Rianne Hotel and Suites — Hotel in Cebu City

As a traveller, I'm used to getting what I pay for...and sometimes I don't. I tend not to make a big fuss over it but move on and tick off the hotel from my list of accommodations to go or recommend to my friends. Having visited another establishment owned by the same firm and having been pleased with my experience, I decided to come by this hotel to see if they have the same DNA and I'm happy to say they do. ||||Rianne Hotel has many of the hallmarks of more expensive establishments but their friendly prices mean you're getting all the benefits at a much lower cost. The hotel is new and shows a well thought out and classy interior, likely from a skilled interior designer. ||||Their rooms are not overly huge but then everything one expects to find is there. Internet connection for guests is exceedingly good and ensured business travellers can be more productive than using an undependable wifi connection at a coffee shop. Their beds are new, comfortable and clean. Their staff are well trained. They're fairly new so you're bound to face a few delays here or there but on the whole, they do a good job serving their patrons.||||I've been to other business hotels that focus on giving you a place to sleep and not bother with anything else, such as - food. This hotel serves very good food, no different from their sister hotel, Griffin. I was very impressed at their large servings and just as happy with their cost. Let's just say it's heavy on the stomach but light on the pocket. And the great thing about it is the ambiance of the restaurant and lobby is conducive to conducting meetings without having to go to another venue. ||However, should one feel the need to head elsewhere, it's good to know you're just a skip and a hop away from grabbing a ride, be it a taxi or a commuter jeepney. The location is most suitable for those conducting business in Cebu as they are located in the middle of every major hospital, business establishments and tourist places. There's no major mall nearby but the convenience of getting a ride pretty much mitigates that. ||||I spoke to a senior staff and I'm told their owners went into the hospitality business with one intent - offer great value for money to their patrons because this is the engine that will drive bookings. And indeed I think it worked with the coming and goings of the guests during my stay. ...

Not just that this hotel is awful. On top of that they lie on their reply in my booking com review that i havent't been there. They double charged me, so beside their lying review you can also see that they charged my card therefore i have been in this hotel||||"Really don’t get why this property have so high score.||You’re basically in 3x3m dungeon without windows and daylight.||There’s some “window” that can be open 3cm and it’s window in some ventilation shaft or whatever is that. Dark and wall 30cm further.||Room itself is not bad if you get few rooms that actually have windows that look on street and have some light/fresh air. But if you get dungeon room good luck.||Especially knowing how loud AC is. It’s like earthquake when it start. Entire wall is shaking.||They charge 60php per kg for laundry while you can exit building and turn left 150m and there’s laundry for half price.||Although hotel was quite empty didn’t allow not even 2h late checkout( 14h instead 12h)||Prior to arrival they charged my card with full amount, once arrived they charged again as first one charge was for some safety. It took quite long (7-8 days) to refund first charge after i involved Booking com||In same streets there’s few other hotels. Rather stay there. They...

A great accommodation especially if you’re in a budget. I’m giving a rundown on what I like about this property and what also can be improved.

The staffs plus the guard are ABSOLUTELY friendly and accommodating. They make sure to attend to your needs and with a smile, as well.

With the price, you already get such a spacious room with free breakfast so value for money is good.

Wi-Fi connection is real fast.

Hotel’s location is pretty much near everything.

The window in our room is faced by a wall. There is no way that natural light can seep into our room so we were stuck with gloomy, yellow-tint lights for the rest of our stay.

Taxis had a hard time figuring out the location of the place.

No hangers on the closet and no rack to put your towels in by the bathroom.

Overall, it’s still a good place to stay. If ever we have to book a place in the city, I’ll be sure to book in this...
