Seda Hotel Centrio

Seda Hotel Centrio

Cagayan de Oro City
(CDO and Bukidnon Series 1)

Stay

My family arrived at about 9 PM in Cagayan de Oro

after an afternoon flight from Naga City

and about two hour stop over in Manila.

 

A pre- arranged hotel van rental, which we would

be using throughout our stay in the city picked us up-

...from the airport off the brand new Seda Hotel

right at the heart of this  progressive city.

It was everybody’s first time in Cagayan de Oro

and we were pleased by the sight of the beautiful

Centrio, where Seda Hotel was located

This would be our home for the next five days.

The hotel had a very modern lobby

located at the fourth floor of the building.

The lobby offered two Apple Mac computers
with really fast Wi Fi connections to hotel guests.

The front desk staff was friendly,
 efficient and helpful.



Checking in was a breeze 

and we were in our room in a jiffy.

It was a Premier Room, the biggest

and apparently the best they have.

It has a huge king sized bed that would fit

the four of us (two adults and two kids),

 

…a flat screen TV with Media panel

with HDMI, USB and A/V connectivity,

…a study,

…a lounge chair, and we were a bit disappointed

that unlike what most hotels this standard-

a room this big did not have a comfy sofa.

 

But that’s a minor flaw though.

It a had a kitchenette equipped with a microwave

coffeemaker, a refrigerator and a mini bar.

It had a gorgeous bathroom,

…luxurious shower,

…and decent supply of toiletries.

Being a businessman hotel, it had three

telephones, the first one at the bedside-

…second on the study,

…and the third on the toilet.

It also offered extra amenites
in the huge closet.

The 7th floor room also offers a commanding
 view of the city and its environs.













All in all the room was spacious, comfortable

well designed and beautiful.

Stray

Seda Hotel Centrio is connected to an upscale

Ayala Mall called Centrio and there is no need

to brave the summer heat when you want to shop.

Centrio is hip and beautifully designed

with wide a large variety of shops.

…and and fabulous dining choices  centrally located

at the Al Fresco area of the mall.

Play

The Seda Centrio has
 a beautiful swimming pool.

A 5 feet deep adult pool,

 

...and a smaller round kiddie pool.

 

The kids had a good time swimming

the the Seda pool

which is located just beside
the well equipped gym.

Feast:

Breakfast Buffet

at Misto All Day Dining

Misto, is an all day dining restaurant

located at the hotel lobby

where they serve the breakfast buffet.

 

 

The restaurant  offers good selection

of local and international cuisine.

The good thing with Misto-

they change some of the fares

on the  menu every day.

Our room is supposed to have an access  

at the Club Lounge at the top floor

but unfortunately, it was still

under construction.

Room Service.

Seda Hotel’s room service

 is catered by Misto-

….and the have a wide selection of delicious

Vegebale Meat and  Seafood dishes.

They are surprisingly very affordable.

Recommendations;

I would definitely recommend this hotel to family

traveling with young children as it is beautiful,

tidy and very, very affordable.

It is connected to an upscale mall

so dining and shopping is a breeze.

The mall  also offers various leisure activities

 to the kids to keep them busy and entertained .

 

The food is good and
 the breakfast buffet is fine.

There are several minor flaws in the hotel though

but we really didn’t mind as the staff were friendly ,

helpful and even apologetic for any minor inconvenience.

As early as 5 AM the sunlight penetrates  
the transparent room shades on the windows 
so it's difficult to sleep late in the room.

The Premiere Room is spacious and well designed

but the space was not maximized.

They have a huge kitchenette but no area for dining.

 

In room dining is served on a tray,

and you will have to eat either on the bed

or on the study table.

No sofa to lounge or laze despite the extra space in room-

just a chair whose cushion falls off while you sit.

The kids had fun playing chair cushion boarding though.

They have a rather very slow
 free internet in room connection.

You have to pay about 200 pesos per hour
to get a faster connection.

 

Otherwise, Seda Centrio is a wonderful,
 comfortable, reasonably priced and

inexpensive  hotel with excellent service.

The hotel is owned  and operated by Ayala Group -

a company known to cater the well-heeled and  affluent.

 Fancy that- they know how to pamper

the ordinary and lowly guests like us as well.
