Hotels near Purok 8 Chapel, Bacolod

Recently to present myself to LOCResidents regarding a room for rent in Bacolod City, Philippines. While there, presented a handout of room rates I had receive, and agreed on the room rate advertised. Then was told – while sitting there - ‘’price will be 10% more’’ and the sales associate wrote on my sheet a new – higher price. Felt offended, but said ‘’ok’’ anyway. Learned LOCResidence also offered ‘’long term rental’’. Told ‘’only two left – 1st come 1st served’’ and inspected a unit that was unfinished with no electrical outlets and/or kitchen-bath finished or ceramic flooring yet completed and ready to move in. Said I am interested, returned later to see about long term leasing, and asked for ‘’a rental agreement’’ to read. Told by the sales associate, ‘’1st you must make a 2 month deposit then you can see / read our rental agreement’’. After one hour and twenty minute discussion on this subject rental agreement, I was allowed to read someone else’s rental agreement – not a blank one presented to me to possibly sign. In reading someone else’s rental agreement, (in English unit #208 signed in November 2018) read several points that seemed not in the best interest of the tenant. Including agreeing to (if I signed and paid money in advance – on an unfinished unit), the right of management to enter my flat if determined I was in violation of agreement ANYTIME management so chooses. (No right of privacy). I walked away from LOCResidence, and I suggest you do the same!

The hotel is good in the local area, very quiet, mainly air conditioning quiet, the room is large, the rack is also very high. The richest hotel is good, but there is no Chinese food, and you need to take a taxi from SM or shopping center.

My wife and I stayed at the Henry Hotel for 5 weeks. We were totally impressed by Beverly's staff. They were professional, friendly, and accommodating. All my requests were handled in a prompt manner. The rooms were clean and up-to-date and the beds were very comfortable. The restaurant had delicious food they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The restaurant staff we're excellent. Their location is close to Robinsons Mall. We felt very safe. The hotel has after hour security and it's across the street from the PNP police station. I would totally recommend the Henry. Thank you Beverly!

This has been my go-to hotel since 2013 and I can say that I am always at home every time I check in here. My recent stay was during the holidays from December 29, 2023 to January 4, 2024. What I notice different from the previous stays were the staffs are more proactive and very customer-service oriented and would greet you when they see you at the lobby. These minor touch is very well appreciated by guests. The front desk were very helpful and efficient. The housekeeping were always on their foot everytime I need them. The bellman were also warm everytime they greeted us at the lobby. The hotel room I stayed was great although a bit dated. Aircon was good and powerful. The bathroom was also great, not slippery, no moldy areas. The breakfast buffet is great as well. Staffs at Ripples restaurant were up on their feet and is very efficient in assisting guests. Overall, I had a great stay and would still stay here when I’m in Bacolod.

We were staying in this hotel for like 3 days last month. I thought they were just like the other hotels we have stayed at, where the employees and staff are doing well, polite, respectful to their clients, etc., but I guess I was a bit wrong. Moreover, it was my first experience from this hotel that every day we have to jump in or transfer to another room for so many reasons, and to be honest, we were integrally aggravated because we had to fix and gather our stuff again before transferring. That idea from them was too awful. Additionally, the first room that we were in was spacious, and we had our own cabinet, but when we were transferred to our rooms on the second and third days, I really didn’t like it because the room was too small; it didn’t have any cabinets or hangers to hang our clothes. We were paying the right amount of money per day, although it is very expensive and the hotel had no elevators, yet I don't know if they were providing or giving us small yet uncomfortable rooms considering that I availed of the room just like the first day that we were put into. Hence, the second and last rooms on our second and third days are really not reasonable.

I love how clean my room was, I hope for new pillows. They were not fluffy enough. I had a good sleep though. The staff were also pleasant. I love the K9 named wattatops. I also would like to suggest to add fruit looks on your cereal for breakfast and more food choices for buffet.

Being located at the heart of City of Smiles is one of its advantage; where church, malls, and other attractions are just steps away it's really undeniable that GT Hotel is one of the best value hotels in the metro. I can say that foods are great, desserts are highly commendable and have reasonable prices. They also have function rooms and very accommodating sales and marketing, food & beverage, housekeeping, and front office staff. On top of that, this hotel has a spacious parking lot where you can really say that they value their guests' security and safety because they have guards on duty and the area is covered with cctv cameras. Furthermore, hotel room rates truly prove its value. Rooms are clean and well maintained and room attendants are all nice and friendly. Checking in on time has never been an issue because front office staff secures room availability upon guests' arrival and if not available, they make offer that the guest/s can leave their things at the concierge and will be immediately informed if room is already available. May GT Hotel Bacolod continues to deliver good customer service and be more driven to excel in hotel and hospitality industry. This hotel is always ”a home, away from home”. :)
