Posts: 6782Best of Cebu hotels
I may not agree with this but then the choice is fairly limited in Cebu and the usual contenders got he nod but if you are not a budget these are nice hotels. While I prefer the Elizabeth I have stayed in each of them and all are good. Crimson is very nice but is hard to find (very bad signage).

It is Girl Friendly, but Security check's I'd upon entering the lobby.
The front desk stated 2800 peso per night, so I booked the room through Agoda.com and the "all In" price including fees and taxes is 2450 Php per night.

All the hotels I mentioned are not way over 2500.
Friend got Madarin at 2300 (I got it at 2200), Golden Prince has specials and promos virtually all the time with prices as low as 1700, Tune I agree is cheap but unless you small rooms go elsewhere.
Quest can be over 250 but can also be far less so check the discount web sites.
Elizabeth I can get at around 2500- my ate not to be found on any web site and I got this for other mongers visiting.
Harolds. Agree another I forget that one but for me 10 minutes is too far as am lazy LOL.
As I live in Cebu a fair bit of the year I see lots promos for far less but not within walking distance.
Frimu Also try Azia Suites. FR on it by Polyorchid last year and this is OK and not far from Ayala. Look for specials also as many will offer.
And Golden Peak and Escario again too far to walk if you want immediate access to Ayala but less than 10 minutes in my estimation.
If you want around that price opposite Ayala try Tune, Elizabeth, Quest and Mandarin.
But there is the Regency hotel in between Tune and Quest. Looks old and frayed at the edges so I have never stayed there.

Dear all,
I'm looking for a hotel in Cebu, that meets the following criteria:
- Girl friendly obviously.
- Good Wifi.
- Proper desk (need to do some freelance work every now and then).
- As close to Ayala as possible.
- Max 2500 PHP per night.
I hope you have some suggestions for me. Thank you all in advance!

Posts: 4567Downtown, midtown, uptown
Ayala Mall may be the middle of modern Cebu City, but I've never heard it called Midtown. Sorry Pip. This is my understanding. . .
Downtown: Colon / Carbon Market, etc. I stayed here on my first visit to Cebu in 1990. It was an edgy area then and is edgier now.
Midtown: Fuente Osmena Circle where you will find Robison's Mall and the Summit hotel above that. The Summit Hotel used to be called Midtown Hotel. Also on the circle, you can find a newer, but smallish mall called Cybergate, which is where Pip and I had lunch last year. This is also where a large hospital is located.
Uptown: That would be the area around the Capital building.

I appreciate the pointers and I'll try to do a report afterward.

But a word of warning, internet here in Cebu (and I found the same or worse in Dumaguete and Tagbilaran) is very unpredictable, even when it is good it cuts out frequently and leave you waiting for a minute or two. What I also found was that if the hotel's internet has trouble, then switching to 3 G data using the USB stick has the same problem, it seems they are all going through the same cable / hub or something! ?
Also I have tried 3 G on Globe and Smart and they are not that different and both struggle to get up to high speeds. One of the most problematic thing for me is I found if I use non-default ports for say SSH and RDP (that is to remote connect to another computer) the speed is far slower than your normal internet browsing (default ports like 80 and 443 etc.). I have tested this in various places, methods and companies and they are all the same, very slow speed on ad-hoc ports. I think the companies might have some filtering or throttling mechanism, this is for those IT techies who are interested. . .

Personally, I do not like the Parklane due to the location and horrible service although their outdoor poolside bar is nice.
Smart Bro will set you back for the initial investment of their USB stick but if you really need the internet and don't want to depend on WiFi, that is the way to go. It is more private and secure as well.
There is only one Sogo in Cebu City regrettably: http://hotelsogo.com/branch/cebu.html.

I have been trying to get the good rate at Elizabeth but the manager I used to contact seems to be gone and when I call all I get is the "Sorry sirrrrrrrrrrrrr, we don't have a promotion right nowwwwwww. ".
So am stuck looking at Diamond and Mandarin.
