Here is a list of the mid-range hotel function rooms that are perfect for any event– that you can afford!

Bayfront Hotel

Bayfront is a fairly new name in the hotel industry but it is making its way to being one of the most reliable hotels in Cebu. People love it here because of the ambiance, food, services and most especially, the rates.

Imagine your workshop being held in one of the most respected hotels in Cebu?

Or a company conference in this big room?

Why not invite an entire barangay to your birthday party?

Since the hotel is new, everything is very modern, clean and refreshing to the eyes. You sure won’t get embarrassed for hosting a party here!

For as low as 490 per head, you get an entire buffet set up (lunch or dinner buffet) inclusive of salad or soup, 3 main courses, and pasta or veggies plus two varied desserts. The use for the function room is 4 hours only but free use of the PA system. It’s only 14,700 pesos for a minimum of 30 persons.

Other menu sets are available to meet your needs. Rates vary per package.

How to get there

Bayfront is luckily just a walking distance from SM City Cebu, one of the biggest malls in Cebu. If you are in the mall, exit in the Open Parking side and walk towards the hotel.

Maxwell Hotel

If you are looking for a plain function room without food packages, you may like it here in Maxwell Hotel. They offer rooms that include a PA System, projector and screen, tables and chairs, a podium, Wi-Fi connection, and writing materials for note-taking.

Function rooms have many uses. If you have a small seminar, workshop or even a worship service, renting a small room in Maxwell Hotel will save the day.

Why Maxwell is a good option is because of its location. Escario is a very convenient location because the traffic situation is moderate, and you won’t have a hard time hailing a ride to and fro.

Rates vary depending on the type of room and setup that you will be getting. Hourly rates range from 1,000 to 1,500 pesos, if you want to stay up to 4 hours, the rate goes up from 3,600 to 5,400 and 8 hours from 7,000 to 10,500 pesos.

How to get there

The hotel is located in N. Escario St., Cebu City– walking distance from one of Cebu’s biggest malls, Ayala Center. However, getting a ride is still the best option. To get there from Ayala, hail a 14D jeepney from the terminal. Get off at the Escario Central Mall and walk towards the hotel across the mall.
