“soo..soo..pension house”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 28, 2012

The room is just ok... its affordable for budget traveller. no hot shower and elevator. so be ready to sweat off if ur located in highest floor. The location is just ok, walking distance to ayala mall. very quite at night since its not located in busy area...this pension is just like a house, in short ur like a boarders! Im not sure if they have curfew time... But if ur looking for cheap pension house, u can check this one.

Room Tip: Book a room 1st or 2nd floor!

“Great for budget travellers”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 15, 2012

I really liked this place in Cebu. The rooms are pretty clean and there is free wifi available. The hotel is only a 3 minute walk away from the Ayala mall.

Price/ quality is good. So no complaints at all.

“Average place to stay for budget tight travel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2011

The place is quite old; I think the 1st and the second floors are residential because it says there private. I was confused when I entered the lobby, there are no signs where to go or directions to your room assigned and all that I see is “private, no entry”. The lobby is small and the ambience is so gloomy, it’s not so welcoming on my part. Mr. Receptionist was nice and accommodating though.

Our room was on the 4th floor, no elevators, so we have to take the stairs. The room was okay, well lighted, and has large windows which I like. The bathroom is so small, there’s not much room to move around when you take a bath, and when sitting the toilet, it’s like having face-to-face to the wall in front of you. They have 'hot or cold shower though. I’m not that impressed with the room but it was spacious though, the linens and towels look okay. I requested for new towels the next day, I was dismayed when I checked it they handed a towel which is a bit damp or not completely dry. They have cable TV, but remember to ask for the remote control from the receptionist. The place has no wifi too.

The place is just a walking distance from Ayala center, and about 40-50 minutes taxi ride to the airport. If you travel alone, I suggest you take a taxi and not walk going there because the area nearby at night is so dark which I think it’s more prone to accidents and robbery.

And one last thing I notice is that, outside the entrance area, the garbage stinks a lot. I didn’t know where that comes from.

I’ll probably stay here again if I’m on tight budget.

Room Tip: no elevators, getting a room on the 5th floor might be very tedious specially when your tired to cli...

“Old and dreary and depressing.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed June 13, 2011

The place could use a facelift or at least some white paint to brighten it up. The first room I occupied on the ground floor was affected by an annoying regular loud and strange electronic noise. I was offered a better room up 4 floor flights of stairs, but at least it had windows with plenrty of light. Sitting on the toilet meant facing the wall inches away. Unlike most Filipinos, management are not particularly engaging or friendly. No free wifi.

“Everything seems to be so old”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2011

building is old, rooms are old, towels, linens, everything is old. If you are the type who likes vintage accomodation, here's your place. walking distance from ayala mall, coffee shops etc. when we arrive at 1am after some night out with friends, the lobby is already closed, you had to knock and wake the guard up. they are super strict in terms of visitors. you can find other better pension house/hotel at the same price, for sure.
