4-Star Hotels in Cebu City

First off, as other reviews mentioned, the lobby guard was very friendly and opened the door for us. The breakfast was decent, and the facilities were cleaner than I expected. However, this price point just doesn't feel right for a hotel in Southeast Asia, LOL. One thing that was disappointing was that the shower drain was clogged. Even after just one person showered, the water overflowed, and since there's no threshold in the bathroom, it almost flooded the bedroom/entrance area. When the second person showered, they had to turn the water off periodically. I wondered why it was clogged, and then I saw that after the first shower, the shower filter was about a third full of hair/gunk. I specifically chose this place because other hotels had reviews about hair in the drain, but this one didn't. Turns out, it was even worse here. At this level, they must be getting a lot of complaints, especially for a 5-star hotel. This should be a mandatory cleaning item every time, but it wasn't cleaned. It was astonishing that a manager had to come the next morning and clean it with a toothbrush.

We found the room to be very comfortable and peaceful, a welcome respite in a wonderfully accessible area. The reception staff were particularly welcoming and accommodating, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.

We booked for a two bedroom unit, but they gave us only one bedroom unit. We needed to pay additional fee just to be transferred to the right room which we booked. In the room, the aircon is so noisy. It blows directly to your face because it’s just beside the bed. You either turn it off to avoid the noise and the inconvenience brought by direct blowing of the aircon on your face or suffer from too much heat. It was so uncomfortable. There is no rug and broom provided. We booked for five nights and the room become very dirty because there is no broom and rug provided for the room.

It's quite close to the airport, about a 10-20 minute taxi ride. The room decor is decent, but the facilities are really poor. The water pressure is very low, and the floor drain was clogged. The hotel is quite hidden in an area similar to a domestic shopping street. You can get there by walking through some shops, but there's a gate with access control, so security should be okay. It's not in an isolated area. The room window isn't soundproof at all, facing directly onto the street, and the noise woke me up... 😂

The rooms at 88th Avenue are spacious and comfortable, offering plenty of space to relax. The gym is surprisingly well-equipped and definitely one of the highlights of the property. The main downside is the lack of a swimming pool, which some travelers might miss. Overall, it’s a good option for a short stay of a few nights, especially if you value room size and a solid gym.

The location of the hotel is generally good, relatively close to Ayala and IT Park. There is a small parking lot in front of the building, which is very convenient. If you want to buy something, you have to go to Ayala and walk there. It's a little far from the airport, so reserve time in advance.

Super nice hotel, great breakfast, nice pool. The service at the hotel was very pleasant. The rooms are clean, comfortable and very well designed. The big balcony with view to the pool was the highlight. What we liked most was the quiet environment
