Top Downtown Cebu Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu

8/10 Good

"Overall great stay. The only issue is the musty odor since its humid."

Amber Hotel - Cebu

8/10 Good

"Cons: i booked 4 rooms for our family but the rooms were on different floors which was quite inconvenient due to restrictions on key card access to different floors. We have to ask staff for access to other floors to visit our family. The toiletries and some towels were in complete upon check in. Pros: great rooftop bar and resto on the ground floor. Nice lobby. They were able to accommodate bag storage. Location was very central and convenient."

Seda Ayala Center Cebu City

8/10 Good

"A Good 6-Night Stay for Shopping I stayed here for 6 nights and had a good experience overall. The location is excellent if you are looking to do some shopping, and the staff were absolutely amazing throughout my stay. The property itself is pretty old, and the carpet in the hallway was quite dirty, which needs some attention. However, the room was decent and the breakfast was decent as well. It is a good choice if you want a great location and friendly service, despite the older facilities."

Fairfield By Marriott Cebu Mactan

10/10 Excellent

"The staff from room staff to honey in the restaurant dining were all so amazing. Asking for little things where never a problem and they new how to treat all there customers with excellent customer service. 15/10. Will definitely come back. Thank you to the staff each and every one of you."
