OYO 672 Capitol Tourist Inn — Hotel in Cebu City

Pros:||- Dirt Cheap, P370 for a 10 hour stay. ||- 10 minute walk to Larsian, the famous local barbecue eatery||||Cons:||- Very Old and probably unsanitary (Just see the pictures I posted)||||We only needed a play to stay for 4 hours since we were heading south to catch a 4AM bus to see the whales. There are plenty of choices a walking distance away but it was 11PM and I didn't want to walk in to other hotels just to ask around for prices. My daughter called it "haunted" and I kept on giving her assurance that it's only for a few hours.||||They give you towels and a tissue roll after paying. We didn't take a bath nor use the towels. ||||During check in, their front desk lady was on her cellphone the whole time. I can't say she was unfriendly but I don't think that was good service either.||||To be fair, you can't expect the Hilton at the price they charge and they do let you check the room before...

Beers are available 24 hours a day and 1 liter San Miguel Grandes are only 10 pesos more than the 7/11. I've been staying here regularly for 15 years, sometimes for weeks on end. Their monthly rate is about 80% of what the 30 day daily room rate would be. The staff are a right hoot. I think I have tried them all, and CAPITOL TOURIST INN is the very best, of all of Cebu city's...

Reception is neither systematic nor professional about handling the check-in. The lobby is filthy. The lift is old and poorly maintained. The room bears no resemblance to the photos in their adverts. The lights are busted or non-existent; the only working light was in the bathroom. The floor tiles are cracked. The appliances are old and the sockets are frankly frightening. Contrary to the advert, they do not provide toiletries, not even tissue paper. I did not dare use the towel. even the knob is non-functional.||||You can shoot a horror film in this hotel and it would be an improvement on the present state.||||It attracts clientele who are loud--in their rooms, in the hallways, and at the lobby singing karaoke.
