Nice and clean place. We were upgraded to a bigger room despite of last minute changes on our booking.
Great staff. Very accommodating and helpful.
Batanes is such a wonderful place and people in general are very friendly,
The 3rd floor room #14 is big.
They have this honesty nook per floor where you can get coffee/milo/tea for 20pesos. Just put your payment in the designated tupperware.
Free potable water in a dispenser (cold/normal/hot) also available
The hot shower is working.
My view is the Naidi Lighthouse which is great.
Staffs are friendly and they are nice.
They serve free breakfast and free airport transfer.
They don't have WIFI like most of the lodges in town. I used my SMART mobile data which is ok.
There are sari-sari stores nearby and a grocery store across street.
Town Plaza is like 2mins. walk and Naidi Lighthouse is around 10-15mins. walk.
Restaurants nearby are :
Harbour Cafe/Beehan Restaurant/Octagon Bed and Breakfast/Cafe Napoli/BikSaFraffe cafe
PRO's:
Good location - walking distance to many restos/shops/town center
Spacious room - comfortable to move around
Complete bathroom amenities - hot/cold shower, bidet, shampoo, shower gel, toilet paper
Super friendly staff - always smiling and greeting guests (everyone in Batanes is so nice and courteous!)
Good breakfast - nothing special but still satisfying :)
Nice ambience - the lodge was bright, airy, homey
Free roundtrip airport transfers (most, if not all, Batanes hotels offer this)
CON'S:
Walls a bit thin - you can easily hear sounds coming from nearby rooms
Leaky faucet in our bathroom with a high-pitched sound, very annoying
Bathroom rug was never replaced for the entire 4 nights we were there, even though it was already soaked
Lacked tables in the room - most of our stuff were just on the floor
Location is a big plus, very near the airport (with free airport transfers). Room is clean and well-maintained. Staff is very courteous, accommodating and respectful. Special mention too to Jerryson who was my trike tour guide to northern Batan. Will definitely recommend to friends visiting Batanes.
The service was great. The crew were all nice and accommodating. Hotel's location was perfect. It was at the center of the town and super near to the airport, which made our stay even more convenient. The rooms though need some big improvements. From where we stayed at for 4 nights - it looked a little old and dark - maybe because some lights in the room were not working. Also, the walls were, I think, just made of thin woods, so sometimes you could clearly hear your neighbors' noises, especially when they are being loud. It was annoying because I thought I could get some rest after a day of touring. Overall - I am still thankful for the experience.
