2 Mad Monkey Hostel Cebu City

If you want a quiet night, then I would not suggest this hostel. But if you want a good night, free shots, great company then this hostel was amazing. Stayed one night when transiting through the city and came back just for the atmosphere. Can't wait to return when travel resumes.
3 The Flying Fish Boutique Hostel Cebu

I love the feeling of being annonymous in a city I've never been before. The place was so good, and the nice people around here, Specially lovely Chewee and her sister Sandra (beautiful clerks). Their were so accommodating, understanding and considerate. They after your needs and satisfaction of the place though I stayed here during pandemic but still they manage everything. I thank for all the staff who work so hard in order to reach the standards of this beautiful and nice hostel. I should pick this place again if I have to stay more days in the city I also want to tell my friends to choose this hostel for them to stay.

The place is so clean. Essentials are present: shampoo, lotion, body soap and toothbrush. There is also cabinet and TV. I love their comfort room slash bathroom. It it very nice and clean. There is a bidet for girls to clean their private part. I recommend this hotel a lot. Cleanliness is commendable.

Great location with 24/7 security. It has a coffee shop downstairs and a restaurant that serves a good steak just outside the compound. The amenities are well maintained and staff are friendly.
9 Seda Ayala Center Cebu



images
I stayed there as a non-OFW repatriate while waiting for my RT-PCR swab test results. I was impressed how smooth the transfer was from the airport to the hotel and to checking-in. I really appreciate how the staff carefully thought and prepared everything you need in the hotel room. They went the extra mile and prepared a personal hygiene kit, more than enough supplies for the night(s), and many more. Thank you for making my “mandatory quarantine” feel like home away from home.
10 Murals Hostel & Cafe - 2.5 Star



images
My friends and I checking in the Murals hostel in Cebu. We were looking for a nice and cheap hostel to stay in since we were on budget. The staff were very friendly and very welcoming. Everyone you meet always smiles and greets you. The moment you step in the hostel, you really feel at home. The place is very comfortable and very clean. The artwork in every part in the hostel is very unique. I've never seen anything like it. My friends and I maxed out the beds in one room, but there is no bathroom. The bathroom is public, but that didn't bother us at all because it was very clean. Spending the night there was very comfy because there was no noise even though there were other guests around the hostel. I highly recommend staying in Murals Hostel when you come to Cebu because not only it is very comfortable, you also get to meet people around the world. I would definitely come back here once I get the chance.
11 Seda Central Bloc Cebu

Checked in here during the pandemic season so the rates are competitive. Sophisticated hotel that has a homey feeling. Rooms are good with all the necessary things a business traveler should have. Wishing that the room toilets have bidet tho.
12 Palm Grass The Cebu Heritage Hotel



images
Provides a homey ambiance and staff are also accommodating. When we went there around 9PM for our dinner, they still accommodated us. Their desserts taste great and their rates are okay.
13 Summit Galleria Cebu



images
Where is summit Galleria Cebu?
Just two blocks from Pier 4 and 45-minutes from the airport, the hotel is conveniently poised at the corner of General Maxilom Avenue and B. Benedicto Street for outmost accessibility to all travelers. Our service team can’t wait to welcome and show you why Summit Galleria Cebu is your new home in the Queen City of the South!
14 Cebu Hilltop Hotel



images
The rooms are big. The bed is comfortable. For both I give it 4.5 stars. Service crew is 4.5 as well. Bathroom is 2.5, though.
In general, if you want to relax, this is a place I can recommend. There's a pool as well at the back. Parking is about for 10 cars, i think.
15 Sophia Suites Residence Hotel



images
The place is serene. Good for those who wants exclusivity.
16 Ola Hostel Cebu



images
We were here for a short stay with friends and the area impresses me. Aside from its location which is just near the main road, the place has also a good ambiance. Our challenge though was getting someone to open the gate for us but overall, our stay here was very good.
17 Cebu Westown Lagoon

Good place to do picnics with family and friends. Wide pools and it has a lot of nice statues to look around and it has a nice slides. The place is huge to bring a bigger family. The staffs are friendly and accomodating.

20 Shejoje Poshtel Hostel - 2 Star



images
This place is perfect for a night or two. Ellen stayed for two nights on a side trip back to Cebu City to see friends. Centrally located. 7-11 a few doors down. Capsule was clean. Bed was comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. Air conditioning worked great. Fan in capsule worked great. Workers were polite and helpful. It’s a small hostel. Most everyone was always quiet. For $9 a night, it’s just fine. You can use a small padlock to lock your capsule.
