Cebuview Tourist Inn

Cebu City Cebu|0.93km from Plaza Independencia
It’s all about expectations here. The price is very low (we paid <15USD for a twin room), so don’t expect a Ritz Carlton experience, you get a room with the basics – that’s it. Our standard room was of adequate size, had no windows, a TV with many satellite stations, an individual AC that was adjustable in temperature (other reviews said it isn’t). The bed was a bit hard but manageable. Sheets and pillow covers were clean. The superior rooms may have windows, but that can also mean that you have street noise. Internet speed was quite ok. You need to ask for a voucher which is good for 24hrs and one device only. We got two vouchers, maybe you can get more if you ask. The staff at the reception was professional and helpful, not overly friendly but definitely not unfriendly, as some other reviewers commented. They happily gave us information on what Jeepney numbers to use and provided us with an adaptor for the wall plug. All AC outlets in the hotel are US style flat prong. Note that you are required to leave a 1000 Peso cash security deposit upon check-in. There are several signs that explain that you won’t get the deposit back if you smoke in your room. No issue for us, we got the money back as soon as housekeeping confirmed the room was OK when we checked out. The lobby looks very old and run down, again: this is not the Ritz. There are some tables and you can order food and drinks, the AC is nice and cold though. but it’s not a place you want to spend any more time than absolutely needed. The do keep luggage for safekeeping when you check out, don’t know for how long though we only needed it for a few hours. The location of the Hotel is in a busy part of town that is somewhat rundown, but we never felt unsafe – even at night, when we walk around looking for a place to have dinner. There’s a 24hr Metro supermarket around the corner too. Overall this place is good to stay for one night on your way in or out of Cebu, especially if you travel to/from the southern bus terminal. BTW: “Nuat Thai” around the corner has good 1hr massages for 200Peso.

8th Street Hostel - Santo Nino Branch
3.7/59 Reviews
Cebu City
The third hostel in Cebu, the bed was hidden by a curtain and the privacy was good. The hostel's users are mainly people from other islands who came to work on a business trip, and domestic travelers from the same Philippines. was broken. After that, the shower had good water pressure, but it was not hot, so it was good because it was close to Fort San Petro, the market, the church, and even a convenience store nearby. If you pay another 150 pesos, they will do your laundry for you.
Sampaguita Suites Plaza Garcia

Awesome location if you want to be at walking distance to Sto. Niño church, Magellan’s cross, and Pier to take the ferry. no breakfast but McDonald’s is just across the street. Parking is a pain. In our stay for just 2 nights, we had problems in the 2 family rooms we booked - roaches, clogged sinks, disfunctional AC and TVs that showed images as blurred as the 1990s. Cockroach and drainage problem seems to be so rampant that the smell dominated throughout the rooms. It was just too much that the kindness of the hotel staff couldn’t compensate for it anymore. If you can tolerate it in exchange for the ideal location, then you can give this hotel a chance.

My two days of stay was truly peaceful. I could choose the same dormtel over and over when I am traveling to cebu. It’s customer friendly, convenient to the public vehicles, and complete with amenities. They also gave their own restobar to dine in and enjoy. They provide services for your ticket bookings for boat. Inside their premises, they have an ATM where you can withdraw money conveniently and no hassle. No wander many foreign travelers choose this hostel for their short and long term stay.

The location was great. The beddings have some dirt but as soon as we reported it to the staff, they changed it immediately. Also, I would like to address the noise beside our room, it wakes us up at around 6:00AM. That was just one of the disappointing to me.

Cebu Backpackers Hostel

We stayed here for 2 nights and everything was good, aside from the 4 flight of stairs that we have to take. Considering that I stayed there with a kid and I think it wasn't the safest floor. Apart from that, I like our stay...the bed was too comfortable that I thought I'd stay in the room the whole day instead of doing anything.
