The hotel is undergoing maintenance / renovation to the dining area so breakfast wasn’t as good as normal as its temporary relocation is in the Lobby. Also absolutely no hot water in the bathroom for the duration of my stay (3 nights) This is my third stay and aside from the above niggles it’s a great hotel with good staff and a good central location

Very friendly staff and great location.
Joy, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Can’t complain too much as this is already one of the better hotels in dumaguete. They didn’t refill the water or the teas, had to call and ask. Also gave me a call in the morning and woke me up. Had wanted to sleep in. Just expect basic place to live. Probably already better than others around the area.
Estee, 3-night trip

It was a fair experience. The hotel is nice and we will stay again in the future.
