Boutique Hotels in Cebu

"Was super busy and we always had to wait for someone at reception and for elevators. So many people for only 2-3 elevators at a time. Beach is nothing special and no available chairs because everyone puts their towels down to claim them. Okay for the money we spent but really nothing super special. Rooms need updated towels and bedding had stains."

"Our stay at Bai Hotel Cebu was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm, attentive service that set the tone for a truly refined experience. The room was elegant, spacious, and immaculately clean, offering both comfort and sophistication. Every detail reflected quality and care—from the tasteful interiors to the well-maintained facilities. The atmosphere was calm and upscale, making it perfect for rest and relaxation. Bai Hotel Cebu delivers a level of hospitality that feels premium and thoughtful, and we would gladly return for another indulgent stay."

"We stayed at the Waterfront for one night to attend the Hillsong concert, and our experience was absolutely wonderful! The room was stunning—I fell in love with its charming vintage ambiance. It was impeccably clean, beautifully scented, and wonderfully soundproof. To our delight, we were upgraded from a standard room to a Superior—thank you, Waterfront! The staff truly made our stay exceptional, especially the front desk team. Check-in and check-out were effortless, smooth, and welcoming. Breakfasts were a delight, offering a fantastic start to our day. The Wi-Fi was a bit congested, likely due to the concert that evening, but thankfully we had our backup ready—no worries there! A special shoutout to the Christmas tree—it’s absolutely breathtaking and added such a magical touch to our stay. Overall, a memorable one-night stay, and we can’t wait to return!"

"We love Nustar so much! This is probably our 5th time here! Stayed here from Nov 5 to 7 as it’s Mine and my bros bday and it was after Typhoon Tino. As always they are very accomodating, friendly and helpful and gave me a piece of cake and fruit bowl but this time I ask for a happy birthday note on the monitor for background pic for me & entire family as celebration but they keep telling me they will send someone up but no one really came from the IT department . I did expect a happy birthday greeting on the monitor it would have been very special, but I understand as maybe they are so busy and under staff because of the typhoon and instead of 2 pm check and we were able to check in very late like 5:30 pm because they’re probably under staffs but all of these did not ruin our overall stay as new star staffs are all very welcoming. We had birthday dinner in the good luck hotpot which is just inside Nustar as well. Thank you Nustar for being very welcoming , friendly and hand on chest when Greeting guest is such a Nustar trademark  please trade me a guest feel welcome and at home"

"We enjoyed our 4 nights stay in savoy,though the rooms are not that spacious,but enough to move around with luggages, the food is also tasty, everyday they have different menus,the amenities and the view, on the 18th floor is wow...you can see the landscape of cebu by day and by night..memorable indeed..we enjoyed our pool and beach time too.. we will definitely come back again, all the staffs are so nice and polite..special thanks to the feont desk Jeremy, we enjoyed our last 2 nights stay because of him."

"Very nice, spacious, and clean room. Complimentary minibar and small snacks on the first day. Beautiful view from the 15th floor, and the food at Uma restaurant was delicious with great service and not too expensive."

"Hrmmm this one is a tricky one as we had a few unexplained situations. Firstly, the hotel itself was previously a Marriot 5-Star back in the day prior to be taken over in 2018 by the Seda Group. Secondly, there is so much ongoing renovation and construction that you need to be aware of; Noise coming from New Construction, the in hotel pool is unavailable from Feb-2025 and guests must walk across the street to another organisation's pool. Unfortunately this was a deal breaker for us. The food was average with cheaper and better tasting food located just minutes away by walking through the carpark. Overall the guest lounge (located on level 12) is a bonus but is super budget, not 4-Star Material. P.S. There is no rooftop bar, only a lounge overlooking a construction site. P.S.S The House of Lechon is 5 mins by Grab which is a plus."

"We stayed in a room with a kitchen for six nights as part of a parent-child study abroad program, with two adults and a six-year-old. There was a large supermarket in the basement and a convenience store and several restaurants open until late at night on the first floor. The room was very clean and we didn't encounter any bugs. All the necessary kitchen utensils were provided, and the staff washed the dishes when they cleaned the room. There was a one-gallon water bottle, which was very helpful. However, the bed was a double, so it was a bit cramped, with no space for an extra bed. However, they provide a baby cot and a sofa, so it's manageable. There was also a washing machine, which was convenient, but the drying function was weak, so you'd need to dry your clothes on hangers. There is no separate drying function. So, if you're staying for a long time, it would be useful to have hangers for drying clothes. I had the opportunity to stay in another maisonette-style room with a kitchen, and the bed was spacious and there was a bathtub, so I recommend it. The breakfast was delicious and varied, with a wide selection of breads, Filipino dishes, Western food, and porridge, so I never got bored of it. The pool also had a great atmosphere, and although the gym by the pool is really small, it was nice that I could just go back and forth to the pool. Alcohol is also available. However, since it's on the 9th floor, it was a bit windy and a bit chilly to go in in the evenings. The staff here were all very friendly, and I had a great experience."

"The staff were so nice and accommodating. They truly cared for us when the earthquake happened on the night we were sleeping in our rooms. We used the stairs from the 5th floor post incident fearing for the aftershocks…we all stayed by the under renovation pool to stay away from the building in case it collapsed. The building swayed so much with the 6.9 magnitude..it was scary. The staff were calm and kept us all comfortable despite being scared themselves too. They helped us all moved to the 2nd floor after midnight post safety inspection."

"The staff is great from doorman, check-in to breakfast/restaurant. Very friendly and warm. They treat you with sincere respect. The rooms are very clean with amenities and towles never missing. For breakfast, they offer a wide range of food and variety. I didn't get tired even after 4 breakfasts. Location is awesome, too. Basically attached to the mall, every kind of food (Jollibee to yakiniku and high-end pancake place) is within 3-5 minute walking distance. Sugbo Mercado is 3 minutes away on foot. Simply the best in the area."
