Nice place
I have to say this place had the most comfortable bed I slept in so far on my 2 weeks in the Philippines. The staff were amazing and helped me with my laundry and did other general things for me. However the Hot water wasn't available for the evening I was staying there.

Very good but two issues
Best bed I have slept ok on a 4 month south east Asia trip. Staff are excellent. Close to a kfc and other restaurants. Room is great- perfect size with balcony, clean and well appointed. I have deducted a star bc the internet basically was not working at all. The staff did try to help but nothing worked. Also the hot water is basically luke warm at best.

It’s a convenient location only 0.5 to 1 km walk from the ATM, drug stores, Ching Hua hospital and Cebu Doctor’s Hospital and many restaurants. The room is clean, large, attractive and modern. The breakfast buffet is simple but acceptably good. During the day, it’s a little noisy because of the street noise. Overall I liked it. It’s a good value and I recommend it.

It was very convenient for me--to go downtown, uptown, shopping, church, and everywhere I went. The facility, if there's something needs to be done -it's handled right away. The staff, from the receptionists, the Halo Restaurant staff, the maintenance or housekeeping crew, the management personnel, and the guards were very nice and courteous.

First impressions were positive with a friendly check in experience. The room was OK, but a bit worn and tatty. There was no hot water. We reported the problem and were told that it could not be fixed until the next day. It was late, so we accepted this. The next morning we again reported the problem before going out. We returned early afternoon and only then did 'the engineer' come to check the problem. He could not fix it, mentioning something about a centralises system. Senior Management did their best to avoid us, leaving junior staff to handle our complaint. They offered another room, again no hot water. Finally they said they could bring buckets of hot water for us to wash with. Call be fussy, but I think running hot water is a prerequisite for a 3 star hotel. We asked for our money back so we could move hotels. They refused, saying it was not their policy. We decided to leave. We booked into the Quest hotel for slightly more money than we paid at St Mark. It turned out to be vastly superior.

Great hotel I’d book again
We were very happy with this hotel. It was clean, spacious, comfortable, and the staff were great. They even handed out complimentary cookies with personalised, hand written tags on NYE which was very sweet. The only complaint was the lack of hot water in the shower. The area also didn’t feel that safe late at night. Other than that, we had a great stay!

Nice and clean but no hot water
The room was nice and clean, air-con was good and in room facilities good. There was no hot water though and had to shower in cold/ lukewarm water. The room service menu looked great, but nothing was available to order except the club sandwich. It arrived and was terrible. I couldn't eat it.

This hotel has always been my go-to hotel the last 5-6 times I've visited Cebu. But, this time it was disappointing. The rooms were the same with comfort level on par. But, you can really feel like this hotel is struggling now. The last time I visited, was only 3-4 months ago, and now there was only 1 person I recognized -the head chef. Completely new staff otherwise, which suggests a very high turnover rate. And after observing everyone, there are no more smiles.. that make you feel welcome. The breakfast buffet is no longer suggested to be included in your package. Even this one, has seen budget cuts and selection has been limited. Juices offered are powdered substitutes, not the "fresh" taste. The food is still good overall. The Wifi internet seems to have been downgraded as well, as speed to connect on devices is limited. In our room, the signal to reach the internet was almost nonexistent, forcing me to leave the comfort of my room for a seat in the hall when conducting business on my laptop. Also, every night there was some type of private gathering in the cafe below us. This accompanied loud music until 11pm most nights. The hotel did issue notices delivered to the door each day for these parties, but that didn't dull the inconvenience of having the sound booming beneath your feet. This is still a great place with a comfortable bed to lay your head at night. Just don't expect more than that. Convenient location, but lots of homeless all around on both sides.

Thank you for taking the time to write your detailed review. We are glad that you commented positively about our guestrooms and the food that we serve in the restaurant. ​We were disappointed to read about the experience you had during your last stay. Whilst an apology will regrettably not alter the outcome of your experience, we still extend it with all sincerity. We certainly empathize regarding the points you mentioned on your review, especially the noise coming from the Christmas Parties, and for feeling that the hotel service you received did not meet your expectations as compared to your previous stays. Rest assured these concerns mentioned will be addressed accordingly. Again, please accept our apology and we hope that this hasn't put you off a return stay with us again. ​

The place is clean, comfortable and they have good friendly staff. Breakfast and service were good. However, we were not informed when we checked in that room cleaning is by request so we were surprised when we got back to the hotel and found our rooms still messy.
