Where to Stay in Cebu: Bayfront Hotel Cebu

Traveling is synonymous with meeting different people from different walks of life. So for someone who constantly has to interact with different people everywhere on a regular basis, nothing excites me more than spending time alone with myself every now and then. Which is why it was a great experience for me when I had a ‘me’ time a few days ago at Bayfront Hotel Cebu.

I get asked a lot where’s the best hotel to stay in the city. My answers vary depending on their preferences as well as their itinerary. I mean, I can’t just suggest an affordable accommodation in Busay, if they want to see the whale sharks in Oslob, right? 

The best thing about Bayfront Hotel Cebu is that it is strategically located right in front of the MyBus station. If you’re coming from the airport, Bayfront Hotel Cebu is the most convenient place to stay in because you don’t have to transfer cars. From the airport, just ride a MyBus bus heading to SM City, and you just have to cross the street to reach Bayfront. It is near to the malls and only a ride or two to some tourist spots within Cebu City.

I had a goal in mind when I stayed at Bayfront Hotel Cebu for a night. As I have said, I wanted to spend some time alone. The past few weeks have been a roller-coaster ride. I went to Gensan, Saranggani, and South Cotabato, and when I returned, I was faced with so much work. The tiny little bean simply cannot keep up.

I spent the whole time at the hotel finishing my backlogs. Although I didn’t get to finish writing all of them, I’m glad I have accomplished something. It was a peaceful stay.

My home for one night!

Before I spent the whole time writing in my hotel room, I had the chance to tour around Bayfront Hotel Cebu and check out some of their rooms and state-of-the-art facilities. Here are some of the photos I’ve taken during my stay.

Cafe Breeze is an all-day dining restaurant that serves Filipino and International dishes which is located in the Lobby. They are open from 6.00 am to 10:00 pm.

Whenever I travel, these are the four things that I ask myself before booking for accommodation:

  1. Is the hotel/hostel/homestay near the destinations I am visiting?
  2. Is it accessible via public transportation?
  3. Is it safe, affordable, and comfortable?
  4. Is it near convenience stores?

If I were someone visiting Cebu City, I would definitely consider Bayfront Hotel Cebu. The hotel is just near the malls. Also, one of the best things that I love about this hotel is that there is a 7Eleven store right beside their lobby. It’s pretty convenient and you don’t need to go far to purchase something in the middle of the night.

The view from the hotel window is also amazing. Tip: If you want to see the sunset, choose a room that faces the city view. And if you want to witness the sunrise, choose a room that faces the port view. I was lucky to be in a hotel room that faced both. Unfortunately, I woke up really late so I wasn’t able to witness the amazing sunrise of Cebu.
