Rio (1/5): -
Raizza (10/5): - Water pressure 🔅
Yu-Hsiang (10/5): -
Eve.reme (10/5): - The apartment was really spacious. And I love the ambiance.
Adrian (8/5): - Staff and security was good
Roberto (9/5): -
Victor (10/5): Great and comfortable place. - Many things the size of the unit. Comfortable and had everything you could want. WiFi wasn’t working as expected but seems could be an easy fix by upgrading the router
Michael (10/5): It was relaxing and homey. - They are pet friendly. I hope they will allow medium or large size dogs.
Stephen (9/5): Great Apartment for our family of 5 - This 3 Bedroom apartment was perfect for our 3 night stay in Cebu with our 3 adult daughters. The rooms were comfortable with air con in each room and a well equipped kitchenette. It was a quiet location, with a shopping centre a 5 min walk away and also an easy walk to "Street scape" where there were lots of food options. The Montebello Hotel was just across the road and we were able to go in there and pay for a day pass to use the pool (approx $12) and they had live music on a Thur & Fri night so we stayed for drinks and food one night which was very good. There was a 1500 peso security bond which was fine, but we couldn't put this on our credit card and it had to be paid in cash. This was not a big deal but as it was the end of our trip we were then left with excess peso's when we checked out and the bond was returned. Luckily one of our daughters was continuing her travels in the Philippines and was able to take the cash, but just something to be aware of
Jan (9/5): Superb -
Yalta (10/5): Exceptional -
Nemie (10/5): It was our first time to have a staycation for Christmas eve, since we are from Cebu City only. It was all worth it. - The unit was very spacious. Though the building is old, the unit is very well maintained - very clean and neat.
Joseph (10/5): - This is not a hotel. I loved it for that. This is an incredible experience, super spacious and comfortable apartment. Well maintained and close to shopping options ant transportation. We will definitely book here again.
Rufino (10/5): Excellent! - The place is so serene & it is such a haven where utmost comfort have been experienced along w/ my family & sibling's family. It was an enjoyable stay. It feels like we are in the Manila Hotel in Intramuros. We will visit again sometime soon in this wonderful place.
Donley (8/5): It was the perfect property for our stay; Location was great between Busay and Lapu Lapu. - The suite set up with the separate rooms and kitchen. Perfect for groups that want to be together but have breathing room. Perfect for families! Loved the water cooler and good air conditioning! Larger hot water capacity needed as well as a stopper for the sink. Needs updates (fresh paint), etc.
Joveliano (8/5): - Lovely staff
Joveliano (10/5): - Staff is friendly and attentive. Felt very safe walking around. The two bedroom suites are very comfortable.
Latif (10/5): Exceptional -
Gina (10/5): Exceptional - Good staff and accommodating 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Edelwina (9/5): All in all it was very good. We like the location and the unit was very spacious. - The location was very convenient. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Water pressure in the bathrooms.
Kate (10/5): Exceptional -
Hirotoshi (8/5): i think i want to go again. - unfortunately there is no breakfast i forgot my small wallet if so could you please save it until the next time you go. the contents are about 200yen in japanese yen.
Kevin (10/5): Excellent, comfortable, and true to how it is advertised - Staff was very friendly and helpful
Mark (8/5): Very good -
Adrian (8/5): Very good -
Wh63 (5/5): Nice interior - big room - very friendly stuff, but the sanitary rooms need urgent renovation. - Super friendly stuff, nearby is the mall, very big apartment with nice furniture The bath and the toilets. One bathtub was defect, the other one had no warm water. The staff came 3 times, then we had warm water, but the water jet was really weak, it takes very long to fill the bathtub (More than 1 hour). Both bidet showers on the toilets didnt work properly, only drops came out. All the fittings were heavily calcified. Maybe we only had bad luck with our room (702)
Kenneth (9/5): Superb - Staff were excellent and very flexible when we had a payment issue with a credit card. Main bedroom had a small balcony with a great view. Lots of restaurants (mostly Korean and Japanese) and supermarket nearby, also easy to order food deliveries. As the room has a fairly well equipped kitchen, microwave, gas oven and toaster grill, large refrigerator, this is definitely recommended as a longer stay option and for families. Good wifi connection and large TV in lounge area. Both bedrooms had en suite facilities and the master bedroom's bathroom was very spacious, with bath and shower. Lots of cupboard space too. Guests can use the excellent paid pool facilities at the neighbouring Montebello Villa property, and pool fee comes with F&B consumables (great menu selection and service). Payment system was a bit complicated (need to add GCash system!) but staff (esp Monette) were patient and superhelpful. Signage could be improved to help locate the building, we found existing sign a bit confusing esp when arriving at night.
Ichinkhorloo (4/5): Disappointing - It is informed that there is a washing machine in the room. But actually nothing in the room.
Nigel (10/5): The location was good, staff were just satisfactory. Need to check all equipment on taking possession of the premises - The location was good and everything was just great We were told that we took one fork and had to pay for it which was just about crazy. It’s our fault as we didn’t check what was in the room when we went to stay. We didn’t bother and didn’t even know what was supposed to be in there for cutlery
Jonah (10/5): FANTASTIC! - personalised service. Monet and other receptionist are always at hand. The property is ageing but well maintained and always clean. Size is also great and love the decor!
Annielyn (8/5): - Hotel is nice and clean
Jud (10/5): - Great for families!
Glenn (9/5): Superb -
Marius (8/5): Comfortable stay in residence type unit - Spacious, good reception support, facilities for cooking in place. Location a bit hard to find by taxis. Nearby shopping center is old with some questionable restaurants.
Reuben (9/5): Superb -

Slobodan (10/5): Amazing staff. Monnete is wonderful and Luis. Security very friendly. Thank you all so much - Spacious Outdated

Rondie (10/5): Exceptional -
Diana (9/5): good stay! will come back - very homey some amenities were not available like the rice cooker but they were kind enough to lend us another one.. dispenser was not working for hot and cold
Howard (10/5): Exceptional - Very spacious, close within walking distance of country mall, clean linen every othet day. No dislikes
Jim (8/5): Very good - Nice big apartment. Close to a mall. Just seemed a little old. Needs a modern look.
David (9/5): Superb -
Dean (10/5): excellent will stay again. - This 2-bedroom apartment was beautiful, spacious, comfortable with everything you need to cook your own meals. It had 2 bathrooms and toilets. Fresh water was supplied by the way of a water cooling and heating machine included in the price. Staff were very friendly and helpful and respected your privacy. For the price of around 120 AUD per night this is far better accommodation than any hotel 4 or 5 star you could stay at. I also extended my stay, and the manager gave me a discounted price. 2 grocery stores and a large department store is only a quick 5-minute walk and plenty of restaurants, Jollibee, hairdressers, pharmacy all close by. Fantastic stay!!! There was nothing to complain about.
Maria (9/5): Comfort and the location - Everything Nothing
Andrew (10/5): Home away from home, perfect for a long stay - Very nice clean, spacious, upscale property in an upscale neighborhood, behind a mall with access to all. Friendly, accommodating staff, lots of a/c, and a great kitchen some outdated fixtures, but no complaints.
