in an amazing location at the beach front. Close to the shops, cash point and local attractions. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The biggest asset is the staff especially Neil, Allen,Jude,Jacq super friendly and accommodating. Nothing is too much to ask. They will prepare food to your liking, help with everything and support arranging attractions or transport.

It was a very beautiful eloquent place to stay excellent location super friendly accommodating staff they were amazing .Only thing they could change was charging a bit more for the room stay to be able to have a complimentary continental breakfast .Didn’t want to pay for continental breakfasts when other hotels ,like Hotel Sebastian offered continental breakfast for about same price ,and I don’t know the frequency of room replenish had to ask for towels more soaps and ect.The room doesn’t need sheet change ,but at least beds made and refresh products replenished ,but we absolutely loved our stay thank you all

The property was probably just cleaned when we arrived as the floors and bathroom surfaces were all wet. Our first night there we got woken up with children running around the property and dogs barking and howling throughout the night. The actual property is really pretty though, there’s outdoor dining area under the lights and by the ocean side. They also had free parking!

Not as good as the 8.4 it was given
I don't want to be one of those reviewers who is picky and never satisfied. I do need to respond though. We chose this hotel because of its 8.4 out of 10 rating. I'm at a lose. It's really closer to a 6. While the room wasn't dirty, it did have roaches. Also a foul smell. The shower in directly over the toilet. What I'm saying is in a tiny bathroom there is a toilet, shower and sink with a floor drain. No separation between shower and toilet. Kind of gross. Who wants to go into a bathroom with a wet floor from having been showered in? The room was very small and there was a lot of noise from the other guest coming and going at all hours. We ended up leaving after the first night, forfeiting our payment, and going to ather hotel just up the street. It was worth it to us to be out the money than to stay there and have our trip ruined. I will say though, the staff was nice. Its not there fault the place is dumpy.

Fantastic 2 night stay - good amenities in the room (WiFi, cable TV, aircon, hot water), and the view of the ocean is spectacular. They did a great job of organising my whale watching tours, with the driver handling all the admin so it was stress free and making sure we were one of the first groups in the water. It was so awesome that I did it 2 mornings in a row! Highly recommend!

Great property. Wifi turned off for a bit at times and we lost power for a bit but no huge issue. Breakfast was good, laundry service available for a fee, smoking area, very clean. Rooms are tiny and no coffee maker, only two plugs by the door but the staff will help with absolutely anything- we got bowls and silverwear. They also helped us exchange money ( has to be crisp bills in the city and credit cards are not commonly used). Whale shark excursion handled by the hotel as well. Best place so far for us , we extended stay to 3 days.

Short walk to the city, street food and market as well as a Spanish style church. Wifi in room. We tried to exchange money in the city but they only take perfect and crisp bills and the staff at the hotel helped us. Absolutely fantastic.

Amazing sun rises.
The hotel has a seventies look to it and very nice inside extremely clean. We were greeted by Hector who was very knowledgeable of the tours in the area. He also showed very professional expertise and commitment to everyone during our stay. The food was well prepared and very prompt. The sun rises here are nothing short of spectacular. The best viewing time is between 4:45 sm and 6:15 am.

I had a tummy ache so I used the bathroom by the kitchen because we have not check in yet. And behold, bathroom beside the kitchen was so dirty! ants were everywhere on the sink. Pots and pans have water, rice with roaches.The soiled covers were also in that bathroom, I think that is where they wash the bedding. The place was by the seashore, so my children enjoyed it but have rocks and a bit dirty so, I did not let them swim on it. People seemed to be friendly and ready to help Close to the whale shark watching so that was a good thing. I will not come back on the place. Close

Amazing views, amazing staff!
We had a really nice experience staying here. Kind staff greeted us, Arthur helped us in every way possible, from booking tours, helping us with money exchange, walking us there and making sure it all went well, and helping us get to our next location, I also had a tooth issue and he asked a friend, who is a dentist to come over and take a look at it. The hotel has all you need, make sure you spend some time just looking at the view and cherishing the beauty that you are surrounded by. Make sure you go to Tumalog Falls and Hidden Falls. Best value for the money and best 2.5 star I've ever stayed at.

Nice hotel in Oslob close to everything
Basic hotel but perfect for Oslob. It has a central location close to the whale shark diving and Tumalog Falls. You can rent a moterbike from them. They can also arrange a boat to take you to Bohol right from Oslob. Clean room. Good hot water. Good wifi. Very friendly and helpful staff. Some rooms were under construction and there are rooster that will wake you up early but that's pretty much everywhere in the Philippines.

Thanks GT seaside!
100% would recommend staying here. No, it's not a fancy hotel with room service and a pool... but staying on the ocean makes up for it! We swam here at night to cool off but don't go too deep- there are sea urchins lurking in the grass. This place is clean! There's air conditioning, TV, private bathroom, and a shower for those who aren't used to tabo tabo. Free breakfast of coffee and longanisa was provided every morning. Arthur is a really nice guy, answered any questions we had about the local area and renting motorbikes. He even rescued us when our vespa got a flat tire!! The location is perfect. It's a 3 minute walk to the public market, bakeries, food shops. We ate barbecue here every night! Nearby there's also karaoke, church ruins, park on the ocean. We met our awesome tour guide, Rhex, when we got off the bus and he guided us to our hotel. The locals are friendly and kind, don't be scared to ask directions! The whale sharks are cool, but there are many hidden gems on this island. Highly recommend Mainit Springs, Aguinid falls, and especially cayoneering near badian. None of these were overly crowed or too touristy. One thing I do have to warn you about- DO NOT take a boat from Oslob to Bohol. Take the ferry. Longest 4 hours of my life battling seasickness on the violent ocean. The ferry is cheaper, bigger, and a smoother ride. Can't wait to come back to this beautiful island and stay here again.

Great place and affordable
My family of four had a great time here at GT seaside. Among the places we stayed from El Nido and Bohol, this is the best and cheapest that we stayed in. Besides the place being clean, Mr. Arthur is very accommodating. He provided whatever we request. Food is good but not a lot of choices. Thanks to Mr. Arthur for giving us a great time. There is wifi in our room but there is only a place with a strong connection, in first floor dining area. Sea view is also amazing.
