2-Star Hotels in Cebu City

This was my first time in Cebu, and staying at Alicia Tower was a great start. It's incredibly clean, definitely a top-notch feature. The staff's attitude was also excellent; they were always willing to help with anything we needed. I really love this place and will choose it again next time! The curtains can be opened, which is a nice touch!

It was a Saturday morning when our area were scheduled for a rotational brownout. We missed the social media announcement. But, to save the day to be worthwhile, we booked in this hostel. The Front Desk was so accommodating and even gave us complimentary early check in to ease ourselves from stress. The guards at the Front was so nice, too. The location is just at the Corner Entry to Cebu Business Park coming from Hipodromo. It is very convenient and accessible. The room was decent. The AC works well. The TV was WiFi-ready. The bed was comfortable. However, the shower was broken. The water spill on the valve between the main faucet and the overhead shower. The elevation of the guest room floor and the shower floor was too thin that makes the water from the shower to spill going to the room. The window was dirty with watermarks and dust-turned-cement residues. The towel hook was also out-of-place as a hanged towel will get when you turn on the shower. I think the planning was not carefully thought of. I do not know. The plus were the refrigerator and the microwave oven. It was a good try but might not come back.

The Atmosphere The design strikes that perfect, delicate balance between rustic charm and thoughtful luxury. It doesn’t feel manufactured; it feels lived-in and deeply cared for. The Lobby: Less of a reception area and more of a grand living room. There is a massive stone fireplace that burns all day, surrounded by mismatched leather armchairs, stacks of vintage board games, and a self-serve tea station with local honey. The Lighting: You won't find a single harsh, white bulb here. Everything is soft amber, candlelight, and the amber glow of Edison bulbs, which instantly coaxes your brain into relaxation mode. The Room: A Sanctuary of Comfort The bed deserves its own dedicated review. Layered with crisp linen sheets, a heavy down comforter, and a chunky knit weighted blanket, it felt like sleeping inside a cloud. [ Window Seat with Forest View ] | [ Velvet Armchair ] ---- [ Stone Hearth / Gas Fireplace ] | [ King Bed w/ Down Comforter ] Every detail in the room was designed to slow you down: The Nook: A deep, velvet window seat packed with plush pillows, perfectly positioned to watch the morning mist roll over the tree line. The Bath: A deep, freestanding copper soaking tub. They provide small jars of handmade cedarwood and lavender bath salts that made the entire room smell like a woodland spa. The Details: No plastic water bottles or generic tech. Instead, there was a vintage-style Marshall Bluetooth speaker playing soft acoustic jazz when we walked in, a ceramic electric kettle, and freshly baked shortbread cookies waiting on a ceramic plate.

Unfortunately, I lost my necklace during my stay. I understand that I may also have made a mistake in misplacing it, and I take responsibility for that. However, I was disappointed to be informed that nothing was found, as I am certain that I last had the necklace inside the hotel room.

The room smelled of cigarettes, probably from the old air conditioning. The hotel is very old and rundown, but if you're looking for something cheap for one night, it's okay. The beds are comfortable, and there's a supermarket and various attractions nearby.

Rooms were pretty big! Only issue was with pests coming out. I had a talk with their housekeeping team about what to do so that the issue will be resolved. Hopefully they take action.

It is my second time here staying, I liked it because it is near from the location that I need to visit. The room is spacious and clean and there is free water outside our room

Good room for a short stay; we spent one night here before our flight. We requested a late checkout, which they allowed for an extra charge – very convenient! The staff is responsive and pleasant; they even brought me an iron when I asked. However, the room was dirty, the floor was terribly sticky, and there was mold. The water pressure was poor, but we were warned about that beforehand. The TV and AC both worked. The location is excellent, right by a university, which means there are many good, affordable cafes and delicious donuts nearby! All the main attractions are within walking distance.

Incredible value for money. The room is clean. It sits right in the city center, so I walked everywhere and saved a fortune on transport. Perfect if you need a clean, cheap, and highly accessible base.

The location is very accessible. But the beddings are dirty, the toilet seat seems not cleaned and the floor is very sticky.
