Owner and general manager Ileana Garcia, fourth generation heiress of the Roli’s Cafe fame in Bacolod, said that she really liked the concept of a hostel. Ileana has studied hotel and restaurant management and has had a short stint in the hotel industry in the United States.

Inspired from Travel

In her travels, Ileana appreciated the hostel style of accommodation where a “community” atmosphere was being encouraged. Because of this inspiration, we now have a world-class, well-appointed Bacolod hostel. It has comfortable accommodations, a homey feel, and competent staff. Plus, you have the trusted Bacolod restaurant Roli’s Cafe beside your living room (*happiness).
