This is our Luxury pick for Cebu City. It suits couples and travellers who want a 5-star room, a pool and a big buffet breakfast, and who are happy to stay put in the evening rather than wander the old streets.
It also suits people flying in and out, because the property lists a free airport shuttle. Check that it runs at your arrival time and whether you need to book it in advance.
Skip it if your plan is to walk between the historic sights every day. The main landmarks are more than 40 minutes away on foot. Budget travellers should also look elsewhere: the nightly rate is more than twice the sample median.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits on the Cebu South Coastal Road in the South Road Properties area. The listing scores the location 9.1, but that score reflects guest opinion, not walking distance to the old town.
Our straight-line estimates put the Basilica del Santo Niño at 3.3 km, about 41 minutes on foot. Fort San Pedro is 3.5 km, about 44 minutes, and the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral is 3.6 km, about 45 minutes. All three are far for walking, so plan on a taxi or public transport.
Free parking is listed, which helps if you rent a car.
What guests say
The score is 9.1 out of 10 from 1,174 reviews, which placed it joint second of 14 eligible hotels in the sample we looked at.
Staff come up most often. Guests describe a friendly, professional and attentive team and a warm welcome. Breakfast is the other highlight, with an extensive buffet of international and local dishes. The listing names continental, Asian, American and buffet options.
The main complaint is cost once you are inside. Guests rate the facilities highly but find dining and spa services expensive. If you plan to eat every meal at the hotel, budget for it.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 was €136.51 per night for 2 adults. That compares with a sample median of €59.72. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, NS Royal Hotel, came in at €24.76 per night with a score of 8.0 and 2 stars. Our Best Value pick, Holiday Inn Cebu City by IHG, was €69.57 per night with a score of 8.9 and 4 stars.
So you pay roughly double the Holiday Inn for a slightly higher score, 5 stars, a pool, a restaurant and the airport shuttle. The star rating was estimated by the property, not set by an official body.

Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read the room description closely and check the cancellation rules before you pay.
Breakfast inclusion is not confirmed for every rate. Check whether your rate includes the buffet, since guests rate it so well and meals here are said to be pricey.
