We traveled to Cebu with our 4 kids recently. Seda was a great place to stay! The rooms were a good size (we stayed in the 2 room suite) with a sink, good sized refrigerator, stove top and dishes. They brought bottled water to the room everyday and the complimentary breakfast buffet was delicious with Filipino and American food options. Jessa, one of the buffet servers, was especially attentive and had memorized our drink orders after the first day! She always served us with a smile. The room beds and pillows were comfortable. The hotel is attached to a mall with lots of restaurants, play areas, and shopping. The surrounding IT Park also has a lot of dining options including Ramen, fast food, Korean, and lots of cafes. We had a great stay!

I stayed in a 1BD for 3 nights. It's a shame that there is no bathtub, but the room is very clean and comfortable. Ms. Fibe, the housekeeper, always wipes the floors thoroughly and makes them sparkling. She does a great job. I will definitely stay at this hotel again when I stay in Cebu!

We went there to celebrate Mom's birthday, and surely we had a blast. The employees, notably Sir Nathan at the front desk and Miss Wengi at Straight Up Bar, are incredibly friendly and helpful. I adore how everyone in Seda would greet us with warm smile. Booked two rooms and I must say each room is very clean but the lighting in Room 1614 was kind of dim, hopefully they will install more lights in this room soon. The pool was also very nice and the staff would really ensure the guests' safety and comfort. Without a doubt, I'll return soon!

I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding two significant issues my party and I encountered during our recent stay at Seda Hotel Central Bloc Cebu.
Firstly, upon checking into our room, we discovered glass shards around the bed area. This was an alarming oversight in cleanliness and safety, especially considering that any contact with the shards could have caused injury. It is extremely concerning that such a basic standard of room preparation was not met.
Secondly, we had a dinner reservation at the rooftop restaurant and specifically requested an outdoor table with a view. This request was clearly communicated at the time of booking. However, upon arriving at the restaurant, we were told that the outdoor tables were full and that no specific request for seating had been noted. This was both frustrating and disappointing, as the outdoor seating was a significant part of our dining experience expectations.
Both incidents reflect a lack of attention to detail and customer care, which detracted from what should have been a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
I hope that these concerns are taken seriously, as they highlight opportunities for improvement in your service. I kindly request an explanation for these issues and the steps being taken to ensure they do not recur for future guests.

During our week-long stay at this establishment, we have found the experience to be less than satisfactory, despite the convenient location. The quality of food offered is below average, and the amenities such as the pool and gym are of mediocre standard.
The most significant issue, however, pertains to the housekeeping services, which have consistently fallen short of expectations despite assurances from management. Our concerns have been raised multiple times to no avail. Housekeeping duties appear limited to basic tasks such as bed-making, trash removal, towel replacement, and water replenishment, with little attention given to essential cleaning tasks.
Specifically, our floors remain uncleaned and unmopped, table surfaces go unwiped, and old toiletries are left alongside new ones in the bathroom. The bathroom itself receives minimal attention beyond restocking toilet paper.
Of particular concern is the reusing of bathrobes without replacement, despite being left on the floor for refreshing. To verify this, discreet marks were placed on the robes, which were returned unchanged after purported cleaning.
Furthermore, the hallways on the 7th floor emit a persistent odor attributed to three significant food spills or vomit marks. This issue could be effectively addressed through thorough shampooing, yet it continues unresolved despite our feedback.
It is disheartening that despite our repeated expressions of concern, no substantive improvements have been made. We strongly caution against choosing this establishment for accommodation if alternative options are available.

That's a scam! They should update their facilities page to say "non-smoking hotel" instead of "non-smoking room." It's strange that they didn't allow me to smoke at the rooftop bar, even though it's an open area. Very disappointing, and I wouldn't recommend this hotel to any smokers. It's very frustrating when you have to leave the building just to smoke and continue enjoying your drink.

Was tired of the fried and greasy food that I found everywhere at IT park and needed a fresh change. Seda was a brand I have very high expectations of, so I decided to have my last solo meal in Cebu at Misto at Seda Central Bloc. I wish I could say that the meal was memorable. It was but for all the wrong reasons.
I arrived right before 8pm, or halfway through their 6pm-10pm Saturday dinner buffet. The place was about a third full.
The two ladies at the entrance were friendly and one of them took me to my table, then off to the buffet line I went.
The sushi station was nearly empty and there was supposed to be a seafood station but the cook was MIA. On to the salads… a sad collection of wilted iceberg lettuce and romaine lettuce that had black wilted tips — substandard leaves that would have normally ended in the bin when I cook at home. Dressing was only ranch or thousand island. Beside were trays of salami, premade salads. I chose what I thought was caprese but turned out to be a weird caprese with mango stack.
I went to the roasts, which were made up of chopped chicken, pork and whole fried fish with a sweet chili sauce. Right beside them were raw fish and meats for grilling… once again, without anyone behind the counter.
First bite of the roasts told me that they were barely seasoned and were dry as bones. I skipped the fish because, well, it looked like a bunch of cats made a run for it and left a pile of sad looking leftovers.
First plate came and went. So I made a dash for seconds. Other cooked dishes were beef stew (tough meat that needed at least 30 minutes more cooking time), pork curry (flavorless and dry), chicken with mushroom gravy (dry), and fish with cream sauce (dry). Finally someone came to help with the grilled chicken and I was told not to touch the fish. I gave clear instructions on what I wanted. Repeated it. And repeated it again.
When I received my plate of grilled food, it was all wrong.
The only saving grace was probably the ice cream, which at least had bits of mango.
For PHP1199, this was the most expensive plates of dry food I’ve had. I told one of the staff about it and she only gave a standard “I’ll tell the team about it”.
When I left, none of the staff even asked me about my experience.
Definitely won’t be back.

A big shout out Helbert Delos Santos 🫶 (ang bait nyo po samin) and to kuya guard (i forgot his name) who gave me a quick tour sa other side ng bldg. I thought kasi pool lang nandun eh meron pa lang buffet and drinks. Moreno po si kuya around 30sh na ata. Thank you po sa kabutihan nyo! Worth it po yung pag stay namin sa hotel dahil sa mga taong tulad nyong lahat

My family and I with my Mama stayed here for 2 days upon arrival to Cebu and 3 days before leaving Cebu and those days have been nothing but AMAZING. All thanks to Ms. Loren Dignos and her outstanding team. She made sure that my mom's room and our room are right next to each other so Lola can spend more time with the kids. The Filipino breakfast option was nothing but delightful and enjoyed the most by everyone especially my kids. My daughter loved the rice and dried fish and my son loved the puto and sikwate. It was such a treat for them after not having it for almost 4years. The pool was the other highlight that my kids enjoyed the most. Pool was well maintained, and fresh towels were readily available. The beds and pillows were quite comfortable that despite the jetlag we were all able to have a restful sleep. Sheets were very clean and soft which was pointed out by my mother. She was so satisfied with her stay in the hotel that she said from now on she will be staying in Seda Central Bloc every time she visits Cebu, "With Ms. Dignos and her team I know that I will be well taken care of." We also had the opportunity to enjoy their buffet lunch before our flight. I want to thank Ms. Raizel (I may have misspelled her name) for accommodating our huge group since we did not have any reservations. She was very attentive to our needs and made sure that the food was to our liking. In conclusion, we will definitely be coming back to Seda Central Bloc for our next trip to Cebu. Not only is it in a perfect location, clean, comfortable and beautiful rooms, delicious food but the professionalism, friendliness, service and care from the front desk to the room service, waiters and door men is incomparable to the other hotels that we have stayed. My family and I want to thank everyone for making sure our stay was unforgettable and most of all we want to thank Ms. Dignos for making sure that my mother's stay was comfortable for her and for making my children feel very special and at home with her acts of thoughtfulness. We will never forget what you have done for us! Thank you Seda and we hope to see you soon.

On this occasion we stayed in the 2 bedroom suite. The bedrooms were a good size but the sitting area felt small. There was also some mould on the inside of the washing machine which couldn't be removed. Breakfast is fine and the staff are excellent throughout. Check in and out was very smooth. There are small windows on the bottom of the main window in each room which can be opened. Unfortunately, the seals appear to have gone on these and as a consequence the street noise/traffic is quite audible in the rooms. There's a nice swimming pool, gym, bar and restaurant on the roof. All of which are worth a visit. There is a supermarket in the basement which is handy and there is a mall underneath the hotel which can be accessed from the hotel itself.
