Where to stay in Cebu City?
We recommend hotels near to Ayala Center Mall and Terraces, I.T. Park, SM City Mall Cebu City, and Madaue City, where there is already a concentration of quality 3 star to 5 star Hotels and Premium High-Rise Condo’s. International tourists prefer those areas because of the appealing location, business friendly hotels with fast reliable WIFI and the cosmopolitan vibe.
This area in Cebu is also conveniently located near to a good selection of reputable money changers at I.T. Park, Fuente Osmeña Circle, Mango Square and inside SM City Mall, all just a very walk or short taxi ride away, including 24 hour Money Changers.
Daily Rates in Cebu for hotels-hostels, apartments-house, bamboo beach house-cottage and resorts don’t fluctuate a great deal any time of the year, although hotel prices will be higher during Festivals, Christmas and Cebu City Sinulog 3rd Sunday of every January. In fact the whole of this month and the build-up to Sinulog is particular in demand for hotels in Cebu City and the Cebu Provinces, certain hotel properties require advance payment for stays on or around Sinulog in Cebu Cebu
Major Cebu City hotels may ask you at check-in for a credit card to guarantee extra purchases from the mini bar or hotel restaurant and bar, always opt for cash deposit at check-in, the standard amount is Philippine PESOS ₱1000 to ₱2000, some hotels its mandatory for a cash deposit per stay, and although it’s perfectly legitimate for the hotel to request a cash deposit. If you smash a glass, loose a hanger or damage any item it will be deducted from the cash deposit up on check-out. If you wish to check-in early at your hotel in Cebu on the day, depending on the individual hotel, the standard check-in time is from 2 PM, 3 PM or 4 PM, the hotel may charge anything from Philippine PESOS ₱500 to ₱1000 for early check-in, additional charges will normally apply for room extras, including extra bed, mattress foam, or baby cot/crib, price varies depending on the hotel property
If your heading to one Cebu’s beach or dive resorts for example Moalboal South of Cebu City without prior hotel reservation, certain independent guest houses, hostels, and beach cottages may not be listed to book online, or may be contacted by social media or phone only for initial reservation. Some international backpackers, larger groups, and Filipino families don’t seem to mind and prefer to organize last minute budget friendly accommodation on arrival into Moalboal, particularly if your familiar with the area. Moalboal beach and dive resorts are somewhat of a distance at 6.5 km from central Moalboal and the main bus terminal. Most backpackers, and some tourists without own transport will hire a scooter by the day or week, or will make use of motorcycle-scooter-habal-habal or motorized shared tricycle cab
More established 3 to 4 star in Cebu and beach front hotel resorts, will be more expensive for multiple rooms and larger groups. Most 3 to 4 star hotels in Cebu will charge ₱600 to ₱1200 for each additional person, compared to other budget accommodation, that’s why budget style guest houses, hostels, and beach cottages are very popular with backpackers, families and groups in Cebu, because they are flexible in accommodating exta guests in the same room, offering extra mattress foam on the floor space, although each additional person will be expected to pay around ₱250 to ₱350 per night. More often in backpacker style hostels and family accommodation in Cebu, will often already be furnished with multiple bunk beds or single beds in each room for a fixed price
Tip! Save time at hotel check-in and pre-print you passport ID page or official ID for all check-in guests
