3-Star Hotels in Central Visayas, Philippines

We booked this hotel just for one night because we were gonna fly next day, this hotel is 10-15 mins grab away from the airport, and it provides such good value for money, so we decided on booking here. The location is excellent, got lots of food and coffee places downstairs, a couple of huge supermarkets right at the door step, a 711 in 1 mins walk. One thing I’d like to share, I lost something on the grab taken to the hotel, in the evening I realised I lost it, I went to the reception, and they were trying hard to help me and took me to the nearby police for further assistance. Eventuall, I got my lat item back right before my flight, so I am thankful to the staff here.

My family and I recently completed a 4-day stay at the Amber Hotel, booking three rooms. This was our third time choosing this hotel, and it’s easy to see why we keep coming back. The Highlights: Location and Service The hotel’s biggest asset is, without a doubt, its location. It’s incredibly convenient for exploring Cebu City and accessing various tourist spots. The staff, as always, were a standout. They are genuinely accommodating and responsive; any issues we raised were addressed in a timely and courteous manner. This consistent, warm hospitality is a major reason we return. Another consistent highlight is the breakfast. We love the wide array of Filipino breakfast delicacies on offer, it’s a fantastic way to start the day and a real taste of home or a treat for visitors wanting to experience local flavors. Areas for Improvement: A Couple of Minor Annoyances While our overall experience was positive, there were two recurring issues we hope the management can address: 1. No Complimentary Slippers: This is a small but noticeable miss. In my experience traveling across the Philippines, this is the only hotel that doesn't provide in-room slippers. For guests, having slippers is not just about comfort but also about basic hygiene, allowing us to avoid wearing outdoor shoes inside the room. When we asked, we were told we could purchase them, which feels out of step with the standard amenities offered by other hotels in this category. 2. Bathroom Drainage Issue: There's a persistent problem with the shower drainage. During a shower, the water doesn't drain quickly enough and overflows, spreading across the bathroom floor and around the toilet bowl. We did report this, and the staff responded by removing the metal drain cover, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the issue remains, and the entire toilet area still gets wet after every shower. Final Verdict: Still a Solid Recommendation Despite these minor drawbacks, I would still highly recommend the Amber Hotel. The prime location, the genuinely hospitable staff, and the delicious breakfast far outweigh the negatives. It remains a solid and reliable choice for families and travelers alike. We will likely be back for a fourth stay and hope to see these small issues resolved.

Location and price thumbs up, mattress very soft hence bad for oldies like me or those with sensitive back. Cleanliness/staffs' helpfulness:👍. Water pressure/shower floor area a bit poor/uneven/slight water pooling. Air conditioning: good, WiFi passed. Overall acceptable still for what you are paying, stayed 3 nights, give and take nothing to complaint. First room was bright fronting main road but no wardrobe, I requested to change to another room with wardrobe and the staffs were helpful, thanks Dorothy and Cyrus. Easy going people should have no issue staying here, but for those who are particular or fussy; not recommended.

Ambience: good ambience, peaceful, seems an expensive hotel. Check in check out: slow process. Does not take into consideration the time of the client. Call the front desk a head of time before checking out to hasten. The receptionist is not welcoming, not courteous. Rooms: exceptional! The view at 1210 was superb! All amenities were working. Clean room. The shower gel was watered down. The wifi was very slow almost unserviceable. Food: The only thing that pulls the hotel down. Food was mediocre; kept repeating the menu, taste like carinderia. Nothing special. They keep on providing processed food in the menu, ice bucket was not sturdy enough, they cant provide tongs. Condiments not available readily. It seems that they are cost cutting. Staff: said earlier guest are not very courteous. Overall: will go back for sure but we hope there will be improvements.

Comfortable beds, lovely 2 bedroom apartment. The pool is beautiful. There is a swim up bar, but no one is there. There is a bar onsite, but it’s not really “open”. It isn’t staffed, I had to call to get someone to come up, and I don’t think there’s drinks actually there, as Yvette had to go downstairs to get my beers. She was lovely though, she chatted to me while I had a beer. The room has tea and coffee, toothbrush/paste set. We were the only guests there, so it was very quiet. It’s a massive, cool hotel. Overall a great stay!

From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was seamless and welcoming. I was particularly impressed by the concierge’s thoughtful recommendations, which truly elevated our overall experience. This hotel perfectly blends high-end comfort with exceptional hospitality, making it an easy choice for our next visit.

This my second time staying in Bayfront. The staff are very warm and helpful. Cleanliness is top notch. Rooms are spacious and tidy. Delicious breakfast everytime. Lovely roof deck pool. Location is superb.

Booked this hotel as it provided free pick up from airport after we arrive past midnight. However, due to our flight delay by an hour, we couldn't locate the driver despite attempting to look around and walking around at the arrival area for 15-20mins. We ended up booking our own transport over and was told by the hotel that the driver was waiting for us at the airport. There was no way for me to contact the driver - I've attempted to contacted the hotel via WhatsApp and email without a reply which I suppose is fair since it was around 2.30am. Nevertheless, other than this, the service was decent. Room was old but spacious.

This was my first time staying here, and I found it surprisingly clean for the price. However, the amenities were a bit of a letdown: the hot water pressure was low, I couldn't figure out how to operate the in-room safe, and the refrigerator was rather unremarkable. The only real perks were probably the automatic curtains and the power outlets with USB ports. The surrounding area was quite convenient, with money exchange services and convenience stores nearby. Access from the airport via Grab taxi was extremely cheap, costing less than 400 yen.

The place was nice, tv, wifi, hot shower, all are working perfectly fine, but couldve done better if theres a complimentary bottled water as you know once travelers arrived, what they are looking at in rooms are free bottled water, this is the only place Ive been to that doesnt have free bottled water but everything is good except for that, however I would still like to book at another time and would recommend this inn to stay.
