Moonstar Cebu Capsule Hotel
This capsule hotel provides a basic, modern sleeping pod experience, suitable for budget-conscious travellers who prioritise a comfortable bed over spacious shared facilities or a central location.
Moonstar Cebu Capsule Hotel offers a compact sleeping experience in Cebu, featuring modern, enclosed capsules that guests find comfortable and well-ventilated. While the capsules themselves are generally quiet, some street noise can be noticeable, for which earplugs are recommended. The shared bathroom facilities, however, are frequently cited as being very small and occasionally suffer from cleanliness issues, with reports of clogged toilets and even pests. The hotel's location is also noted as being a little out of the way for exploring the city's main sights. Despite these points, the property is appreciated for its modern aesthetic and friendly staff.

“I like how clean the bathroom was, the automatic lights, the clean hallway, the lock system they are using just like in IT park”
