Pretty much the same like in Manila.
Clean but thin walls and again these artificial leather/plastic matresses i cant sleep on.
My room size, as well as the bath, was ok in size - but also no windows.

The only really nice thing that on 1st floor there was a massage institure where i got everyday 2 different massages for nearly no money (if i remember right the 1,5 hours Thai massage was around 3 EURO or so).

So if you have to do something within Cebu capital and dont want to stay too long its pretty ok - otherwise i would recomend a more expensive but better place instead...

Stayed for 4 nights.

The Bad: Title of my review says it all. Unless you are a bear in the midst of a deep winter hibernation sleep, forget about sleeping well here, because you can hear everything happening in the hallways, and you can even hear other people talking and their TVs in their rooms even when their doors are closed. You can hear all the doors opening and closing, the doorbells, the children running and yelling in the halls, the late night drunkards mumbling to themselves while they struggle to unlock their doors, the cleaners and their trolley rolling along...etc etc.

There is also some sort of construction happening on the floor below the hotel. The sound of hammering and drills from 8am-6pm 7days a week makes it hard to sleep late even after being awake all night long due to the other rackets.

The singleroom I had was tiny. TV remote only worked if you held it 2.5 feet away from the TV. There was a leak somewhere in the bathroom, so the floor was constantly wet. No window in bedroom. The hotel only provides a paper thin top sheet for the bed. If you want another paper thin sheet they will charge you 50 peso(thats just cheesy).

The good: You may like this budget hotel if sleeping is not important to you. Key card entry. Good split AC unit. Ok location at Fuente Cirlce, and a 70peso cab ride to Ayala. Free, but unrelaible wifi.

This Econotel can be a great choice, if your expectations are set correctly. Compare it to a "motel" in the USA, and you'll be a happy camper. It's was a good value, and is not unlike the Sampuguita, across the street.

I added a picture of the exterior of the building. It shows several windows open to the outside. Do not get your hopes up. These windows are vents for the split system air conditioning. There is a service area open to the outside with another interior wall that defines the guest room space. I suppose it is to isolate the sleeping areas from the street noise. I think it was a good choice.

Also, I uploaded a picture of the inside of my room door showing a modern lockset using RFID cards. There is one card per room, and I doubt they are recoded between guests.

Additionally, located in the same building is the Nature Spa. I included an image of some of the prices you can expect there. They are not really part of the hotel. But, I found it to be clean and pleasant. Recommended.

I was not expecting much from a low price hotel; however, this place did not meet even my low expectations.

Cleanliness - 2 stars since there was quite a lot of cobwebs in the bathroom.
Location - 3 stars since it Robinson's Place (with a grocery store) is across the street.
Rooms - 2 stars since no windows.
Service - 3 stars for average service.
Value - 3 stars for low price; however, you get what you pay for.
Sleep Quality - 2 stars since mosquitoes were in my room at least 2 of the 3 nights.
