Great location, Superb restaurant

We arrived early in the morning at 8am, asking for 2 rooms for 2-3 days.
We could immediately check-in without any additional fee.
Hotel is greatly located at main road between southern Dumaguete and Airport. In the room, main road noise was not really disturbing.
Room was very good compared to the "average Philippine standard", especially at this price. Spacious & clean.
The restaurant was a big surprise. All the foods they offer, are very delicious.

Still the best in Dumaguete.

Another stay in this deservedly popular hotel. Its conveniently situated in the centre of town with a good restaurant, and a spa.
Excellent linens, beds and housekeeping. Good WiFi, free water, included breakfast buffet or a la carte if you want American or English cuisine.

Bathroom in our room could do with a deep clean and TLC, fittings getting a little worn but still presentable. But this is no longer a new hotel and is very will used, always busy.

Overall a great hotel to relax in, brilliant staff make staying a pleasure.

Room tip: Rooms on the rear are over the kitchens, some fan noise.

My top choice for my foreigner guests

I always tell my guys to stay here during our Tour together. Its the only upscale place in central Dumaguete. It's not cheap, but the men appreciate the quality. They give me a discount since i am a regular.

Central Location and Relaxing View @ Roofdeck

The hotel is at the Center of the city, near the very clean market and business district. Based on my observation, it has a small parking space upfront but the lobby is elegant and welcoming. The room has enough space for 2 people, it has a refrigerator, water heater, cable tv, A/C unit and hot/cold shower which worked perfectly. The roofdeck will give you a complete vista of the city. The food tastes good and it is a mere 10-minute ride from the airport and 5-minutes from the seaport. They offer tour services and is considerate to tourists’ needs as they really offer sound advice.
