I like the location and the staff and that they go about their functions in a orderly manner. The room was nice. But could do with a bit of sprucing up. A moveable table would do good. The bathroom lighting leaves a lot to be desired for shaving as it is quite dim. And, I did face a lot of problems with WiFi connectivity; which I wish that the owners would look into. All-in-all, I will definitely visit the place again, when I am in Cebu next.

I liked everything except the facts that: 1. There is no table in the room. If we need to have food. 2. The lighting in the toilet is poor, and as such is an inconvenience for men, when it comes to shaving.

Easy access to public transportation routes, malls, restaurants, and services. Escario St is very busy, so crossing the street is not for the uninitiated or the faint of heart. Air quality is also a concern.

Central Hotel close to all facilities & beautiful
Rooms are basic, but they are kept very clean and the staff including the guards are very, very friendly and helpful. We spent 5 days there and it was always good to come “home” at the end of the day. The guards out the front would most of the time be a step ahead of us in what we would need and along with the other staff and the amenities made our stay seamless. Thank you to all the staff you made our stay not only comfortable but memorable.

Very poor place to stay! You can do better!
My girlfriend and I stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks, so I think i have a pretty good idea about the amenities and services offered here. First of all, the service was poor. Really only two of the people that were working there seemed to know or care about their jobs or the comfort of the guests. The girls that greeted us there when we arrived treated us like they were doing us a favour letting us stay there, rather than like guests. I didn't feel welcome, cared for, accommodated, or humanised. I wasn't crashing at my friends pad for two weeks, I was a cash paying customer and expected to be treated hospitably. Moreover, the staff are in the habit of making rude remarks to the guests in Tagalog or Cebuano and that is wrong on so many levels. I can't explain why it happened, other than due to a lack of training or sheer unprofessionalism, but it was uncalled for. My girlfriend, a Filipino, agreed so herself. Lastly, we had a lot of mosquitos in our room, ants on the walls, and after only 3 or 4 days of staying at the Escario, our shower drain clogged, flooding the bathroom. There also was construction going on in a new restaurant just a ways from where were were staying. There was cutting, sawing, banging, laughing, scraping going on till 2:00, 3:00, and sometimes 4:00am for almost a week. I pleaded with hotel staff to have it stopped or controlled practically every night, but it went on and on. It bears worth saying that the best part of our stay at the Escario was leaving.

Cozy Hotel
The best thing about this hotel is that it is not vertical. No hassle of taking the elevator because everything you need outside your room (like resto, convenience store, transpo) is just a few steps away. Very cleam and comfy, it's like a hotel that has the feels of a homey resort. Another thing is, it is within the heart of the city. Considering Cebu's terrible traffic, you can go anywhere in the city by all means of transpo.

Room and bathroom are quite minimalistic, but OK for the price range. Their request for a P 500.00 deposit - for incidentals (?) - is annoying.

the first 2 days was really bad, lots of bugs, the room stinks, shower drainage was not draining at all, few roach...and more bugs. on the 3 day requested to transfer to another room, which is much better. also make sure there is no 3 person otherwise they want you to pay for extra person.

Good service...feels like a resort, chalet style
I am overall quite impress with my stay. Convenient location with many food eateries. Feels like a resort stay. The only problem I had was the bed. It seems to be dirty and dusty. Don't know when was the last time the bed was changed. But I am particularly impress with their friendly service and stable WIFI connection. There was even a power circuit blackout in that street but the hotel has a power generator backup so only the hotel has lights. Well done!

A good hotel in Cebu Capitol area.
A nice mid-priced hotel in Cebu Capitol area. Escario is well-located, and the rooms are simple but comfortable. Good shower, TV, free wifi, but no safe, no desk, coffe-making facility nor minibar. The 7/11 and a good Italian restaurant/pizzeria are just around the corner. The PHP 500 deposit is a bit weird, but this is the Philippines...

Curtain does not cover the sun out completely. Also lacks table for working and other stuff. However, it's near to everywhere and a hidden place in the middle of the city.

Could be Chic & Unique, with Upgrade & Vision.
The room had absolutely no amenities. No desk, chair{s}, refrigerator, or anything to keep water and other beverages cool. No hot water in the sink for shaving. The staff informed, me when I inquired, the hot water was in the shower head. The shower water was "luke warm" at best, not suitable for a good shave. The beds appeared to be in excess of 20 years, probably the original one installed. The beds were not sturdy--when you rolled over in bed, they would move.

A Great Value Hotel at the Uptown Area of Cebu
The minute I entered I felt that I was properly accommodated and took care of properly by the staff. They will always give me a change of towel, 2 bottles of water, soap and shampoo every day of my stay (I stayed for 6 days) The location is great as it is close to my seminar place. It offers the privacy I wanted but close to the happening of the area. I was lucky to witness a car show and a rave party within my weeks stay. The restaurants are great...love ZUBUCHON and CAFE SAFFRE

Newer ,well maintained hotel. 18 min walk to Ayala mall , located in Shopping center with restaurants and 7-11 . next to 24 hr. McDonalds and across the street from 24 hr.Jolibee ...Very Comfortable hotel, clean and has good size rooms... Good wireless internet. 25 minutes taxi ride to Airport except during morning and early evening rush hour. would stay here again. Some taxi drivers do not know where it is. Tell them the Escario hotel on Escario street, right across the street from Jolibee in the 7-11 shopping center. The Maxwell hotel is also across the street
