Red Planet Cebu

Security was well-maintained. The facilities were great, with strong water pressure in the shower and a hairdryer provided. The retractable shelf next to the bed was also convenient.

A small, spartan room but impeccable, clean service, and best of all, just a stone's throw from a huge mall.

The location is great, just a short walk from Ayala Mall. However, the shower pressure was low, and I found two small cockroaches in the room.

A transit hotel before heading to Siquijor to live like a local, conveniently located near the Cebu business district. Snorkeling in the morning, relaxing on the beach in the afternoon, and then a leisurely stroll after dinner as the 'blue hour' sets in, watching various hermit crabs along the way – that's a daily ritual.

I regret not reading the reviews before booking. This is an old hotel. The bedding had holes in places. The air conditioner was incredibly noisy, making it impossible to sleep at night. The road nearby was also very loud, with motorcycles revving loudly all night long. It felt like the window was open and all the noise was coming right into the room. It's better to spend a little more money and get a peaceful night's sleep.
