Unfortunately, my driver’s license went missing in my room during my stay. I would strongly discourage people from staying at this hotel due to property theft.
All-round excellent hotel with friendly, welcoming staff. I was very comfortable there. The breakfast was varied and delicious. The outdoor pool is clean and inviting.

Modern backpackers style hotel.
Nice place to stay. Very friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. The gym and pool are small but just enough for a workout. However, our room was never cleaned during our three night stay.

Really liked this hotel in the heart of Cebu city. Great location near good restaurants, Robinsons supermarket and the entertainment district. Bu really, Mango square doesn't live up to the hype. Staff is great, very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is very good despite the complainers. Standard rooms quite small, good for solo traveller like me. Overall, very good hotel.

The vibe of this hotel is very new and modern. Usually the pictures on the website doesn’t match when you go in person but it exactly like the pictures! The hotel staff were very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I would like to shout out the hotel receptionist and concierge, Krischelle and Shann. They stood out to me the most with their friendliness and their willingness to assist you. Would definitely come back here again! 10/10!

Staff was friendly and helpful. Property was clean. Area was noisy at night. Only issue I had was that I was able to hear conversations from the street and I was on the 8th floor. Windows seemed paper thin and couldn't get sleep. I recommend ear plugs.

Noise from outside
This hotel is a new one, good condition, and nice service including good breakfast. Staff are kind. The swimming pool was under construction during my stay. There are huge noise (automobile sounds) from outside so that I cannot sleep during night. You need ear plugs. Studio room is very small.
