5.0 out of 10, (2)
"It was horrible. I got in late because of immigration. The girl at the front desk was rude. The bed was next to a window where you could hear people outside and every car or motorbike that passed by. I asked to change the room and she said there was nothing else available. You could clearly see there were other beds and rooms available. Not one picture showed that there was a window next to a bed. I would steer clear of this place."

Elicon House

2.0 star property
Downtown Cebu
7.2 out of 10, Good, (34)
"It was great. The place is good and the staff are very very friendly and accommodating. The only downside is that the rooms are infested with little cockroaches/bugs that needs to be given attention to. It would be great if they could do a total pest control clean up in the whole building and set roach traps or something. The bugs were little but it was very bothersome, I'd end up killing at least 3-4 tiny roaches before i go to bed."
