Facilities is really good, location is very good too. Staff are kind people. Price is right.

Water pressure on shower is really low. We only stayed one night so it's fine. Also wifi signal is really low too. :(

location is near the city center and it’s easy to go around

the room has a weird smell, has mosquitoes, and the bathroom seemed like they dont clean it regularly (tiles, sink, and faucets have a lot of stains)

good location

bloodstains on the mattress topper, noisy, no facilities, bathroom smelled bad. Hotel was having a party for Sinulog festival but upon check in nothing was mentioned, felt like we were intruding and not welcome. Overpriced even for Sinulog time. such a shame :(

Well they had cable TV, with international channels like BBC and Al Jazeera.

Everything else. The photos on their booking page are very appealing, but the reality is so far from this. I have no idea how this place got good reviews so far. It's so run down, dirty, and unkept. I stayed at room 102 and immediately upon entering the room there was a sewage-like odor that the caretaker insisted was "Downy." The bathroom hasn't been cleaned properly for god knows how long. There were visible molds in the shower area and I saw a couple of roaches crawling around. It also smells terrible. The air-conditioner is too loud, you cannot make a phone call. Around it is brown masking tape to cover the possible holes/ air vents. This place is just poorly maintained.
