Classic hotel service but starting to show its age
Great service, good location, great food
9.3
The location of the hotel is around 15 minutes from the city center - close enough that you don't get hassled by the bustle of the city, but close enough that you can pop in and out of the shopping malls quite easily, and cheaply, by using either the hourly hotel shuttle, or by getting a taxi.
The rooms itself could be a bit bigger. The bathroom design and fixtures are starting to show its age, however the facilities are maintained well enough that this isn't as noticeable.
Other facilities such as the welness spa, and the gym are oddly located at the basement. I would have expected them to have utilized their above average view. The spa service itself was fairly pleasant.
All in all, for what you pay for, the service, food, and facilities are great.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Don't fret getting taxis in Cebu, they are numerous and fairly cheap considering they are all metered. They also seem safer than the taxis in Manila.

Great locations but with small roaches
Name recognition and prestige.
7
When we enter the room it smell like chemical and the light near the door is blinking. At night i have a craving for coffee and open the pot to boil the water, I was surprise to see 2 small roaches inside the pot. I was so disappointed to see this a 5 star hotel w/ roaches. I also asked the front desk staff if they give mileage for staying with them, she said yes but I am not qualified because I bought it from the travel agent.
Travel tip:
I'd rather take ramada hotel instead of Marco Polo hotel because I saw 2 small roaches inside the pot were you boil water for coffee.

Good Enough for 2 Nights
Its a big and spacious hotel
7.7
I liked the hotel because it is quite spacious, although since its an old hotel, there are some signs showing, good thing they are starting to renovate parts of the hotel as there are lots of other newer hotels in the area. Compared to other hotels, it is definitely worth the money you spend. Good if you are here on business or for specific purpose, not much recommended for those on sightseeing as its a bit far from venues.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Don't forget to check out the sky adventure in cebu is you are a thrill seeker.

Very nice hotel & friendly staff
Breakfast buffet was so good.
8.7
Unforgettable. I would stay here over and over again although a little far off from the 2 major shopping centers, they have shuttle service to & from these malls but I wish they would extend the last pick-up back to the hotel to 9:00 pm or later. Also, when I booked, they didn't have a superior room w/ breakfast so we ended up paying more @ the buffet area.
Travel tip:
Book thru Agoda coz it's cheaper than booking thru the hotel website and check for deals.

Good service hotel
Typical hotel rooms but really clean and staff offer good service
8.3
If you want to experience some luxurious stay in a not so expensive hotel, this is a good choice. Marco Polo is up to standards topped with good service from staff. Will definitely stay here again next time we're in Cebu.
