Days Cebu Mactan

The location feels a little eerie at night, though it's fine in the daytime and close to nature, if you know what I mean. The room was clean and spacious, with a fridge, microwave, and shower water heater. My husband's nose is very sensitive and he sneezes right away in dusty rooms, but he didn't react here. The service was great. We booked the wrong dates, and the person in charge let us change them even though Agoda showed the booking as non-modifiable.

Great value, cheerful staff, and a handy spot near the airport.

It's very close to the airport and easy to reach by taxi. The staff are helpful, and you can get documents printed at reception for a reasonable price. You get what you pay for. The building is old and a bit run down, and the bedding isn't very nice. Soap is the only toiletry provided. Breakfast at the restaurant in front is free, but keep expectations low: it's basic toast, eggs, ham, and artificial juice.

The price and proximity to the airport were the only real positives. The rooms were old, and though the bathrooms were a decent size, the floor was always wet. The showers weren't enclosed and faced the sink and toilet. There was a power outage the day I arrived, and the place got very hot. The complimentary breakfast wasn't really free unless you were satisfied with one egg and toast. Coffee, tea, extra eggs, and anything else came with a price list. Someone was available around the clock, but they didn't seem very interested in answering questions. When we asked the front desk to arrange a taxi, she called a friend who charged us twice what a metered white taxi had charged to bring us from the airport.
