The entrance may not be so grand (beside Seven Eleven) but wait 'til you get in. With a friendly staff, greenery and art deco both at the corridors and room not to mention the large tree and native kiosk at the center makes me feel I am in the right place...home. The place is located near the Provincial Capitol, away from the city center but very accessible via tricycles....It is also close to a seafood restaurant , bus terminal and airport.....the booking was also fast and easy

Don't be put off by the entrance off the road. This pensionne offers a very comfortable, affordable stay for the weary traveler. It is tastefully decorated and the the rooms are large, clean and well maintained. The staff were always, friendly, competent and very helpful. Wi fi is great and the convenience of the 711 store next door makes for everything you would want from a budget hotel.
Not much to look at from the street, but with a friendly welcome from staff, helping to park on their drive, we were led through a beautiful courtyard and seating area to our room. Clean and spacious with air con, tv and shower. Surprisingly quiet considering the proximity to the main road, with a nice outside seating area on the veranda. Highly recommended and only 1100 php (£15) per night.
Called them on their mobile and booked a queens bed room but got a twins bed instead. But overall the place is great for the price. I paid 950 for an overnight stay.
Pros:
- There was a water heater for the shower
- The bathroom is small but the amenities was complete it even included a bidet which is rare (based on a previous experience I had staying at 2 previous hotels here)
-The Bed is soft
-There was cable tv (Although the TV was a CRT type)
- The WiFi is great and the signal is strong. Good for emails and facebook (but if you're always bringing your work with you and taking in skype calls I suggest purchasing an LTE mobile WiFi)
-There was an outlet on the bedside
Suggestions:
The curtains are a bit thin so at night time you can be seen outside. I like to keep the lights open whenever I stay at a hotel room so I placed a bedsheet at the curtain rails.
Would I stay here again? Definitely.
Stayed here overnight last August with my friend. Good room, spacious and AC works fine.
Wonderful staff, always friendly and willing to help.
711 is just in front of the hotel.
Wifi connection is good too.
This is not the most glamourous hotel but the service is definitely top notch. Being a hotelier, I must admit that I am thoroughly impressed with this hotel. The rooms are clean and has all the necessities that are needed. It has a good wifi connection, an extremely polite front office team, good location and really good pricing. It is near the city centre and also the airport. Besides that, the accommodation has a little garden at the backyard with a tastefully decorated gazebo. What else can you ask for?
