Hotel in zona Taboan Public Market, Cebu

The hotel is located close to all the major historical and cultural sights (cathedrals, museums, casas, port - it'll take you 20 minutes maximum to get anywhere you want on foot). There are two 7-Eleven shops and a couple of malls with huge supermarkets nearby. The hotel offers breakfast as advertised, but also lunch and dinner. I didn't book it during my stay, though, because the variety wasn't particularly striking to my taste. The room is OK: quite spacious and not too dark. The cleaning service functions daily. They don't offer any water or toothbrushes/toothpaste. The AC is pretty old and loud, but it is often the case in cities other than Manila (judging from my experience). Personally, I didn't have any problems during my stay there.

CHECK IN - the welcome was warm. Greeted by the security at the lobby and instructed to go to 3rd floor (main lobby) for checkin. Approached the front desk and the woman I spoke with (she was the manager I guess) told me to wait because rooms are still not ready since they were fully booked from yesterday's event. A few minutes later they approched and.proceeded with checkin. They gave us a room, away from the main elevator (which I requested), but gave us the the accessible room just beside the service elevator. I guess they have overbooked because I heard someone said, ”to release the buffer rooms.” The front desk lady who assisted me was nice and courteous. The only thing that was off from that experience was the tone of voice of the lady manager. I guess the regional accent was a factor, but I can sense she was judging me for my looks because I was only wearing slippers that time, and she can't find my booking at first, because it was a last minute booking. Not really creating an issue out of that, but just saying, don't judge, and please, the tone of voice. THE ROOM - everything was great, just a basic room. PROS: A bed, the lights, there's a smart TV, water heater and 2 mugs, a pitcher and 2 water glasses, towels, toothbrush, a hairdryer, 2 rolls of tissue paper, body wash and shampoo refills, airconditioning, and a water refill station near the elevator, hot and cold water in the bathroom. CONS: they could have added slippers (even the reusable ones) because the floor is very cold. The room that was given to us had its bathroom tiles not set properly or balanced, so the water is everywhere in the bathroom instead of going to the drain. RESTAURANT - there's free breakfast at the resto called Seaedr Prime. There's not much from the breakfast menu, and the bangus was not available. It includes the main dish plus fried rice, coffee, and fruit. They had watermelons served during our 2 night stay. SERVICE - it was great. The housekeeper cleaned the room while we're away. OVERALL - I would definitely book this hotel again for a very good deal. Location is nice and I would even compare it to a Holiday Inn.

This is one of the best budget-friendly hotels I’ve stayed at near the city. The staff were very friendly, and I loved the breakfast buffet. The room was spacious, including the bathroom, and the hot water worked perfectly. I enjoyed the view from our room, and they fulfilled my request for a twin room. The internet was reliable, and overall, it was an amazing experience—definitely a 10/10. One of my favorite trips!

We loved this hotel. Attached to malls downstairs made it convenient as well as their free multiple daily shuttle to Cebu’s Ayala Malls and soon to make available daily free shuttle to the airport would make this hotel a stand out. Now let’s talk about their pools, hotel view and breakfast. Breathtaking!!!! Pool staff were great on both pool location (4th and 5th floor). Buffet breakfast has all that you can ask for. The view from room to pool, to gym to main restaurant are spectacular! You will have a view of the ocean, the city lights, the bridge and the mountains. Just an amazing location. Staff were super helpful all the way down to finding the right mode of transport when we checked out. This hotel will now be our go to accommodation preference for Cebu.

A suggestion for improvement - to strengthen the rules in the pool especially to foreigners. My little kids were there swimming and they both asked why those young foreigners were not following the rules, they must be kicked out from the pool. Pity was the attendant who kept on reminding them.

There is everything you need, excellent staff, we were always ready to help, the location is excellent near shopping centers, shops, we really liked it

Its the blue branding! Really felt the difference! Though hotel is a bit ancient, service and facilities are still very good

We booked the room specifically for the Sinulog 2025 celebration. Waterfront is really “at the center of it all”. The service was superb! We enjoyed our stay and we had yummy breakfast!

Very good hotel. There are many choices for breakfast. The location is also very good. There is SM nearby. I will choose this hotel again next time I go to Cebu.🥰The downside is that the TV is very small.
