I get asked a lot by my friends and readers who are not from Cebu for a list of budget accommodations in Cebu City area. And for several years, I would always refer them to just search on Google because I had no idea where these budget hotels are. Earlier this year, I had three friends from Manila who came here to join the Sinulog festival and asked for my help in looking for a budget hotel. I was able to find an affordable hotel for them, but they could have saved even more money had I known there were actually a lot of budget accommodations in Cebu City area that are less than 500 Pesos only.
So, a few weeks ago, I decided to do some research and looked through some of the travel apps I have on my phone. I realized there are actually quite a lot of budget accommodations in Cebu City. Most importantly, they are all located in the heart of the city. I found about almost 30 hotels/pension houses/hostels/homestays, but I’ve listed only a few below.
Here are 10 budget accommodations in Cebu City that costs below 500 pesos only.
