Nice hotel

Great hotel for the price. Great room service. Food was not bad. I only ordered breakfast menu during our stay. Breakfast menu was available whole day. Staff were pleasant.They have a transportation to pick you up and take you to the airport (if need be) for a minimal charge. They also assist or give referral to a car rental which was very helpful. The only problem I encountered was the noise since it is located in the heart of the city and next to a busy street. However, this location can be positive due to its accessibility. I will stay there again when I go back for a vacation. By the way, I booked there for 11 days.

Meh...

Not very service friendly staff. We were offered a fridge at P350 per night and it barely kept our water above room temperature. When we mentioned that to the reception they just laughed and looked at the wall. The water heater in the shower didn't work. The water pressure was next to nothing and vanished totally several times. The WiFi network didn't work most of the time. The restaurant spent 45 minutes making a simple and highly overpriced meal. The staff in the reception was pretty noisy, singing out loudly in the evening. All in all.. we won't be going back there again, that's for sure.

The hotel is OK. Could be better.

This hotel is located in a good spot. The quality of the hotel is ok for the cost. You get a warm shower and a cooled room. One issue we faced was the lack of service to the room while hanging "please service room" on the door. We had to call in multiple times to the desk to get the room serviced. The other problem is the booking says the room accommodates up to 7 guests. The room only supplied enough beds for 4 people. There is no print or information stating you need to purchase another 2 or 3 beds that you need for the room.

Good location. Great staff.

Good experience for the price. Walking distance to everything in downtown Dumaguete. However, the water in the shower never got hot which is common with the systems they use here, and the hotel has a strict no liquor in room policy. Just FYI.

Cheap business hotel

Because price is very affordable, it's value might be also cheap. Very small room and small shower room. The good point is that this hotel is located in the center of Dumaguete city and there are some 24hours shops nearby there. If you're looking for cheap hotel just for sleeping, it maybe a good choice for you.

老城区的中心

在老城区～硬件很一般～位置不错～楼下就是银行，步行10分钟是大一点的超市，吃饭离几个快餐店都不远！算是对得起这个价格！空调噪音非常大我们第一次在3层住的时候……我们第二次入住的401room完全不同,设施都比3层房间新，空调的噪音也小许多，免费的接机很方便，保全很热情。如果喜欢安静住在罗宾逊广场后面会好一些！

Budget Experience

This is a hotel with few exceptional facilities. Hotel is located close to the beachfront in Dumaguete. Rooms are simple and clean if a little dated. Hotel offers a decent breakfast for 98php. Beds are comfortable for a short stay. I found the parking to be extremely tight and difficult to manouvre. This is by no means a luxury establishment, but is passable by Dumaguete standards.
