Mandaue City Apartments

I stayed here with my brother and we enjoyed our stay. It’s located very near (within walking distance) of a small mall (Parkmall, a very simple mall with a lot of food establishments a National Bookstore, and a Savemore grocery store), and fairly near SM JMall (around 2km away). The amenities are good, but I think it lacks sockets. There is one by the coffee maker, one of the lamps, and under the room phone socket in between the beds, but that one doesn’t work. Upon entering the hotel, you are required to place your bags and belongings in a tray and put it through the X-ray machine, which is good for extra safety but can feel a little bit annoying at times (I don’t like the machine flaps touching my things and just tolerate it at airports since it’s required). The staff was able to get us a room upgrade for free and followed my request of 2 beds instead of a queen -sized bed, which I requested in advance; although my request of a room near an elevator was not able to be accommodated as all the other rooms were occupied. Service is good and they were able to get me an adapter (which I tried to use to get the power socket near the bed to work), but delivery was quite slow. Overall, I would recommend bai hotel for its location, friendly staff, and amenities offered (just wish that the outlet near the bed worked).

The hotel is cozy, clean and the staffs are all very accommodating especially Denev and Rona of Front Desk! They are really kind and provided satisfactory service to the guest. Kudos to Rona who helped me to take photos, she so kind and helpful and always smiling which can lighter the ambiance and contribute a positive vibes.. A mentioned to Deneb as well who made my heart flatter with his accommodating voice and gesture especially during breakfast. I will definitely comeback on my next business trip next month!

We stayed for more than two months and enjoyed everything from excellent breakfast and service to comfortable accommodation that feels like home. Location is also topnotch. Definitely recommended two thumbs up. Truly a wonderful stay! - Reynaldo of Canada

Check in and check out process were both smooth. Staff were very nice, helpful and smiley. The room was neat and clean. Everything was good except for the damp smell. I also saw one tiny cockroach near the closet. Location wise, very convenient as it is close to shops, restaurants and banks. Overall it was a good stay. Will definitely book again in the future.

Conveniently located near Ayala Center Cebu and Parkmall. Easy check-in and check-out process. Helpful staff. One bad thing is that the water at the shower area does not drain fully. It started to smell the next morning due to the stagnant water. Another thing: blanket could be better. It was too thin. Thank you.

Highly Recommended for middle-class: Just as good as our last stay in 2015. For less than 60 USD/night, it offers everything we needed and wanted. Based on its simplicity, this may only be a 2 or 3 star hotel, but the service and courtesy of the staff is 5-star. Peso for Peso (dollar for dollar), it's the best value of any hotel I've ever stayed in my life. Location: 5-7km from Mactan. At 7pm on a Thursday, it took me 15 minutes to drive to Dohera via the new bridge. The drive back to Mactan, on a weekday morning took 30mins via the ”old” bridge. Our Room: Two queen beds for three nights: P7500 ($150USD) total. We stayed on two separate occasions at the front and back end of our vacation to Cebu. Rooms were clean and modern (though the carpeted floors did not pass my ”white-sock” test). Beds are simple and comfortable. Ref, but no microwave. Bathroom is modern and extremely clean: Excellent hot/cold water pressure in a beautiful, glass-enclosed shower. Toiletries provided. Television is modern with many channels. Breakfast Included: 100% fantastic buffet style (self-serve). There were, usually, two protein dishes -- (tocino, longanisa, pork belly, chicken, fried fish, etc), steamed and garlic-fried rice, congee, a vegetable dish, breads for toasting, fresh fruit and fruit cups, coffee and water. Lunch/Dinner: In the restaurant/lobby. Room-service is available. As we only ate the included breakfast, we cannot comment on price. However, due to our experience with breakfast, we can presume the other food to be the same high quality. Snacks-Expensive: Coffee is free and available 24hrs. Beer, soda and other snacks are very expensive. Bottled water is P50 (same size/brand is P15 at 7-11). A can of soda is P80 (more than double the price of the 7-11 across the street). WiFi: Free in-room WIFI Pool: Various depths from 50-150cm. It's outdoors but sheltered from the sun-- a big plus for us. Parking: Limited, but free. Ball Room/Conference Room: We observed a wedding reception during our stay. We took a quick peek upstairs as guests were arriving; nicely prepared. The staff took excellent care of the wedding party, without ignoring the other hotel guests.

I'm actually quite sad to have to write this review as I have been a good customer of this hotel for many years. The service, food, rooms and rates used to be a 5 out of 5 experience everytime. Unfortunately this has dramatically changed, the food is awful now and the room service arrives in a take out box with plastic utensils, yet they still charge an additional fee! The TV and channel selections are never working properly, the rooms have not seen a lick of paint ... ever. Water pressure is no good, towels are old and close to their end of life, no toiletries or bottled water in the room oh and they give you 1 pillow, if you request more than 1, they will charge you. As I said it's sad to see. The one saving grace is the service in the bar and restaurant from the staff that have known us for many years. The new hires simply don't care or are not being managed properly. Also they fill the place with OJT to save money, though I understand this, you can't completely staff a hotel with inexperienced staff just to save a few pisos. Disappointed.

Stayed here for one week for the Sinulog festival, the place is good for those who want to have a quiet place and accessible to all places near malls and convenient stores. Can cook in the room, electric kettle is provided plus 2 mugs and teaspoons for hot milk/coffee. Mineral water for drinking is also provided, hot bath is 24 hrs, ac is good as new. Overall review for Cornestone Manor inn is excellent, definitely will check in again for my next vacation in Cebu.

The hotel is good for travelers who just need a place to sleep in for a night or two, especially if you will be spending most of your days outside, like us. It is not that far from the airport and the pier. There is a pharmacy just outside and Jollibee across the street. The room i and my companions got is large enough for us. There are towels, shampoo sachets, soaps, tooth brushes with toothpaste, glasses and cups provided. There is no bottled water but there is a water dispenser outside the room so bring a tumbler with you. The bathroom is okay though it needs to be renovated in my opinion. Hot shower sometimes does not work. The beds are large but it creaks when you move. So if you are more accustomed to hotels with great facilities this is not for you. The hotel is a good place for its price, and have simple amenities, if your purpose is just like ours. Finally, I commend the staff, they are very accomodating.
