Bedroom with 2 beds in boarding place in condo - Cebu IT Park has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Cebu City.

The rental was in IT Park, I can walk everywhere. Very secure, has good internet speed and water pressure. I booked a different room, and I was given a different accommodation, but it was ok because I was the only renter. Thank you to the owner for letting me use the dining table as a temporary work area.

Quite okay for the price. Just dont expect hotel quality services. The blinds/curtains still have some small spaces so you can still see the lights outside at night so it's not completely dark

The staff were reasonably friendly and helpful regarding the hotel. Situated close to many shops, shopping centres and restaurants. They did change my room after the first night when requested. The 2nd room was quieter, and the shower worked properly. Generally clean.

I had a great experience at Murals Hostel, especially the staff was incredibly nice, welcoming and helpful. They have a big comfy room to hang out and a cafe with many plants. I was able to store my luggage there for two weeks while traveling around Cebu Island and pick it up afterwards. Thank you for everything and see you next time :)

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location. I ran to the beach1.1 miles away at 9pm and 6am. Super fun safe jog. Beaches were 20p for clean safe white sand beach, public beach was crowded so this was worth it.

    Decent base from which to explore cebu. Needed somewhere cheap as we wouldn't be spending much time here and the hotel was exactly that. Hotel really kindly did us a packaged breakfast as we had a 3am pickup for a tour to Oslob. Hotel itself feels safe. Doorman to welcome you, nice lobby area and helpful staff.

    Great location, in the middle of the city, a lot of shops near by, lovely roof terrace, free drinking water. They also offered us a free breakfast (not mentioned on the booking website) which was a lovely surprise - rice, sausage, egg and coffee. There is a kitchen that you can use. Quiet at night, ac, hostel inside is modern. Great price.

    The host was really nice and provided us good service. It's really cheap so if you are on a budget this one is nice. Also there is a guard watching out who walks into the area where the place is located, so it's a safe place to stay.
