A whole day of travelling will not be complete without
an accommodation in a decent hotel where you can rest and get a shut eye! Mandaue
City has lots of hotels to offer, from the lavish to the 'bang for the buck'
inns!
In Part Five
of my Mandaue City blog series, we
will talk about one of these hotels. So sit back and relax, it’s an Andy Hotel
review!
Let's start!
Andy Hotel is located at 727
A. S. Fortuna Street, Mandaue City. It's about an hour away from Mactan
Airport (without traffic in consideration), about 10-15 minute ride to Matia's
and AA BBQ (two well-known barbecue and grill joints in town), a two minute
walk to a familiar fast food chain (if food 'hunting' is not on your menu) and
pharmaceutical store—and lastly, half-a-minute walk to the fruit and fishball
vendors (just across the street).
Andy Hotel is decent-looking, clean and Tripadvisor
recommended (the sticker at the main entrance says so). The staffs are all
friendly and helpful. They also have a small cafe/resto that serves coffee and
meals. Security is covered by a guard (obviously) and a surveillance camera at
the reception area. Live feed of the surveillance camera may be accessed via
channel 1; a pretty neat feature for me.

Rooms have a simple modern layout. All the electronics
and faucets, not to mention the water heater works properly. Thirsty during the
late or early hours of the day? No worries my dear reader, hot and cold water
dispensers are available at every floor. TV reception is not that clear, but
still a-ok. The only letdown for me is the 'Andy Hotel' LED sign at the
reception area. For me, it looks like a night club sign (or maybe I'm just
picky).

| Room 309, the Adorable Standard with Queen-size bed (I think). |
 |
| All the faucets and the water heater works fine! |
 |
| The cabinet can cover all of your stuff. There's also an extra pillow at the top! |
 |
| The view of Mandaue City in my room...and the familiar fast food chain. |
 |
| Hot and cold drinking water is available 24/7. |
 |
| You wake up with a newspaper at the door. I've kept this as my souvenir (besides the pictures of course)! |
So, would I stay again at Andy Hotel? For business
trip, yes definitely—the company will pay for the accommodation anyways
(laughs). For personal reasons however, no. Their room rates are not appealing
for budget tourists. For people on the other side of the coin (travellers who
have money to burn), Andy Hotel is not a bad option.
 |
| Room rates (oh no). |
Their asking price may not
be catchy for most travellers, but it would not stop me from recommending Andy Hotel as one of the best hotels to
stay at Mandaue City!
