The verdict

Read it your way

Radisson Blu Hotel, Cebu is a modern high-rise hotel situated directly beside SM City Cebu. Guests frequently highlight the attentive staff, restful memory foam beds, and generous buffet spreads at Feria.

  • I also like Radisson Blu Cebu because of its location. It is right next to a large shopping mall and is a stone's throw from the Port of Cebu, which is very convenient every time I have to take the ferry to Ormoc City, my mother's hometown. 14
  • Location was very good cab rides to nearby malls wasn't very costly. 21

  • Our fave feature of the room's the twin memory foam beds (with down-filled duvets) - which fell prey to Luna's stomping and jumping. It got the right firmness for me. So were the pillows. Altogether, the whole shebang was more than perfect. 1
  • Spacious clean room and very costaffmfortable bed. 21

  • It is showcased in the friendly and courteous demeanor of all its employees. Everyone I came in contact with had that sincere, warm smile that banners not just hospitality but also an innate willingness to serve or help. 14
  • The room was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed, but it's the genuine hospitality and empathy of the staff that truly sets this hotel apart. 16

Value7 mentions
  • While the rooms in both categories are almost equal in size, we found the business rooms provide the best value for money. 18

  • Location was very good cab rides to nearby malls wasn't very costly. 21
  • Location is key when it comes to choosing a hotel. Radisson Blu Cebu is conveniently situated at the North Reclamation Area, next to the North Bus Terminal (where you can catch a bus or van to northern destinations like Bantayan and Malapascua) and MyBus Terminal (which serves the Mactan-Cebu International Airport). 12
  • I also like Radisson Blu Cebu because of its location. It is right next to a large shopping mall and is a stone's throw from the Port of Cebu, which is very convenient every time I have to take the ferry to Ormoc City, my mother's hometown. 14

  • The service is tops. Its location (Mactan Cebu International Airport is about 11 kilometers away, and SM City Cebu Mall is right beside it), a winner. 1
