Hi!
I was wondering how the internet was? Is it public wifi in the lobby or you get wifi connection per room?
Thank you!

I booked this hotel because of the decent ratings from other reviewers. To my horror, it is the worst hotel/pension house I had stayed in my entire life!
We arrived Cebu around 11pm and did late check in. The road was muddy and dirty. My husband had to pick up our luggage from the cab to the entrance of the hotel. When we checked in, the receptionist didnt even bother to switch on the light as she asked me to fill up my Guest Information. (Because she is sleeping. Didnt want to be bothered). I had to switch on my mobile phone's flashlight for me to fill-up the form. It was horrible! After filling up the forms, we went to our room in the second floor. There is no elevator. We had to pick up our luggage. The last straw was the bed. It has stains! I could deal with everything else except for the bed. I didn't mind how bad everything else but we couldnt made ourselves to lay in a dirty bed. We couldn't and checked out. We moved to a nearby hotel.

we stayed in their deluxe room 2nd floor for 4d and 3 nights. what i love is the security of the place. they do have a friendly security guard and staff/receptionist. good space for cars if you do have one. the bed is not too big, clean place and a small led tv wth hot shower though the water is not that strong as ive expected though it is enough for me. what i also love in this place is that the location is accessible to our destination this is not because we have a car for our ride but for the fact that it is near in mcdonalds it park, 7eleven. waterfront and JY square mall. the price is reasonably good esp when you're always out and you only look for a place to sleep. i recommend this place.

+1
I was travelling to Cebu this time on a budget for 15 days. My priority was to find a place (1) near the IT park, and (2) walking distance to restaurants, convenient stores, etc. And while searching through google and google maps, there I found ANRI Pension House. To set expectations, this is a pension house so it is unrealistic to expect the services that of a hotel. However, I can say that I was happy with the services they provided.
(+) Positives
1. The ANRI team was friendly, courteous and accommodating. The entrance door was always opened before me and I was assisted with my luggage during my arrival/departure time.
2. Room AC was great (more than enough to cool the room) and the room space was maximized. At around Php 600+ per night, it's enough.
3.I was able to book the last standard room (all other rooms were booked as well) so, I had no hot/cold shower. Surprisingly, the water was warm instead. Unless, it's left idling in the bucket, then it becomes too cold.
4. Cable was more than adequate - basic channels were to be found.
5. Yes, there is room service. If I was too tired to go down, I'd just ask for food to be ordered in.
6. The location was very convenient. It was a walking distance to food stalls, night market, restaurants, convenience stores,etc. within IT park. There was also a mall being constructed in the center of the IT park. Soon enough, it will be a walking distance to a mall also. It was also a 5-min walk to a laundry shop.
(-) Opportunities
1. There was construction going on in neighboring buildings so the street going to ANRI from Apas was muddy.
2. I was staying in the 4th floor and there was no elevator. It was a bit of a struggle going up most especially if I was carrying other stuff apart from my bag.
3. Wi-fi in the floor was inconsistent. I had to call the reception almost every day to request for a refresh. Sometimes, even a refresh wouldn't solve it.
4. The trash bin was a bit small and there was only 1 located in the bathroom. Suggest to add another trash bin within the room, slightly bigger in size, if possible.
5. Shower water pressure is weak. Ask for a bucket and dipper - it's available at no additional charge.
If you are a budget traveler or simply a person that is not overly fuzzy on accommodation, this is a great place to book while in the metro. =)

We stayed here for 2 nights last February. Room was clean. Walking distance from and to Cebu IT park. Accessible via public commute. Near 7/11 convenience store abd a 24 hour McDonald's. The staff were accommodating. Good value for money.

Over-all, this is a good place to stay. Please read on.
This facility has no service elevator. So, if you have big suitcases with you, ask for a room downstairs since they have about 2 or 3 of them. That is, if you don't mind being so close to the front desk and right next to the stairs where you could possibly hear other guests milling around and as they climb up and down.
We were given a room on the 2nd floor which did not present much of a problem because the guard is at the ready to take your luggage without you asking for assistance. So, don't worry much in case you got housed further up.
I forgot to take photos of the interiors but our room was pretty decent. Almost everything is new. And the AC is supercool.
This place is also within walking distance from Cebu I.T. Park, which gives you the feeling of being in the heart of the city and not too far from other major destinations.
However, this is not right along the main street as you would have to walk approximately 100 meters from Anri in order to get onto the side of the main road to hail a cab. From there, the I.T park is to your left and about 200-300 meters away.
There is a 7-11 convenience store and several eateries alongside the road heading to the I.T park. If you are not very choosy and particular about where to eat, you may want to try one of them.
Back inside our room.
We just don't know why the door suddenly swung open by itself despite being locked, and there was this stench (smells like human poop) so strong we had to be quick in packing our things for check-out.
We are security conscious, so we made sure that we locked the door. And no, none of us used the toilet that time to produce such stench.
Stayed for 2 nights.
