Needed a place to spend overnight at Roxas City. My hosts planned to have me check-in a newer hotel but it was fully booked. Kapis Mansions was a very good alternative. It is indeed like a mansion with its spaciousness, decors, grand staircase. The room I used was also spacious, properly furnished, and provided excellent sleep quality. I found having the sink outside the bathroom with benefits. I heard that the hotel has been renovating to keep up with competition. My complaint is that they should have at least installed bidet shower hoses in the bath rooms. The free breakfast was just okay. It was not really spectacular although I noticed that the place is frequented by a lot of people for breakfast. Wifi is available but only in the reception area.

The rooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. The staff are friendly.
The place could use an elevator. Though it’s only a 2 story hotel, it could be discouraging to those that couldn’t use the stairs to stay in this hotel.

We were booked here for 3 nights but stayed only for a night. We arrived a bit late in the evening and was looking forward to have a good night's sleep. But to our disappointment, we found two cockroaches in the room, the beds and cabinets were dusty, and toilet flush was not functioning. After an attempt to fix the toilet, the staff moved us to another room, expecting it to be better. But again, we were dismayed with the dusty beds with some strands of hair, cobwebs at the corner, and uncleaned CR (this could be too much information but there were traces of urine in the toilet seat!!!). It was past midnight, we did not have enough energy to complain but decided to immediately transfer to other hotel the following morning.

Pros: spacious room and bed, friendly staff, room rates inclusive of breakfast, accepts credit card

Cons: old, damp, and not well- maintained rooms, unclean beddings and pillows, weird lay out of the room (sink is outside of the CR), pricey room rates unmatched with the poor quality of rooms
