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 building is located at gen maxilom avenue corner juana osmena st. beside is a gasoline station and a 7-11 store. the location is good, just a few meters walk to fuente osmena circle or mango mall. the room is very clean and with windows, new air conditioner, free wifi, strong hot/cold shower, the place is newly renovated, so everything is good. but the only cons is for those with many heavy luggage, senior citizens or person with disability, the building has no elevator, climbing the steep stairs could be a very challenging task.

The rooms is perfectly located near all the beautiful restaus,pubs & bars in the downtown area. You can easily find it since it is beside National Book store or at Gasoline station. What i love about the hotel is their reception area, so classy and stylish though it’s quite small. As of now, they only have 1 floor and i think it’s under construction for the 2nd floor. The room is clean but poky. In fairness, the CR is spacious. The only bad experience we had was their TV plus connection, and it wasn’t fixed the entire stay. Though the staff were friendly and polite. Overall, it was still pleasant staycation.

Long story coming up; TLDR of it is that despite having complete documents, the staff will refuse to honor your booking.
I had a confirmed reservation and an acknowledged request for luggage storage prior to checkin. Once there, I showed my ID and booking information. One female employee returned my phone to me and told me they were closed. I reiterated that my booking was confirmed and that actually they still had ads up on Traveloka, Booky, etc saying otherwise. She said she had no idea about those but that she was not going to honor my reservation. I asked her to call management. She said she wouldn't, it wasn't her job, and that I should do it. I told her to fetch her manager. More than hour later, another woman walks in, sits at reception and asks me if OYO had given me feedback. She doesn't confirm if she was the manager and proceeds to speak only in rapid Cebuano. I ask to talk to another employee, preferably someone who will speak to me in English. She asks "Bisaya ka?" and I tell her no, and I ask her again to find me someone who can speak to me. She then proceeds to "explain" again in rapid Cebuano. Finally, I asked her to put in writing why she was refusing my reservation and she actually says "I cannot write." She keeps insisting that despite my acknowledged and confirmed booking, she will not honor my reservation. She kept insisting that they only accepted a certain category of people--since I was neither foreign nor a locally stranded individual, she will not honor my reservation. I told her I belonged to a third category, provider of a basic service. She and the other girl confer and realize they didn't look closely enough at my identification. They shift strategies and first claim that I never showed a certificate of employment, I told them they didn't ask to see it before and I show it to them. Then they claim that I didn't fill out a health declaration form. I tell them they didn't give me one. And in the most remarkable cover-your-ass maneuver ever, the second woman then claims she is not even with management but an employee at the nearby 7-11.
At some point, a stray cat wandered into the lobby and made itself comfortable. Cute for some. Allergy trigger for others.
The management at OYO did call. They offered first an old hotel with uniformly bad reviews and then second one that was inaccessible and located in another part of town.
Long story short: don't book this hotel. Bad service. You deserve better.
