Cockroach. Big fat cockroach found in the sink at 4 AM. Called for housekeeping to remove it and…read morethey did not come for 10 mins which is a long time for someone who is extremely afraid of roaches. And where there is one roach, there's usually a family. I would expect at Radisson hotel to be cleaner and roach-free. Their king sized bed is actually two double beds pushed together. Sleeping near the middle of the bed meant back pain since it is not one big mattress and we were essentially sleeping on the edge of a double mattress. Another downside is that they would not allow for strong smelling fruits and foods to be brought into the room. I wanted to purchase a small handful of dried fish and local delicacies as souvenirs, but I didn't want to be fined by the hotel. Our flight left early in the morning so we couldn't find time to go before the airport. We didn't have a chance to visit any of the amenities. The pool looked nice from afar, and we wanted to visit the spa but we could never make it before 10 PM. The location is generally good as it's close to the mall where you can dine, shop, and exchange currency. Overall, this stay was incredibly disappointing.

Overall, enjoyed my stay here. There's a walkway right into the SM City mall next door which is…read moreplentiful with restaurants and shops and salons. The gym in the basement has very basic aging equipment though, and the pool was emptied out at the time of my stay. Nonetheless there's a big grassy field with hammocks and the pool bar was open but quiet. I got a Suite which was very spacious and came with lounge access with happy hours and daily clothes pressing complimentary. The breakfast choices were good. I especially liked their Chinese food selection of dim sum and fried rice and noodles and congee. My only issue was that as a night shift worker, they weren't able to accomodate any requests for overnight housekeeping. Still on the whole it's a solid 4 stars.

IT'S A RIP OFF, A TOTAL WASTE OF HARD EARNED MONEY, ROOMS ARE DIRTY AND STAFF IS RUDE! Their online booking is very misleading and wrong information. I booked a Family Suite (PA) which describes as * Pool Access, * 1 Queen Size Bed * 2 Single Bed * 2 Baths and * 1 mini Kitchen. The receptionist insisted that the family suite I got was on the 3RD FLOOR and they had NO ELEVATOR. They also asked me to pay the full PHP15,600 as they said I haven't made any payment yet when the online booking was made. That was the opposite of what was said on the confirmation email saying that the amount to be paid at the property was PHP7,800. I asked for a manager to help verify the reservation. The receptionist looked at each other. One smirked while the other one just replied, "that's what really happens when you book online". They didn't give me a manager. My family was tired from the trip and we didn't know much of other places to go that may be vacant or can accommodate us by the time we get there. Our feet were black with dirt because their floors are not clean. We found out dirty streaks of mop marks. Looked like it was not cleaned for days or they might have used the same dirty water from the other rooms they also cleaned. Towels are limited to the number of guests for the room, stiff and rough. It smelled like it was recently used then air-dried. They ask for additional fee for towels too! I paid extra for an additional guest and they didn't even give me an extra bed, not even a rollover. These place is a RIP OFF! And with the price I paid, didn't even include breakfast. The place is so crowded with day users using the pool. You wont be able to use it not til night time when they are gone by 9PM. We noticed in the morning, the pool had dirty bubbles and GREASE residue on the corners! Water slides smelled like pee. And is not safe for kids! Wifi is horrible! works for an hour and kicks you out. We had to keep asking reception for a code which didn't work. We checked out and asked for a paper to leave comments and suggestions and they said they ran out. They didn't even give at least a blank paper where I can write on. I highly recommend STAYING AWAY from this hotel if you are big on safety, hygiene, and good service. Their hotel staff are rude, and they are not at all bothered to show it. I just learned after the stay too that this hotel has had several complaints from other local customers because they are unsanitary. This hotel is a big fat joke! Don't waste your money on them!

Pricey because room rates start at php4800 (php3800 off-season) deluxe to php9800 (php7800…read moreoff-season) family room but the good thing is that the rates come with complimentary passes to their pool amenities. The resort is also not very strict with the number of guests so that's a plus too! Your checkin entitles you to enjoy their pool area which include a kiddie pool, an adult pool and a mini jacuzzi! They also have a 4-5 storey high slides for more fun! The staff are very courteous and is always smiling at the guests but the guards not so much. Perfect for weekend getaways and for family bondings! Highly recommended!

I needed to work some days, but their internet connections was horrible. I couldn't even open a website. I complained about it and asked the front desk where I could possibly get good connections , they just responded that they couldn't do anything since they're fully booked! If that was the test of me keeping my job, i would have lost it. The only bright side for me is that their breakfast was great! Ensaymada and all their breads, too! Plus it's not difficult to get a cab/taxi. (Lesson learned: if you needed to work online, go elsewhere. It was last minute that we decided to stay for another two days and moved to Seda Bloc. Try there instead.) Hotel Rooms were super outdated, too! As in!

It was just what we needed after a 5 hour flight from Japan. Check in was super quick and we were able to get to our room right away. The only downside was the room. It wasn't bad and it was definitely clean. But it was so outdated. It looked exactly the same as when I was there in 2016. The decor just needs updating. Bathroom was also very clean and had all the necessary amenities we needed after a long flight. And our room did have a wonderful view of Cebu which was nice We also went to the casino super earlier on the morning. Only tables open at that time was baccarat but almost all the machines I saw were working. We went to the breakfast buffet which wasn't included with our stay. There was a lot of good options and the waiters were quick to remove the used dishes.

I have to admit, I had misgivings booking this hotel because I didn't like the pictures of it that…read moreI saw on the internet. Arriving at the hotel, I kept my expectations at a minimum because I didn't want to be disappointed. Hotel checkin starts at 1pm and the process didn't take long. It would have been over sooner had the staff focused on checking me in rather than telling her story to a friend. The room I got was 413 and it was facing the road. I thought it would be noisy but I turned out all the sound was blocked from the inside. The room was located in an area where the sun shone so it was a bit hot when I entered. Fortunately, the A/C was able to cool the room in less than 5 minutes. The bed was actually very soft, something I didn't totally expect. It had a thick blanket to keep the temperature from freezing you so that's a plus too. The bed also has a pullout cabinet you can use in case the one inside the room is not enough - neat! Don't forget to bring your own shampoo and dental kit as they only provide soap. The water heater works great it didn't take long to warm the water when you need a quick bath. My reservation came with Free breakfast for two - ham and longganisa. It was nothing to write about but considering the price I paid (php1045), it was a great bonus. Would I recommend this hotel? Absolutely, it's right in the middle of Fuente Osmeña so it's close to everything. If you're thinking of visiting Cebu for Sinulog, you might want to consider booking this hotel.

The hotel is located walking distance to Ayala Mall if you want to do some shopping and look for other food options. However, take a look at the map at the lobby first on how to get to/from safely as the road is very chaotic. They have security guards at the entrance with x-ray machines. But it seems pretty common in Cebu all over. Breakfast buffet was included during our stay, it was extensive and had lots of local menu items to choose from. I noticed that coffee is served with whole milk in most places in the Philippines in general. That was a problem for me a lot because my stomach and I do not enjoy the taste of whole milk. There's also a great massage place around the corner from the hotel called Yolo Spa that was fantastic.

I was also able to leave my personal belongings in their safe box as I was headed to Bantayan Island where I knew I had to travel light. I'd like to give a special thanks to all the front staff including Ms. Chia, the manager on duty who help me leave my personal belonging at the hotel. The Concierge team was also excellent as well as all the guards who always opened the door for us every time we came in and out of the hotel. Also thank you to Ms. Arceli Canoy who came to greet me and handed me my belongings when I returned back from my trip from Bantayan Island. They all truly deserve high marks for their dedication for providing every guest and especially us, the best experience possible. Our room was huge. We had the California King size bed. We had a nice view of the city on both sides, full glass (floor to ceiling) which was fantastic. Our bathroom was nice and modern. There was even a nice desk and chair to sit comfortably. We also dined in the first night downstairs. We truly enjoyed the Sax player and his fantastic singing voice. He was very talented. The best part about Quest Hotel - it is centrally located in the heart of Cebu City. It's only about a 15 minute taxi ride to IT Park where we went on the weekend for their Sugbo Mercado (an all food night market) with many local food favorites. Ayala Mall is only a short 10 minute walk from the hotel which was great for us because they had tons of food available, and very convenient for shopping. I stayed at other hotels in Cebu City during my stay here, but after all said and done, I would return to Quest for my next visit in a heartbeat and highly recommend their excellent service. Cheers!

It is very close to IT Park (where most call center/BPO organizations are located). They have very tight security everywhere around the hotel that makes me feel safe. It is a little annoying getting in via a car or cab as they have a three fold check to ensure you're a legit cab driver. The upside is that if I ever had an issue in a cab, I know the Marriott would take care of me. There are times of the day that it is difficult to hail a cab, and the concierge is happy to help pre-plan a cab at a specific time for you. The service throughout the hotel is absolutely amazing. They make me feel very privileged to be there. I don't know if I have ever opened a door besides to my room. They are so willing to help you get whatever you need whenever you want. I have also been coming here for about 5 years and have come to know many members of the staff as friends rather than as a typical customer service person. I think that the breakfast buffet is truly stunning in terms of options . Over the years it has been better than others, but this time through I was amazed. They have your typical omelette/egg stand as well as fresh pancakes and waffles to order. But they added a new curry bar that was absolutely delicious. Then they have a great spread of Cebuano, Japanese, US, Chinese, and Korean dishes. Also they have a fresh fruit bar where all you have to do is ask for freshly squeezed juice. The fresh OJ is FANTASTIC (and I eat about 5 mangoes a day in the PH. YUM). The location is not the only reason why I stay here. This Marriott is connected to Ayala Mall which is a big perk. I stay here for a hefty stint and love to be able to walk to the mall for other food options. It means I don't have to eat hotel food every day (although I think they have great options so I can). The mall has cheaper food options than the Marriott. Now that I'm on it, I'm sure that there are cheaper places that are just as nice in Cebu. I stay for business and security is my number one priority....and I feel very safe at the Marriott. Secondly, the location is perfect for what I am trying to accomplish. The pool is nice and well kept. They have 2 bars in the facility that are open 8am til midnight. Breakfast opens at 6. Other than that, you can order room service for food and the prices match the cafe/pool bar.
