The best family style hotel this part of the Visayas when in Bohol!!

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Feb 11, 2017via mobile
Vest Grand Suites was a welcome surprise tucked in the city of Tagbilaran. From our pick up driver Grant, to Marites at the front desk to our tour driver Alden and the wait staff Darryl Anne and partner especially to the manager, Michael and his wife who prepared her own banana bread. A very safe, comfortable, affordable, clean, quiet place to stay and trust in Bohol.. Dark red hardwood floor that smelled of floor wax permeated thru the corridors, very spacious room with a double/single bed (#305) wifi accessible, no outside window comfortable air conditioned room..
Breakfast choices were corned beef, side of bacon, the local daing (dried fish) usual tocino, a vegetarian mushroom omelette for my vegetarian wife. More local choices could be better. Tang and coffee are part of the morning drinks. Customer service is very good, tours were arranged at the front desk upon request. Pick up to and from the airport/seaport is free. Spoke with Michael Ayos, the manager.. Very accommodating and open to ideas that will make their hotel better and more efficient for travelers. The hot/cold water could use some adjustment for a stronger shower.. We requested pandesal to be bought for breakfast and the staff complied with no service charge, otherwise white
toasted bread is served at the spacious breakfast area with TV. They gave my wife the remote to watch CNN.
Overall, a good experience at this place, a tricycle away from the main drag where grocery stores, pharmacy, restaurants abound.. Yes.. We would like to come back at this hotel.. Keep on eating and traveling.. Rolly H.

From room reservation, pickup and drop off at the port, providing itinerary for our Bohol countryside trip, securing tickets for our next destination was so hassle free and no worries at all. An excellent service provided by the staff. Breakfast was on time, even our tour guide was on time. Like an old house converted to a hotel and don't expect an elevator but the staff can help carry your bags with you. A decent place enough to recharge.
Our tour guide is approachable, knowledgeable (he told us what to do and not what to do in every place we visit), with a good sense of humour, and patient. He's always ready and his good in photography. I forgot his name but he jokingly told us that his family are the tarsiers.

This hotel is located in a quiet and nice neighborhood on a nice street. The hotel has a very professional staff that will work with you via email or whatever means of communication you might like to use. This place offers free Continental (Philippine & Western Breakfasts). They also, provide lunch and dinner too (if interested). We however ate out. There are no elevators, but the hotel provides workers to carry your luggage to and from your rooms. This was a former Pension House that was converted to what is now the Vest Grand Suites. They also offer shuttle services direct from their front door to various interesting sites to see in and around Bohol. We were very satisfied with all that was provided to us. So, if you are looking for a quiet place without the hustle and bustle of staying at a beach resort which is quite more expensive than where we stayed, and, if you are older and don't like staying at a beach resort, this is the place for you to stay at.

Room tip: Quiet rooms.

I am retired and travel and stay in hotels all the time - I have never stayed at a worse hotel.
The room was small and smelly - I felt nauseous.
The sheets and linen were stained, old and threadbare.
The breakfast was mean and I was charged extra for receiving a single rasher of bacon - unbelievable.
The road outside is dirt, potholed and muddy - almost impassable.
There were no redeeming aspects.
This was my personal honest experience.

We went to Bohol for a vacation. We stayed at Vest Pension House. This place is just near the Tagbiliran Airport. The staffs are nice and accommodating. They have the old style of rooms. Don't expect too much but for a short stay of 2 nights, this place is pretty decent enough and safe place to stay. They also have drop and pick up services for a reasonable price to the places you want to visit. We rented a car going to Panglao Beach. The location of this accommodation is nice as you can just ride a tricycle if you want to go to malls, grocery, atm machines or buy pasalubong. We tried their food as we have free breakfast included in our package. They have the basic breakfast, tocino, tapa, daing na bangus, longanisa etc. Food quality and taste is average.

Nothing fancy here - some rooms are a bit antiquated - but for the price, it is a fair deal.
Well located and staff was really nice. Breakfast below average. They can organize scooter rental and have a free shuttle to the pier.
