⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The BEST hostel experience I’ve ever had!
I honestly cannot recommend Yellow Umbrella Hostels in Cebu City enough. From the moment I arrived until the moment I checked out, every single part of my stay exceeded my expectations.
The first thing that stood out was how spotlessly clean everything was. The rooms, bathrooms, common areas, everywhere was exceptionally well maintained. You can really tell that the staff takes great pride in keeping the hostel comfortable, organized, and welcoming.
What truly makes this place special, though, is the people. Manager Glen deserves special recognition. He goes above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome, valued, and at home. His professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for guests create such a positive atmosphere that you can feel it throughout the entire hostel.
And honestly, the rest of the staff were just as incredible. I would write names but truly every staff was amazing because every single person I met was outstanding. They were always smiling, approachable, eager to help, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making guests’ experiences unforgettable. That level of hospitality is rare and deserves to be celebrated.
The atmosphere is warm, safe, and incredibly comforting. Whether you’re traveling solo or with friends, this hostel makes it easy to relax, meet amazing people, and truly enjoy your time in Cebu. The service was consistently exceptional, every request was handled quickly, every interaction was friendly, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble.
I’ve stayed in many accommodations while traveling, and Yellow Umbrella Hostels genuinely ranks among the very best. It’s not just a place to sleep, it’s a place that makes you feel at home.
If you’re visiting Cebu City, do yourself a favor and stay here. You won’t regret it. Thank you to Glen and the entire team for making my trip so memorable. You have set the standard for what hospitality should be, and I can’t wait to come back.
10/10. Five stars aren’t enough!

Guest UserFirst off, as other reviews mentioned, the lobby guard was very friendly and opened the door for us. The breakfast was decent, and the facilities were cleaner than I expected. However, this price point just doesn't feel right for a hotel in Southeast Asia, LOL. One thing that was disappointing was that the shower drain was clogged. Even after just one person showered, the water overflowed, and since there's no threshold in the bathroom, it almost flooded the bedroom/entrance area. When the second person showered, they had to turn the water off periodically. I wondered why it was clogged, and then I saw that after the first shower, the shower filter was about a third full of hair/gunk. I specifically chose this place because other hotels had reviews about hair in the drain, but this one didn't. Turns out, it was even worse here. At this level, they must be getting a lot of complaints, especially for a 5-star hotel. This should be a mandatory cleaning item every time, but it wasn't cleaned. It was astonishing that a manager had to come the next morning and clean it with a toothbrush.

Anonymous UserGreat Stay with Excellent Breakfast
I had a great experience staying at Bayfront Hotel Capitol Cebu. The room was comfortable and I really appreciated that they had a Netflix subscription available in the room, which was a great bonus and made the stay even more relaxing.
I wasn't able to use the swimming pool during my stay, so I can't comment much on that. I also wasn't able to ask for the Wi-Fi password, so I wasn't able to use the Wi-Fi during my stay.
One of the highlights for me was the breakfast buffet. It had a pretty decent selection of food, and I really enjoyed having breakfast there.
There were some ongoing repairs during our visit, which was a minor inconvenience, but it didn't significantly affect our overall experience.
Overall, it was a pleasant and enjoyable stay. I would definitely consider staying here again.

First time staying at this hotel. The staff were very helpful in resolving any issues we had. The hotel has a swimming pool, gym, and spa. Overall, the facilities are excellent. There are many options for breakfast, so you can choose freely. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Anonymous UserGreat location, good Wi-Fi with a few minor disconnections. The air conditioning is too noisy, the bed creaks, and the bathroom was moderately clean, but acceptable. However, the staff is very pleasant and attentive. The terrace restaurant is very nice, the pool is super well-maintained, and I had a meal and a drink there, which was pleasant but nothing special. On the other hand, the staff there are incredibly pleasant, helpful, and caring.

Guest UserThe service is consistently excellent, which is why I always choose this hotel when I'm in Cebu City. This time, there wasn't a spare hairdryer available, so I couldn't use one for a day, but they got one for me the next day, which was a great help. I'll definitely be staying here again.

The staff were very kind, helping with luggage and showing me where to refill my water bottle. As for the bathroom, there's no shower curtain, but the water pressure isn't strong enough for water to splash everywhere. It was a bit of a shame to see some small rust spots, though.

Kenny13Rooms were pretty big! Only issue was with pests coming out. I had a talk with their housekeeping team about what to do so that the issue will be resolved. Hopefully they take action.
