Getting there
Good for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
The place is clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. They offer a month long stay for a very affordable price which we availed. Casa Rosario is near the business district like Mango and IT Park. I would definitely stay here again next time.

this is a simple however very good choice when you are in Cebu. Rooms were clean, bathroom was nice, beds were excellent and good wifi at reception. My wife enjoyed the breakfast next morning. Price was 1300 PHP (for a room with 3 beds) which we tought was very good value (including aircon)

Definitely one of the best places to stay in Cebu, GREAT staff, very professional, hardworking and very corteous, they'd go the extra mile to make your stay pleasant and comfortable. If Cebuanos are known to be Good and Loving people then the staff is even better, professionally trained to work in a hotel, most especially the front desk clerks. Management indeed has found a "GEM" in these staff.
I stayed there for a week, never a day need i complain of anything. Price, Service and Accomodation is incomparable if you are looking for a place to stay in a tight budget. Everywhere within the hotel is clean, security is adequate, service is fast and efficient, rooms are descent and best of all room rates are way below on what you might pay on other hotels of the same level.
Location is just perfect, its near anything you might need when you are travelling, Mobility is fast since there is always a taxi waiting outside the hotel, or if you might choose to walk there is always something within walking distance, be it a mall, a bar, a laundry service, a restaurant or even a church.
It has been recommended to me by friends here in the US and now i do the same to all my friends wishing to travel to Cebu and experience the difference in culture and good values that the Cebuanos have.
So on my next Vacation to Cebu, its definitely straight from airport to CASA ROSARIO.

My previous two reviews of this humble,but good, hotel/pension house (what is it really,a pension house or a hotel?!), highly praised it but,unfortunately,I cannot do the same now basing on our "experience" there last May 12 to June 3,2011! No,it's not as bad as it sounds here,it's still quite a good hotel ,except that it somehow has deteriorated in its upkeep and maintenance,to the point where they don't seem to care much (or know!) about fixing any problems occurring (or has occurred!)! The worst example of this was the hot water in our bathroom,which was out of order when we arrived AND STILL out of order when we left 23 days later! Their reason for the delay in repairing it was that the "part" for it had to be ordered from Manila,but unless Manila was on the other side of the moon (and even then!) it never arrived while we were there! (We had to use an electric water heater jug,which we had with us, for our hot water when taking a bath!) And this was not the only problem! The day AFTER we arriived our overhead round fluorescent light "expired",but the replacement,which turned out to be an old used one,also expired just after one day! And it took them almost a whole morning to replace it - not only because what they used as replacement was not of the same size but also because they did not have any spares and still had to buy it! Sounds like the "Keystone Cops",doesn't it? Any more "problems"? Yes! The airconditioner was not really doing its utmost of cooling the room,specially during the hot afternoons! (Last year,as we always stayed in the same room during the three times in as many years we stayed in this hotel,it too "expired" on our very last day there; thank God we only had a morning left before our departure!) Any more "problems"? Yes again! They could either repair the two venetian blinds in the room,or replace the one which was quite obviously much smaller than the window it was supposed to cover! Would we stay there again? Probably yes, as in spite of the above "complaints" we still rate the hotel, overall, as good value for money! And its location is superb! But,for heaven's sake,to Management: "take care" of your hotel; employ a qualified,and experienced, Service and Maintenance Mgr. to keep it "up to scratch and as good as new"! Don't let it be until it crumbles down just to save a few centavos! You have a "rough diamond" there you know!

The room we got was one with twin beds. The place is showing its age although one can see efforts to maintain and give it a face lift. The amenities are good for a budget hotel.
There is hot and cold shower and faucet in the bathroom and the bathroom tiles shows its age. The room has good air conditioning but the air grill is gone. The TV is LCD with cable channels. The dress has a light. Closet is a little low for my height. The ceiling shows prints of fixtures of old which have been removed. There is a square hole on the ceiling.
Breakfast buffet is available for P120 or roughly $3 with limited choices. The taste is about average.
Plenty of taxis go by 101 Aboitiz Street, where this hotel is located, so no problem if you need to hail a cab. In front of the hotel is St. Therea's College Cebu. Two laundry shops are nearby and convenient. There are cafes in the arcade next door, even a Mister Donut. An Internet cafe is also at the arcade.
My colleague ordered beer sometime close to midnight. I was surprised it was the security guard who sent it up to the room as waiters and kitchen personnel are not available at night.
There is an elevator but it is quite small with a capacity of only 6 persons tops. The entry to the elevator is narrow. It might not be good for wheelchaired persons.
Wifi is free, although in five days, I had two nights of spotty or no Internet.
Noise or even people talking in the hall can be easily heard inside the room. Must be the unplanned acoustics in the place.
For those with vehicles, parking is available at the side of the hotel. If you park deeper insde the parking area, you will notice a house whose occupant specializes in restoring BMW's.
Overall, the stay was average but kind of pleasant.
This hotel was not our first choice. The first choice was fully booked and so was the third choice.

I have stayed at this hotel many times and the service has always been consistent. If you're a filipino coming back to visit relatives or an expat who wants to stay in an intimate hotel in a more local setting, you can't go wrong with Casa Rosario.
The Redemptorist Church (Catholic) is in close walking distance, which makes it ideal for the older filipinos who want a church nearby for Sunday services. (Those of us with religious older filipino relatives know this can be a good selling point!)
It is also located nearly equidistant from both Cebu's SM mall and Ayala Mall, so either venue is a short taxi cab away. Also within walking distance is a small Robinson Mall as well as the nightlife of mango avenue.
They offer a breakfast buffet in the mornings and they have free wifi.
You add its location, amenities, with the affordable room rates and it is a good deal for those on a budget or the adventurous traveler looking for a small hotel that is not a typical commercial chain.

Low-season reduced prices were a nice surprise. Buffet breakfast available for reasonable prices (although didn't try it myself). Comfy clean rooms - very nice to fall back into after the heat of Cebu in July. Near lots of good food options - particularly the seafood and meat grills by Fuente Osmena. Fantastic prices for an incredible selection and only 5 minutes walk away.

Casa Rosario was a pleasant surprise. For only 1,300 a night for the family room, we felt we got more than we paid for. We spent three very comfortable nights on a third floor family room that had been newly refurbished. The beds were soft but firm; and we were very, very surprised that the pillows were the same kind one could find in a five star hotel. Or at least they felt like it. The bathroom was clean and had hot water available. Our room had a balcony and so afforded a view of the outdoors. It wasn't much of a view but we didn't expect a postcard out our window. A daily breakfast buffet is offered for a very affordable price; the menu changes daily. At the ground floor, there is a 24 hour 7-11 store and next door a strip mall offering a coffee shop, a couple of restaurants, a bake shop, laundry and a school and computer supplies store. If you want delicious food, You don't need to go far. There's tasty fried chicken at Mother's at this strip mall and up the road Calda pizza. Zubuchon where you can have a taste of The famous Cebu lechon (roast pig)is walking distance. Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain proclaimed Zubuchon's roast pig the "Best pig...ever!" The Redemptorist church, a Catholic Church, is also a hop away. We would definitely come back to Casa Rosario. Staff are very friendly and accommodating.

The room is big and clean. Hot water is running fine but the shower head is a little pathetic. It is so small that you will not really enjoy showering.
The staff is friendly and very accommodating.
It is located near to the bar scene so please be careful when you go out at night.
I was being followed at night but I manage to shake the stalker off.
Will I stay there again? Of course I will!

As we stayed in the same room now as we have stayed 3 times before (in 3 different years!) my review will primarily,but not only,cover our experience in said room and in the hotel in general. 1.Firstly,the lights in the room: They have redone them to the extent that there are now more lights,although, since the new installed lights are smaller than the previous ones, overall the room is slightly darker! (But passable nevertheless!) 2.The "old" venetian blinds in the room are still the same defective ones (one being smaller than the window it's supposed to cover while the other,bigger, one needs repairing! 3.The aircon unit still is unable to fully or satisfactorilly cool the room,specially in the hot afternoons. 4.The hot and cold water taps in the showers (and even in the wash basin) takes quite a while,to "master" or activate,or trigger,resulting in us taking mostly cold showers out of impatience! Why can't they install them so that one gets cold water when the "cold" tap is turned on and hot water when the "hot" tap is turned on (instead of waiting 5 to 10 minutes for the water to turn hot!)? 5.There is a heating gadget inside the room (above the clothes closet and just below the ceiling) which noisily turns on and off every 20 to 30 minutes,thereby interrupting our sleep! If this is to heat the water to our room why can't it be centralized outside (on the roof of the hotel?) to heat ALL the water supplied to all the rooms? Or is this technology still unavailable in Cebu? 6.We like,and approve,that rooms are only cleaned when we ask,but ,for goodness sake,when replacing or renewing the toilet paper,leave at least two on reserve so we won't have to phone (or go down to the lobby!) for more every one or two days! It is embarrassing! 7.One very nice, and helpful innovation this year: instead of the 5% discount on our room fee for every week of stay we now got 20% discount for being Seniors! And this 20% discount applies whether we stay one day only or longer! Very thoughtful indeed! (The only other "innovation" you could also apply is NOT TO CHARGE the 100 pesos daily "rental charge" for the small fridge in the room as cold water is a necessity in the tropics!) As for all other things, and amenities,we have nothing but praise.
