Cebu City Hotels with Bars

Thank you, Fili Hotel at NUSTAR Cebu, for making my mom’s 66th birthday truly unforgettable. From the warm welcome, birthday cake, and room upgrade to your exceptional hospitality, every detail made our family feel so special. It was a beautiful and memorable staycation for our senior parents and their grandkids. We’ll always treasure this experience.

Stayed at Holiday Inn Cebu for a short night before an early departure, and it was a pleasant experience. Despite arriving after midnight, we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. The room was new, clean, spacious, and very comfortable—especially the pillows, which made for a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was good, although a wider variety of options would make it even better. We didn’t get much time to explore the hotel’s facilities as we checked out early the next morning, but we’d definitely love to return and stay here again.

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.

Occasion: Family trip (my wife, 2-year-old, and I, totaling 3 people). I booked this hotel because I wanted a luxurious stay near the airport where we could relax. Location: It's about a 20-minute taxi ride from the airport, and having a shopping mall right next door was a big plus. However, outside of the mall's operating hours, there's nothing else around, and I felt a bit concerned about safety walking around at night, so that's something to be aware of. Food: The breakfast was a lavish buffet with a great selection of Japanese, Western, Chinese, and Filipino dishes. The variety of cheeses and sweets was abundant and delicious. Service: Everyone was incredibly kind, and their service towards my child was particularly outstanding. Their responses to my inquiries before arrival were also prompt, which put my mind at ease. Room: It was clean and spacious enough. There were outlets conveniently located by the bed. There wasn't a bathtub, and the room's ambiance felt more suited for a business trip, in which case it would be perfectly satisfactory. Personal opinion: I would recommend this hotel to couples visiting Cebu for the first time. For families, I felt that a few more recreational options within the hotel would be nice. However, breakfast was thoroughly enjoyable for families too.

Overall, I had a good stay, but there are a few points I want to mention. The bedsheets didn't look completely clean, and there was dust on both the countertop and the floor. The windows were also quite dirty. On the plus side, the amenities were great; my kids loved the pool, and the food was excellent.

Marco Polo Plaza, Cebu Review Here is a two-paragraph review that balances the atmosphere of the hotel with the quality of the service: We had a wonderful stay at the Marco Polo Plaza. The hotel offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the views from the Nivel Hills are absolutely stunning. Our room was clean, spacious, and provided the perfect environment for a relaxing getaway. What really stood out, however, was the exceptional service. The staff were incredibly professional and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable throughout our visit. From the delicious breakfast buffet to the well-maintained pool area, everything exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be returning!

Toilet flush is not working well. My 3 nights stayed have to call for maintenance almost everyday. The room is facing East..morning sun is very strong and sun is up at 5:30am. Suggest to upgrade 'Blackout window curtains'

Great stay overall. The staff were faultless throughout, and the cleaning team did an excellent job. The room was very spacious, quiet, and had a great view, and the café food was consistently good. The location was also convenient. The only downside was the WiFi, which was practically non-existent despite staff providing multiple logins to try, and the bathroom tended to flood after showering, which seems fairly common in hotels in Cebu.

The staff were very kind, helping with luggage and showing me where to refill my water bottle. As for the bathroom, there's no shower curtain, but the water pressure isn't strong enough for water to splash everywhere. It was a bit of a shame to see some small rust spots, though.

We stayed mainly for the sky attraction. Based on past reviews, I was worried about issues like no hot water, but the shower worked fine and the room exceeded my expectations for the price. I would definitely like to stay again :)
