Es kann nicht sein, dass man ein Stadthotel wählt, das einen Pool hat, dass dieser aber während des ganzen Aufenthaltes nicht zugänglich ist - wegen einem Event. Ein NO GO, nie mehr dieses Hotel.

Comfortable inside room, however the rest of hotel do not have AC so its hot walking in the hallways. A little loud since we heard Ambulance Sirens atleast 2-3x during our 1 night stay. Pool was in renovation which I won't take away points, since they gave me notice prior to booking. It served its purpose for 1 night stay however would recommend more renovation and upgrades to the hotel.

This is our 4th time coming back to stay in Mandarin Plaza Hotel when we are in Cebu City. Fantastic location, just accross the Ayala Malls. The customer service assistance is excellent. All the staff we encountered are very friendly, helpful and accomodating. The rooms are very clean, too! The housekeeping is really doing a great job in maintaining cleanliness amd orderliness in the room amd in the hallway. The room is spacious and we really like the space. My husband and I always enjoy our stay here in this hotel. Huge thumbs up!!

Hotel was in a good location, walkable to a shopping mall and restaurant's. Hotel food is very average. Staff are friendly and polite. My room was at 15th floor, i remembered requesting my room to be clean around 9am ( I literally noticed the house keeping only 2 rooms away from my room). Took the housekeeping forever to clean my room, I ended up calling the house keeping who skipped my room and asked her if she could wipe my table that has a dead cockroach.the house keeping was very polite, came to my room and only wiped my table with a used cleaning cloth, i never noticed her using any disinfectant or any cleaning solution or spray. Well, the housekeeping asked me if she could just comeback after she was done with her other staff and my response was, yes and push the do not disturbed botton. All in all this hotel safe and ok, food is average, walkable to a mall and a lot of restaurant around the hotel.

Very clean. Large, comfortable rooms. The biggest negative was staff wandering the halls with their walkie volumes turned up loud. There was always constant chatter. It wasn’t very peaceful due to walkie chatter echoing through the large hallways. Also twice I had “do not disturb” light on and housekeeping knocked.

I have been coming to the Mandarin for several years now, and have always enjoyed my stay. This time I needed to stay at a different hotel (Seda Hotel) for the first few nights as the Manderin was fully booked. This opened my eyes to the Mandarin's shortcomings. The Manderin is showing it's age. Although the rooms are nice, the halls for the rooms are quite bland. Also the breakfast at the Manderin can't even compare to the Seda Hotel. I like to have 3 bath towels with me in the room. The Manderin charged me 400php per night for the extra towel. Seems like they value money over customer care. With all this being said the Mandarin is a good second choice for future trips.

Mandarin Plaza is awesome!! A couple of things to mention. I went to dining area to get some ice ( no ice machines at this hotel ). They wanted to charge me. Also requested 2 extra towels for my room. They wanted to charge me. I declined. Finally...hotel has had more than enough time and money to get pool fixed

3 stars hotel. Don’t expect for very fancy. downside - limited city view, I'm staying at 19 floor room 1927 over looking pag ibig view but still a limited sighting at city view. Breakfast - for me, not my ideal breakfast food. I just eat sausage and egg. Just surprise, one of their breakfast menu is spaghetti. Costumer service - I got my expectations, over all - A very comfortable stay, affordable rate. Walking distance to shopping mall.

Room rates are very reasonable, especially for the size of the room. Overall it was a pleasant short stay, except for the really firm mattress. Cost of breakfast buffet was around $10.50, which to me was OK but my local friends thought it was expensive. The buffet spread was very typical for a business hotel.
