Basic Yet Convenient

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 30, 2016
My family stayed here for 3 nights for the wake & burial of my uncle in Cebu. We chose the place since it is very close to IT Park (walking distance), JY Square Mall & to our relatives' house in Lahug. The staff was very quick in responding to my e-mail queries, hence reservation & check-in was a breeze. The price is very cheap & reasonable. The room was clean, and the airconditioning of the room was good. Cable TV was also available. The wifi was a bit spotty but this wasn't a problem since we were out most of the time. Parking was also available which was good considering the location & cheap price of the hotel. I only have to mention a few downsides during our stay :

1) if you are travelling in a big group, you'd have to book multiple rooms. The room we booked was quite small (this was already a deluxe room). Only an extra mattress was available since there were 3 of us.

2) there is an ongoing construction in the area, and the hotel is located on a secluded street which might be difficult to find especially at night.

3) the CR was clean but considerably small. There was also no shower curtain available. Only soap was provided.

4) The staff were nice but there were times when they seemed to act unprofessionally (such as receptionists applying make-up & combing their hair at the front desk & staff knocking very loudly on the door)

If you are travelling on a tight budget & need to be close to IT Park, I would definitely recommend this place. I just hope that management takes note of the improvements that could still be made.

Location-Its just a walking distance to IT Park but you need to pass by a small dark alley in going to the hotel
Price- Good for you if you're looking for a budget friendly stay
Facilities- Although the interiors are new and modern, rooms are kinda small -you can barely fit in the toilet (If you move a lot, you'll be hurting you knees and elbows in the wall), the bed is small even for a single person and the mattress is hard, sheets are also too thin and provides no comfort so you really get what you paid for. The building has no elevators so you need to call for assistance with your luggage especially if your staying few stairs above. Their internet also has a patchy connection. Their pre-ordered meals can be delivered right at your doorsteps but don't expect too much as they come in very small servings.
*Most of the staff are accommodating though, Hats Off to the Security Guard who volunteered to get me a cab despite the heavy downpour outside :)

It's near IT Park but situated in a somewhat secluded street, a tip, just mention zerenity hotel so your driver won't have difficulty finding the place. As there's no elevator, we asked for their deluxe room on the second floor, a nice, cozy little room with a good wifi coonevtion. I have to mention some downsides though, the bathroom is so small you could hardly move, and when you sit, your knees will touch the wall, but overall, it was still a good stay, I will still be back if I'm on a tight budget.

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.

nice room, decent place and location since they are located near at IT Park where some of restaurants are located. during our visit in cebu they have SUGBO Mercado which is available every Thursday and Friday.

Next time that we wil visit cebu we're surely stay at this place.

Room tip: they don't have elevator for higher floor rooms. so if your traveling with pregnant women just ask the room near front desk.

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.
