Flying Fish

Cebu City


Flying Fish has an eye-catching design that makes heavy use of upcycled and recycled materials, a mellow bar-cafe, a plunge pool and superb-value air-conditioned dorms. Private rooms are snug. It's a bit far from the centre but in range of the bars and restaurants of Banilad, an up-and-coming barangay 10 minutes by taxi from the Ayala Center.
