3-Star Hotels in Central Visayas, Philippines

The hotel is a 10-minute drive from the airport, not noisy, and the bed and pillows are comfortable. It's fine for 1-2 nights. The bathroom doesn't have a separate shower, so the floor gets all wet after a shower 😕. There was no toilet paper, and you have to ask at reception for the TV remote! Next to the hotel, there are sports outlet stores from brands that left Russia, and lots of cafes. It's a lively neighborhood.

My family and I recently completed a 4-day stay at the Amber Hotel, booking three rooms. This was our third time choosing this hotel, and it’s easy to see why we keep coming back. The Highlights: Location and Service The hotel’s biggest asset is, without a doubt, its location. It’s incredibly convenient for exploring Cebu City and accessing various tourist spots. The staff, as always, were a standout. They are genuinely accommodating and responsive; any issues we raised were addressed in a timely and courteous manner. This consistent, warm hospitality is a major reason we return. Another consistent highlight is the breakfast. We love the wide array of Filipino breakfast delicacies on offer, it’s a fantastic way to start the day and a real taste of home or a treat for visitors wanting to experience local flavors. Areas for Improvement: A Couple of Minor Annoyances While our overall experience was positive, there were two recurring issues we hope the management can address: 1. No Complimentary Slippers: This is a small but noticeable miss. In my experience traveling across the Philippines, this is the only hotel that doesn't provide in-room slippers. For guests, having slippers is not just about comfort but also about basic hygiene, allowing us to avoid wearing outdoor shoes inside the room. When we asked, we were told we could purchase them, which feels out of step with the standard amenities offered by other hotels in this category. 2. Bathroom Drainage Issue: There's a persistent problem with the shower drainage. During a shower, the water doesn't drain quickly enough and overflows, spreading across the bathroom floor and around the toilet bowl. We did report this, and the staff responded by removing the metal drain cover, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the issue remains, and the entire toilet area still gets wet after every shower. Final Verdict: Still a Solid Recommendation Despite these minor drawbacks, I would still highly recommend the Amber Hotel. The prime location, the genuinely hospitable staff, and the delicious breakfast far outweigh the negatives. It remains a solid and reliable choice for families and travelers alike. We will likely be back for a fourth stay and hope to see these small issues resolved.

Location and price thumbs up, mattress very soft hence bad for oldies like me or those with sensitive back. Cleanliness/staffs' helpfulness:👍. Water pressure/shower floor area a bit poor/uneven/slight water pooling. Air conditioning: good, WiFi passed. Overall acceptable still for what you are paying, stayed 3 nights, give and take nothing to complaint. First room was bright fronting main road but no wardrobe, I requested to change to another room with wardrobe and the staffs were helpful, thanks Dorothy and Cyrus. Easy going people should have no issue staying here, but for those who are particular or fussy; not recommended.

Ambience: good ambience, peaceful, seems an expensive hotel. Check in check out: slow process. Does not take into consideration the time of the client. Call the front desk a head of time before checking out to hasten. The receptionist is not welcoming, not courteous. Rooms: exceptional! The view at 1210 was superb! All amenities were working. Clean room. The shower gel was watered down. The wifi was very slow almost unserviceable. Food: The only thing that pulls the hotel down. Food was mediocre; kept repeating the menu, taste like carinderia. Nothing special. They keep on providing processed food in the menu, ice bucket was not sturdy enough, they cant provide tongs. Condiments not available readily. It seems that they are cost cutting. Staff: said earlier guest are not very courteous. Overall: will go back for sure but we hope there will be improvements.

Comfortable beds, lovely 2 bedroom apartment. The pool is beautiful. There is a swim up bar, but no one is there. There is a bar onsite, but it’s not really “open”. It isn’t staffed, I had to call to get someone to come up, and I don’t think there’s drinks actually there, as Yvette had to go downstairs to get my beers. She was lovely though, she chatted to me while I had a beer. The room has tea and coffee, toothbrush/paste set. We were the only guests there, so it was very quiet. It’s a massive, cool hotel. Overall a great stay!

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is extremely convenient, as it is close to the airport, which makes it perfect for travelers with early or late flights. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The bed was cozy, and the room had all the basic amenities I needed for a short stay. Cleanliness was clearly a priority, which I really appreciated. The staff were friendly, professional, and very helpful. They assisted me quickly with check-in and were always willing to help with any questions. Their hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable. The hotel offers great value for money. Considering the location, service, and comfort, the price was very reasonable. The airport shuttle service was also very convenient and saved a lot of time. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, affordable, and airport-friendly place to stay. I would definitely stay here again.

This my second time staying in Bayfront. The staff are very warm and helpful. Cleanliness is top notch. Rooms are spacious and tidy. Delicious breakfast everytime. Lovely roof deck pool. Location is superb.

Booked this hotel as it provided free pick up from airport after we arrive past midnight. However, due to our flight delay by an hour, we couldn't locate the driver despite attempting to look around and walking around at the arrival area for 15-20mins. We ended up booking our own transport over and was told by the hotel that the driver was waiting for us at the airport. There was no way for me to contact the driver - I've attempted to contacted the hotel via WhatsApp and email without a reply which I suppose is fair since it was around 2.30am. Nevertheless, other than this, the service was decent. Room was old but spacious.

This hotel is very convenient for a stop over before or after flying. We messaged them on WhatsApp and they picked us up from the airport for free. The room is cosy and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was good too. I would recommend.

The place was nice, tv, wifi, hot shower, all are working perfectly fine, but couldve done better if theres a complimentary bottled water as you know once travelers arrived, what they are looking at in rooms are free bottled water, this is the only place Ive been to that doesnt have free bottled water but everything is good except for that, however I would still like to book at another time and would recommend this inn to stay.
