Reasonable hotel with a buffet breakfast ( limited non-Philippines options). The wifi in our room kept cutting out but seemed Ok in the common areas. Several Xmas functions held in the hotel during our 3 night stay. A little noisy but finished by 10pm.

Excellent location in downtown area. After many stays here, I almost can't stand eating in lobby restaurant. Food is unappealing. Needs variety. I would suggest breakfast buffet selection include eggs cooked to order; pancakes; bacon

One of my favorite places to stay in Dumaguete. Great staff, comfortable rooms, and fair online booking price. Negatives: Water pressure somewhat weak in bathroom sink and shower; free breakfast buffet often cold and in bad need of more and better choices...

I like the hotel but the shower heater doesnt work so well and the ac remote control is not working properly too. Its super cold but we cant adjust as it doesnt work well. The shower water pressure is just too low. But overall,their staff and service was very amazing,friendly and approachable.
