Location & How to Get There

Noble Hotel scores with an excellent location in Cebu City. Right next to 88th Avenue, it sits close to IT Park as well as the Business Park and Ayala Center Mall. That makes it an ideal base for tourists exploring Cebu City.

Facilities

The hotel offers some appealing amenities such as a gym and a swimming pool, though the pool was closed during our visit. A highlight is the rooftop bar with a nice view over the city. The swimming pool is very large and also has some loungers for sunbathing. The sun is over the pool area of the Grand Residences that house Noble Hotel all day long.

Rooms

The rooms at Noble Hotel are studio apartments in a residential building / condominium. For stays of 1 to 3 days they offer enough space. Amenities include a very comfortable king-size bed, a fridge and a smart TV. There are a few weak points, though:

• Only two bath towels are provided, with no extra hand towels or shower mats. That means the bathroom often ends up wet after a shower, and sometimes the whole room does too.
• The balcony door is riveted shut, so the windows cannot be opened and the balcony cannot be used – a big downside, especially if you want fresh air or the view – and smokers have a hard time too! There is only one smoking area in the garden of the complex.
• The elevator situation is problematic: four elevators for 38 floors mean wait times of up to five minutes or more at peak times.

On the plus side, rooms come with kettles, shower gel, toothbrushes and other practical items.

Conclusion Noble Cebu Hotel

Noble Hotel Cebu City offers modern, clean rooms in an excellent location for a comparatively low price. The stay is ideal for non-smokers and short-term visitors, though smokers may not be happy with being limited to the garden for smoking.

A big plus is how clean and new the furnishings feel. The sealed balcony and the limited elevators do take some of the shine off the experience, though. Despite these weaknesses, the hotel remains a recommendable option for travelers who value a central location and good value for money.
