3-Star Hotels in Central Visayas, Philippines

Beautiful, clean room. The view from the window wasn't great, but for my trip, it didn't matter as I just needed a clean room. The room has everything you need for a comfortable overnight stay: shower, bed. The photos are accurate. There's a rooftop restaurant with a nice view that's open late, but they only serve bar food. The plus is that it's open.

The hotel's location is good; there's a restaurant right next door where we ate every day, and the food was delicious. We had a big issue with the air conditioning. In our first room, it broke on the second day. We asked for it to be fixed, and they offered to move us to another room. It wasn't a quick change; we waited about 4 hours for the room swap, but I'm grateful they did it. However, in the new room, condensation was dripping from the AC unit above ours, and the constant dripping noise filled the room, making it hard to sleep. I suggest they install some kind of drip trays. Other than that, it was okay for a short stay.

The hotel's location is pretty good, about 3 kilometers from Pier 1 in Cebu, and there's a large shopping mall nearby. It's convenient to take a taxi to the airport from here, and traffic jams are less likely. Magellan's Cross, the Basilica del Santo Niño, and Ayala Center are also about 3 kilometers away by taxi. The beds in the twin room are small, but the room itself is clean and tidy. The hotel breakfast is decent.

I have had the pleasure of booking this hotel on four separate occasions, each time I visit the Philippines. I was particularly impressed by the Manager on Duty, who graciously accommodated my request for a city-view room on a high floor. I have always been drawn to this hotel due to its prime location, excellent breakfast selection, and courteous staff who consistently provide exceptional assistance. I highly recommend this Bayfront hotel at Cebu Capitol Site for its outstanding services.

This hotel has an excellent location, right next to the capitol building in Cebu. Many useful shops were within walking distance. Good restaurants as well. Its greatest strength is its convenient location. The service staff were very polite, always opened the door, allowed us to make a small adjustment to our reservation (very kind!), and even lent us an umbrella when it rained. Downsides are that there's almost no parking, the wifi doesn't consistently deliver internet connection even if you're connected to the wifi, the room was very noisy due to no sound dampening, the room was incredibly small, and there's no comforter on the bed! Only a thin sheet. I think at the very least I would recommend fixing the internet connection and adding a top layer sheet, so that sleeping is more comfortable. With those improvements I think it would be quite a bit better. The service staff definitely left a positive impression on me, excellent service 👍

Noisy hostel. Loud party music in the night, construction noise in the day. Upper floor shakes, creaks when guests walk on it. While the complimentary welcome drink and staff friendliness are commendable, the terrible noise in the place that disrupts anyone's sleep is not worth the cheap price. Some insensitive and drunken guests also add up to the noise, when Management can effectively handle these issues if they have the right strategies. I requested for a lower bunk bed when booking, but was not granted. No locker key was provided.

The receptionist said that the breakfast option was not included when I already paid for it. I thought it was resolved because she double checked it. The next day when we want to avail the breakfast buffet, they said that it's not included again when the receptionist already confirmed that it included on what I paid for. They ask us to wait for a minute and then allowed us to have the buffet. Please make sure to double check everything first.

Everything is great, the location is close to the port, there is a shop nearby.

My overall stay is good. The hotel’s location is ideal. Staff are pleasant.  Things to improve: no slippers. Free water refilling station would be good. The beds are not attached to the headboard and easily moves out of place.  I just noticed for two nights out of the four nights I stayed, There were loud noises that’s coming from outside the room from several people who seemed to be casually discussing, laughing and hanging out and it went on for several minutes. That was already 10pm and it was distracting.

The place was decent for the price. However, I hope they can clean the bottom cover of the bed, as it seemed dusty and dirty. The food was good. Also, they did not provide a toothbrush and toothpaste, even though it was stated in my booking confirmation. That said, I would still come back, as it is better than other hotels in the same price range.
