Hotels near University of the Visayas - Colon Campus

Stayed 3 nights in April. Arrived at Mactan, Cebu airport and took a metered cab to hotel costing about 200 Peso. Room was huge and beds were comfy. There was cable tv, bath tub and safe avail inside. Got a room on the 6th floor therefore not much view to see though. Also the aircon was a individual unit and not centralised thus allowing to control your own temperatures. Nice Swimming pool was located at the 3rd floor and there was a sauna attached in the toilet. However, sadly even during the afternoon from 12-2pm there was no sunlight and couldnt get a tanned. Breakfast has a reasonable variety of food of both international and asian fare. However, no live station around thus unable to choose your type of eggs. Only scramble was available. Location wise is perfect. Just across the road is Ayala Center and also a chimney bus interchange. Otherwise is a short 5-10 mins taxi ride to SM Mall, IT mall, Mango Sq and Waterfront Casino. However, the nearest 7-11 is about a good 10mins walk away One point to note is the hotel policy of not allowing you to joint two singles bed together (if you are thinking of saving money to book that instead ) as they can charge you 2000 peso for doing that. However, Front desk staffs were patient and at no point did they lost their cool trying their best to explain this policy to me and their best to help even though i felt that this was a ridiculous policy. Overall, 4 star hotel 3 star price. Will definetly return to stay 😃

This hotel is a luxury hotel and Casino located with a beautiful view of the city. Not being a gambler, the casino could have been disturbing but it was not at all, it was hardly noticed. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Having only tried the breakfast restaurant and the Japanese restaurant, they are both very good. The breakfast selection is extraordinaire and we challenge anyone to miss something from that buffet. The Japanese restaurant is somewhat pricy compared to the Philippines in general, but they certainly rose to the challenge and delivered an excellent meal worth every cent and is hence warmly recommended. We also tried the outdoor section of the Piano bar and that too is an experience worth to have, great cocktails and very friendly staff. This hotel was so nice, we immediately booked it for the last night of our trip as well, with such a start of a trip you can not go wrong, was our reasoning. Well recommended hotel. Best regards - Wennborgs, Hurva, Sweden

Every time I travel, I am really not particular about hotel ratings as long as it's clean. After all, I only get to stay inside the hotel for a few hours because most of the time, I am out in the jungle exploring the culture and the best places to visit. Quest Hotel is highly recommended if you are like me. I cannot think of anything to complain about my stay in Quest Hotel. It definitely exceeded my expectations that we extended our stay and they gave us free upgrade. I so love the smell of this hotel. Rooms are very well-maintained unlike other 4 or 5-star hotels. Wifi connection is very speedy! They serve good food - I love the wide variety of their breakfast buffet. The very friendly and courteous staff is outstanding! I must commend Mr. Roehl Cabahug for being extra helpful. On our last last day, I left my personal travel pillow inside the hotel car that drove us back to the airport, and Roehl was so kind enough to reach out to me and ship my pillow from Cebu back to Manila, at the expense of his time and effort. Overall, I enjoyed my stay in Quest Hotel. Will definitely stay in this hotel again, if ever I go back to Cebu City.

I booked Bayfront at a lower price here at Agoda and just out of curiosity i tried asking the rates as a walk in and its almost twice the amount that i have paid booking here. With the amount that i have shelled out, i should say that it is one of the best values there is. The place is just like one of those five star hotels and it seems that Bayfront has been rated below as what it should be. The room is very spacious especially if you are travelling solo, internet is fast, breakfast is great. Everything there is in a hotel is here. If they could in a bath tub and a walk in closet its a suite not just any room anymore.

Only one hotel in my opinion is better and that is the Marco Polo. this hotel is better located and is staffed with truly qualified people. I wish they had a suggestion box as there is a few small things that would make it exceptional, like a place to hang your night clothes, and instructions on how to use the remote. A very good breakfast with just slight adjustments, such as soup, not just broth, and juice not just water-down or powder. Charging for use of the Business Center. -- the price is minimal but seems a bit out of character for a first class hotel. As a cruise captian once told me: People will always remember the food and never the color of the sheets. Again in my humble opinion it is one of the best hotels in Cebu.

Excellent value, highly recommended. I was headed for US Consulate(ground floor Water Front Casino, 9am-11am ONLY!!) and Pillows Hotel was in right location, at the right price for my needs. At check-in, 1,000p deposit is required. I'm heavy smoker, but trained (like my dog) to do my dirty business outside, so I got balcony room. A sign in room says "NO smoking or be charged 1,000P to sanitize room". Very large, clean, king bed, ref,hot water maker (no coffee maker), shower is big walk-in with good hot water pressure. For a taxi, it's only 150P, including tip, to go casino, or malls etc, usually 15-30 min ride. Going to airport aprox 200P and you better allow 60 minutes. Pillows' Hotel/Dining and even Security staff obviously well trained. They were helpful, they smile, and always gave impression my needs mattered to them. One drawback is many taxi's are not sure of hotel location since it is small and new. Good idea to carry a map with hotel location/address. Hotel printed one out for me. Only other drawback is limited menu, though it's good price value. Breakfast is ok, like what you'd make at home, served all day (6am-10pm). Had it 3 times. Otherwise, a few sausage types (good flavor) or couple sandwich options. But many superb buffets, and restaurants are nearby. I caught casino buffet on half price night. Tried maybe a dozen of hundred things offered and each was "perfectly" prepared, and delicious. My appetite was bit off after being beaten up on the slots. Been to 60+ casinos in many countries and only machines paying at Waterfront Casino were BDP and Commerce Bank. I highly recommend Pillows as the place to stay as your base of operations, and you can use the money you save toward your shopping and dining. You can spend a lot more for a room in big name hotel, but Pillows location, cleanliness, and service has got to make it one of the best values in that area.

Was so happy with Montebello and would love to stay here again in the future. As a kid, I spent some time here in the aper-tel (apartment/hotel) wing of the hotel many years ago and our family would often visit and stay there frequently growing up. As a result, this hotel was close to my heart due to fond memories and I booked the place out of sheer nostalgia. Needless to say, it was such a homecoming to be back and it's had an upgrade since I've last visited. So happy for the upgrade as all the facilities and design have really livened the place up and taken it to the next level. Loving the design and landscaping, the revamp of the kiddies pool, etc. Cleanliness is awesome. I've seen the staff even dusting down the mouldings on the hallways walls - no detail was missed! Staff are amazing, accommodating, and so so friendly. My family and I were so happy for the 5 days we spent and we are so grateful for their generous hospitality as we are a big family. Thank you Montebello!

This hotel, situated near Ayala Mall in mid-town Cebu, is on-par with what would be considered a 4 to 5 star hotel in the USA. It is the second stay here after staying there in late August of 2016 on the heels of staying at its sister hotel of the same name in Baguio City, Northwest Luzon. The hotel features excellent facilities and amenities coupled with some of the best food around. What really needs to be addressed are chronic card reader problems caused by lack of upkeep and greater attention to customer concerns regarding gym equipment maintenance and cleanliness of same. Despite the distance to the bus depots and steamship docks, this hotel is still delivering a very nice product that makes travelers feel very special in a very good location despite construction and homeless.

if you have done a bit of homework before leaving home and heading to cebu, then radisson has the best proximity to majority of the best spots to visit in cebu. got a premier room on a promo rate at agoda and it was over our expectation. we didn't exactly need a mini office and a living area so it was a very nice bonus. very professional and efficient personnel. after signing our information forms, 5 minutes later we were off to our room. they did forget to tell us that you needed your room card to get the elevator going. count that down as another funny moment. clean and spacious. i do wonder why they only provided 1 pair of slippers when there was 2 of us. but that was such a minor detail. you are right across the street from the famous cnt lechon which is one of the best lechon spots in the country (as most people would say). sm cebu is right next to the hotel (since radisson and sm is owned by the same person) so the shopping started a little early. ayala malls are just a few minutes away (probably 10-15 minutes). all other tourist spots are easily reached either by taxi, jeeps. feria is not as big as the other restaurants of other hotels in manila but it had great food selections and had specials for specific days. all in all, it was a fun short trip and would love to bring family with me the next time.

I've stayed in hotels all over the world, and this is one of the best artistic boutique hotels I've ever been in - equaling the best in Chicago and San Francisco. The rooms are huge with high ceilings - I would guess over 20 feet. Even the hallways are extra-wide, giving a sense of openness to the whole hotel. The rooms have retro murals above the bed. Walking around the hotel is a pleasure because of the artwork and decorations. The one downside I found is the restaurant. I only ate breakfast there but it was way overpriced for poor quality. 350 Pesos got a single egg, ham, processed cheese, toast and fruit. But this is more than made up for by the restaurants around the hotel. The neighborhood of Banilad is the most upscale in Cebu. There are lots of really good restaurants, offering many local and international choices. I had one of the best Thai meals I've had outside Thailand just across the street and there are Italian, Filipino, Chinese and Korean restaurants nearby. In the past I've stayed near the Ayala Mall, which has comparatively limited eating choices after you've been there a week or two. The Banilad neighborhood has much wider choices with better food at lower prices. The outdoor pool is pleasant with a well-kept lawn around it. The staff are warm and helpful. I made a few of special requests and all of them were attended to quickly and effectively. I'm a regular visitor to Cebu, and this has become my new home here.

The hotel is new, clean & in a great location, hence the 5 star rating. It just lack basic in room facilities like microwave oven or coffee maker (only 1 of 3 rooms had a microwave oven). Also, their hotel would be great with a swimming pool. The housekeeping, cafe & kitchen staff were great too but I can't say the same about the receptionists & guard/s. Don't get me wrong, I think the receptionists tried to do their best to be good hosts but with a fully booked hotel & only 1 or 2 receptionists at a time, they couldn't fully give us their smile. What I didn't understand are the guards. They couldn't even help us unload or load our luggage to & from the car eventhough he wasn't doing anything but stand there or chat with the people waiting for the jeepney. Lastly, the bizarre experiences we had was when my son, 3 1/2 y.o, & his nanny entered the bathroom (rm.508), my son pointed at 1 corner of the bathroom & said that "lola" was there. He never does that & the nanny, although scared out of her wits, just told my son to ignore whatever it is. Then my mother in law had nightmares the whole 2 nights we were there. Her nightmares for 2 nights were the same, that a man was following her from the lobby to their room. They're in rm.505 & their door is directly in line with 1 of the elevator door. I don't know but isn't that a bad position for the doors to be directly in line with each other? 😱😱😱

It's our 1st time in Cebu so we really need a great place to stay and were glad that we choose Holiday Spa Hotel. It's not difficult to find the hotel since most of the cab drivers are familiar in the hotel's location. They also have their own taxi named Holiday Taxi. If you need to go to the main road it's 1 to 2 minute walk from the hotel or you can ask the reception to call for a cab to pick you up. Hotel only got 2 floors,we stayed in the 2nd flr with windows where you can see the big pool. Room service is 24 hours but if you need to order food beyond 10pm it's not possible since the coffee shop inside the hotel is closed by that time but the reception will give you different brochures of fast food restaurants that you can call and deliver the food in your hotel room. Banilad name of the place where the hotel is located is near in Cebu Business Park (Ayala Center Cebu), Asiatown I.T Park (call centers & BPO), Waterfront hotel and Casino and SM Cebu City.From the hotel, it's also 1 jeepney or taxi ride to Colon (it's like recto or divisoria in Manila) where Magellan's Cross and Basilica de Sto. Nino is located. Basically, the location of the hotel is very accessible in any popular destination in Cebu.

Cebu R Hotel is between two of Cebu's biggest malls, SM City and Ayala Business Park. It is also a block away from a local members-only warehouse store (Landers is a local take on CostCo). However, the actual area around the hotel itself looks dark at night. The other best feature of the hotel are its friendly and efficient staff, particularly the ladies at the cafe and the front desk. The security guards are also highly commended for their friendliness... they are actually the hotel's first and last impressions and they do a wonderful job. The rooms are pretty basic but they work. I wished the rooms had more power outlets but more importantly, I hope they have a look at the state of the bed linens, which are showing signs of age. The roof deck is great for night viewing of the city

We had spent 5 days with Main Hotel and Suites. I couldn't find any complain during we were staying. Price of staying there was good value for money. there isn't bad quality of hotel service. Hotel room was so clean. It looked like kind of brand new building. Every time, they smile and do their best even in early morning and late night. The location of hotel is quite out of the famous street. But you will see this place has good location as well if you new how to get there by taxi. And place of hotel has no noise sounds from out I honestly and sincerely recommend you that you should stay here !!

great stay! the room is small but its enough for me and my friend. its so clean, thumbs up on the cleanliness of the room, sheets, towels and the toilet and bath. the receptionist are very accommodating and serves with a smile. will definitely go back there. we booked thru agoda and paid all in, 24hr ac, 24hr wifi, 24hr tv and 2 sets of toiletries. great deal! it's so cheap for an accommodation that's so great! i recommend this hotel because from there you can go to fuente, tisa labangon (12l jeep), colon etc by just hopping on the jeep at the puv terminal. keep it up tune hotels!! thumbs up!

My hotel experience was generally great. The room was spacious and clean. The personnel were professional and very accommodating. The hotel location is perfect if you're visiting Cebu City for vacation. The hotel is a spitting distance to malls, convenience stores, restaurants, bars, fastfood chains, massage spas and almost everything. My room was so conducive for sleeping and I could hardly hear the noise outside. I enjoyed my early morning jog at the Fuente Circle just accross the hotel and the very satisfying buffet breakfast of the hotel. LOL. The hotel rate I got thru Agoda was too cheap compared to the satisfaction I had. Well, despite the old facilities, still, I would prefer this hotel over the other 2 hotels I stayed at during my 4-day vacatiom here. I should had booked in Rajah Park during my entire stay. Nextime, this year for sure.

Marco Polo offers 5 star accommodation in the real sense of the word. The lobby was grand and offers several spots for pictorials with the family. The staff were courteous and helpful at all times. The amenities in the rooms were complete and of good quality. The pillows were the best! Fluffy yet firm. Everything was clean and faintly fragrant, just for my taste. Supply supply in rooms was abundant which makes taking a bath a luxurious experience. The swimming pool may not be so beautiful but the fact that the water temperature was moderated made up for it. Another charm of the hotel is that it is private and located away from the city area. This however, makes Marco Polo inaccessible to clients without a car. I would suggest that travelers intending to enjoy the Marco Polo accommodation must book as early as possible to enjoy big discounts.

I think ABC Hotel is one of the best economy hotel considering its location and below points. The room is modern and kept very clean by thorough housekeeping. Only a point to improve is (cheap looking) airconditioner's noise. All staff were very friendly and dedicated. I found it difficult to book next day's Island hopping tour for one parson and then talked with one of the staff. She kindly arranged chartered Island hopping tour for me!!! although I finally had to cancel it due to lack of information and transportation trouble. I strongly recommend this hotel.

I booked a two night's stay here (double room w/ ensuite), breakfast included. A reasonable rate for Cebu, and worth it since I booked on such short notice. Despite the name, Express Inn is less of an inn and more of a hotel. The helpful staff tells me they have only been open for less than a year, so everything was pleasantly new and very clean. My room was reasonably spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom even had a rainshower head. It is a budget hotel though, and it comes with the usual cons like having really small and cheap toiletries, and you had to hang a sign on the door of your room if you want to have it cleaned, otherwise the housekeeping wouldn't bother. Nevertheless, I'm glad a lot of comfortable and efficient budget hotels like this are becoming more popular, and Express Inn is no exception. Plus, the location was good, near a lot of cheap eateries and a walkable distance from SM. All in all, a highly recommended stay for the budget-conscious traveler.

The location of this hotel is good and near the main street where you can find lots of jeepneys and taxis to commute to your destination. The hotel being only more than a year old still looks very clean and presentable. We’ve walked to and from the main street and the area felt safe. The buffet breakfast is very filling and is what you can expect from a 3 star hotel. It is decent and they are willing to attend to your needs. The room is very spacious and the beds are very comfortable. There is a large window and the view we saw was just the city so nothing very exciting about that. Well you don’t go to a city hotel to enjoy the view. You go to this type of hotel for a place to just stay and rest while touring the city. The room is very clean and has at least 8 power sockets that fit whatever power plug type you have!! The toilet is also very well equipped and very clean. The bonus is that the toilet has its own speaker that continuously streams music. You can reduce the volume to zero but you cannot turn it off. The staffs were very attentive, courteous and considerate of our needs. They gave us a free wireless broadband MIFI device because our room did not receive any signal from their normal wifi hotspots. I was surprised that outgoing local calls were free of charge. I recommend this area if you are looking for a cheap place to stay but with decent, safe, modern and clean facilities and location.

This comments is based on my total 12 nights stay with three different hotel categories: budget , middle range, and the pricy ones. Overall I was satisfied with the variety of hotels I stayed for 4 nights each in three categories. Cebu grand for me is the middle range, good size room, good buffet breakfast although the selection is limited. Friendly and accommodating staff like the other hotels I stayed. I would say that Cebu grand hotel is one of the best in its price category, safe and quite location, clean but older building, room size is big compared to the newer hotels, location is close to Ayala (40 pesos by taxi and availability of taxi is good, good security staff. If you like a more quite location but close to everything, then Cebu Grand is one of the best in its price range.

I stayed here for 1 month, so I got to know this place well. The internet connection here was the biggest draw for me as my work requires it. Other hotels near this class are at least twice the price in Cebu and older. When the internet was working, I would get speeds between 20-300 kilobytes/s (bytes, not bits). They were having difficulties with their ISP while I was there at the end of my stay though, so I changed hotels. Wired connections in all the rooms, wifi only available in the lobby downstairs. Harolds is a lovely lovely place. Brand new, so new in fact that they had to make me a custom "do not disturb" door hanger because they didn't yet have them made. The rooms are luxurious, 5-star level given their condition. Bed was gorgeous and comfortable. Harolds is a business hotel - no pool, very few kids. Perfect for me. Restaurant is ok. Expensive. Right down the street is Handuraw, which came to be my favorite place to eat. Wonderful pizza there and amazingly cheap prices. Ayala mall is within walking distance, although you can take a cab or a jeep too and they have tons of food options as well as shopping. SM mall is very close as well. Harolds staff is extremely nice. All of them knew my name within a day or so and I had not introduced myself. All very professional and helpful. They will make up your room pretty much any time of the day, so if you're on an odd sleep schedule, don't worry. I've never had better cleaning staff. They organized all my bathroom stuff and everything I threw around the room and on the desk. I always came back to a perfect looking room. Do your laundry around the corner, not at Lavada Queen (expensive), but the place on the opposite side of Escario street (I don't recall the name, sorry). If I come back to Cebu and the rate is still this good, I'll definitely come here again.

Although the location may Initially seem a bit of a disappointment to some, as the connotations of the name of the hotel to some Americans ( myself included), the Uncle Tom's Hotel has been one pleasant surprise after another. Brightly lite entrance where taxi can drive you to a Dry entry even in the pouring rain! Helpful staff to Promptly carry your bags. Prompt, Professional Registration Staff Clean, Nicely adorned room with: Thick Mattress Queen Bed, Four nice Pillows, with Soap and Shampoo, & Excellent WIFI All this and a Decent, Fresh Breakfast included with a vegetarian option that was Artistically arranged on the plate, and served in a Lovely, air conditioned dining area adjacent to the air conditioned lobby. I initially put Location at three stars, but am upgrading to four stars because of it's proximity to Robinson's Super Market/Dept. Store (about 750 meters), and just about 350 meters to Wash Day Laundry Mat with same day serv. Wife & I extended our stay twice!

To start with, the entire staff at S Hotel treats you in the manner of a 5 star Hotel. They are very agreeable, attentive and kind. This includes everyone from the front desk, to the security personnel, to Housekeeping. One of the housekeeping staff named Helbert made a beautiful heart from towels on me and my fiance's bed; he decorated it with our pictures and made us feel very special. This is just another example of the kind and personal treatment you receive at this fine Hotel.The bed is king size and very comfortable. The aircon is ice cold. The linens are white and clean, the comforter is cozy. The room smells and feels like new. The bathroom is immaculate. The neighborhood is nice and there are two great barbecue restaurants, several bakery's and a 7-11 nearby. In short the stay couldn't be any better and I was made to feel like a welcome guest. I have stayed here at S Hotel many times and I always feel like I am staying at my second home. I have also stayed at luxury hotels both here in Cebu City and abroad, and although this isn't a luxury hotel, I have never received better treatment and had a more comfortable stay than I have at S hotel. Kudos to this wonderful hotel and staff. They are number one! Andrew G. and Christine Joy B.

Sarrosa International Hotel is one of the best hotel for us. The place and rooms are very neat. The housekeeping always clean our room and of course, their staff and their guards always greeted us whenever we leave and came back in the hotel. I felt like home because it is very comfortable to stay in Sarrosa. On our last day, we've tried their breakfast buffet. I just notice that they serve common foods, I suggest that they should try to serve some Cebu's Dishes such as Danggit, Bolinao and etc. We would like to thank Sarrosa Hotel for your very warm treatment to us and hope we can visit again Cebu City.

Southpole Central Hotel is an incredibly new hotel in the heart of Cebu City. When I asked taxi drivers to get here, the best bet is to tell them that you're going to Junquera street and add that it is located just across University of San Carlos. Next to it is a 7-Eleven. The hotel itself was still under construction. During our stay, we could definitely hear construction work on the upper levels, but it wasn't loud and distracting. The washroom was incredibly well-built, but the shower was not separated by a shower door. This makes the whole washroom floor wet after someone takes a bath and some people may find this disgusting. The redeeming part of this hotel is the bed and the excellent airconditioning. Also, the hotel provides its patrons with a nifty list of channels for their TV. In terms of acoustic insulation, I could definitely hear people talking in the hallway and sometimes from the room next to us. This really isn't a problem for me, but some people may find this offputting.
