Good overall value for $. Very relaxed atmos - a homey feeling! A peaceful oasis in the midst of the chaos of noisy traffic in the vacinity. Close to airport. Personal attention of Owner. Staff very cordial & helpful. Great food prepared by an obviously good Chef! (fried fish twice was outstanding!). Look fwd to further stays should the future bring my return. 🤗

The place is not easy to find, since it's hidden behind the Cebu beaten paths and sewage Kingdom. Rooms are ordinary. Water pressure is pathetic. Staff are nice and helpful. The bar area is cool, good for chill. All forms of Caucasian veterans come to hang out here with their Fillippino girlfriends lol 😂.

not great
The air conditioners did not work. We had two rooms because of family and neither one worked, and the water pressure for the shower was terrible... Had to get a bucket and hand scoop the water.,but it took forever for the bucket to fill up

Hidden Hotel Near The Airport
Experience was okay to great, since the family room we booked in the inn had great a/c and the two beds were comfortable to sleep at. There are problems of course, since the wash room had no faucets and pails in case of no available tissues. The tissue that was available wasn't very big, and it easily disintegrates if forced from its dispenser. The washroom sink is the biggest problem, since there is an unnecessary space between the sink and the shelf. We had to "lean in" when we are brushing our teeth or washing our faces, which is a hassle for us, especially if we're on a hurry to leave for the airport. The bathroom/shower room has a problem as well, since there are no hangers to place our towels after taking a bath. The thermostat for the overhead shower is also too high, causing us to have a hard time switching the temperature from "very hot" to "lukewarm". There is also an odd smell when we first checked in to our room, but we managed to have that solved by opening the balcony door. The balcony door was just right, though we didn't manage to spend a lot of time there. In terms of the entertainment value, there were a lot of cable channels on t.v. We were able to watch both local and international channels while relaxing in the room. The inn's lobby was just okay, since there is a bar with a wide selection of local and international liquors. We liked the free play given to us on the lone billiard table at the lounge, to pass the time at night. Overall, okay to great inn!

I was just passing through and stayed 2 nights. The hotel was located close to the airport which was why I selected it. It was comfortable enough and was reasonably quiet. The food was terrific, was reasonably priced and the staff were attentive and personable.

Nice hotel room and pools.
The hotel was very nice for the price that I paid I'm not sure if you could get a better room. I stayed there for my entire trip from May 27 till June 16th of 2017 the staff were nice. I had a couple of problems with things and went to the front desk and they fixed the problem very quickly. The food was good and I had a very enjoyable stay and when I go back to the Philippines I will stay there again. So THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THE STAFF OF MB'S GARDEN

Perfect for my overnight layover
The staff was wonderfully accommadating after my flight from Los Angeles. By chance, I'd been feverish for 2 days before my flight so I was exhausted. They got me in a room early so I could stretch out. For that alone, I'm so grateful. Otherwise, an older building but well maintained and very clean and comfortable. Full menu including western foods. The place has character, and not a few characters. Everyone, staff and patrons, were very friendly. I liked my experience a lot. Note, I read some of the negative reviews. I had nor saw any of that. I had a restful, overnight stay. My 4 stars are based on the budget price and overall experience. I hope you'll enjoy MB's Garden Inn as much as I did. If ever I have a layover in Cebu, I'll certainly stay again.

So Gross
When we first arrived in the room there were 2 dead cockroaches! During the 2 nights we were there, 3 more huge cockroaches somehow got into our room. I'll only recommend the place as a hang out spot, nice atmosphere and people, but the rooms are so gross. I never tried the food because if there were that many roaches in the room I can't even imagine how many are in the kitchen!

Hotel literally on the other side of airport
Sounded peaceful by the name, it was off the beaten path, my taxi driver was lost, then around x3, finally found little driveway to back near ally, and shanty housing, ended up at a biker club bar. So strange, but quaint enough filled with Europeans. Eclectic decorations. Room was okay, in back by pool, quiet enough, no hot water, mosquitoes in room, TV, ac, private bath.

Not for me
If you are an alcoholic looking for a great place to hang out and don't mind cockroaches, ant's, dingy worn linens than this will be paradise for you. I have stayed in many places in the PI's over the last 12 years and this is the worst. Staff was friendly other than that, nothing good to say.

最悪のホテル
まずフロントが感じ悪い、立地がわるくまわりに何もない、お客さん白人ばかり、まるで白人専用に感じる、ワイファイが客席では、ほとんど不通、もう二度は完全に有りません。
Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017
こんにちは鈴木敏明 さて、「フロントデスクが悪い」というのはどういう意味ですか? 私たちのものに何か問題があったのですか? またはビュー? 白人の外国人については、アメリカ、オーストラリア、ヨーロッパのお客様がほとんどですが、その場合でも日本からのフレンドリーな顧客がいます。 町に近づきたいのであれば町にあるホテルを選ぶ必要があるかもしれませんが、この価格で見つけるのは難しいと思います。 とにかくコメントをいただきありがとうございます。 親切なお付き合い MBのガーデンインチーム Hello Sir Toshiaki Suzuki Well what you exactly mean with "the front desk is bad"? Was there something wrong with our stuff? Or the view? About only white foreigners, yes the most of our customers are american, australiens and from europe but even then we have also friendly regular customers from Japan. And you are right if you wanna stay closer to the city perhaps you have to choose a hotel in town, but i think is hard to find for this price. Anyway thanks for your comment so we can learn from it. Kind regards MB's Garden Inn Team

車道から150mも奥まったしかも車1台がやっと通れて、そして轍の部分だけ舗装している珍しいホテル
まず驚いたのは入り口が車1台やっと通れるような道が右へ右へと曲がりホテルがみえない。150mぐらいはしり4、 5回曲がったところでやっとみえてきた。フロントの前にあるテーブルで西欧系の人々が5、6人コーヒーやピールで談笑しているのにも驚く。ホテル到着の午後3時頃だが翌日からは朝から飲みながら談笑している。それも毎日。そしてなぜか2週間とまったが東洋人は私一人だったのでなんとなく違和感を覚えた。朝昼晩食堂ではたくさんの大男と二組ぐらい夫婦が滞在している様子。ほとんどロングステイのようである設備はエアコンが弱くつらい日があったのとNHKテレビが入らず退屈した。シャワーはちょうどよい湯が出てトイレの水洗とともによかった。ただ、過去に日本人があまり泊まってない様子で(スタッフが片言の日本語も話せず。)これもつらい。結論として私はこのホテルに二度と泊まらない。

スタッフ対応が素晴らしかった。 部屋の電灯が暗いのを指摘したところ、交換してくれた。(20w相当のLEDから80w相当の蛍光灯型電球へ) 部屋からの眺望は望めず!となっていたが、その通りであった。 欧米人のバイカー達が語り合っているのであろうが、私には入り込む勇気が無かったのが心残り!

バイクが好きなら
空港の裏手の辺鄙な所にあります。MBはモーターバイクの略。入り口にハーレーなどのバイクが10台以上列び バイクレンタルも有りだとか。 一階のレストランは主にメキシカン料理のどちらかというと パブ。バイク好きなら 嬉しいホテルです。朝 4時というのに 空港まで無料送迎してくれました。
