This budget hotel in Cebu is just P1,000 with breakfast

Looking for a budget hotel in Cebu? Check this one out! For just PHP1,000, I already got a plated breakfast! And it’s just at a quiet street near Cebu Doctor’s Hospital.

Travel can be expensive in the Philippines and hotel rates can be higher compared to other ASEAN countries, except for Singapore. Even if you book with Airbnb, rates can easily be a big part of your expenses. Luckily, I checked Agoda, as what I always do for the lower rates compared to most other booking sites.

Budget hotel in Cebu

If budget is a consideration, there are actually well located budget hotels in Cebu. Yes, there are affordable hotels in Cebu and you just have to find it. Travelbee Capitol Inn is one such hotel that I stayed recently. There are actually several budget hotels along Gil Garcia Street but at the time of this booking, it was a good rate for its type. I checked the hotel photos and found it clean and good.

Travelbee Capitol Inn is one of several Travelbee hotels around Cebu City distributed in well appointed locations. This hotel has only two levels and I got the standard room with double bed. The front desk is stylish and modern with a dining area beside it.

When I arrived, the staff assigned me to a windowless room and there’s no cash deposit compared to other hotels. The bed is comfortable, has respectable wifi speed and aircon was working fine. The pillows are rather small but just okay for me. The toilet has a bidet and there’s liquid soap/shampoo dispenser inside. There’s also a heater for the shower.

Breakfast options

When I booked this hotel via Agoda, the plated breakfast was already included, which was a great deal for a budget hotel. There were just two options to choose: pork longganisa and corned beef. I got the latter. Your breakfast has a cup of rice and scrambled egg (I so like this!). You can also enjoy iced tea and instant coffee. Breakfast is available daily from 0600H-1000H. The hot/cold water dispenser is also available 24 hours.

Should you book this budget hotel in Cebu? If you want to save and stay comfortably too, do check this out. This is especially true if you just need a place to freshen up and sleep. I’m not so particular about TV programs available as I don’t watch TV when booked in a hotel.

Getting there and how to book

Location wise, this budget hotel in Cebu, Travelbee Capitol Inn is just walking distance to Cebu Doctor’s Hospital. It’s between Fuente Osmena and Cebu Provincial Capitol, at a quiet street along Gil Garcia St. There are several restaurants and fastfood chains catering to every budget around the area. There’s a shopping mall too. If you want to go around, there are several taxis, motor taxis, jeepneys and buses.

*Take note that the PHP1,000 rate was booked via Agoda and is not guaranteed as it fluctuates depending on demand. Rack rate at the hotel starts at around PHP1,500 for the same standard double room.
