The management MUST stop the visiting time policy. The hotel IS NOT A HOSPITAL or A PENETENIARY FACILTY.

Very close to the airport and a mall. Taxi to airport was less than p100. The mall has a jollibee and McDonald's. On the main road from bridge 2. The least expensive room was very small. It was clean, slow to no hot water. CR had TP which is a big plus. Friendly staff.

Low Standard Hotel with Dishonest Managment January 2024 I have traveled across the Globe for leisure, vacation, diving trips. I never felt so taken advantage of by an hotel management. I made my reservation with Expedia as a VIP. To begin, there is no hot water, the room was dirty, Wifi almost non existent. I choose the run down 2 stars hotel because of it's proximity to the Cebu International airport. To ruin my last 2 days of a wonderful vacation, the hotel policy has, a surcharge of 1500 pesos for any large stains on bed sheets. At the time of check in, the front desk clerk mentioned that there were stains on the bed sheets. When asked for the proof, the employee took 5 min to show me, 2 small blood stains smaller than a penny on the bed sheet. The day hotel rate in this low standard hotel is 1100 pesos per night. I was due to pay more than the daily rate of a room to wash a bed sheet. Is the Managment wishes to steal the money of hard working peoples, just do it, don't try to find a loophole to justify it. I will never come back to this low standard hotel with questionable and dishonest people. I love the Phillipines and its peoples but I am going to make sure that dishonest people are brought light.Happy 2024 year to anyone!

The hotel is in the middle of a busy shopping and dining area. The hotel itself was quiet. It is also close to the airport.

If you like hostel accommodation but with walls around your bed and a personal bathroom then its ok. The bed was rock hard and the shower had no hot water in the evenings and barely a dribble of pressure. Wifi almost never worked. Was genuinely quite terrible but the staff were as friendly as anywhere in the Philippines

Very close to Cebu Airport
The staff were very welcoming and friendly. That was a wonderful reception when we arrived at 1:30am after a long day of travel (and hours later than anticipated). The rooms are very basic but great value so close to the airport and with great food and beverage options nearby.

Location was the only good thing about this hotel. Management did not seem to have any effort to maintain the hotel. Dusty and smelly room, outlet wall have holes, light flickering seems like we're in a horror movie, bathroom mirror rusty and broken, beddings have stains, dirty exterior(outside of our room)Husband saw a cat-size rat just outside our room.

I picked this hotel because it has airport transfer but they did not specify that it’s an additional service and you need to pay for it. So i ended up paying for our airport transfer. The hotel could use some renovation.
