I was very satisfied with my entire stay at mayflower inn because of its clean room and beddings, very good accommodation and commendable security. I will definitely recommend mayflower inn to my relatives and friends.

My self and my fiance stayed at the mayflower in for 4 days, after a friend recomended it , i was a bit worried what it would be like when i saw how cheap it was ! but i was pleasantly suprised ! after 4 days at the mayflower inn , we then went to bohol to see the tarsia monkeys ! and bohol island for 4 days WOW ,amazing place ,go there ! we then returned to cebu and stayed for another 4 days in the mayflower in before going to the northern philippines . the mayflower in looked like it had just been renovated , it had good air conditioning , a fire detection system , good fast lift ,but most of all ,the rooms were bright , nice colors , very,! very ! clean ,with nice clean sheets ,towels etc and good pillows.
There was also a kelvinator air conditioner , cable tv , and one of the best bathrooms ,in any hotel i have stayed in asia. or the philippines,with the best hot cold shower , ! really the only thing i could complain about was , there was no refridgerator , and the bed squeaked a little ! apart from that I HAVE STAYED IN 5 STAR HOTELS THAT ARE NOT AS CLEAN AND FRIENDLY , AS THE MAYFLOWER INN .
the staff were helpful and friendly and honest ! and the security was excellent , they were helpful gettind taxi's ,opening the door , and helping with luggage , they even recorded the taxi's ID ,when you left to go out & advising us were and were not to go !
There was a beautiful indoor garden ,with a lovely fish pond etc ,next to the resturant , and the food allthough basic was cheap at 85 peso per serve , rice ,chicken,pork,fish etc. Doris the lady chef was friendly , allways smiling and made us welcome as if in her own home ,and her home style filipino cooking was really good ,the resturant had wi fi for internet , and a laptop for free calls to usa and some other countries. and free newspapers.
There was a good bakery a few doors down and it was close by taxi to allyura mall and places like jolli bee , etc. and central to cebu , ferry's and airport. unlike mactan.
we stayed on the ground floor room 1008 ? and allthough there was no view out the window ,there was a small pleasant garden. next time we stayed on the 3rd floor room 307 ? and the room was just as good ,each room had a double and a single bed., but upstairs ,the view was only out over other buildings , but your not paying for a view ! lol .
just for the record , i have no association with the mayflower inn , but after 6 weeks travelling in the philippines from south to north ,for the second time ! the mayflower was really comfortable , very clean , and friendly ! and had the" best shower" and one of the best ,out of all the places we stayed , from NO STAR TO 5 STAR !...Ric from AUSTRALIA.

the room is okay. the food in the restaurant area is not worth the money and the service isn't great. they adver tise 400 peso rooms but they actually charge around 800 peso, or at least thats what happened to me. I thought i was all paid up when i booked the room for two nights, but upon check out they hit me with another 800 peso bill. i thought it was 800 for 2 nights which they advertise on the internet but that was not the case in this instance. on top of that they tried to charge me another 300 pesos because i had a friend come and visit me for 2 hours during the day. they didnt say anything about a charge when she came in and then tried to get me to pay it 2 days later when i checked out. needless to say these money issues ruined the stay for me. before that came up i would have recommended it, but now i will never stay there again. the rooms arent all that bad, but make sure you know what you're paying for and be on the look out for hidden fees.

This might be a long review bacause of my years of experience at Mayflower since 2003. My mother-in-law stumbled at this pension house because of it's cheap rate. And I'm glad she did. Before, they had an old somewhat dilapidated building. But we managed to stay and bear with them. Sure, we can afford to stay at a much nicer place but their staff amazes us. Even if the building was old, but still they managed to keep it clean. Of our frequent stay, we never saw any insects, we saw some ants, but hey, it was our fault because we usually brought foods in our room. It was even better before that they had an old building, how much more now that they have a totally new building. I don't have the chance yet to stay at their new building, but I'm looking forward to.

I can't say enough about their staff. They never once disappointed me. I usually travel with my husband and 2 kids with my husbands family and my own family to go shopping in Cebu so we needed a cheap place to stay. My husband and I are both filipinos, but still they treated us the same courtesy as what the foriegners received. I've read a lot of reviews in a hotel that filipinos are sometimes discriminated thinking that the foriegners will give more tips.

One time, our boat arrived at 5 AM so I informed Maylower that we will be there. Yet, they managed to prepare our room and we got to go straight ahead and rest for the day without even an extra charge. It bothers me until now that I didn't thought to give a tip to that staff.

I have my choice of room there, so I will always want that room when I'll stay. If the room isn't available, they will give us another room, still of our choice, and by the time our choice of room was ready they will transfer us carrying all our luggage.

When my oldest daughter had a little accident. The staff ran to us, another staff ran to get some ice. They were all concern.

Before, they had a promo, a free breakfast. We didn't know that the breakfast was only up to 9 AM. My husband and I usually ate our breakfast there at 10 or 11 AM. But still they served us and even did not inform us. Until it frequently happened, the cook decided to already let us know haha.

They cleaned and boiled my daughters nursing bottle and gave us warm water everyday for a little service charge that made you wish you will give them more.

Sometimes, I will go to their kitchen and chat with the cook and made me learn about their own lives.

They will call us Maam and Sir even if we are far younger than them which made us uncomfortable and just informed them that we prefered to be called at our first names.

Checking out was always pleasant and breaks our hearts to leave the place. Checking out time was 1 PM. So we had plenty of time left before our boat or air travel so we usually go first to the malls. The staff will keep our huge family luggage for us until we get back. It´s a nice service.

It´s sure is a safe place. The last time we stayed there, my eldest daughter was 2 years old and my youngest only a month old.

I can see that the management is good because until now, viewing at their website, I still saw the same staff., the same loyalty, the same faces.

You readers might think that I gave them huge amount of tips that´s why we received this kind of courtesy and kindness from them. Well, you are wrong. I only gave them 50 pesos each and it was even right after we checked out. And I wish I had given them more.

On my next visit to Cebu, we will surely stay there again since 2003. We are looking forward to stay at their all new building.

You will surely get more of what you paid. Kindness, friendhship, helping hand and more. Sometimes, when you are on a travel, and is on a foriegn place. This things are important for you to have a pleasant, worry free stay. Don´t expect a 5 star stay. But in my experience a 5 star can´t beat that.

Thanks a lot Mayflower!
