Verbena Pension House  

In a quiet corner of Cebu City, this budget guesthouse (Verbena Pension House, soon to be Verbena Hotel) puts you close to Casa Gorordo Museum, the Heritage of Cebu Monument and the Taoist Temple. A shopping mall and the Cebu International Convention Centre are within easy reach. The nearest beach is about 10 km away and Mactan–Cebu International Airport is roughly a 25-minute drive.

No-fuss, vintage-chic vibes inside a property built in 1988 and refurnished in 2013. Forty-five spacious rooms come with en suite bathrooms, minibar, air conditioning and TV. Décor leans quirky and nostalgic, and the reception is staffed 24 hours to keep things smooth.

Buffet breakfast each morning, an on-site coffee shop and restaurant, plus massage services for easy downtime. Practical comforts include a 24-hour front desk and a location that’s ideal for exploring local sights.

The property grew from a popular neighborhood eatery, and its food roots show. Enjoy a hearty buffet breakfast and a restaurant menu influenced by Filipino comfort classics — historically known for fish head tinola and caldereta.
