Vacances de Baas

Great Staff and Convenient Location, but Noise Can Be an Issue Overall, we had a good stay at Kojo Hotel. The staff were excellent—very polite, friendly, and accommodating. We truly appreciated their attentiveness, especially when they arranged to transfer us to a different room after we reported the noise. The hotel is also conveniently located, with plenty of establishments nearby. Unfortunately, noise was a significant downside. We could hear karaoke late into the night, as well as the bass from a nearby nightclub. Moving to another room did make a noticeable difference, and we appreciated the staff’s efforts to help, but the nightclub’s bass was still audible. Overall, the excellent service and convenient location were definite highlights, but guests who are sensitive to noise or light sleepers may want to take this into consideration when booking.

The Mall, I guess if you’re Rockefeller, Trump or Hilton.

My second stay in a waterfront hotel in Cebu, and I must admit that both stays were very disappointing. The hotels are rundown and dark. The carpeting is old and dirty and the rooms look like they were made for a Martin Scorsese film set depicting a rundown casino hotel. The icing on the cake is the lack of trust the management imposes on their employees. From the call to remind me to check out well before checkout time to the double checking of our minibar consumption, the lack of trust in the clients is disturbing. Despite the friendly staff smiles, I will be avoiding the waterfront establishments in the future.
