Cebu Series: Tune Hotel

I have been seeing this hotel promo in Metrodeal for sometime but didn't book at any branch since I thought it was not that good.  Feeling ko kase motel lang sya, though there is nothing wrong with a motel.  It's just that I will not be comfortable staying in a motel during my trips.

But then, when we arrived in Cebu in the middle of the night, our original plan of staying at J's office didn't push through.  We also didn't have any advance booking so we have no choice but to scout for a place to stay.  We really initially thought of staying in a motel for cheaper accomodation since we will sleep for 3 hours only before going to Oslob.  Then I suggested to check Tune Hotel first because I read in the net that it is located at the heart of Business District and night life.

 

And I'm glad that we did. First reason is the location.  It is situated beside Ayala Mall so shopping is so convenient.  Beside it is a 7-11 store where you can buy food and toilettries (if you forget to bring)24/7.

 

Another great tip guys:  buy mango candies and other pasalubongs in Metro Gaisano supermarket.  They are cheaper compared to Taboan's.  They can also conveniently pack them in a box.

at night

We haggled for the price.  We got an overnight accomodation for 3 persons for Php1,500.00 instead of Php1,900.00.  It is still a bit pricey for our standard but I think it's already luxurious for that price.  Great tip:  Please book in advance and through www.agoda.com  to get cheaper price.  We were told by the receptionist that sometimes they offer Php300.00/night through this site.  We have tried the online booking for our next day accomodation and we were able to get a double room for Php1,400.00.

about to leave for pasyal

So now, I'll make this hotel as my first choice in every trip that I will make (if there is one).  They already have branches in Makati, Clark, Puerto Princesa and Malaysia.  For more info, please check www.tunehotels.com.
