You get what you pay for in a good way.
It was great. The place is good and the staff are very very friendly and accommodating. The only downside is that the rooms are infested with little cockroaches/bugs that needs to be given attention to. It would be great if they could do a total pest control clean up in the whole building and set roach traps or something. The bugs were little but it was very bothersome, I'd end up killing at least 3-4 tiny roaches before i go to bed.

We LOVED the focus on the environment and the eclectic decorations. Breakfast was good and so was the coffee. Only one person made us give a less than "excellent" rating. After seeing we were having 2 beers each in our room she tried to lecture me on "responsible drinking" and when I said I wasn't interested in a lecture she then tried to school me on proper garbage disposal. When I informed her that the night before we separated our paper and glass and plastic and compost garbage she finally had nothing to say. Such a shame she ruined an otherwise perfect stay. Her attitude was very hostile, staring me down angrily as I spoke. I have stayed here before but will perhaps miss this good responsible hotel in the future because of the insulting patronizing
behaviour of this one person.

Basic but good value
I needed a place to sleep for a short night before catching a flight. Elicon House is very basic, like a dormitory, but it was clean and a cheap place to sleep for a short night. I would stay here again given a similar situation.

Wont book there again
Did not expect that the hotel would be very very strict. Guess are not even allowed but just at the lounge area but the entrace door is kind of weired cause the conceirge have to press a button for you to enter. Not my kind of safety.

Its location is good right at the center of the city. A plus, the house is clean, but the staff is not that friendly, no affection , its a home relationship, nevermind attitude , for as long as you pay.
We transferred to their sister company in Gorordo Avenue and they only notified us on our Checknin day.
Disappointed considering that main reason why I chose Elicon is because it is accessible to our destination.

Decent place in the best location
I needed to be in the downtown area. Elicon was at the best location. It was also perfect since I was travelling on a budget. You get decent accommodation.

A hostel with an eco concience
Like so many places in the Philippines, could be improved so much with a lick of paint interesting place with great philosophy. All round good value if you just need to crash for a night. Good location for bus terminals and town centre.
Basic good hotel with decent priced rooms. Good food at the restaurant. I lost my phone while in Cebu and the staff was super friendly about it and helping a lot.
