If you're looking for an independent self service and family type rooms and hotel. Sarrosa might be the place for you. As long as you don't hope for a presidential service and if your intention is to enjoy Metro Cebu or even the island and looking for just a place to stay, you'll be just fine.

I've only stayed there with family, so I don't really know how its like on standard rooms, amenities and services. I stayed with my own family (wife and kids) and immediate (mom and dad and sibling), and we have 3 rooms. It was very affordable for a huge room space. The interior looks and feels like and apartment, and that you have to cook your own food if you like and it really does make you feel at home. They have all the basic kitchen tools and units at hand and a full size fridge.
make sure to ask for maintenance assistance if needed to ensure safety and liability.

staff is friendly as well, accommodating and professional.

Would like to stay there again sometime in the future


CONS:

Make sure to call in advance to get rid of certain household pest such as cockroaches. They're inevitable since it's an old building- i think. and some customers abuse their stay and trash the place and attracting pests.
But regardless, the place should be routinely checked and cleaned out of household pests. And chemical spray wont suffice since they can build immunity.
The place looked a little aged in some parts inside.
Some cooking materials are either missing or old.

Overall,
If your looking for a place to stay with family during your visit in Cebu, I recommend Sarrosa due to its accessibility and they promote safety.

okay so we checked in at this hotel at Cebu and I got nothin' to say during my stay actually our stay... hhmm except that during the time that we checked out.... i'm just surprised that we have an extra charge of making an outside call without informing me first. so thats it...

Sarrosa Hotel Management,
I'm in California and planning to go home for 3 weeks vacation with my husband and my 20 month old daughter. I've been searching on line and looking for a hotel to stay that's clean and reasonable price. I haven't been home for 5 years now and really looking forward to see my family, friends and Cebu ofcourse. I heard that threre's a lot of changes already.
Anyway, I want to stay in your Hotel but I'm kinda scared with all the negative reviews and only very few good reviews. I hope that if I decide to stay in your hotel I won't encounter any unprofessional behavior. Looking forward to meet all the good looking and friendly staff on April 2012.

S.B.

(haven't been in this hotel but I have to fill out the infos so that they will accept my letter.)
