Dumaguete Hotels with Balcony

I love this hotel. i have stayed here now many many times, and i have NEVER had a bad experience, so i thought i would finally write a DESERVED GOOD review. The Hotel is placed right at the heart of Dumaguete, everything you would want is with a few mins of the hotel, the hotel also provides trips to some of the popular tourist attractions. The rooms are always clean and fresh with daily room service, but in my opinion the only thing that lets the rooms down are the showers which sadly could do with more maintenance as often they are faulty in some way and poorly kept looking, but they still provide good supply of hot water. I have stayed in all of the rooms they offer, from their suite to the standard rooms, and all show the same levels of cleanliness and the rooms always feel welcoming. Free breakfast is provided and the restaurant is good and the food well cooked and presented , the hotel provides a full range of pampering service if you require some self indulgence. The staff are ALWAYS friendly polite professional and on hand for any reason and will always make you feel important and a valued guest. I have in all my stays at this Hotel had only ever had one problem which was dealt with professionally, immediately and satisfactorily,. This hotel is ALWAYS my first choice when i visit Dumaguete, and will continue to be so They have plenty of rooms and even as a walk in, i have never been turned away from being fully booked, Its always a pleasure staying here.... See you next time !

Good, clean room with nice room service serving good food, nice swimming pool. Nice view from the balcony of the mountains. TV was a good size with excellent channel selection. Wasn't too expensive, but I believe rates have now gone way up.

The hotel is just across Binhai Avenue, and there is a lot of food around, very convenient! However, we just happened to be renovating upstairs when we checked in, and there was a constant noise during the day, because we stayed for one day, so it was just a short while away. By the way, the sound insulation of the room is not very good

The aircon doesn't function well, but the room is good and clean even if it is small

Poorly equipped and badly maintained. Not even a tin opener in the kitchen when we arrived, no tumblers, only 3 bowls, no teaspoons. Cooking equipment two camp style pots and a frying pan with a loose handle! Floors filthy, bathroom dirty . Thin sheets over stained and torn mattresses, no sign of mattress protectors. Dangerous electric sockets with exposed wiring. Swimming pool went green for 3 days Staff friendly but obviously are ignorant of acceptable standards and lacking both supervision and guidance.

Good service and food. This is the second time I have stayed there. Problems. Hot water not working. Internet can cut in and out at times Only soap in bathroom No fridge Kettle but no cups or coffee/tea sachets

The room was better than I expected, how they set up the interior was really clever, I love how they’ve setup a multi-purpose table that can be useful for anything — eating, working, storage of some of my important belongings. The lamp was really nice, too. It actually looked pretty classy. And the bed is what I have hoped for, especially after a really hectic day. The life-size mirror was a plus. I loved how they had breakfast served in plates but it came up with a complimentary buffet-style variety of drinks and some bread and jam. The marmalade and berry jam were really delicious. The staff were really helpful and nice. They even recommended places to check out. The place is across the wet market and beside the building is a pharmacy/convenience store.

We (1 x Australian male & 1 x Filipina) stayed for one week in a Family Apartment. We chose Villa Prescilla as we wanted to be able to self-cater and cook our own meals. The hotel is a short drive from both the airport (via taxi) and the centre of Dumaguete (trike). Getting transport via a trike is easy, plus the trikes here are much bigger than in Manila or Angeles and the prices were reasonable: but it does help if you have a Filipina with you to ensure you are not being taken advantage of (but I still gave tips to drivers). Location is away from the hustle & bustle of Dumaguete, but the road is still very busy and noise from traffic can be a bit of a problem, but main bedroom is at the rear of the building and we kept the doors shut. To avoid being awakened too early by neighbouring roosters or barking dogs, I recommend having the fan on for white noise. The hotel is a bit old and showing its age, but it is still clean, pleasant and had everything we needed, plus the caretaker/s were very helpful and friendly. My only gripe would be in relation to the Wi-Fi signal which at times was non-existent (welcome to the Philippines...lol). In the times we live, Wi-Fi has become a necessity and I was relying on being able to use my laptop, so it was of great importance to me to be able to access the internet when I wanted / needed. Fortunately, each time I really needed to access the internet the caretakers would come to the apartment and were able to get a signal for me through trial and error, plus a lot of persistence and sometimes calling upon the available IT guru (caretakers’ teenage son). My Filipina was very happy with the kitchen facilities and was able to whip up some great meals. Caretakers were also able to arrange a private car with driver for us (day trip to Bindoy) and a taxi for the journey to the airport for our departure.

Not too sure what to expect, even though the reviews were all positive. As others ha e mentioned, common areas and rooms are all furnished in quality mainly antique furniture, collected by the owner on his travels. The rooms have very comfortable beds, hot water for the shower and polite and attentive staff. We booked 3 rooms for our family and all were of a good quality, far better than others we have stayed in that cost far more. When we are in the area again we will definitely stay again.
