St Mark Hotel ★★

Well I reviewed this hotel a little under a week ago from my previous brief stay and once again, I must say the highlight were the ladies on reception and the friendly staff. The location is handy to everything.

As per my most previous stay I mentioned that WIFI passwords didn't work. I did this basically to make them aware of it and rectify it for future guests. But I was told again to try another router which made it incredibly slow - up to 5 minutes to load a web page. Once again, a simple press of a button didn't work with turning on the TV - the result was only four blurry channels. And the fridge in my room was really warm. The temperature dial looked to be broken and just freely spun around. You can see they are cutting costs with paper cups for coffee. In all, it's a basic hotel and in my opinion only one to use for a night or two and probably overpriced for what you get. To be honest, I'll probably look at other options next time I return to Cebu City.

Really friendly front desk staff and generally in a good location. A good hotel for brief stays or while in transit in Cebu. The rooms aren't huge, but it's not as if it's a resort or a hotel with a pool and one in which to relax or holiday in.

Well the TV didn't work (all the channels were fuzzy) and with a really late check-in and a one night stay it didn't really matter. Then again, most hotels now have two remotes and there's always an issue. It's not like to old days of pressing a button and a picture appears. The wifi didn't connect, but all it took was a call to the desk and the young lady told me to try a router for another floor, which then worked. Albeit, the wifi was a bit slow.

Clean rooms, friendly staff.

Wifi was intermittent was a nuisance.

Great breakfast, service and choice of food outstanding. Anything apparently lacking was quickly addressed with a smile.

More than adequate for my needs.

Staff, location, room size

There was a students' seminar the weekend I was in town and the students were noisy and boisterous. Some were knocking on the door and running away. Thankfully, the staff changed my room when I reported this

The staff/service and location

The quality of the surroundes .

Comfortable room with effective A/C. Set Menu for breakfast has improved since my last review as I explicitly told staff what I wanted. Quiet room with all room doors closed. Large safety deposit box in bedroom.

House-keeping staff and reception are friendly but not very efficient as when requested to clean my room, it took two and a half hours to commence this simple request. Mosquito sliding door broken, minor leak from underneath wash basin and cool showers on some days but I did not bother reporting these defects as I didn’t want to waste my efforts as I knew these would not be rectified promotly. Noisy traffic and road repairs operating when seated in the balcony.
