This hotel location was convenient for touring around the island and the room was spacious and comfortable with everything you need for your stay.The locals were friendly and helpful. The hotel restaurant had excellent choice of food and drinks at a reasonable price. The free breakfast was also great. Above all the hotel staff and did a fantastic job responding to your requests, especially the restaurant staff. I would definitely return here to stay during my next trip. A gym at this hotel would have been great !

The property is conveniently located and within walking distance of the main block that offers several dining options. However, complimentary amenities such as bottled water or set of coffee are not provided. Bed furnishings and furnitures are outdated.

Stay away from the breakfast
The hotel is dated and truly shows it’s age. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We purchased breakfast for the three we booked at the hotel. The first day the breakfast was not great. We skipped the second day breakfast because it looked like the same as the first. The third day we tried once again and ended up just having the coffee. If I return to this hotel it will be due to the great staff.

Items to improve in the room it would be better if the TV will be upgraded to smart TV. For breakfast, please give options for foreigner guests that doesn’t eat filipino breakfast like cereals, pancakes, and bacon. I like how the place are always kept clean and friendly staffs that gave good service during our stay

The property was generally clean and staff/customer service is excellent always available to help with any issues. One or two things could be a little better, like the breakfast choice is a little limited, so a bit more variety would be great. We had a couple of issues in the room with small droppings from small reptiles on the bedding, which was a bit off putting bur the start always changed and cleaned immediately. The food available in the cafe essencia is good with plenty of choices for everyone very reasonably priced. Would stay again as in an excellent location for getting around Dumaguete and surrounding areas.
