RedDoorz @ MJ Cuenco Avenue Cebu
The hotel's main highlight is its convenient location—just a short walk from SM Mall and the northern bus terminal, making travel in Cebu very easy. However, the room itself was disappointing. The furnishings were outdated, and there was no hot water available during our stay, which made showering quite uncomfortable. Despite this, the front desk staff were friendly and welcoming—always smiling and helpful. Overall, it’s a decent option for a quick overnight stay or if you’re just passing through, but not ideal for a longer stay. The value isn’t great given the room conditions, so keep that in mind.

Flogel Amore Pension House
I stayed at Flogel Amore Pension House in Cebu and had a generally positive experience. The location is convenient, just a short walk from the city center and close to public transport. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. However, I did notice an issue with the air conditioning—it didn’t cool effectively, even on the highest setting. It felt more like a fan than a real AC, especially during the evening hours when it got quite hot. This made sleeping uncomfortable. I’d still recommend the hotel for its value and atmosphere, but the cooling system definitely needs attention. Would consider staying again if this was fixed.
