stayed there for 8 nights. pros: - the location: it's near Ayala shopping mall, a lot of taxis and drivers know where it is. - the staff is very friendly and always try to accommodage requests - they have healthy meals which is great for those with dietary restrictions - love the breakfast buffet - fast wifi. my work is zoom-heavy and I was able to work without any internet issues

cons: - DUSTY! the room at first glance looks clean, but the corners and under the furniture are dusty, and the a/c is dusty too- it looks way overdue for a deep clean - staff can be slow, especially in the restaurant, maybe they're understaffed? - the breakfast buffet is worth the price. lunch was consistenly the worst- with presentation, taste, and portions lacking. - dinner buffet is mediocre. don't go an hour before it closes, the meats are dry and bard, everything has been overcooked because of the warmer and lights.

The Seda is a lovely hotel in Cebu city Centre. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are spacious with a super comfortable bed. The immaculately clean hotel has a small pool and outdoor area which makes you feel like you’re not in the city centre but it’s in fact adjacent a massive pristine shopping mall with many restaurant or cafe options. Highly recommended trying the hotel buffet - the range of foods is amazing - very tasty!

Unfortunately due to Cebu’s heavy traffic it meant while the hotel was not so far away from the ports to go any island tours required to start at 4am.

The hotel service staff is very kind, and the guards are also very enthusiastic. It is a safe hotel. It is recommended that parents with children can live here.It is very close to the Ayala Shopping Center and can be reached in 1 minute along the walkway. Great food, lots of options. What I like the most is the service of the staff (except the counter is more serious). I recommend that everyone who comes to Cebu can live here. It is very convenient to go to the airport or in the urban area.

The facilities in the hotel are average, and the shower head is a bit moldy.

The buffet breakfast was very delicious. The hotel is right beside ayala center cebu with a nearby transport terminal. The staff was very accommodating and hospitable. Don't hesitate to ask them for any of your concerns. The room was clean although not quite spacious. Internet was fast and reliable. Would definitely book here again if I plan to stay in the city.

If you have kids and want to visit places like cebu ocean park, anjo's world, or cebu safari, expect a bit of travel time from those places. But, if you just want a place in the center, this place is the best.

\We were loyal customers of the former Marriott and were very disappointed that they closed. Seda (part of Ayala Group) took over the hotel under their name. The renovations have not been extensive, so happily surprised that the hotel has retained its character. Seda has done an excellent job. Location wise, you can't beat this place either, with direct access to Ayala. We will be back.

aside from the buildiong being old, very old, it is s till doing the job. tastefully and subtly renovated. good to find the carpets in the rooms having been removed. There was really nothing to dislike. Happily surprised.

the pool and the location

definitely you could " Steam Clean " the room carpets - and here is a strange one - the fridge is something I use a lot - but you have the fridge in an " ENCLOSED " cupboard ...... not advisable - the heat from the fridge motor locks in the cupboard and when the door is opened - it is like a mini sauna in there - and so the fridge is never cold ! - outside or more importantly inside . You need to " cut " the timber unit to allow the hot air to escape - to keep the fridge " average cold " ( but not good ) i left the cabinet door open all day ---- Try it - go to a cupboard - get on your knees and feel inside the enclosed fridge cabinet --------------At best the fridge will blow a motor soonert than it should ----------At worst = a definite " FIRE TRAP " . thanks .

Wonderful stay and location plus I enjoyed the breakfast meal as well. It was my very first stay in this hotel and I truly enjoyed the place. I wish to thank Erlyn, Joann, and Ms. Fuentes for taking care of us and other guest in the hotel. The rest of the staff did a marvelous job in making our stay memorable as well.

I would suggest to buy new sets of bath towels. This is what I see that needs to be upgraded. Other that this, GREAT PLACE to stay!

Great location, friendly staff, and nice facilities. Connected to the best mall in Cebu through an exclusive access from the hotel (2 minutes walking distance). Close to many coffee places and restaurants.

Unfortunately there is some construction work happening outside the hotel, so it can be noisy during the day if your room faces that area. Nevertheless, the staff was very understanding and offered me to change the room. If you are planning to use the room during the day, make sure you request a room on the part away from the construction site.

The wonderful staff were so accommodating, so helpful and greeted us with beautiful smile. I was impressed with how open and spacious their lobby was, it’s nicely decorated. I like their buffet breakfast, enough selection of food both Filipino and Western style breakfast. This hotel is adjacent to the Ayala Shopping Mall where there’s lots of restaurants, coffee shops, shopping outlets and Supermarket. Our 2-bedrooms were not so small, good size… it has two double beds and a chaise lounge.

I find the pool is too small, it needs improvement with the style/shape and surrounding landscaping. Additionally, there should be a separate pool for the children. During our three nights stay, the cleaner didn’t do any vacuuming in both 2-bedrooms, I was very disappointed.

Everything! I loved the Seda Ayala Cebu. I miss the comfortable beds, the fast wifi, the nice bathroom with hot showers, and I really miss the breakfast; I miss having all the hashbrowns, pork, beef, fruits, nice hot coffee, pancakes, etc. I really also loved the gym; Oh my god, their gym is the best! It's so big and complete. You can easily spend 2 hours there. The pool area was also really beautiful with nice ambience and music. You can't beat the location of the Seda Cebu; It's right across the mall and to all the nice cafes of Cebu including Abaca. And the staff were so polite and professional, will highly recommend this place!

That my stay was too short; 2 nights is too lacking for this wonderful place!
