Bedding stained with brown spots and smelled so bad. Glasses stained and dirty. Was bitten by something many time during the night. pillows smelled. Only the bathroom was clean. Rest of the place was dusty and dirty. Bathroom was updated and Clean. Food poor quality, too salty to eat. Worse than street food. Thank goodness for the 7-11 next door.

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. I chose this hotel primarily because of its location, it's a few steps away from everything (Basilica del Sto. Nino, Magellan's Cross,La Fortuna Bakeshop, 7-11, Islands Souvenir etc.). The room is small but clean with very basic amenities. They have a cafe on the second floor. I tried having breakfast there but... More

The price and location seemed right, so we booked this hotel. The location is right across from the Santo Nino Basilica and Magellan's Cross, so it was easy to see these two major sites of Cebu. And there seems to be a constant queue of taxis out front to take you anywhere else you want to go. But location isn't... More

Thank you for your very valuable inputs about our hotel. We will surely inform and remind our front desk to be more friendly and accommodating to all our guests. About the wifi, this add-on service was originally intended for front desk but we decided to extend the service to our guests. We will address this concern with Management. The water... More

My friend & I checked into this hotel ad we were looking for a budget priced hotel. Only stayed one night. An old & tired room was what we got for our 1000 pesos. The beds although comfortable were covered in old brown (once white) sheets. No blankets but you don't need them with the heat. The room was small,... More

I booked here because I have previously stayed at their other building - JRG suites - and I thought I would try Plaza Garcia as it would be good to see another part of Cebu. When I first got there I was pleasantly suprised to see the rooms are bigger than JRG. After having a wander around the area I... More

Everytime I visit Cebu, It's always be the main purpose to go Basilica Church to visit Sr. Santo Nino. Since I was a kid, Sto. Nino will always be the main part of our cebu trip. Our day won't complete without visiting to the Sr. Santo Nino image and attend mass. So staying in here is really an excellent choice.... More

We booked a matrimonial room good for 2 persons. The room is very basic with towels, hangers, cabinet, tv and air-condition. They only provide small soap so you should bring your own toothpaste and shampoo. The room was spacious and has a good view from the glass window overlooking the Sto. Nino Church and the City Hall. The room look... More
