Yellow Umbrella Hostels
9.2 (102 reviews)

Yellow Umbrella Hostels ★★★

📍 101 Ramon, Eduardo Aboitiz St, Cebu City

"The best thing is that they provide towel for just some refundable deposit and no actual cost. Never seen such effectively free towel service in any hostels anywhere. Robinsons Fuente mall is the main landmark to locate this hostel. The staff is courteous, smiling and professional. They have a kitchen downstairs where you can cook your food and/or use the utensils microwave etc. The actual dorm room looks kinda compact with 6 bunk beds, but it was ok. The staff should remind the lower bed guests to keep their bags shoes & stuff properly, they were scattered all over the floor. There is only one toilet & one shower in dorm room. However, the staff told me that we can use the toilet & shower situated downstairs in the kitchen. They have lockers outside the dorm room which you can use with your lock. There is also a mini library outside the dorm. A nice open bar at their entrance. The only problem is there are many roosters in the compound which keep crowing day & night nonstop. Never seen such nonstop crowing roosters in my life!"

Alicia Tower Residences ★★

📍 Gov M Cuenco Avenue, Banilad, Cebu City

"Well, for one, the price is really low and the location is really good - just walking distance from Gaisano Country Mall and Robinson's Supermarket. There was a canteen at the ground floor so you can enjoy some sort of home-cooked meals instead of eating out. There is a billiard table and table tennis table as well and you can borrow paddles and balls to play. The only thing is this place really has a prison vibe as its structure is similar to the prisons in American movies. Also, this is the only hotel where the front desk takes lunch break. lol lol But anyway, the hotel is really good for its price."

Castle Peak Hotel Hotels in Cebu

Castle Peak Hotel

"Our family had a wonderful stay at Castle Peak Hotel. From check-in to check-out, the staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to assist with our needs. What truly stood out during our stay was the exceptional customer service. We had planned an early morning swim, and the hotel staff went above and beyond by opening the pool earlier than the regular schedule for our group. This thoughtful gesture was greatly appreciated and made our experience even more special. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the facilities were well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Small acts of kindness like the extra effort made by the staff show how much they value their guests. Thank you to the entire Castle Peak Hotel team for making our stay enjoyable and memorable. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cebu and look forward to staying here again in the future."

Yellow Umbrella Hostels ★★★
"Highly recommend this hostel! The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly. It has its own amazing bar with a fantastic atmosphere; chatting and drinking with friends from all over the world in the evenings was especially enjoyable. Best of all, the room air conditioning is powerful, and the location is surprisingly quiet despite being in a noisy area, making for a wonderful experience. I'll definitely stay here again next time! Thanks to Elvie, Lovely and Maricel This stay was fantastic! A special thank you to the staff, Elvie, Lovely, and Maricel; they were not only professional but also incredibly warm and friendly, always with a heartwarming smile. The hostel's facilities were excellent—comfortable air conditioning, quiet accommodations, and a great bar—but it was the high-quality service from these three that truly impressed me!"

"Considering the price, it was a clean and pleasant stay. There were no inconveniences at all as restaurants, shops, and a mall were all within a 10-minute walk. However, the bathroom drain was a bit slow, which was a minor issue."

Mercure Mactan Cebu ★★★★
"The air conditioner wasn't working properly, but after notifying the front desk, it was promptly fixed. The upside is that it's recommended if you're heading to the airport the next day, but it's too out of the way if you plan on continuing your travels."

"The only reason I rent this place was to be able to work at the common space, I had a very important meeting at night my the security wouldn’t let me stay to have my meeting because he said it was too late… it had no one there, place was very empty and I really needed to do this meeting and I felt very humiliated and disrespected, other than that the place is okay"

"The place is pleasant to stay, the staff are friendly and very accommodating that is why i love staying at their place. This is the 2nd time i booked the same reservations and same room type but this time i was placed on the 7th floor which is 3 floors higher than the old one we reserved. The view is also great this time as we wake up with the city view scenery. I hope to experience the 8th floor next time :) I recommend this hotel to families or couples who wish to stay comfortably but at a very reasonable price. Cheers 🥂"
