Located within a 6-minute walk of Colon Street and half a mile of Magellan's Cross, CHE & JAMES FEMALE GUEST House COLON, CEBU provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Cebu City....

Everything! The bed is comfy, with 2 pillows and a nice warm blanket (forgotten pleasure while traveling in Asia), the AC is powerful and not that noisy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room is spacious and clean, with big lockers, curtains, personal light, sockets and a shelf. They're 2 showers and 1 toilet, which was enough for everyone (only 1 room for 6 people). The location is quite good: not that noisy, close to all the attractions and 25 min drive from the airport. There's even laundry service for free, which is awesome 👍 I'd totally recommend for solo female traveller.

Located within a 8-minute walk of Magellan's Cross and 700 yards of Fort San Pedro, Balai Balai Capsule Hotel Cebu provides rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Cebu City.

Staff are great, ready to help you. Location is good with terminal 20-30 minutes walking away. The locked door of capsules gives good privacy. The ac was too strong, making it uncomfortable to stay in the room. The free water is only for staff, which they kindly give you if you ask

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The room was big and nice, and the bed was good. I think some of the less expensive south of Cebu City. They have a small store here with snacks and drinks. But maybe most importantly, they had an extremely good staff. I be back

    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.
