Cebu City is a stopover for many travelers before they continue on to Moalboal, Oslob or Bohol. The city has a wide choice of hotels, condominiums and serviced apartments. One of them is the brand-new 88th Avenue. What to expect during a stay there is what we cover in this report.

Location of 88th Avenue Serviced Apartments
The 88th Avenue complex sits near Cebu IT Park and is therefore in a great location. The area is safe and it’s only about a 5–10 minute walk to IT Park. There you’ll also find Sugbo Mercado, several malls and of course a large choice of restaurants.
Another big plus is that 88th Avenue itself has a small center with restaurants, bars and nightclubs. So you barely ever need to leave the complex, because everything you need is right outside your door.
Rooms & Prices at 88th Avenue
At 88th Avenue* there is a wide range of room categories and prices. These room options are available:
- Various studios
- 1 Bedroom suites
- 2 Bedroom suites
- 3 Bedroom penthouse
We stayed in one of the studios for around €45 a night and were completely happy with the size for a stay of just a few days. All rooms also have a balcony, though in the studios it’s very small and offers no weather protection.
In general, prices range from €45–800 per night, with the 3-bedroom penthouse suites at the top end. For most travelers the Deluxe Studio should always be more than enough.
Food & Drinks at 88th Avenue
Because 88th Avenue is a condominium with serviced apartments, there is no restaurant. You have to organize food and drinks yourself and cook in the well-equipped kitchen, or use the many restaurants on the ground floor.
Alternatively, in Cebu City you can of course always use the Grab delivery service, which gives you access to hundreds of restaurants across the city.
Amenities at 88th Avenue Hotel Cebu
88th Avenue basically offers everything travelers need for a stay at a solid standard. The bathrooms are spacious and modern, the studio rooms are more than big enough and come with a kitchen, fridge and smart TV.
On the ground floor there is an arcade with restaurants and shops; free parking for cars and motorbikes is available to hotel guests after registering at reception.
The serviced apartments also give you access to an extremely well-equipped, brand-new gym and a sauna. On the roof of the building you’ll find the sun deck and a jacuzzi. That’s also where the smoking area is.
The pool is now open. It’s an indoor pool, though, so it isn’t suitable for sunbathing.
Our Experience at 88th Avenue Cebu City
We found the stay at 88th Avenue extremely pleasant. The fact that the building and rooms are brand new and furnished in a modern style makes a big difference. The beds are large and extremely comfortable, the internet works reasonably well, and otherwise you have pretty much everything you need.
We also found the proximity to IT Park an advantage, because there you’ll find lots of restaurants, pubs and the night market. Overall we can recommend a stay at 88th Avenue Hotel without reservation, especially if you’re only spending 2–4 days in the city.
