GT Seaside Inn — Hotel in Oslob

Mixed feelings about this place because it could’ve been much better. ||We paid extra for a deluxe double room. Better than the pokey standard rooms but still very overpriced for what it was. The bed was a small double. Just about big enough for two adults as long as they don’t move around too much.||It’s the only place I’ve stayed in The Philippines that doesn’t provide drinking water.||My biggest bugbear, though, was being told when we arrived at 12:30pm that the room was ready but we’d have to pay 300 pesos to check in early. Come on! It’s a basic guest house not a resort hotel! We’d just travelled from Moalboal on two buses and we had no idea how long it would take. We were lucky with timings but it wasn’t a nice way to be greeted. We paid it because we wanted to unpack and get changed etc, but we he bathroom, wash basin area and floor were all really wet. It was a pain. We were effectively charged extra to put our stuff in a wet room.||Because it seemed like they were just after more money, we opted not to have any meals or drinks during our stay, even when it was raining. So overall it cost them maybe 2000 pesos in lost revenue.||But location is convenient. Nice sea views from the terrace. Wi-Fi not too bad. Plenty of international channels on the bedroom TV. The staff were friendly too - they arranged a motorbike...

My wife and I stayed here a couple of nights. We got into Oslob around 8.30 am by the ferry from Panglao. The hotel made arrangements for an early check in and even upgraded our room for free to the ones on the first floor. Which was a perfect welcome to the South of Cebu.|Breakfast wasn't included but the meals at the hotel are reasonably priced with a range of Silog for 100 pesos. All the staff worked in shifts and each time they were very courteous and helpful to what we needed. They helped arrange a scooter for us as well in advance.|The room was clean and quite spacious. Maybe the only down side is that there wasn't any hot water. But after a day at the beach a cold shower did just fine. TV and air con in the room which was great. |The location of the hotel is also perfect about 7 minute walk to oslob ruins and abiut a 15 minute drive down to the whale sharks/sumilon Island and Tumalog Falls.|The balcony overlooking the sea is common for the guests to use and we managed to have breakfast on all three days with a beautiful view.|WiFi is available but did not reach our room. Had to be on the stairs to get connected.|Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend staying here while in oslob. Reasonable priced...
