Low-budget stay for 4
The place was accessible to a lot of places. However, the facilities are a bit old, didn't have enough sockets to charge phones (we got a room for 4 persons). Budget-wise it was good. Wifi didn't reach our room though.

Decent olace
It is close to everything, decent size room, great aircon, stayed 4 nights price is reasonable, no fancy stuff like small fridge or kettle. Cafe has a reasonable price too, internet not good in the room. Price for thermos of hot water is 30php. You have to ask or request for your room to be cleaned or put the sign outside your door unlike what we used to know that it is mandatory to clean room each day unless there’s a signage outside your door not to disturb. Across the street is McDonald’s, there’s also a supermarket where you can get everything you need for a wholesale price. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay. Taxi’s are not hard to find or you can always use grab as well.

Good location and reasonably priced
Pros - near tourist sites, convenience stores, eateries and Pier 1 for those taking early ferry. Room with good WiFi and a selection of cable TV. Reasonably spacious and clean. Hotel has lift and therefore luggage not a problem. Friendly staff with good information on surrounding areas. Cons - no toiletries except two small pieces of soap, no coffee making kettle. Lobby is about 10 steps of stairs above street and need staff to help with luggage.

great place to stay!
The place is clean and comfortable. The service is good and staff are helpful. I recommend this place because it is accessible within downtown area. If you are hungry, Mcdonald is just in front and there are mini grocery nearby.

Aircon and Wifi issues
The Aircon makes a lot of noise, so it may disrupt your sleep. The Wifi doen't work, they could work on the wifi connection which are vital for guests staying long term. The location is fantastic though, near to city hall, the park behind, churches and great food!

It was in a good location and very accessible. But the air conditioning is worse! It’s not cooling good. I tried to open the a/c cover and found out that the thermostat is already ice-frozen. They should be checking all their a/c’s.

Simply picked this hotel on its proximity to Cebu port for getting the ferry to Bohol. We left our luggage while we were out on the day trip and returned to it soaked through as if it had been left outside. Least friendly staff encountered in the Philippines.

Very close to tourist spots
Conveniently located at the city center. Very close to Magellan's Cross, Sto. Nino Church, Cathedral, Fort San Pedro and Pier 1. You can just walk to the Pier if your planning to go to Bohol. There's a 24-hour McDonald's in front, and convenience stores/supermarket around the area. Bars/hang out areas by the bay are just a few blocks away from the hotel.

Not so satisfied
The location is nice but the hotel service not so good they do not have hot water or just electric kettle you have to pay for 15 pesos for a cup of hot water, which is I think not reasonable. Our room was a little bit stinky I slept on the side and I smell something not so good. They are not cleaning the rooms everyday.

WORST HOTEL I’VE EVER STAYED IN
It was one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed in! Condition of the rooms - BAD - rooms look and smell old - beds are not comfy to sleep on - restroom is not well-maintained Hotel Staff - WORSE - we asked if there’s complimentary water and they said yes so we waited for them to deliver it to our room. Made two or three follow-ups until we checked out only to find out there’s no complimentary water. - left our luggages before lunch time and went back around midnight. It took us almost half an hour to finally get some rest at our paid room! They’re not even apologetic! It may be just a few meters away from Magellan’s Cross which was part of our itinerary, but NO, I will never ever stay in this poor hotel again!

No value for money
I know its a low tiered hotel however they still should provide towels right away and not wait for the guest to call and request one. It also took an hour for the towels to be given, that is so slow for a turn around time or magbe they are understaffed.

Worth for the money....
I rate overall an A because it's worth it of what you pay. For me it's perfect place to stay just to have place to sleep and it's near Santo Nino and forth San Pedro to winding up and relax in the park. Staff are friendly.

Great cheap place to stay in the city.
This is for those who prefer private airconditioned rooms instead of shared dorms while on vacation, but want to keep the accommodation expenses at a minimum. It has the basic necessities you need. A clean bathroom, a cabinet, a mini ref, and a tv. The location is great for those who want to see the city, it's only a stone's throw away from the Magellan's cross and Basilica. It is also quite near the South Bus Terminal for those planning to go to Oslob, or Dumaguete during their trip. There is an island souvenirs store beside the building, and a McDonalds. There are also a few banks with atm around the area, convenient for those suddenly finding themselves short on cash. Though on the little-bit-negative side, their 24-hour cafe offers limited choice of food, and the rooms doesn't have complementary bottles of water. PS. This is not the place for picky people expecting lavish amenities.

Accessible to tourist attractions
We enjoyed our stay in Sampaguita Suites, it is very close to tourist attractions like the Magellan's Cross and Basilica de Sto. Nino which is just across the street. The Cathedral is also just a block away and the Fort San Pedro is just a short walking distance. The Taboan Market is also few minutes away by taxi. Restaurants and fast food chains are also just within reach.
