Advantages: Only a few minutes' drive to Mactan-Cebu International Airport; nice shower; friendly staff. Disadvantages: Basically a dump; towel problem emblematic of the place, which needs a renovation badly.
If you ever plan to visit the bustling city and province of Cebu, Philippines, take note: DO NOT even consider the shamefully shabby Days Hotel Cebu for your holiday.
Our travel party had expected decent accommodations in this Days Hotel, since CebuCity happens to be one of the larger and exciting cities in the Visayas region of Southern Philippines (a cluster of islands in the center of the archipelago). Well, were we ever so wrong!
A Bit About Cebu.
CebuCity brims with historical significance. It's the oldest Christian city in the Philippines, established by Spanish colonizer Miguel Lopez de Legaspi in 1571. (The country's oldest avenue is Colon St. in busy downtown CebuCity, named oddly after Christopher Columbus.) Decades before Legaspi's arrival, Portuguese explorer Fernando de Magallanes/Ferdinand Magellan first ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Days Hotel Cebu
Advantages: Value for money, Nice view, Near from the Airport, Courteous Staff Disadvantages: Hope they focus more on local dishes
I am one of the executives working at one of the top companies located in the central business district of Makati and I do travel a lot! And I mean a lot! So I've been to places other people could only dream of. So based from my experience as a frequent traveler, I could honestly say that I can give just and fair reviews on the places I visited. And in this case, Cebu and Days Hotel Cebu.
An overview of Cebu, Philippines and some attractions:
CEBU: QUEEN CITY OF THE SOUTH
Cebuanos celebrate life like no other. They strum their guitars and sing the "balitaw" when they're happy. They strum the guitar and sing the "harana" when they're sad. And when they pray, they dance!
It therefore comes as no surprise that the guitar is a prime product in Cebu which, quite naturally, has also produced a large share of the country's best ...
Advantages: Fantasic beaches, friendly people, good food. Disadvantages: Manana mentality
I recently got back to the U.K after spending around eighteen months working in Cebu. Like anywhere else in the Philippines, life can be a bit of a hassle for people who live and work there and are used to western - style comforts and western - style pace of life, but it is a brilliant vacation spot. On Mactan Island, just over the bridge from CebuCity proper, there are several beach resort hotels which are world - class (Tambuli and Maribago Blue Water are probably the best). Unfortunately these also carry world - class price tags, but there are a couple of tourist-style hotels, about 10 minutes from the beaches, Bridgeside Hotel & Captain Greggs Inn. These are both run by Australians, and have clean, comfortable accomodation and good western - style food at reasonable prices (around US$20 per night for an aircon room with private ...
