The 42 best hostels in Cebu City

Its ok. Nothing fancy. ✅ Clean ✅ Quiet ✅ Safe All capsuled have lock. Aircon, double matters. Mixed gender dorms. Showers and toilets are EXTREMELY CLEAN ✨. Little restawran Next door is delicious and cheap. 5 minutes walk from local market and small food court. 15 minutes walk and you are in the old city. Lots of Very cheap shopping. Electronics, clothes,... And lots pretty Filipino university student eye candy. 😁.

I recently stayed at Shejoje Poshtel Hostel in Cebu City and found it to be a well-positioned, solid choice for travellers on a budget. Key observations: ✅ What stood out Great location: It’s on D. Jakosalem Street, in the Ramos/Cogon Ramos area, within walking distance of several local attractions. Free WiFi and 24-hour reception: Convenience features which were appreciated. Friendly and helpful staff: Several guest reviews highlight good service and responsiveness. ⚠️ Areas for improvement Shared bathrooms: The bathrooms are communal rather than en-suite, which is fine for a hostel but worth noting if you prefer private. Some budget-level fittings: While comfortable, expect basic finishes and amenities consistent with a hostel rather than full-hotel luxury. One review mentioned “the bathrooms are improvable.”

Great place to stay if you just want to have a place to stay overnight. Capsules are clean and they have dedicated plugs. Wifi is also great.

Clean and comfortable. Was actually quiet until another client from a different capsule started playing music with their phone. Went on for longer than 10 mins; music was still there when I left. Told the keepers about it as I was leaving, but they insisted there was nothing.

As a budgetarian, place is good. Environment is very much good. Cleanliness ☑️☑️☑️

Super small place. Luggages are scattered everywhere, every 2 capsules share one ladder. The bathrooms/showers are super tiny. If you are 1.73+m high, most probably the capsules are not going to fit you, or you might not be able to close your door. All in all it's a clean place with strong AC and fan in the capsules. Location is good. Wifi quite weak.

Very convenient location. Nice atmosphere. The staff are super friendly. I spent a couple of nights here. Alvin and Eve were cordial. I forgot my sunglasses when I departed for Bohol. On my return almost a week later, they had kept it aside for me. Will visit again when in Cebu City.

Tidy place BUT the noise and light coming from the kitchen area is so loud if you’re on the ground floor in ‘There premium rooms’ at least shut the kitchen at like 10.30pm not 12pm it Undermines the whole place. 3 months travel all through Asia and never heard anything like it. Also can you turn the hallway lights off way to bright. You should build a wall between the kitchen and bedrooms in the hallway easy fix.

I stayed here for 12 days, and sadly, my experience was far from pleasant. Here are the key issues that made my stay uncomfortable and frustrating: 1. No Water Early in the Morning On my second day, I woke up at 7 AM to get ready for my 8 AM class, only to find there was no water at all—not even enough to brush my teeth. There was no warning, no announcement. For someone on a tight schedule, this was extremely inconvenient and disappointing. 2. My Belongings Were Moved Without My Permission When I returned later that day, I discovered my things had been moved from Room 1 to Room 5 without my knowledge or consent. When I asked the staff, they said the room needed to be cleaned. I’ve worked in hospitality, and I know that moving a guest’s belongings without permission is a serious breach of trust. What made it worse was that no one even helped me move. I had just come from training, exhausted and running a fever, yet I had to carry all my things alone. I messaged the Airbnb host to report it—only to be completely ignored. No apology, no explanation. Just *seen-zoned*. 3. Miscommunication About Room Availability I was supposed to check out on May 2 at 12 noon, but on the night of May 1, I asked the receptionist if I could extend. She checked the system and confirmed that I could. So I didn’t check out the next day. But by 1 PM on May 2, I received a message saying there were no beds available for female guests. That kind of last-minute notice is unacceptable. Had I been informed earlier, I would have checked out and saved myself the stress. 4. Unwelcoming Staff The staff was cold and unapproachable. No smiles, no greetings—just blank stares. It made the atmosphere feel uncomfortable, especially for a solo traveler like me. It felt like I wasn’t even welcome there. 5. Poor Facilities The WiFi was slow and unreliable, and the air-conditioning didn’t work properly. For a hostel that markets itself as comfortable and convenient, these basic amenities should be a priority. To top it off, after all the issues I raised, I was still charged ₱200 for a late checkout —even though the mix-up was entirely on their end. "Wala diay ka na inform?" was all they said. Clearly, I wasn't informed. Kung ni-ingon pa daan ang front desk atong nangutana ko if pwede ko mo-extend nga wa nay available bed, wa untay problema. FUNNY KAAYO MO SA. While the hostel has a good location, that doesn’t make up for the poor service, unprofessional handling of guest concerns, and lack of basic courtesy. If you’re going to run a hospitality business, you should know how to take care of your guests. If not, why run one at all?

Very unprofessional experience. I contacted the hostel to confirm availability, and they assured me the room was available. Almost 1 hr before ma check in, they took the listing down and claimed the room was already taken. If the room was unavailable, they should not have confirmed it in the first place. This shows a lack of proper management and reliability. I wouldn’t recommend this hostel if you’re looking for a place you can actually count on.

If you're looking for an affordable and clean place to stay while exploring Cebu, Happynest Hostel is a great choice. The rooms are simple but well-maintained, perfect for a short stay—especially if you just need a comfortable spot to sleep or store your things while you're out and about. It's ideal for budget travelers who want a convenient and no-fuss accommodation in the city.

In our first stay in 2024 it is highly recommended, but when we returned a year after the room was disgusting. First, the lock of the door was broken, Second, the bed was noisy (you know what I mean) and Third, the previous guests left a food in the drawer and the hotel staff didn't clean thoroughly. The room was smelly.

The receptionist burped at us when we came in. They were men staring at us (as women) everywhere, in the room and in the hallway. It seemed like there were people living there permanently, we also had a lot of kids in the dorm room, who had their phone sounds on all night, let their alarm ring, turned the light on at 4 and screamed at each other. And they were also staring at us the whole time. The showers smelled like pee very badly and there was mold on the wall. Only the WiFi is good for writing angry reviews in the middle of the night because you can't sleep.

Stay away from this place!! The room had a strong smell of bleach, the sheets were covered in mold. Don’t waste your money here.

Three weeks ago, after our flights were canceled, we had to spend a night in Cebu City. Even though some time has passed, we still wanted to leave a review. We found this hostel while at the airport, contacted them via WhatsApp, and not only did they respond quickly, but we were also able to book a room without any issues. Everything turned out even better than expected! The service was excellent—everyone was so kind and helpful. The room had everything we needed, including a private bathroom, and it was clean and smelled great. The next morning, before continuing our journey, we got to enjoy the included breakfast. In the end, we had a comfortable night’s rest and even managed to explore the city’s main attractions.

Location is convenient for transport to the bus and is near food and a mall. Very local. However the room is like a shoebox. Almost impossible to navigate with any baggage 🧳. In addition, the water doesnt have strong pressure or heat. Breakfast was alright. The aircon is super loud. Disappointed for the cost.

By the name itself, this is for backpackers only. They have 4 floors and don’t have elevator going up, so if you have a large luggage with you, you’ll have a hard time carrying it upto your room and they won’t even help you carry your things. The pantry and the lobby is very hot they don’t have AC or even a fan considering that it is a summer!

The rooms were not as big (as this hostel is catered towards backpackers) but still enough to accommodate my things. Hotel staff are patient and chill. The location is at the heart of cebu city. Very near the usual go-to places. The aircon was VERY cold probably because of the small room size, i love it!

Not for those who prefer spacious rooms. You are paying for what you get. There is no elevator so not ideal for those who have luggage. Amenities nearby offset size of the room.

solo rooms in extension area... PROS: 1) comfy bed & aircon 2) affordable solo rooms (Php 600) and it comes with breakfast 3) convenient location. it is near tourist spots, pasalubong centers, and malls. 4) staff is accommodating CONS: 1) really small room 2) (shared) bathroom is also small—basically a bathroom with added shower head. wish there was more shower hooks though if area is really small. 3) ACs from the rooms are exhausted in the hallway, so it gets reallyyyy hot. might also pose as safety hazard because of all the heat getting accumulated in such small area. it gets so hot to the point that you can feel it on the door knob & on the walls inside the room. FOR IMPROVEMENT: maybe convert the bed to solo ones for more space. and please add mirrors inside the rooms. and more ventilation in the hallway. OVERALL, if you're just looking for a cheap place to sleep at night, this is an okay place. but dont expect too much.

I liked the room—it was comfortable and smells clean. However, the bathroom could use some renovations and a deep cleaning, especially the shower, as the head was clogged with limescale (sarro) and didn’t provide good water flow. The location is convenient, with plenty of things to do nearby and lots of places to eat. You’ll find everything you need close by, and the internet was great. However, it’s also the highest security deposit I’ve paid in the Philippines, and they have a long list of rules with extra charges if there are any stains or damaged equipment when you leave. That’s fine, except the bed sheets already had stains when we arrived (we took pictures at check-in so they wouldn’t charge us!), and the shower didn’t work properly from the start due to the limescale. You get charged if you stain something but don’t get a discount if they give you a stained sheet or towel 😂😂 What really disappointed us was the early check-in policy. We arrived early, and while the room was ready, they wanted to charge an extra 100 pesos per hour to access it! I understand this is a budget hostel, but that policy made the experience feel cheap and tacky, more like a motel. If the room isn’t ready, I have no problem waiting until the official check-in time. But charging extra for a room that’s already available? That’s not great hospitality. Honestly, it feels like hospitality isn’t the business they should be in. Keep that in mind if you book here—it’s more of a motel than a hostel with policies like this.

Stayed here for a few nights whilst in Cebu. It’s is a nice clean place located at the end of a night market. It can be a little off putting getting to it because if you arrive at night cars cannot get down there so you’ll have to walk to it which is about 2 mins from the other end of the street. The room was clean and the bed was big. Only downside to the bed was the one pillow and your head sinks quite a bit. No major gripe though. We had a tv in the room though which is good but we never used it. The provide soap, toothbrush and paste which is handy. There is free breakfast too that you’ll have to fill out your choices each day but the options are a bit of a mismatch. You get a free 15min massage based on how many days you’re there. We were there for two so we had a 30min free massage each. Definitely a good place to stay if you’re in a budget. The WiFi is good but resets each day but just head down to reception and they’ll provide a new code for you to use.

This hotel is right in the local market where is extremely busy and noisy. But it is very close to the port to go to Leyte and Bohol. But be careful with the tricycle drivers around here, at first we made the deal with them P50 for 2 pax to take us to the port but when we arrived he asked P100!! The room is big enough but the doorstop on the ground is very dangerous, it is not the right place to put it. We hit it at least 3 times in a day! I forgot my tank shirt in this hotel. At the beginning, I was not sure where I forgot, that is why I contacted to them to ask and after days checking and calling, finally they confirmed that my tank shirt was forgot in their hotel. We were in Bohol and I asked them send it to my hotel in Bohol, they said yes but my tank shirt was never arrived although we stayed in Bohol 6 nights. I am wondering after we checked out, their housekeeper came to clean the room and found my tank shirt in the bathroom, they must informed the receptionists about it, just in case if the guest comes back to get it. But it seemed I texted and called to different people and they did not handover between shifts. It took so much my time and the result is zero!! Normally if the guest forgot something in any accommodation, the staffs always try to give it back to you but this place is opposite, even the guest asked them send it back but they preferred to keep it. Really disappointed!! Definitely we will never come back this place.

CarbonIt is located in a large local market, the dormitory was clean, the air conditioning and personal belongings storage were great, but the water pressure was low hahaha. The people are very friendly ^^ Breakfast is free, coffee is free, and there are many tourist attractions nearby.

Free breakfrast and 15 mins back massage. Hospitable staff. Though the area is smelly at the carbon market. Transportation is somehwat difficult. There is no pail and dipper at comfort room

I really have good experience and stayed for two nights ! Clean and spacious room With breakfast it’s fulfilling ! Location very good

Needed a short stay before a red eye flight. It's dirt cheap for a clean room, basic amenities, good AC, walking distance to Carbon market. Room I got was redesigned, but bed was tiny, toilet stank no matter how many times I flushed, water from shower was barely warm. Would give room rating a 5 if these weren't issues. Staff was helpful, though not that attentive. It's situated above a lot of street stalls so that may bring in certain odors depending on where your room is. They have hourly rates as well.

Bad experience. Personal was friendly and we got netflix which was nice. The rest was awful. We stayed for 6 nights. In 3 mornings we didn’t get our breakfast delivered. 2 times they delivered something else, not what we ordered. 1 time my girlfriend even got some aluminium leftovers in her sandwich. 1 time our breakfast was cold. Many bugs in our room. Window was broken. Would definetly not come again.

Staff is very friendly and helpful if you have questions or are looking for recommendations about the surrounding area. They also have tours you can book and other hostel events! When I was there over a week ago it wasn’t super busy so the rooftop bar was fairly dead at night. It picked up later into the evening though. Simple accommodations for dorms. Large lockers to store your luggage and two sinks in the room, one in the bathroom and one outside with hairdryer. Bunk beds have curtains and there is AC in the room.

I had a really good stay at this hostel. What I liked most about this hostel was the super friendly and accommodating staff. They were really helpful with information about what to see and do in and around Cebu which was great because it was my first time in Philippines. The dorm was nice and spacious. Only thing I'd recommend is for there to be extra toilets and showers outside of the room because just one shower/toilet for eight people is not enough. The bar was a nice vibe because there was always a mix of locals and travelers which was cool. I'd totally stay here again.

We had a great experience at this hostel. The staff here were so helpful and helped us to plan our trip and transport after leaving Cebu. The vibe was great and the pool and bar at the top was a nice touch. The hostel was great for social events and had different activities going on each night. Overall a really good experience that I would recommend in when in Cebu. Great value for money also. Christine and Dan were amazing and helped us more than we could ever imagine.

Look… I’m not really sure why anyone travels to Cebu other than a connecting flight but this hostel was an experience I haven’t had in a really long time. I want to start by saying we are a couple who’s travelled lots and this has been the worst mad monkey hostel we’ve stayed in. Most mad monkeys are located in a fun and somewhat safe area. This location is not. We did not feel safe one bit and we’re advised to be careful when walking on the streets. We stayed here because we were going to go to Moalboal on a tour but honestly after talking to people about it, it was not worth it. We checked into a private room at 9pm and the room was shaking and so loud from the bar 3 floors up! I understand this is a party hostel but you should at least be able to escape the noise by going to your room but it felt as you were sleeping in the bar. Don’t be miss leaded as they do have a pool but it gets no sunlight what so ever so you can’t even hang out during the day. We were quite taken back because nothing lead us to it being this bad other than a few reviews that it was a party hostel. We left after one night even though we booked three because hotels weren’t that much more expensive and you get a pool outside at least. Unfortunately they wouldn’t refund us. So to sum it up, staff were nice, room was clean, CRAZY party hostel that you can’t escape, stay here if you want to party and get blackout every night and only stay a night if you have to.

Definitely a 10/10! The rooftop bar is really fun and amazing! The food and drinks are worth the price. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. I really had fun with their Neon Party and will definitely come back here and will surely recommend it to my friends and family. Shoutout to Georgina for being a great host and always entertaining me, she didn't let me feel lonely. I was really having fun

Pretty good hostel, value for money. We went on Tuesday and they had karaoke, if u sing u get free drinks so keep on singing! The rooms were the perfect temperature. There are 5 floors and no elevator so wouldn't recommend for the impaired. There's 1 bathroom for a room of 8 so u might have to coordinate, but lucky for us it was only 4 in our room of 8 beds. Not a quiet place as their quiet time starts at 1am.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Mad Monkey Hostel! The food here is fantastic, especially the burger which tasted delicious. There was a wide variety of dishes to choose from, and the quality was really good. However, I must say that the fries served with the burger were not very good. They were a bit soggy and could have been crispier. Apart from that, the food was excellent. The fun parties, especially the karaoke night, made my stay even more enjoyable. There was a great atmosphere. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and I had a good night’s sleep every night. It is recommended to use earplugs while sleeping, as it can sometimes be a bit noisy. Luckily, you can get these for free at the reception. The staff and other guests were very friendly and helpful. It was really easy to meet new people here. Overall, I highly recommend Mad Monkey Hostel!

Do not book! Worse experience I've ever had in a hotel. The first thing I saw when I went there are stray cats everywhere. In the bed and on the walls adjacent to the bed multiple red ants additionally spiders. They showed me 3 rooms and the 3 rooms were infested and one of them had geekos inside. I left and they refused the refund stating that they can't refund anyone that book directly with them.

hopefully, they'll upgrade their internet here. wifi has a really SLOW connection. a lot of ppl here badly need it. don't like when staff knock on doors sometimes when your busy or asleep, annoys me the most.

Nestled within the Banilad Area, it is close to Banilad Town Center and Country Mall. It is very safe and secure as entrance to the building needs the key card of the room where you are staying. The room has enough space and has enough facilities. It has water heater, if you need to switch between hot and cold water. The building itself has its own canteen, laundry shop, and convenience store. It seems to be housing in students from schools within the area: University of Cebu Banilad and University of Visayas Gullas College of Medicine. There are a lot of Indian students. Since it very near and walking distance between malls and buildings, food and leisure are never an issue. It might be confused with the Alicia Apartelle Residences, which is within the same compound.

My home whenever I'm in Cebu! Perfect for working, the space is just right, the bed’s comfy, and they have a gym and pool (available for an additional fee). It’s more than good enough for me!

Really a wonderful place. Comfy beds and nice showers with shampoo and soap. Good AC. Wifi gets w little weak when everyone is coming home from work. Nice communal areas with a gym, mini restaurant, mini shop, laundromat, pool and ping pong. Very nice staff that come daily to clean and replenish toilet paper, towels etc.

I like it! The room - has enough space, the AC is working fine, the toilet is clean, and there are hangers! I counted, there were 8 hangers and that is just great! The service and the staff - they're excellent, they can speak English and Tagalog fluently so they can adjust to customers from all over the country and even abroad. They also offer ways to make the fees more affordable for customers. The location - ideal! It's near malls, boutiques, restaurants and ATMs! A few meters walk and you can enjoy working out at a boxing gym! Or maybe enjoy a nice pizza!

This is one of my favorite places to stay due to their affordable prices on Agoda. Definitely worth it. Just ask for a room not facing the street as it can get really noisy. They have free billiards and ping-pong. Close to shopping and restaurants.

A decent place to stay. Rooms are old but clean. Hotel is quite centrally but quite also public transport pass in front of . Price quality ratio is good. Nearest 7-11 is 10 min walking and no 7-11 accept card payments. P

Location isn’t the best but rooms are clean (a bit old but doesn’t matter to me), beds comfortable. decent breakfast and overall great value for money. I recommend!

Rooms were pretty standard with A/C and TV, nice size shower with hot water. Close to bus terminal and Pier so easy to get a grab there, and about a 10 minute walk to the plaza nouvelle. Perfect for a night or two.

1. This is my second time in Palazzo Pensionne. During my first accommodation, the water flow from the shower was weak. I am glad to update that this has been resolved. 2. It seems that the cable is not paid for this month. During my previous accommodation last September, a lot of channels were available. This time, the only channels that were available were local ones. This, in turn, makes the TV, in my opinion, unusable. If you are a visitor who plans to utilize their TV, you may bring your trusty Chromecast with you so that you can use their TV for Youtube and Netflix. That's what we did 'cause sadly, the TV in our room is outdated. 3. There was a red ladder leaning outside the window of our bathroom. I really don't mind. I actually find it funny but other visitors might be creeped out. 4. Despite my nitpicks, we have enjoyed our stay. The hotel feels warm, cozy, peaceful, and clean. It is worth the price you are paying for.

.. I stayed here for 6 days, extended every other day.. The staff are friendly and helpful, smoking is not allowed except outside the hotel. The food is good. There are some bugs, but it is a good hotel to sleep in and go back for trips.

We move from standard room to superior room because standard room stinks from the cabinets. Superior room is more better than standard. Very simple, nice small beds and comfy,with table and lamps,tv with Netflix. Service from staff is okay they really provide better assistance for their guests. Parking is small here for cars not big enough. I suggest pension house should renovate and make it more higher in standard.Price is really good with breakfast in Agoda we booked.

Bad smell, ants and cockroaches in the room. You can get better rooms for the price.

Prime location, very accessible and near IT Park. They have a common area where you can eat, lounge, and hang out. They have an attached cafe/bar that's always jam packed in the evenings - try their specialty coffees and their cheescake! We availed of the free breakfast with our room selection, they will give you toast with jam, scrambled eggs, and you choice between iced/hot americano or tea. We also rented a motorcycle from their partner, they will bring it to the Hostel for free and pick it up as well. They also have an international ATM within their premises :D Hostel is kept clean and tidy, even the bathrooms are always clean. They offer free shampoo and body wash, in case you forgot to pack yours. Area is very walkable, lots of good cafes, restaurants, laundry shops, and massage places nearby! Highly recommend!

We spent three nights at Murals Hostel and would definitely not recommend it. The hostel does not match the pictures. There were cockroaches in our room, and the beds were dirty—mine even had nails and hair on it, as if the sheets hadn’t been changed. The bathroom was also extremely dirty. Unfortunately, not recommended.

Really enjoyed the hostel and was a great price. Will definitely come back when I am in Cebu again. I was at hostel for 5 days great people working here

I had pesto pasta there on the second floor, and it's full of beautiful long green plants. I absolutely loved everything there food, atmosphere, and service. Prices are good as well.

Good rooms, comfortable beds, super friendly staff, clean bathrooms with hot water, free shampoo/soap and towel. Big co-worker space. Next to a cute Cafe.

Aircon has a scheduled time-off during the day which is NOT mentioned on their listing. Photos are not the same as actual due to aging and depreciation. Shower doors are difficult to close. Toilets have weak pressure/flush strength; it cant flush your poop unless with the help of a pail which you have to request from the staff. Workspace is ok, but the loo in that area smells pungent. Staff is ok; but all men... Without notice or even a knock (as common courtesy), they will come in to the women's quarters, which is off-putting for me. My cheap luggage was opened and changed pin twice during my 3D2N stay here. I was away twice. The first time, I thought there was just some issue with my bag. Good thing I always have all my valuables everywhere I go. Location is alright. Peaceful and quient naman. It has some sari-sari stores in the vicinity. With local resto/cafes nearby. Also has walking distance banks/atm. Very accessible by taxi/grab. This is just my 2nd time in a hostel and my experience with this one makes me NOT want to book any hostels again, or any time soon. Overall: 1/5

Decent hostel in Cebu. It has big enought lockers and bed curtains. There is very good common area and specious bathrooms with quite good water pressure. Staff is very nice and even if there is so many guests arriving and departing they don’t treat them like passing numbers. The only disadvantage is not to much space in the room. Which isn’t really problem if people keep their backpacks under beds, but when I was there the whole access was blocked by luggages and even shoes. This depends on people staying that day but also rules. Its a calm area with few cafes next door.

It was a nice hostel, very quiet. The rooms were air conditioned at all times, which was nice! Though the setup was odd. Bunk beds round the outside with a double bed in the middle. There weren't any lockers or safes in the room either. But I felt it fine to leave my stuff under the beds. There isn't a bar or anything there, but there are many restaurants and shops in the immediate area

The hostel has exceptionally friendly and accommodating staff, making the stay feel welcoming and comfortable. However, privacy for the bunk beds is limited, which might be a drawback for travelers seeking more personal space. Overall, it’s a great option for those prioritizing a warm atmosphere and affordability over privacy.

This place is a gem! The service is top-notch, the decoration is wonderful, and the swimming pool is delightful. A warm thank you to the staff for helping us find a taxi and for contacting the ferry company to ensure we traveled safely.

Great place to stay and amazing staff!!! The pool is also nice and good location near a 7-eleven. My girlfriend got sick during our stay and had to go to the hospital. The staff provided us with a quieter room, a cold towel and ice bucket, and even brought her some cut up pears. Can’t thank the staff enough. There is also 24 hour reception and a guard on the street so safety in the area is taken care of.

Best place to stay if you are planning to visit Mandaue. The staff are very accommodating, the place is clean, they even have a mini pool. The room is clean, has a comfy bed, and the ac temp was just perfect.

The photos published on the website are unfortunately NOT the actual photos. I believe the photos of the rooms they put up on their website are from their Dumaguete branch. The place feels very rustic. If this is the kind of vibe you're looking for, this place is for you otherwise, don't book this place. Common areas felt dusty. It's creakier than I expected for a renovated ancestral home. Their pool looks inviting and artsy. Although, I'm just not sure you'd want to take a dip with people on the bar and counter facing towards you while working on their laptops.

This is may favourite place in Cebu. Usually I don’t write reviews but I came back for the third time and I always would! I‘ve tried out different rooms and I always had a nice experience. It is a very unique Boutique Hotel with beautiful interior aspects. You can find yummy Korean Restaurants just in walking distance, also my favourite coffee shop located at One Paseo. The stuff is extra friendly and every stay feels like home. Even though you are in the City, the quiet subdivision and all the plants give you a calming environment. Highly recommended!

The room is good. AC is working properly. Water is running smoothly. Bed is soft and the mattress is a bit okay. Why only I gave 3 stars? Because I wasn't advice that my room will be changed and it resulted in me paying more than I should have been charged originally. Oh and the front desk is not that accommodating. That's all.

Accomodation is really bad. Air conditioning didnt have a remote. Its cheap but not worth it. I could have found other places with the amount of money I paid. 1 hotel has 3 different owners so the receptionist wont cater to you. Highly inconvenient to go up and down the stairs since there is only one access card which is found on the ground floor. They ran out of water for showering and we ended up leaving the hotel with no shower at all.

worst experience ever!!!! when im arrived i didnt have a nice atmosphere there. its dirty. i was rent a dorm room and they put me in the 12 bed room, whats just later realized that i was sleeping with the people who working and living in the hostel. when new ppl arrived, they took out them stuffs from the bed and try to make look like fresh bed sheet and clean.. i could stay half n hour, left in the night.

In the room with fun was so hot that it was not comfortable to sleep. Normal with fun it's ok but here the room is so small and it doesn't have circulation of air (window was small). Towels are not included. Around hotel you can find a restaurant and shop. If you want refill water is not possible in hotel but outside 100m right you can find automat with water. The cold 🍺 is available on nearest petro station ;)

The staff is friendly and helpful. They gave us a piece of paper contain of basic information about direction, etc. The room was clean (not very). The bathroom was clean. The AC worked well, the wifi was fast too. This place in a good location. 7 mts away to SM Cebu, 1 mt to The Persimmon. 10 mts drive to Ayala Mall. Just took jeepney (forgot the number but can check on Google). Nice stay afterall.

Large, clean room, good bed, hot shower. Too much girl hair on floors, shower head needs nozzles cleaned with vinegar. Toilet needed an extra bucket thrown in to flush properly. Location is 500 pesos by taxi from the airport.

It's an ok hostel for a short time, we stayed there just for one night and the room is quite spacious but not especially clean. Take the aircon room otherwise it's boiling hot. Staff is friendly and gives good advice.

A good place to stay. It is a guesthouse run by a family and helped by their own relatives (the usual Filipino business practice). The staff are friendly and attentive. The room is clean and nice with windows enough for the sunlight. Their air-con gives enough coolness to the room. The comfort room is clean. They cook very good home-cooked meals here. The place is well attended maybe because the owners live in the same house. All of these for a cheap price.

This place feels like so homey to me. It is clean, staff are very accommodating. And the location has perfectly nice view. My sister and i enjoyed the 3 days stay here. If there will be another chance for me to comeback here in Cebu, i would definitely stay in this guesthouse again.

LOCATION: -quiet (something you need to have a restful night), private compound (to add to your feeling of safety and security), 3-5 minute walk from the main road (away from the hustle and bustle) FACILITIES: essentials are present-comfy beds, toilet with water available for 24 hours, common hot/cold drinking station (to be paid per glass), available common cooking area OWNERS: welcoming, responsive, kind PLUS PLUS POINTS: 1. Washing your clothes is allowed-one great thing if you want to pack light during your travel. Plus, they let us borrow their hangers. 2. On our day 2, I requested if I could make use of their pan/stove/utensils for me to be personally heating our food, but instead, they microwaved it for us (hassle-free). 3. Speaking of utensils, they also let us borrow their kitchen utensils-knife, plate, cup. 4. The owner willingly got us a taxi to the airport at 1:40 a.m. (again, that's A.M.) just for us to catch our early morning flight to Clark. Thank you sir and your family! God bless!

it is so so.you should not expect the service since it is not hotel but guest house. we can know philippines life since the family the piano. the view through the window is good. the fan on the ceiling is broken so i suggest that you borrow a electric fan from the owner

Amazing place. I have been traveling for a while year and this house reminds me of my house at home. Rebecca who works there is amazing, she goes so far out of here way to help you in anyway she can. She is a super star

Simple guest house, very clean, calm. Uphill out of Lahug, fresher air then anywhere in Cebu City. Fair prices. Meal and breakfast service not working because of unmotivated personal

I was travelling by myself in Cebu and chose to stay at the Cebu Guest Inn for three nights - a choice I definetly didn‘t regret! I arrived in the evening and before I could even put my backpack in the dorm I was already invited to eat together with the owner and her family since they were celebrating a birthday - I felt welcomed and home the minute I arrived at this place. I was amazed by the nice mountainview this place offers. Also the rooms were very tidy and clean, the staff very kind and supportive. After a five minutes walk you reach the street where you can catch jeepneys going to the center. I can definetly recommend this place!

Affordable and nice coworking space! I've visited twice already to get some work done. The wifi is fast and reliable. There was just one time though when someone was playing games on his PC and the continuous clicking sounds from his mouse were a bit distracting. The staff should be more attentive to ensure the environment stays disturbance-free.

Nomad Hub is my favorite place to stay in Cebu based on my needs—reliable internet for work, proximity to establishments for groceries and food, and if you love going to the gym, you can check out Yokok's Gym, which is within walking distance. Plus, the Nomad Hub staff are great at serving you! If you're looking for meal prep, just search for Think Fit Meal Prep on Facebook..

This is my third time staying at Nomads Hub, and I keep coming back because of the super convenient location. I love the place it has a great working area, strong Wi-Fi, and air-conditioned rooms available 24/7. There’s even a café inside, plus a nearby convenience store, laundry shops, and plenty of food spots just around the corner. The staff do their best to keep the place clean and are always accommodating. Overall, a great spot for digital nomads or anyone looking for comfort and accessibility.

The good reviews are about the coworking. The dorms are old school. Cockroaches, ants in my bed (they got in my backpack), and mouse poop. And the shower pump has an issue. You have to ask them to turn it on and you get about 3 minutes of water before it fails again. The staff were great and helped where they could.

This is honestly one of the best places for coworking! It offers everything you need — a comfortable coworking space, hostel stay, a nice cafeteria, and even showers. The best part is that if you stay at the hostel, the coworking area is already included! I highly recommend it if you’re a digital nomad looking for a productive and cozy place to stay and work.

My go-to place when I want to work on something after work hours or during weekends and holidays. Affordable rates to enjoy basic services with unlimited coffee. However, the management should check on some of their receptionists, they are wasting time talking with guests and forget the orders and requests of other guests, just a personal experience.

Everything is good. Affordable, worth it rapud ang place they have study area and work space good Wifi High speed recommended.❤️👍

It has a good ambiance here and also near on the church and near on the fast food like mcdonalds and dunkin donuts.

(Translated by Google) Great hotel! Very clean, pleasant, professional and attentive staff. Secure. We stayed in the green room. Beautiful decoration, clean and soft bedding. I recommend!! (Original) Super hôtel! Très propre, personnel agréable, professionnel et à l’écoute. Sécurisé. Nous avons séjourné dans la chambre verte. Belle décoration, literie propre et douce. Je recommande !!

Visiting the Minor Basilica of the Holy Child in Cebu was a heartwarming experience for me. The moment I stepped inside, I felt a quiet sense of peace. Seeing the image of the Santo Niño up close filled me with awe—it’s amazing to think how many people have prayed here for hundreds of years. I spent a few moments in silence, just praying and thanking God for everything. It felt comforting, like I was being embraced by His presence. Watching other people light candles and whisper their prayers also reminded me how faith connects us all, no matter where we come from. That short visit left me feeling lighter and more grateful. It was a gentle reminder to trust more, pray more, and appreciate the blessings I often take for granted. Simple, but very meaningful.

A beautiful and sacred place filled with history and devotion. The atmosphere is peaceful, and the devotion to the Santo Niño is truly moving. A must-visit when in Cebu!

Sto. Niño De Cebu is one of the best tourist spot here in cebu city. But more importantly, you need to respect the culture of cebu because its one of sacred church not a public tourist spot. Additionally, when a priest is talking please refrain yourself taking a pictures. To show a respect is not a demand but to show what kind of person you are in a strange place.

arrived there mid-day, crazy hot outside but weren't allowed in (must wear long pants). big crowd outside more like a market than a church. the architure has no special design or size & entice no admiration. we left after 5 min.

During my recent visit to the Basilica del Santo Niño with a friend, we experienced a deeply troubling incident. A stray black dog — which I had earlier seen being mistreated by a guard — bit my friend inside the church. There were multiple witnesses, including three guards and a nun. I had to step in to get the dog to release her, and my friend was bleeding significantly. What was most upsetting was not just the attack itself, but the response. No one offered assistance. No first aid kit was brought, no one inquired about her condition, and no staff member took initiative to help or even show concern. As a sacred and historic site, I would expect far greater care and professionalism from those responsible for visitor safety. The lack of empathy and preparedness we witnessed was alarming and disappointing. I sincerely hope the Basilica leadership takes this as a wake-up call to review their safety measures, provide proper training to staff, stock each guard and guard station with a first aid kit, and ensure compassion is shown to anyone in distress. Visitors deserve to feel safe and cared for in such a revered place.

Cool to see the oldest church in Cebu but very busy and lots of street sellers pestering you. Entrance is free but you have to be dressed appropriately- knees and shoulders covered or you won’t get inside

This is the church of our beloved Santo Niño, a sacred place where we come to pray, reflect, and give thanks. Sometimes, you can come in and find it peaceful with no waiting time. But most of the time, it’s filled with many devoted followers, all gathered in faith and love. It’s a beautiful reminder of how deeply the Santo Niño is cherished by so many. Whether it’s quiet or crowded, the sense of peace and spiritual connection here is always strong.

Fort San Pedro in Cebu is a laid-back historic spot that’s worth a visit if you’re into old forts and chill walks. It’s not huge, but it’s full of charm, stone walls, leafy courtyards, and a nice peek into the city’s Spanish past. The vibe is relaxed, with lots of corners to explore and spots to just sit and take it all in. It’s right near the waterfront too, so it’s an easy stop while strolling around the area.

If you're a lover of history or simply looking for a peaceful yet captivating place to visit in Cebu City, Fort San Pedro is a must-see. As the oldest and smallest fort in the Philippines, it holds a powerful presence that echoes the rich Spanish colonial past of the country. Originally built as a military defense structure during the Spanish era, Fort San Pedro once served as a barracks for Spanish soldiers. Today, it stands proudly, retaining much of its original structure—thick coral stone walls, a commanding gate, and bastions that whisper stories of centuries gone by. Wandering through its well-preserved grounds feels like stepping back in time. The small museum inside offers artifacts, documents, and photos that give deeper insight into Cebu's vibrant past. It's not just a tourist spot—it’s a living piece of history. What’s even more fascinating is how the fort has been beautifully adapted for modern use. By night, the fort transforms into an enchanting venue often used for wedding receptions and special events. The blend of old-world charm and romantic lighting makes it an unforgettable setting—elegant, atmospheric, and deeply meaningful. Whether you're a history buff, a photographer, or someone looking for a quiet escape in the city, Fort San Pedro is a place where the past and present come together in a uniquely beautiful way.

We came here for a quick tour to check it out. The entry is 30 pesos per person without a guide. I highly recommend you hire a guide. They get paid in tips so you can give what you feel is fair. The guide really made the journey worth it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have understood the history and whatnot as there aren't many infomative signs inside. All in all, it was a lovely 15-20 mins tour. If you have some time to spare, it's worth going through it. We did enjoy the walk and information. Our tour guide was very sweet and took nice pictures of us.

16th Century Spanish Fortification in the Old City of Cebu. The grounds were cool and inviting, the Fort filled with historical relics from days of old. Great stop for a break during the heat of the day

The no BS review. Fort San Pedro is a nice small piece of history in the heart of Cebu. The place was clean and had a lot of cute and clean cats just roaming around. Good place for taking pictures especially in the afternoon. I think the place lacks a bit of storytelling. There are historical pieces but not much else.

This is a historical place which tourists and even locals could visit at least once. You can tour the place for more or less 30-45 minutes. I recommend you to wear comfortable attire as the place is not airconditioned. There is a gallery and souvenir shop as well. Entrance fee is affordable!

Fort representing great history of Cebu. Entrance fee is only 30 pesos. Can walk in the courtyard and up onto the walls of the fort.

Ok

Don’t book here. Horrible service, dirty and noisy rooms. We arrived at 10 pm with a reservation, but we were not greeted by the man behind the counter. He just looked at our reservation and ignored us for 10 minutes, when we asked what’s wrong he told us he didn’t receive anything. After some negotiations the man at the door came to help and gave us a room on the 3th floor. No help offered. Everything from the counter, hallway to our rooms were very old dirty and deserted. Our room was noisy and had a horrible smell, the bathroom was leaking, windows dirty, furniture so old and dirty it needs to be thrown out. Next morning the woman behind the counter again didn’t greet us, just barked the number we owed her at us. It was so rude we didn’t even understood at first what was going on. This place is a huge contrast to the hospitality we are used to in the Philippines, don’t come here.

Great Location and Affordable Rates at Teofel Hostel Although I didn’t stay at Teofel Hostel during my recent trip to Cebu City, I had the chance to check it out, and I’m definitely considering booking a room here on my next visit. The hostel's location is one of its strongest points—conveniently situated near key spots in the city, making it easy to explore Cebu without the hassle of long travel times. Whether you're there for business or leisure, the central location is ideal. What also caught my attention is how affordable the rates are, especially for budget-conscious travelers. Despite the reasonable prices, the hostel offers a cozy and clean atmosphere.

Booked for 900 to 1000 php. For the price. It is very comfortable. The ac is cold. The rooms are big. The sheets are clean. But bring extra pillow and blanket. No elevator. Walk-up situation. With parking. Near school. Location is near 7/11 and feels really safe. The guard was nice and accommodating. I tried booking at other place near this. I think it was at cui. The GPlace. This place feels a lot more secure. The street was dark and a lot of "tambay".

Best location But no elevator The aircon was not that strong, however the room we got was clean

Cheap accommodation in the downtown area. It’s next to a school and at that time, they had an activity. You can hear their noise in your room and also at night, when there are bystanders at the 7/11 nearby, you could also hear them. The room was clean. It had all the basic necessities you need such as towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo/conditioner and toilet paper. We liked how the toilet and shower was spacious. Hot water was functional and so was the AC but it had black small stuff coming out when we initially turned it on. Good thing it didn’t stain the sheets where it landed. Speaking of sheets, the sheets under the blanket looked like it wasn’t changed because it looked crumpled even before we got into bed (we tried to take a photo for proof but it wasn’t to visible with our camera). Front desk is not available 24/7 (there wasn’t any at 5am when we checked out) so if you check out early, you can just leave your room key with the security person at the entrance. The exterior of the hotel kinda looks rundown but rest assured they have kept the inside up-to-date and running!

The only good things I can say is that the place had an armed security guard outside (thankfully), there is WiFi, and the staff seemed friendly although shy to talk to foreigners. Other then that the area is rough, very noisy, polluted in every imaginable way, and personally felt very unsafe. The view from our room was a barbed wire wall with an adjacent building overlooking our bedroom (so we had to keep the curtains closed all the time). The AC does not work properly and sounds like a noisy generator. The water from the shower goes all over the bathroom (which has no hooks or shelves to place personal belongings), and the little furniture one finds in the bedroom is very dated and below basic. Another thing we found irritating was the fact that the windows in the common area were always open, so the inside was full of smoke coming in from the polluted outside - not ideal if traveling with people who have respiratory issues. Unluckily we were not able to change to another accommodation due to other plans, but at the same time we only had to stay here for 3 nights.

Worst customer service. The receptionist is very rude. Me and my friends encountered her twice. The first time was when we wanted to inquire about the foods and drinks they were offering (since they have a small cafe) and she was so rude, unapproachable, and unwelcoming. Thought she was just having a bad day that day so we tried to understand her. But the second time was when we tried asking about their room rates, she was still the same. I hope the management replace her because she definitely doesn't have the capacity to be a receptionist.

This place is H-E-L-L! Stayed here one night (had to cancel entire reservation) as this place is unbearable! They have 24/7 construction directly across the rooms(20 feet away), all day and all night. Internet does not work. None of this is disclosed during or before Booking. Therefore sleeping here is impossible. S-T-A-Y A-W-A-Y! You have been warned!

This was one of the worst hotel stays I’ve ever had. The room was shockingly small, what was shown in the photos. The bed was very short, clearly not suitable for an adult, and there was no blanket provided — just a thin sheet, which is completely unacceptable. Comfort was clearly not a priority here. The towels were filthy and looked like scraps of old cloth, not hotel-standard linens. The bathroom was so cramped it felt like a storage cupboard, and the shower had almost no water pressure. Nothing felt clean or well-maintained.This hotel does not meet any reasonable standards for comfort, hygiene, or basic service. It feels like they are cutting every corner possible at the guest’s expense. I would strongly advise others to avoid this place completely. It’s not worth your money or your time.

For the price, the room was okay. The inn is a bit old but modest. I got a double room with a large bed, and it was fine. The sheets and bathroom were okay, though the AC was a bit dirty. Reception was fine and staff were helpful. They asked for a ₱500 deposit, which was returned at checkout. They were also honest enough to return a paper bag with food we forgot in the room. Wi-Fi on the fourth floor didn’t work in our room because the signal was too weak to reach us.

I seldom write reviews online but I think this place deserves an honest review. I stayed here for 3D2N from a friend's recommendation. Please stay away from this horrible hotel. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY FAKE REVIEWS ONLINE. They're a money grabbing, god awful inn for many reasons: 1. Unsanitary - I've stayed at many hotels and this is the first place that charges for a simple room cleaning. Yes, they will ask 300 to tidy your bed and sweep your floors. I get the charge for extra towels/blankets. Housekeeping won't clean up the plates left by guests after dinner until 6 AM the next day! LOL. We also arrived to see a very dirty toilet bowel with a sticky floor. 2. Horrible wifi - I was fooled by their fake reviews' wifi comments. NO, the hotel does NOT HAVE A FAST WIFI CONNECTION. Not recommended for WFH people like me. It's probably max at 3 mbps and it's such a scam because I even asked the front desk if the wifi reaches the rooms well. Liars. 3. Water pressure - you have to knock the faucet hard before it works and the shower's water pressure was SO horrible we had to use the bidet to shower. Yup. That bad. 4. Construction noise - this may be out of their control but having to give your guests a heads up about the noise would've been good. TLDR: DO NOT stay at this hotel if you want a good night's sleep and nice stay in Cebu. HORRIBLE wifi, dirty rooms, weak water pressure. Actually ruined my whole trip.

The room wasn't that great, quite bleak, but had what i needed like aircon and heater in the shower. Unfortunately, you can hear the noise from the streets. Like i came at a time in which construction was ongoing and the noise woke me up haha. ALSO THE INTERNET DID NOT WORK the location is the best part!! hahaha also the staff were kind as well. Their food was okay din

Don't expect much. A budget-friendly, very simple and clean hotel! The room is very simple and just right for two people but they also have family rooms, and they even have a gym on the second floor for only ₱150 a day. Just a heads-up, you’ll need to prepare ₱500 for the deposit, but they’ll return it after your stay. Wifi is seldom weak. The location feels a bit unsafe, but there’s a jeepney going straight to Ayala Malls if you don’t want to walk. Jollibee is also just 100 meters away, which is super convenient. The staff are hospitable, and overall, it’s a great value for anyone on a tight budget who still wants a good place to stay for 1 night. I sometimes stay here when I have fun runs to attend.

We used to stay here a lot due to price and convenience but Now, they're terrible. No WiFi on some rooms, water pressure is low and THEY HAD THE NERVE TO CHARGE FOR A STAIN AND FOOD WE NEVER EVEN ORDERED AND HAD NO PROOF! Just deducted from the deposit. For shame!

Loved my stay here! Coming from Bohol, it was the perfect starting point for all of the adventures Cebu had to offer. They have an amazing pool by the restaurant and free drinks every night for an hour. I stayed in a group dorm and while the beds were bunk beds, the bathroom was clean and the room taken care of. Overall my stay was very enjoyable and the staff was extremely kind and helpful.

This was the cheapest and greatest value hostel I've ever stayed at. The rooms are good, breakfast is good, the vibe is great and you can meet people easily, the security is good even though it isn't in the safest area. The staff is also very helpful and very nice !!

We booked a private room, though it seems like this hostel mainly caters to digital nomads with dormitory-style accommodations. Unfortunately, our room wasn’t worth the price. It was very basic, with no towels, no amenities, no WiFi access, and an incredibly thin blanket. There wasn’t much reason to stay inside the room, and to top it off, they charged extra for towels. Even other budget chain hostels provide towels, so this was a bit disappointing. On the bright side, the bar was a highlight! It had a great atmosphere, almost like a resort tucked away in the middle of the busy city of Talisay. However, that’s about where the charm ended. If you’re just looking for a place to grab drinks and enjoy the vibe, it’s worth checking out, but for accommodations, it left a lot to be desired.

Was a great place to stay while in Cebu. While it may be a little bit away from the city centre, it has planty of places around to go for food, including a supermarket and food court. With a pool and drinks bar in the common area, it’s a cool place to hangout. Rooms are decent sized and clean. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We arrived during the low period so we’re very fortunate to be able to late check out due to having a later flight in the evening.

This is my first time to check in that the towel is not included in the amenities. I don’t even use your blanket because it’s not as pleasant compared to other small hostels. And one thing, your check in process is not professional. Please make an effort to improve your services.

Very friendly staff and you get everything you need from a hostel. They offer tours, taxi's, water... Pool was awesome and the bar is a lot of fun. Free beerpong, DJ, happy hour at the bar. We loved it! There is also a mini mall nearby with Jolibees

only pic pea is when checking out ,female staff member acted as if I had stolen da towel,didn't appreciate that from her,she practically yelled stop as if I was walking away with cheap towel ,paid 200deposit for towel only to get 150 back,other pic pea is no tv in rooms

Rooms were clean, staff attentive. They were currently modernizing while we were there, so that led to a little congestion. Short walk for food pharmacy ect , not a bad location for budgeted travel. Would stay here again .

Booked a room via booking in the evening and recieved confirmation mail. In the morning when i woke up and have a flight from Palawan to Cebu, i recived messege from this place, via booking that its fully booked. And they have no room for me. And of course every another hotels is fully booked too, cause i need a room immediately . So i was forced to book 1 star hotel in some hole. Cause i had no choice. And it was very bad expirience.

If it was possible to give a score lower than one. I would do it. The hotel is in a very bad condition, the Wi-Fi in the room does not work, the toilets and the shower are in such a terrible condition that we could not shower there. It is not recommended to stay here, it is better to stay somewhere else. We pay 1,050p for one night. Too much for this horrible room. We shared the problem with the owner of the place that the room had a bad smell. And they moved us to the room that I attached the pictures of.. We asked to change rooms and they didn't let us.

I arrived at the hotel and they gave me a room that was not clean at all, after asking for a new room several times (which was really not clean each time) I chose to leave and ask for my money back. after a long time they finally gave me my money back. i would recommend not to stay here as the rooms are really very dirty and not properly maintained. for example the shower wouldn't turn on and the toilet wouldn't flush.

The Center Suites first and foremost is a great budget hotel in the center of Cebu. Clean and affordable rooms and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. However, as of the writing of this review, there is a noticeable absence of their previous amenities, probably due to budget cuts borne about by the pandemic (and possible inflation). There were no hygiene complements (like free soap, but there are towels) and there is no cable tv and the wifi is very slow. We booked this hotel, since we heard a plenty good things in the past, but it is clear that the hospitality business is one of those hardest hit during these times. If you can look past some of these few inconveniences, then the Center suites is a solid choice.

Hotel seems pretty new. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. Aircon is really cold. No free toiletries just towels and disposable slippers. Cable TV is working well. Location is also ideally close to restaurants and fast food chains. Staff is accommodating and courteous. The only downside to this hotel is the bathroom. Bathroom is very small especially the shower. It's very tight and there is difficulty in taking a bath.

Affordable hotel near Ayala Mall I have stayed at The Center Suites two times and the last time was in December 2016. It has good location near The Ayala Mall, just walking distance 10 minutes. But the neighborhood just close to the hotel is a little bit rough. When you are walking from Ayala to the hotel, there is an unfinished construction site just close to the hotel at N Escario St and Gonzales Compound which you must pass. That construction site looks exactly the same as when I was there the first time in December 2015! When passing that area at night time it feels not safe, it's dark and shabby. The Center Suites offer much for the money. Clean rooms with good working AC. Some of the rooms have "the silent and not too cold" type of AC. Breakfast is included and the staff is very nice and service minded. Free WiFi but the signal varies from excellent to less good depending on which room you have. The Center Suites is a nice hotel, very affordable and gives value for your money. Rating: 1-5 where 1 is terrible and 5 is excellent 4 Location 5 Sleep Quality 4 Rooms 5 Service 5 Value for the money 4 Cleanliness I stayed here December 2015 and 2016.

The best thing it has is the proximity to the airport. The room we stayed in is pretty close to a busy road and not acoustically isolated, so expect to be disturbed by traffic noise. The service is ok. The breakfast buffet, although quite limited in terms of variety, is of an acceptable quality.

MULTIMILLION BUSINESS THAT CANT PROVIDE GHANGE FOR PAYMENTS! This motel has great awesome staff and they are always the best. I'm writing this as I stay weekly and been staying there for 10 years. Something's never change and it is not the staffs fault just weak upper management. Like no cable tv service most the time with staff directed to make it sound as it had just stopped working and they have reported it. AFTER several years it becomes clear they don't provide cable tv service and know it, they just advertise and claim they do. Also they consistently are never able to provide any change for any payments and often expect the customer to go somewhere and make the change for them? An example is attempting to pay a p200 charge for soda because they didn't have change for p1000 or p500 in the middle of the day so they charge it to the room. Then at the end of that shift still no change and ask you to have the next shift provided it. Then at checkout the following day still no change and expect you to go somewhere and get change for there business?? Don't let this discourage you from the motel it is a super clean and very budget place that seldom has working television or able to provide change for their business or even provide a phone number to make a complaint. Their reservation number is the most they attempt to allow someone to discuss a problem.

No water? Your problem. The greatest inconvenience you’ll ever have. If you love to not have relief and not get a bath. Try this Inn with molds and bad AC 🥳

I regret to share that my stay at this budget-friendly hotel was disappointing. Upon arrival, my room had mold on the bathroom ceiling, affecting both the room's scent and my breathing. Despite notifying the receptionist, it took two days to be relocated to a better room, significantly improving my experience. Unfortunately, I noticed staff members speaking about my request behind my back, leading to noticeable changes in their attitudes each time I interacted with them. Room service was also inconsistent, not attending to my needs for three consecutive days. On a positive note, the hotel offers a decent breakfast from 6 am to 10 am, and its proximity to three malls and various bars is convenient. The new room was an improvement, but I discovered I had been without a blanket for two days, a lapse perhaps due to miscommunication with housekeeping. While the price was attractive, these experiences contribute to my three-star rating instead of two. I'm thankful for the larger room, which I presume was offered due to limited alternatives.

Good place to stay in Cebu city. Nice central location, reasonable cost, comfortable room. Staff is very nice and helpful. Rooms are a bit dated, and little things fail, but the staff will take care of you.

You get what you pay for..it's not full hotel service but reasonable place to stay at an affordable price

*Accessible *In the City *Room are clean *With Wifi Connection *With Television *Accomodating Staffs *Free Breakfast

Worst hostel I have stayed in. Most staff are rude , some are kind and want to help. The rooms are tidy but the lockers don't work. The beds, well you can feel the person sharing the bunk with you breath. The bathrooms are disgusting. They look like they have never been cleaned.ypu can not use the mirrors as they are so dirty. Most toilet's don't have a seat. There isn't any atmosphere at the hostel and I didn't feel safe. The hostel bar plays loud music all night with terrible singing from a live band. In conclusion, if you want just a bed then this place is fine.

The place is good but the wash room in room 5 seems like a horror movie like saw. Not clean and full of stains. The foreigners i am with that night says not to use it due to that condition. I'd rather use the public shower. They have free welcoming beer! And the ambiance is great though.

Awesome place. great employees that help with your every need (including starting up a game of flip cup with the whole hostel) and helping to get cabs when you leave. They also greet you with a free ice cold beer or pop on arrival. All in all a 10/10 experience. 👌

The room was clean but very cold at night. Restroom and shower area was not clean at all and seemed like they don't clean the area every day. There were bugs and dirty things on the sink. By looking at the picture, it looked like a social hostel but didn't really get to meet anyone other than people in the room. I was ready to leave in the morning the next day. Wouldn't really recommend this hostel.

The hostel Le Village is located approximately a half an hour drive without any traffic from the airport. It is also located a ten minutes drive from the South Bus Terminal. The rooms are different. From private rooms to 8 beds dorm and 10 beds dorms. The rooms are very simple but there is always enough space for everyone. Every room has also an AC that works perfectly. The staff is wonderful. Whatever problem one has they will always try do help you as much as they can. I can only recommend this hostel.

I enjoyed my stay here. The staff were very nice & it was fairly social at night. I stayed in the private rooms which oddly enough are the only rooms without air conditioning. The bathrooms could be cleaner otherwise they were fine. The Wi-Fi was spotty beyond the rooms in the first hallway.

Nice place! The en-suite rooms upstairs aren't great but the (cheaper) rooms downstairs are very clean and close to the communal toilets/showers. I'd recommend staying in one of those. Great staff, very helpful and friendly!

Fuss-free hotel. Rooms are clean and hot and cold showers work. Has cable TV, closet space, little dining table and some rooms have sofas for additional seating. The hotel is not that new and if you're looking for a budget-friendly place that is also clean and secure, you might want to check this out. Your guests will not be allowed to go up to your room though but there are plenty of seating areas in the lobby and dining area.

I visit WGH often because we hold our prayer meetings there. This hotel is like an eco-hotel which you could instantly feel when you enter the hotel. It's not one of the popular hotels in the city but I see they have an ample amount of foreign guests (specifically Asian) checking in every month. I think that equals to good credit considering that Japanese are used to exemplified service. Their bathrooms are clean!!! I could attest to that. :) Their food is cooked upon order and I think they also serve organic food there. :)

Worst hotel experience of my life. Charges 500 pesos to eat any piece of external food item in their lobby, cannot bring any food into rooms. First hotel I've been to to DEMAND ID from EACH person staying at the hotel instead of just one. Hotel staff extremely rude, says it's a pet-friendly hotel but you will be met with glares wherever you take your pet around the hotel. No shampoo, no bottled water, provides 2 measely soaps and that's about it. Also charges 400 pesos per night for pets which we were not informed when we inquired about the hotel's accomodations for pets. Never seen a single smile during my stay in this hotel. Only redeeming property of this hotel was that the food was pretty good in their lobby for its price

An eco friendly establishment 🏢 pushing for less carbon foot print that serves as a model for other hotels. Room rates are affordable but feels somehow that the service is compromised. Food is not something to be looked forward to. Toby Callos, the hotel's endearing canine receptionist, welcomes guest at the door 😁 which makes everything okay.

Its like a dorm. The room was nice considering the price. Its secure and has good wifi connection. Walking distance to ayala and perpetual succour hospital. If there is only one thing to improve for me is that they have to install better showerheads.

Good points: 1.A walking distance to Ayala Center Cebu and to the famous House of Lechon. 2. Clean rooms and quiet place. Bad Points: 1. They have a very strict policy of not allowing your friend or associate to go to your room. What if you really need a good massage from a legitimate masseur for a good night's rest after a tiring trip? I think they have to reconsider their somewhat too strict policy. 2. They will ask for your room number when you dine in their small caferteria. I find this odd and strange considering that the cafeteria is a separate operation from the hotel itself.

Quiet place Eco friendly Conservative ambiance Accessible to malls/ businesses/stores. Friendly staff/security guards With CCTV, very safe. Vicitors not allowed inside the room.

Great choice for the budget traveller. It's close to almost everything a tourist would want to visit—restaurants, sites, malls. And the staff were nice. Although they only provided one towel and one blanket for a bed that was clearly for two. And it was really noisy at around early morning to the point that we can't go back to sleep. I don't know if those were guests, the staff, or neighbors. But guessing from their language, I think maybe the staff or neighbors. The room we used could get a little more cleaning and polishing to make it look as brand new as the pictures they provided.

I went to that hostel because the good score, I didn't like it. Didn't get any hostel vibe, the room and the bathroom it was too dirty. My window was directly to the backyard where the staff was making noise and talking way too loud until 2am! I didn't like the spot either, any good restaurants around ( I read on the other opinions there where good restaurants around, I asked the staff and they didn't recommend me anything).

Budget friendly. Has rooms for 2, 4 or 6 -(mixed, dorm type). Toilet and bath is common. They don't serve food and drinks but there are quite a number of restaurants in its 500 meter radius! Parking is outside, along the street and your can be towed at night by the strict city traffic people.

Service was good. Staffs were friendly but price is more expensive than what you'll get. Rooms are big though. But photos they have are way far from the actual. But what I love is the internet connection.

Good for family or group. They have clean rooms with complete amenities. It situated in lahug so travelling with Cebu is easy. They also provide every guest a quick guide sheet in Cebu.

The ambiance is great. but the toilet is little creepy.im scared everytime i went shower. and wifi is great. room is clean yet books are spooky too(not my type)

prob the best hostel in cebu city. it was clean, with 3 beds per room, with kitchen for food preparation. its best to take taxi here. in evening theres alot of food plaves around, street and in-house.

I've actually stayed here from December 6th to 9th 2024. It seems like the place has seen better days. The garden was completely miss cared, the toilet is not very good, and I've got no recommendations for bike tours or anything else... The owner wasn't there during my stay.

Seems perhaps it's an off season thing, yet they have signs indicating food and drink, yet they don't have most of what listed on the wall. Presently it's more of a cook on your own from the trust fridge at the moment. They have lots of signs for a bar that was here at one time. I ended up going to the supermarket as they had no beer and I was hoping for some sleepy juice due to my need to go to bed early for my next flight. The room is basic, good for a night of sleep after a flight. The staff is friendly and accommodating, they cooked me a meal after my 32 hours of flying and layovers, however, they suggested at first that I just cook for myself, I just didn't have the energy. I don't stay in hostiles much, yet this is just fine for simple accomodations. However, it's lacking the bar and most of the food that's posted on the walls at this time. Edit: Apparently the travel agency (Chase Miles) messed up my reservation, I had no idea, the hostel didn't mention it either, my apologies for the screws up. With regard to the beer I did ask, the staff told me to go to the store. I felt a bit weird asking for food, when I did they said I needed to to cook it myself, however I asked if they had any loganisa and they said no. I had no problem with that, and I said some sausage and rice, which was available, was fine and thanked them for cooking it for me. I made nothing upon my original review, perhaps just needed to explain more clearly as to my experience, so I'm not sure where that accusation came from. However, knowing the booking was not correct I can totally understand the challenge with an unexpected guest. Thanks for the stay, it worked out fine, regardless.

Room was advertised with AC, and it did not. Bed was too big for the bed frame, pieces of debruy on the bed. Some windows had see through curtain in place so felt quite open when in the room. Toilets had no bin for toilet paper, showers were cold and had a dead cockroach in it. Staff were lovely, but the place needs some TLC.

After a long night of flights.. We arrived very early morning and we were already able to check into our room as it was empty and ready. That realy is the best welcome you can have after long travels. We were welcomed warmly and after some sleep we spoke to the hosts. They helped us with our laundry and answered many questions about travelling through the philippines. They also gave us helpfull advance and recommendations. Thanks a lot!

The place is very homey. Two dogs will welcome you at the gate - terifying but cute and gentle once it gets to know you. The owners are two foreigners and are very warm and hospitable. They still welcomed us even without a reservation late at night. They have an ”honest” kitchen, which I find really convenient and nice. They also serve breakfast. Their porch and garden is very unique. The room we got was huge and really homey at a very affordable price. I strongly recommend this place for travellers both locals and foreigners. You'll also meet other travellers mostly at the kitchen 😆 The place is quite far from the main road but won't be a problem if you are into walking a kilometer or two.

We spent just 1 night in this place, but we felt good energy. The staff was so friendly and helpful even when we arrived late in the night. The bungalow where we stayed was so nice, having our own spacious terrace, and the bed was so simple but really comfortable!! And the toilet was very clean!

The owners Jens and his girlfriend are very kind and friendly people, they are really helpful in planning your trip around Cebu and the place feels more like home than a hostel. I will definitely come again.

Decent budget stay in Cebu. They had overbooked the dormitory but quickly fixed the issue and found me a place to stay. The room itself was small but had a comfortable bed. The toilets could use some better cleaning. It’s a bit in the back of an alley

Went to check in and left after 15 minutes. If you have the budget, choose a different hostel other than this. there's only 1 plug in the room so you'll either charge or use the fan. The bathroom is also vvv far and not good if you work at night and needs to use it often

I stayed at Achievers Dormitory for 11 days, renting their Single Room (Fan) with shared bathroom, and here’s my full experience—both the good and the not-so-good. Location One of the best things about Achievers is its accessibility. The location is very convenient—close to malls, the South Bus Terminal, and training centers. Although it’s not walking distance, it’s just a short ride away, so commuting isn’t a hassle at all. For those attending training or traveling around Cebu, this is definitely a plus. Room & Facilities I stayed in the fan room, which I personally wouldn’t recommend. The room itself is quite spacious—it has space for your things, a hanging rack, and even a small bedside table, which I appreciated. However, the fan isn’t enough to cool the room, especially during the day. It gets really hot, and I found it hard to rest comfortably. If you’re planning to stay here, I strongly suggest going for an air-conditioned room instead. The beddings were very thin, almost like blankets you wouldn’t use for sleeping. It didn’t feel cozy or comfortable, so if you’re particular about that, it’s something to keep in mind. Bathroom Situation This is where I had the biggest issue. The shared bathroom is not very private—especially for women. The cubicles are low, so if someone tall passes by, they can literally see inside. With many foreigners staying there, and most of them tall, it honestly felt unsafe at times. I found myself rushing through showers, always worried someone might walk by and catch a glimpse. Also, the floor is often wet ("sige ga danaw"), which can be uncomfortable and unsanitary. I think they really need to improve the drainage and add more privacy features to make guests feel safer and more at ease. Food They have a karenderya downstairs, which is convenient. However, I personally didn’t like the food. It was often too salty (asgad) for my taste. It’s okay if you just need something quick and cheap, but I ended up eating outside most of the time. Overall Experience Overall, my stay was just okay. It’s affordable and in a good location, but it definitely has a lot of room for improvement. If you're just staying short-term and on a tight budget, it might work—but don't expect comfort or privacy, especially if you're choosing the fan room. If I were to come back, I’d book an aircon room and probably find a different place to eat. Pros: Accessible location Spacious room with basic furnishings Affordable rates Karenderya on-site for convenience Cons: Fan room is uncomfortably hot Shared bathrooms lack privacy and proper drainage Beddings are thin and not comfortable Food is too salty (based on personal preference) Final Verdict: 3/5 stars – Good for budget-conscious travelers who just need a place to sleep, but if comfort and privacy are a priority, this might not be the best choice.

Washstand is broken. Toilet is broken. I don't understand why they left a disgusting bucket in the bathroom. Even considering the low price, it's the worst.

They didn't have a better idea than to start banging around with some repair at 8 in the morning, totally surreal. I don't know what's going through the owner's mind.

Provide what is said for the price it said, expecting more than that is a daydream. Food at the eatery is good and affordable. The place is clean and convenient enough. The location I am not to say cause I picked it to be close to what I need, but it was peaceful enough. A fair bargain.

Budget-friendly single room accomodations. Communal spaces are kept clean (6 toilet-shower combos) with shower shoes provided. Showers need shelves, not nice to put toiletries on the toilet. If you are on the taller side, you can put smaller sized toiletries on the overhead divider. Rooms are econo-size. So tiny, could not fit my yoga mat on the floor next to the bed There is a shelving unit in the room that you can put your clothes and belongings on. The big bonus is the Air conditioner that you can control. The diner downstairs had little to no Veg options. An earlier review posted about many Vegetarian options but I was not nearly as lucky. Could not eat there, not even once. Location is walking distance to San Carlos University, the port, many shopping malls and supermarkets. For the price, it's a good deal. Clean and safe. You have to pay for bottled water. There is a hot water kettle in the lobby. Hard to find due to small signage. When Google maps tells you that you're there, you're there.

Clean Guesthouse and friendly staff. Decent price for a private guestroom. Location is about 10 minutes away in a taxi from the bus station and 15 minutes on a Jeepney. Downtown is also about the same kind of distance away which is relatively close. There is a mini rooftop cafe on top of the guesthouse overlooking the mountains. Location is also safe with local eateries across the street.

Air condition was barely cooling up the room. I was also greeted by a cockroach in the toilet (which was extremely small). Google says it is a two star hotel and it for sure wasn't. There was also a big wall damage and the main door was that of bathroom type. Even the pillows were underwhelming.

Very small cramped dorm. Clean enough but just not all you would expect from a nice hostel. But it's fine if you just need a place for a night or two and don't mind being a bit far from the action.

Stayed here last year. I was with my brother and my parents, both were senior citizen. It was the closest inn we could find so we checked it out since it was already late. *I also looked it up online and checked the reviews beforehand. And no bad comment so go* But I was really disappointed and insulted upon arriving at the place. Maybe I could put up with the atmosphere that greeted us but in my parents part, I couldn't. That lady at the front desk was not at all welcoming. My parents were tired from their long trip to cebu. And that was the last thing I wanted them to feel. Tbh nakakasuka Yung feeling, upon checking i almost wanted to just take it back and find another place to stay. We checked in at around 10 and super early in the morning, we checked out kasi di na talaga namin kaya, kung di lang talaga pagod ang parents ko di kami magsstay. Please kahit sino man ang nasa front desk, please always be nice. Please din wag kayong pumili ng customer na you're going to be nice to. Also I don't recommend this if may kasama kayong senior citizens, because you have to take a lot of stairs to get there. Okay lang to sa mga backpacker. Anyways, decent naman ang place, sakto lang ang banyo para makagalaw ka. But not worth the price.

It's clean and only one year old that's about all it has going for it. The Wi-Fi only works in the common area and if there is more than two people using it then it is to slow to function. The only standard plug socket is behind the tv. The TV is fuzzy on all western channels. There is no DVD player and I wasn't aloud use the USB port to play a movie . The reason given was incase the TV got a virus???. Was it a smart tv? No!. The common area has a two seater sofa and two foot stools. Ninos bar is about 20 feet away. It was cheaper to buy beers in the bar than the hostel. It was also 100pp cheaper to rent a bike. The hostel also come after you for money if the petrol tank isn't exactly as full as it was before. A staff member came into the room at 830am and could clearly see people sleeping but began to talk loudly before another guest silenced her. On the first night at around 11pm a staff member entered our room that already had the lights off just to get my email address. She almost woke my friend who was sleeping. Everytime you buy an overpriced bottle of water you sign a (blank) receipt. A terrible run business where they try to get as much money as they can from you

Smaller than I expected. Bed is too small good for 2 people and the toilet room too. Not easy to tske shower because it's too. Wall needs paint

Rates are the lowest you can find in Cebu hostels. The place is clean and the staff are accomodating and well-knowledgeable with the city's commuting routes.

Stayed as a guest at the hostel and as a tenant. The hostel was an okay experience. Good location. The beds were comfy and the room rates were affordable. There’s 24 hour food shops, convenience stores and a massage place. I decided to move in due to the near by coffee shops and restaurants located on the ground floor (places I could study) and they also allowed small pets. I planned to stay for 5 months but decided to leave after 1 month. The shower water pressure was the slowest I’ve ever experienced living in the city which was a shock because the showers at the hostel side worked perfectly fine. The in house laundry station requires you to go all the way down and to the other building to request for staff to activate the laundry machines and the Wi-Fi was very slow and would constantly disconnect at times. Before moving in you’re also required to give a 5,000 peso initial deposit which was acceptable and the process for your refund would take a month after checking out however it’s been almost 2 months since check out and after multiple follow ups, I still haven’t received my refund.

I stayed at this new hostel for a 4 day work trip. I managed to book a room at a good price through Agoda when I searched for one less than two weeks away from my flight. It’s a 20-25 minute drive away from the airport. Located in a compound and near IT Park, The Pad has all the essentials surrounding it: a convenience store, a spa, some cafes and restaurants. It has a spacious elevator that works well and makes going to your unit a lot more convenient. The Pad also has its own restaurant and bar. Though I wasn’t able to pay the bar a visit, I heard good things about it from fellow travelers, like how they would host quiz nights and acoustic sessions at night. The restaurant opens at 10 AM, but from 6 AM to 10 AM, they offer an unlimited breakfast buffet that is currently priced at P390. The room that I booked was alright—nothing too fancy, but also a good deal. As a solo traveler, I am always out, so I don’t look for anything special with where I sleep and bathe. I only need the basics: toiletries, proper ventilation, and a comfortable bed. The room came with a towel and toiletries, but not a pair of slippers (which would have been helpful). The room had no rug, so it was a bit of a hassle to take a shower and have to completely dry yourself so that the floors wouldn’t get wet. I also wish that the bed came with a comforter and not just linen, since it feels strange not to be wrapped in anything comfortable when sleeping. I just had to adjust the AC’s temperature to keep myself from freezing. Only problem I had with this was that the AC would leak when kept on for too long. Another point of improvement would be the responsiveness of the front desk and the clarity of policies. When I booked through Agoda, I was under the impression that the breakfast buffet was included in my payment, since it was listed as one of the free facilities, but when I arrived, I was informed that it was not part of my booking. Their policy on the Agoda website also says that check in is available 24/7, but it turns out that you have to pay an extra P500 if you want to check in earlier than 2 PM. Same with check out. It says that you can check out until 11 PM, but I was told by front desk that they can only keep you until 2 PM for free. If you check out past 2 PM, you have to pay an additional P500. I honestly do not mind this kind of policy, but I wish it was part of the guidelines written in the posting. During my stay, I asked the front desk for a contact number that I could reach out to so that I wouldn’t keep going down, and they gave a number that was different from what their Agoda posting says. I thought they were going to accommodate me more easily, but the number wasn’t helpful at all. I still had to go downstairs to ask for help, such as when my shower heater wasn’t working. It took over an hour for help to arrive - and again, I do not mind, but I wish I had been updated about what time I could expect help because they arrived past 11 PM. I also tried to request for another tissue roll, but that never came. These are the only qualms that I have about my stay and I really think that with a bit more training, the staff could learn to have more initiative and be more accommodating to their guests. Still, I would recommend this place to those traveling on a budget and would spend most of their time outside.

Had a great stay with affordable price and accommodating staff. The location of the place was very nice and near cafes and even has 7/11 in front of the building. Recommended if you are planning to go to Cebu to enjoy both City and Province vibes.

Stayed here at a time that there’s a construction outside so travelling to and from the hotel was a hassle. The rooms are 1/5, the floors were not tiles so it was dirty and there wasn’t even slippers or rags inside. Slippers are sold at ₱300 each. The heater did not work, the bed is not soft There are a lot of restaurants on the first floor and 7eleven so it was convenient still. Pool area is nice too. overall a 2/5 experience

Loved our stay here! The staff were super nice and helpful. The place is clean and cozy — perfect for a quick getaway. 10 for water supply the best.

2 stars for: 1. Pretty good location & 2. Pretty nice area. -3 stars for: 1. Budget rooms but their food is expensive. Took them 1 hour for our meal to be ready in their cafe. 2. Staff attitude, we were out the whole day and they never bothered to call us to ask us to move our things (we extended our stay and had to transfer rooms that we found out LATER). Staffer gave some attitude about it and no brain cell to call us. 3. No warning or notice about construction that’s happening at the next lot. Lastly, the water heater didn’t work in the 1st room we were in. Also there needs to be: “observe silence” sign cause people are obnoxiously loud. I almost scolded someone. GoHotel in Ortigas MNL is vastly better Thank you

Rooms are really spacious for solo rooms. Location is really great since it is 5mins walk only to IT park. It was also just near to coffee shops and other restos. Pool is also great.

Exceptional Stay at Moonstar Hotel – Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Moonstar Hotel in Cebu, and I must say, it exceeded all of my expectations! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome with their warm hospitality and attention to detail. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and I was immediately impressed by the clean and modern interior of the hotel. The room I stayed in was spacious, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay due to the strategic set up. I also appreciated the complimentary Wi-Fi, which made it easy to stay connected during my trip. Another highlight was the hotel’s complimentary breakfast and snack selection in the convenient store downstairs, which served an array of quick bites + beverages along with toiletries. The breakfast was a great way to start the day, with a wide variety of options that catered to different tastes with generous portions. Overall, my experience at Moonstar Hotel was nothing short of amazing. The combination of great service, clean facilities, and a fantastic room setup made it the perfect place to stay during my trip to Cebu. I will definitely be returning on my next visit and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable and affordable stay in Cebu!

Really good, modern and super clean hostel! We stayed for just a night but everything was perfect. The owner was really nice and helped us with organizing our trip. We also had food in the restaurant upstairs. Both breakfast and dinner were cheap and really good! Definitely can recommend going there!

This is the best hostel/hotel in Cebu. 24 hour convenience store, and Klasik Restaurant and Bar, built in, all at the best prices you will find. Locals and foreigners stay, buy, and dine here. The capsules are awesome. The AC is refrigerator quality and filters are kept clean. They provide a polar fleece blanket and each capsule has its own directable AC vent. No food is allowed in the capsule rooms, but the common room has AC, and comfortable seating. It’s quiet, too. Security is perfect, and the staff are impeccable. Water pressure is great and they have hot water. I’m not a fan of the captive wifi, but it works and is fast enough. The place is just a year old, I think, but everything is maintained very well. They even have memory foam toppers on the capsule mattresses! This is in my top 10 hostel/hotels that I’ve stayed at, worldwide.

The cashier in the convenience store is so rude and curses us because of the mode of payment. As a regular costumer of the convenience store this is the first time that we had experience that kind behavior. When we buy things the cashier would ask on the mode of payment but as what occurred in this incident the cashier did not even ask us first regarding the mode of payment. Hoping for the management to look upon this issue it may not only happen to us but also to the other customers. With this experience the store lost a regular.

Nice hotel, really friendly personal. The bed is really comfortable. You have everything what you newd for 1-3 nights. Near the bus station. Only minus point, if you want a really calm night, you need ear plugs. Nice terasse and a good restaurant. Would come again, amazing price.

We had a really good stay at the Moonstar Cebu, we had a late flight and wanted a place near the airport to sleep and this fit perfectly! The interior was really well designed, clean and pretty. They must have invested in thw bedding because this was the most confortable bed we slept for all our trip, we had a great night and woke up rested and refreshed! Would recommend!

booked here twice already, very quiet and good food. has a bar on roofdeck until 12am. never disappoints ❤️they have heater for your shower and other necessities though you have to request for indoor slippers if you want one

Stayed here for 5d/4n. No lift. The room was clean upon arrival. But the hotel staff didn't clean my room since then despite my repetitive requests. There were ants crawling on the floor. The staffs, however, were assistive on my other requests.

Very basic hotel. Good location. But bathrom is terrible, no hot water, shower barly shooting out water, drains are cludged so there is always flood. Toilet does not flush. Little red ants in the room. Only 2 free electricity sockets in room and finally the bed is just a piece of foam, no real matress so it's hard to get some proper rest.

I been coming here 3 years, its the cheapest place around Mango Square. Great location and the rooms are colorful. The wifi is decent but there is no hot water, some times the aircon works great, some times it doesn't. You get what you pay for here. There are some roaches but its the tropics and that is normal. There is great store around the corner where you can always buy beer and snacks 24/7.

A place to lodge when your on a budget. No lift or elevator. Room is fine, colorful flooring. The good thing about this is the location cause it's near Fuente Circle, close to the Robinson Fuente, Robinson Cybergate and Hospitals and Stores. Other than that it's somewhat good place to stay in.

To the management, please improve ur area. A Family room for a rate of P1,100 is very disappointing. Small tv, no cable! A lot of ants in the floor. There linen is so itchy(maybe bedbugs). No rag in the CR. Telephone is not working. Excluded breakfast meal is P145 but the viand is very small, not worthy for the price (rice, egg, and the pork was so small, same size sa egg(less than 10 bits slices). Also the cabinet is broken.

Rooms are too small..the tv is old school, its do small.. upon checking in, they were still cleaning the room and this one person na pinapatungan nya sa desk ung towel ko na inilabas sa stock rum. When i was about to sleep, i opened my blanket and there were a lot of hairs like it was never cleaned and did not replaced the bedsheets its like they just pulled tge sheets to look neat. So i just used the other side of the towel and laid it on the bed. Good thing is they have fast internet connection. They have cable and cold a/c.

The worst! The doors are not working it wont lock whenever you go out its open! The bathroom stinks! Yung imburnal sumusungaw sa CR. We have to transfer rooms! Dont ever book to this hotel. This is not worth tge stay!

IF YOU"VE GOT 0 PLANS ON SLEEPING PEACEFULLY THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE . this place is noisy AF . the path leading to the hostel is dark and it smells like a local dump. tiny cockroach everywhere.. front desk ladies looks like they don't know what they're doing.

For the price, its decent, near malls & restaurants/cafe, they provide free kitchen use, bath towel, body soap and shampoo. Downside are: no hot water and yeah sometimes the bathroom would smell like sewer but the water is clean, although kinda slow, the top bunker kinda has a bit of dust. AC was fine for me and the employees were young and polite

Built in Sewer. Full of sewage smell unbearable. dirty and no maintenance like bungalow If I mention: Charming staff girls *Allowed me to change the date due to a flight delay. * Free drinking water is served. * There is basic tableware to use with a kettle and microwave oven (except cooking tools like an electric oven). * Not bad location near the center area * Wi-fi was so-so * There is a lounge area with a sofa Cons: * full of sewage smell * no cleaning/ maintenance (despite staff is there 24H) *broken shower with very weak pressure * generally impossible smell or unsanitary * Nightmare sewage river dipping sound 24H * even A.C. air is from the toilet. * bugs from gap on wall * Linings are worn out and stained. I wonder why this accommodation has a higher score. maybe because the dormitory area (on the road side) is not so bad compared with the private room side. private area is the hell. with a smell facing the gutter. bad air.   unsanitary. I must say that this accommodation was the almost worst level that I experienced for accommodation. I was very surprised and shocked to arrive for the first time. strong smell of food (vinegar) near the entrance as it's located behind a deep-fried shop. I must say this accommodation was the almost worst level that I experienced for accommodation. .. Also, after entering the accommodation, I noticed a I noticed a weird smell (it was sewage). and the first room, which they brought, was the worst. It was a small room with a hundred years old rust and small, sticky bunk beds with spider nests, bugs, rats, or birds. on the roof. There was no trace of cleaning. power outlet is at the lower bed. (Even staff say about smells.) especially, it's like living right on inside sewage and sewage water right from outside. always dipping flow sound of water, it seems to be built on the sewage river. The window of the bathroom is connected to the sewage river. (in Philippines, sewage system seems not developed mostly. so each house process or just throw away to river..) Also, the A.C. is bringing such sewage air directly to the room. It's a nightmare. How a property owner tries to make money from such qualities as prison and torture of toilets. What was not good. I mistakenly booked and paid for 2 weeks. So after consulting, the staff let me move to another room on the third day for no extra payment. which is bigger and nicer with a double bed despite not having a private bathroom. However, what I noticed is that anyway, the smell was still there as the window was jalousie and the air was coming and warming the room. also A.C.  seems built into the toilet? and sometimes a strong smell comes in as well. impossibly. (Jalousie window cannot be closed perfectly intentionally as a default, so always smelly and unsanitary air comes into the room, and also the A.C. temperature is not maintained.) Thousands of ants came into the room from scratch between A.C. Well, generally, I am very surprised about the quality of life in Cebu (Philippines). This place is not for foreigners (tourist). The sanitary disadvantage is huge. while the price is not so superior. Who wants to live in the old toilet? with money?

It's a hostel, not hotel. Don't expect something super nice. But the price is very kind as same as the stuff. I was staying there almost a week and it was nice. I had everything I needed except of kitchen, which was only for stuff and I could use only very basic things like microwave, cattle but not the stove, which is pity. But I met a lot of interesting people there so if you are backpacker, can really recommend. 😁

The location is nice. Its near the Fuente circle, an easy accessible landmark. It's a hostel (dormitory type stay) so it's best for backpackers or someone who just need a place to stay for the night plus it's cheap. It's inside the pungko2 restaurant so you already have access to variety of food.

It was a great place to stay for travelers on a budget. The location was great because it was near the osmeña circle, where a lot of businesses are situated. The room we got has towels, blankets, and a small desk space. There is a shared living room with a very comfy couch and a kitchen with free water and coffee. The wifi is not pretty fast but still tolerable. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating. Lastly, I got to pet a couple of cute and sweet cats. However, the entrance/exit to the hostel was quite horrible. You have to walk through the eatery which is quite smelly and a bit dirty. It was also a bit loud due to the customers.

Location is good if you want access to city stuff or the port, or the airport. And the price is fair for what you get. Instant coffee sachets and hot water are free. But otherwise it's pretty basic. The lounge/common room area is quite hot and dimly lit. To get in, you go through/around a popular eatery. Lockers available and fan in the dorm room.

“If desperate around IT Park Cebu area...” I wish the owner improves facilities: 1. use white LED bulbs to reduce "kinky" aura of rooms and why the corridors WITHOUT lights? 2. Threadbare towels... with holes. I used my own... 3. For its price, big room and bed, but no other amenities like bidet, toiletries need to be requested... 4. Best asset? Location for Waterfront Lahug or IT Park events, convenient commute to all city tourist places.. 5. Overall... I'll look for a more wholesome place in the same price point next time!

Reservations, don't go direct as they won't answer or don't know what to do. Location ideal it's near my destination of business, with 7-11 store. Room, old faded paint, sheet too thin, bed hard, noisy Aircon, Toilet sharing it was indicated in the online platform 😡. Don't use this hotel unless you need it for short time. 3 hours use. ZERO WIFI

Toilet is shared between 2 rooms. Small roaches are everywhere. Check under the bed it's likely never been cleaned in ages. Not recommended.

Had to rent here as we had a temporary gig nearby for 3 months. It's quite cheap considering its location, and the number of people who had to stay there. However, the rooms were bareback. You had to pay for a monthly elevator fee, and the front desk experience is very awful. Our bill was written on a piece of paper that was torn from a notebook(very suspicious), and the front desk said that they cannot provide an official bill until after we pay. We had to wait for more than an hour when we checked out, because they weren't aware that we were going to check out, and they needed to check with the system first, which they had no access to, and had to contact their management to do.

I had bad experience here in there JY Lahug branch. I booked online and when I arrive there, the staff didn't see it in their system. They have an info but it's in a different person. I have already the email confirmation that it's successful and paid but the staff is not knowledgeable and don't know what to do. It's already past 2AM in the morning, we're still in argue and they didn't let us to checkin. I even ask for additional person in room and they didn't let us allow to do so but instead getting a new room. So I ended up let my parents check-in and I went home instead. Indeed a really worst experience for the first time. I will never forget and visit this inn again 😡😤

This is the MOST UGLIEST PLACE THAT I HAVE BEEN TO! AIRCON IS BROKEN, ROOM IS UGLY AND DIRTY AS HELL, AND EVERYTHING IN IT IS JUST A MESS. I WILL NEVER EVER COMING BACK AGAIN. IT'S NOT WORTH IT. BETTER TO SLEEP ON STREET THAN SLEEPING IN THIS PLACE!!!! NO ONLINE PAYMENTS BROKEN AIRCONS ROOM IS FILTHY THEY WON'T GIVE YOU EXTRA BLANKETS DON'T HAVE ANY AMENITIES NO MAINTENANCE AT ALL (AS WHAT THEIR STAFF TOLD ME) I PITY THIS PLACE

Air-con not working properly, glass is broken, dirty and full of dust , also door is broken so we need to call crew to fix it . Not safe to check in .

The bed is comfortable and clean comfort room however they have an early curfew. I read the notes attached at the door and it said at 12 midnight they will close the gate but I was locked out at 10:30 PM and I needed to ask to open the gate. The dorm policy is not accurate and they do not follow it. They should not close the gate at 10PM, it clearly says on the policy 12 midnight the gate will be closed. 😞😞 Not a good experience being locked out.

In a shady place of cebu, its good for a night to ease the trip, but not for long stays

Bed was very comfortable. AC working really well shower had a good pressure. There is no flush in the toilet just a bucket. The Internet is working well. It s got a good location and cheapest place to stay in Cebu

Toilet is barely out of order. Flash don't work and no hot water . They just don't care to fix it as I've read it isn't working since last year . I wouldn't recommend it not only for that but for the neighborhood and the noisy noisy night . But if the room had a window like a common window that closes as all windows do the noise wouldn't bother at all. But they don't care . So a big no.

Near Fort Pedro and the main church. Close enough also to the bus terminal. Cheap price. Entrance street may be off-putting for some, especially in the evening/night. A little bit too small for a couple. AC noisy and not working great. Toilet flush and sink tap not working.

The dorm is beautiful, it's only a dorm yet it looks like it's a suite because of how the place is maintained with the paints and the design, rest rooms are clean and complete with necessary equipments, wifi is available, there's a laundry hanging area. The building is still ongoing construction at the 3rd floor which means it's subject to more improvements, my only issue for now is there isn't a cooking area yet. P.S. There's also a cute and friendly kitty😍

If you are planning to laag here in Cebu but needs somewhere to stay near those tourist spots like Magellan's Cross, Sto. Niño Church, Fort San Pedro... Then visit and stay here in My bed Dormitory especially a room with private bathroom. Room rate is good at PHP700plus. Bed is big for two with shower. No TV but there's wifi hence no problem. The place is also in downtown...near Carbon Market, Gaisano and other malls and commercial establishments. Taxis and jeepneys are also very accessible near this place. The cashier is also nice. Kudos! Thumbs up!

Clean and comfortable backpacker capsule accommodation located in the city proper. Wifi works well though there aren't many good restaurant options nearby. I left my water bottle here in January and was able to pick it up a few months later. I appreciate the staff for keeping it safe. They're attentive and nice.

Balai Balai is fabulous. Very clean and comfortable. The self-contained beds are a great feature. Lots of room inside and everything you need close at hand. Lots of space for hanging and storing your belongings. Instead of the usual curtain for privacy, these beds have their own sliding, lockable doors. A very practical addition. The bedding and towels were of a high quality. But the best thing Balai Balai has is great staff. They are so friendly and very, very helpful. They offered lots of little extras and local advice, and it made my stay very comfortable and relaxed. I'm certainly looking forward to another visit. Thank you for taking good

The Hotel offeres extremely great tours with fair prices. Please if you are a foreigner traveling, book your tours from these people they were fantastic in every way! I did the moalboal canyoneering+sardine run tour and the oslob whale shark tour.

My only complaint is that I didn't know where to leave my suitcase. But the place is quite clean, the beds are comfortable, the staff is friendly, and the location is perfect for catching the ferry

Cosy capsule pods, ideal for backpackers. Very central to independence plaza and a range of sights. Staff very friendly and accommodating. I went on 2 trips organised through the hotel, both fantastic so would highly recommend.

Location is very good but everything has a price, including water.

Affordable rooms and clean showers & toilets! My third time in this hostel 🥰

Good location. Superb facilities. Friendly atmosphere. Stylish and instagrammable. Best of all, unbelievably affordable. I would definitely stay at HQ hostel again on my next visit to Cebu. Highly recommended!

Newest, chillest and most affordable hostel in the heart of Cebu city. ❤️ Clean rooms. Beautiful interiors. Nearby working ATM and 7eleven store. So much parking space. It's walking distance to Mango Square, Jollibee and Ayala Cebu Mall. The internet is really fast. Great for digital nomads.

I come here everyday to chill and work. Besides the high speed internet, the coffee is really good too! The rooms are also very clean and the beds are comfy. Highly recommended!

I travelled all the way from Sydney, Australia This is the place to stay when in Cebu. Great service, good people, clean, and bang for your buck. Thanks for the hospitality HQ Hostel Cebu!!! Definitely see you next time. -Mark Vidz

I loved this hostel! From the people to the artwork. Amazing showers and great local food close by. I came back to Cebu a night early just to start here again. They have a cool study room where I would teach my online classes. I could live there

I have never stayed in a hostel before, i was adamant at first But HQ hostel exceeded my expectations. We stayed there for sinulog since this hostel is situated at the heart of cebu. Accessible to everything, fast food chain, grocery shops and shopping centres. Also, they hAve a huge parking space incase you’ll rent a car which we did. They just don’t have clean rooms, great coffee, super speedy internet, very accommodating staff, they also have luggage storage for free since we had an evening flight... But what i like the most is how i felt safe and secured during our stay. Words are not enough to describe how satisfied we were during our stay! Definitely going to stay there again! Highly recommended.

The interior of the place is very instagrammable and very refreshing in the eyes, wifi is very Excellent too👍😁 it is located at the heart of cebu city. The place is clean and as well as the shower rooms. Will surely recommend this place 100%.

I had a wonderful stay at this transient house! The place was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The rooms were comfortable, the amenities were complete, and the location was very convenient—close to stores and public transport. The host was friendly and responsive, making check-in and check-out smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy and affordable place to stay!

The room is very spacious, neat, and well-ventilated. The rate for the rooms is really budget-friendly but really of good quality service. The staffs are very accommodating. The area is accessible. Highly recommended especially for those who would want a chill stay may it be short term or long term.

Highly recommended! The property is budget-friendly yet very clean, quiet, and comfortable. Staff members were welcoming too. Perfect for a short stay in Cebu.

Stayed 2 nights here for the board exam which was great because the place was quiet, peaceful, safe, clean, and not to mention, budget-friendly. Saved a great deal of money by staying here. Location-wise, it's also very convenient, with many sari-sari stores nearby so you can always buy what you need like groceries. Walking distance to a huge park, which is perfect for an early morning or afternoon walk/jog. Staff was really accommodating. Big thanks to Mam Neth for helping me with my requests. You can opt to cook your own food in the common kitchen or order a silog meal from them. My only gripe here is the broken doorknob to my room and the bathroom. Very minor, but those could still use some fixing. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay in this transient accommodation. Might return here when I have the chance to explore Cebu again.

The place is accommodating also comfortable to stay and very accessible to the places you want to go. The person in charge of transients is also friendly. The room is clean. By the way, I took a single room.😂😉. Malapit din siya sa police camp Kaya safe naman ang place☺️ highly recommended

We reserved a room for 2 people this aug 9 for one night, when we confirm the reservation this day (aug 8) the company just told us that the room is already unavailable, like how? We just did a reservation last aug 2 but when we check the room now (aug 8) it's already unavailable. Its a no for us, bad costumer service I suggest you include a policy and inform your costumer first that "No down payment No reserved of rooms" before you tell your costumer that the room is already reserved for them even if they dont ask about that policy you should initiate on telling them because not all costumers are aware of that policy especially if they are new to the city. Thats all, still thank you for your time and effort on replying to us and and Have a good day

Very affordable and clean. Swak sa budget travellers and family outing na magTour ng Cebu. Accommodating staffs and pet friendly.

Fast internet connection plus the accommodation was great. 👌

Very friendly and nice staff!

Quiet and neat

(Translated by Google) Very good location 5 minutes from all amenities. We're not talking about great luxury but it's enough for 2 or 3 nights (Original) Très bon emplacement a 5 min de toute commodités. On est pas sur du grand luxe mais c'est suffisant pour 2 ou 3 nuits

(Translated by Google) Stayed two nights in April 2025 There is everything you need. Simple, yet clean. The rooms are not big. The bed linen and towels smell nice with air conditioning. Hot and cold water (for food) on the 1st floor. Shared refrigerator. There are eating areas on both the 1st and 2nd floors. You can ask for mugs, plates, a knife, etc. The staff calmly responds to all requests. There is air conditioning and internet. We, as conscious travelers, are generally satisfied! (Original) Проживали две ночи в апреле 2025 Есть все необходимое. Просто, при этом чисто. Комнаты не большие. Постельное белье и полотенца приятно пахнут кондиционером. Горячая и холодная вода (для еды) на 1-м этаже. Общий холодильник. Зоны для приема пищи имеются и на 1-м, и на 2-м этажах. Можно попросить кружки, тарелки, нож и прочее. Персонал спокойно реагирует на все запросы. Имеется кондиционер и интернет. Мы, как осознанные путешественники, в целом довольны!

Sorry, but no. It’s dirty and cramped. The people living there are long-term so it’s disgusting. Club outside and very loud. People are constantly turning on the lights and they are bright. For the same price you can stay at a decent place nearby. The moment I arrived I contemplated leaving and finding a different place. The only upside here is that towels are provided. I never felt so sad spending 400 pesos before today. Do not stay here. FOR LOCALS ONLY

Garbage place. Filthy, cramped, weird vibes. Toilet didn't work, AC in room only blew onto bottom bunk (rest of room was not), no security/lockers. Great location though, yet nothing to do in Cebu regardless:-)

Beds were comfortable, WiFi worked really well and the guys working there were very useful for information and friendly to chat with. In a good location in town and close to south Cebu bus terminal

For the price I got with the amenities, it's the best in town. I recommend this hostel if you're for a quick wholesome sleep in the city center.

They have lockers and room was good. Crashed there only for one night though. Staff is helpful and responds to phonecalls

It was simple. Perfect for those who want to explore the City. Almost everything is a walking distance from there.

No hot shower, no working WiFi, very small rooms, no working toilet, no place to store valuable items

Highly recommend, very kind owners who showed us around and took us out for dinner. Very satisfied with their service!
