worst hotel I've ever stayed. not to mention their shabby location and super small room, their service is the worst ever 1. The hotel promised us that they would provide the packed breakfast at 5:30am when we checked out as we had an early flight. When we actually checked out at 5:30am, we were told the breakfast was given to... More

Yes, the location of the Lapu Lapu is not so great, but other than that it is a great value if your looking for a budget stay. Staff was very helpful and it's close to airport, I also stayed at their location in Cebu City, it's in a much better location.

The cost was worth it. Very good for travelers who would need wake up calls and stuff. However if you plan to have a jam-packed tour in Cebu, You should choose Express Inn Mandaue Branch because more places (such as ferry port, malls, etc.) are easier to access there compared to this Mactan Branch. Free breakfast wasn't worth it but... More

We had to book hotel close to the airport for 1 night in Cebu and Express INN was good choice. New and comfortable building with lift and very well looking rooms. Bathroom, air condition and restaurant with cheap and good food at the ground level. WI FI available. Breakfasts big enough and tasty. Location on small street something like 10... More

you pick the location, so no need to fuss about that. Only be aware that there are no taxis at the hotel, every time you need to leave someone from the staff has to run to the main road and flag down a taxi for you. This can take a while. Breakfast is substandard with a cold omelette and a... More

My wife and I have stayed here twice now. Because each time we just needed a place to sleep for one night and it is certainly economical we choose here. While the Inn is not a luxury resort neither is the cost. At around P1,000 for a night don't know how you can beat it. I expected it to be... More

We had planned to stay one night in Cebu City, on our way from the North to the South of Cebu Island. We picked this hotel close to the airport because I wanted to be close to car rental agencies.

This hotel is very good for a quick overnight stay. It is about 10 to 15 minutes from the airport. The rooms are clean and simple. The cost for the lowest room is about 20 usd per night and that includes a free breakfast. The neighborhood around the hotel is not too good but for Cebu that should be expected.... More
