We had a family reunion at Splendido Estates located just across this hotel. Instead of going home late at night, we decided to get rooms here. It was a very short stay but the hotel served its purpose. Price is fair. The hotel is very clean. Continental breakfast was part of the rate. The surroundings was quiet. It was a good rest for us. Most importantly, the room was very clean. It does resemble an old motel but a very clean, respectable one. I would stay again to rest if needed rather than book in more expensive hotels.

Rooms are spacious and especially their bathroom, their room rate is affordable and its good to stay together with family/friends. I like also the ambiance inside the restaurant very country and classy. The pizza tastes so good and the beer is very cold. I would love to come back here to stay again for some nights.

Stayed in this hotel last summer. Aircon was so noisy that it kept me and the rest of the family members awake all throughout the whole time. It came to a point that I decided to just shut off the aircon. When we mentioned about it at the Front Office and pointed out why the room was still released to a paying guest, I was told that I should have complained earlier. Considering that we checked in at around midnight and planned to leave by around 8:30 AM, I wonder if they expected us to go down at 3:30 AM to request for a room transfer. Apparently, they are aware that aircon was not working well and yet they still booked us in that room. Our stay in the hotel was entirely useless; we should have went back to Manila, which is an hour trip, and slept in our own bedroom which has a quiet aircon and a more comfortable bed.

We were guided to the farm owned by this hotel owner PIPO . PIPO lived in Japan and his wife is a Japanese woman , so he can speak Japanese . In the farm , not only there is a forest and rivers and pools , there is the great horse riding course . From the hotel to the farm is about 20 minutes by car . When sound the horn , that the maid opened the gate , it feels as if became a millionaire movie hero . I rided Kentucky species of Charlie . He was a little shy horse , and went gradually become good friends . It was a very nice horse riding experience .

It's not good but it ain't super bad either. It's kinda like a back-packers safe haven. Location: Far out heading to Batangas already. So if you have a wedding to attend to near Chapel by the Hill or an event in Sonia's Garden or literally around that area (google map) then this would be a budget hotel to stay in. It gets all foggy at some nights. Room: A basic wooden bed with two flat pillows. Actually I wasn't sure if there were bed mites or if the bed sheets have been cleaned at all. So I did my best to spray alcohol all over the bed. The CR is kinda dirty and basic. No hangers. On the plus side, we were able to check in early and was in our room in less than 5 minutes. Amenities: Small basic TV. You get what you pay for. Unfortunately no freebies so everything is at cost (bottled water included) but they have their own supplies where in you can buy toothpaste and toothbrush. Closing notes: I understand that its classifying itself as a budget hotel but even Sogo and Victoria Court (Honky Tonk Motels) have better (cleaner) facilities. It's not an excuse. You can always clean the place up and make it more presentable at little or no cost if you have the heart for it. The place feels like it was abandoned by the owners and that there is no more amore (love) for the place. Just a venue to get extra cash. As long as it's not generating losses, it's ok. Such a fly-by-night business... so sad. The restaurant is great though!

I found Alfonso Hotel through Agoda yesterday afternoon when I opted to spent the night at Tagaytay rather than driving back to Manila. I choose it for two reasons: 1. At 2,400 Peso(tax included) was one of the cheaper option as Tagaytay hotel rate are high; 2. They have a nice little Italian Restaurant. Luckily I made a GOOD CHOICE! Room basic but with a very comfortable bed and pillow, water heater work, quiet and peaceful for a good night sleep. Aircon there but don't need it when last night temperature around10 degree. The room and bathroom were big and clean. The small Italian Restaurant was good! Breakfast need a lot of improvement, even you upgrade still limited option and breakfast coffee was bad. So, not bad for a two star hotel, basic but good for a overnight stay or for people that spend most of their time out of the hotel and with own transport.

It was a last minute booking for me and I really do not know the area but the staff was very helpful even if we called and asked for directions at past 12 midnight already. We used the Annex Room which is very plain but we didn't mind it not until knowing that the toilet was broken/clogged, annoys me to flush it out manually that's why. It was also air-conditioned but the blanket was very thin. Will I book this again? maybe for last minute but not on peak seasons! it took us more than an hour just to reach the sky ranch area.

I've been to this hotel a couple of times a few years back and was generally satisfied. Not a great experience but their standard room was just fine. I decided to book again because of the mid year promo. 50% off on the suite. As usual, the staff were attentive and very respectful in dealing with us. The room was really big and had big windows that allowed me to see the clouds and stars - as with the cheaper rooms. There was a bath tub on top of the toilet and bath. The T&B area was so spacious. The resto, Il Gallo Nero, serves very nice Italian food though a bit pricey. What I like most is that the hotel is in a more quiet side of Alfonso rather than in the more crowded parts of Tagaytay. For the down side - the room especially the T&B area was so dirty when we arrived. The toilet bowl and seat seemed to have traces of urine. The bath tub was new but dusty and had all sorts of grime. The furniture was rundown and could use some vacuum cleaning. We had to ask someone to clean up the room. For a suite room, the amenities were just too basic - soap, shampoo, and towels. I don't know if it's because we got the room on promo rates. There weren't even cups or glasses aside from the ones in the bathroom. We had to call for room service every time we wanted to use some. No hangers for the clothes. My friend and I were both scratching our legs and arms the whole night. We went here to take a break and have a good rest but ended up with poor sleep. I don't know if its bedbugs or mites. My suspicion is that the blankets were not washed well if they were washed at all. It's a pity as the hotel had beautiful interiors during its early years.

Response from alfonsohotel, General Manager at Alfonso Hotel
Responded 13 Aug 2013
Dear Sacredtrails, Thank you very much for staying with us and taking your time to leave a review about our hotel. Alfonso Hotel has three simple principles and they are hands-on management, clean rooms and personalized service. By personalized service, we mean, well-trained staff that can understand and provide care to our guests. We invest a lot of time on the last and are happy to know that the service was adequate. Thank you for commending our restaurant, IL GALLO NERO, which we also manage with the same principle of hands-on management. We were however, concerned about your comment about the rooms since it is our policy to have clean rooms. Upon inspection, we learned that what you thought was a dirty lavatory basin is not, but is actually a stain caused from the water. There is no way of taking that out, but we will still pursue this issue to see what else we can do about it. Regarding the bath tub, we confirmed how dust can accumulate easily. We sincerely apologize for that. We have installed methods to ensure that we have dust-free tubs. We thank you again, for your input. We will take this opportunity to find ways to improve in areas that we can grow so that we can give a better guest experience to valuable guests, like you.
