Hotels near Kubo sa Candon, Ilocos Sur

The staffs are friendly and easy to talk to. It's perfect if you don't like going out since they have a kitchen and refrigerator provided. However, there is no elevator, so it's better to request a ground-floor room if you have health problems that make it difficult to use the stairs.

You have to be alert to spot the location of this hotel. Aside from a big sign with its name all you can see is an old house. You have to enter a gate at the back of the old house where you will find this hotel. The 24 hour reception desk is located at the foot of the steps leading to the rooms. Its more like an apartment complex with studio apartments The rooms are pretty basic and worth what we paid for which was below Php 2k.If you just want an inexpensive place to lie your head down after visiting Vigan this place might suit you.DONT EXPECT TOO MUCH!

I like this hotel as the location is a plus. Very short distance to Calle Crisologo if you want to eat out. They also have their own resto in the hotel although very small. Over all i like staying in this hotel and this is well recommended!

The hotel is located in the center of the ancient city, and the facilities are fairly complete, but compared with other big-name boutique hotels, the facilities are outdated. If it is fully renovated and a better management team is introduced, this location can definitely create the best hotel in Vigan. It can only be said that the decoration is not as good as Home Inn, the service level is not bad, and the English level of the service staff is relatively high. The breakfast is not a buffet, it is a la carte, the quality is not very good, the coffee is extremely bad, I failed the food and drink, and it needs to be greatly improved.

Hotel Mercante was such a great part of my fun, peaceful, safe, educational, and rejuvenating stay in Vigan (Jan. 29-31, 2024). I had been skeptical at first about the 4.5 (out of 5) average rating that the hotel has received so far from Trip Advisor reviewers. After all, there are many other more popular (higher-rated and understandably higher-priced) options for accommodations in the city. But having enjoyed the Hotel Mercante experience myself, I do recommend the place for no-fuss travelers like me, who simply want a safe, clean, quiet, and efficiently run hotel. More than the basic amenities, however, there is something truly commendable about the hotel’s staff and management, with their warmth, care, and professionalism. Of course, hotel employees are trained to smile and to be polite, helpful, and efficient. But in my interactions with the Hotel Mercante team, I sensed a sincerity and an unobtrusive desire to be of assistance that is beyond the call of duty. Early on (before I had even set foot in Vigan or met anyone there in person), I had been relieved and grateful for the prompt and kind email responses I got from Hotel Mercante while I was searching online for accommodation options. I had emailed other hotels, but the responses from HM (particularly, Solenn and Sofie, Front House Associates) were not only prompt but also written in the friendliest and most professional tone. They courteously and clearly answered all my email inquiries. They were also considerate enough to offer the best room-rate options available, which meant a lot to a 60-year-old solo traveler like me. I also had fun getting some quick lessons on basic Ilocano phrases from Stan (the night guard, who welcomed me when I arrived early in the morning) and Sean (front desk officer, though perhaps his position may be higher—I met him the day I was leaving). “Agyamanak, ading!” (Thank you, young man/woman) and “ag pagna pagna” (just strolling or walking around to relax and enjoy the sights) will, from now on, be part of the limited Ilocano vocabulary close to my heart. I am also grateful to Sarah (front desk), Steve (housekeeping), Paige (Cantina Mercante), Shea, Suzy, and others whose names I wasn’t able to get. For solo travelers and for families or groups, Hotel Mercante is value for your money. But most of all, it is value for your (even more precious) time and trust. It may not be the most popular or most expensive/trendy/classy hotel in Vigan, but all I really needed was a place for homey, clean, safe, quiet, reasonably priced and very conveniently located accommodations—with excellent service and heartwarming staff. And I definitely, thankfully, got all that at Hotel Mercante.

We just came back from our visit to Vigan, Ilocos Sur. I thought to write this review before I start to get busy with work and home chores:-) The whole staff starting with Jackie, Jo, and all others there, they made our stay like our true home. They are warm people, attentive to our needs, caring, and respectful. The Hotel kept their place clean and sanitized maintaining the historic cultural appearance of the place. They have warm water for bath and provided us with clean towels, and complete toiletries. Breakfast is included in the daily charge. If you want to ride a ”calesa,” Jo did a good job in finding us a beautiful horse (his name is ”Castanio”), sturdy and strong. Hotel Felicidad provided us with a list of places to see. The Hotel has its own big parking lot that is secured. They, too, have their own transportation that caters to tourists (upon request) to take them to shop around the Calle Crisologo sections. Their wi-fi has a strong signal. Not sure of a business center since we were there for a pleasure visit. It's best to visit the ”Calle Crisologo” in the late afternoon till the evening. The beauty of the historic houses reveals even more their meaning. Try to visit the Bell Tower, do not miss it! I highly recommend Hotel Felicidad to all. Its proximity is best to tourist attractions, restaurants, churches, bakeries, and many more.

it was raining hard when we reached this place and the parking area was starting to get flooded. there was no staff to welcome the guests or offer umbrellas to shield us from the downpour. the hotel is not within the city of vigan. we were ushered to our room by one hotel helper who assisted us with our luggages. courteous and jolly guy. food was typically done the ilocano way. i'm used to the taste and the way it was presented. what i'm very particular about was the repetitive banana being offered for dessert, either boiled, caramelised or served very ripe. our towels were never replaced for the 4D/3N we stayed. they just assumed we didn't care since we didn't bother to request for a new set. the telephone in our room has no dial tone. the bathroom exudes an unpleasant smell at a particular hour at night. but overall, we felt welcomed as we stayed longer. we were allowed beyond the time to continue with our socials. the staff just let us be while singing our hearts out. they were very kind and understanding when we ask for small favors from time to time. might stay here again next time.

Ellen is such wonderful company to sit with in her kitchen and to chat over a cuppa. She will no doubt offer you a banana from the bunch hanging outside in the sunny courtyard too. Her homestay is clean, quaint and comfortable. The shower is hot. There are a shower, toilet and a combined shower/ toilet so never a problem waiting when the house is full of guests. Ellen arranged for her neighbour Rose to be my tour guide at ”mate's rates” meaning l paid the group of 10 price though I was the only one. There's no Wi-Fi at the house but the internet signal is strong if you use SIM data. There is s power outlet by the bed in your room - I am only mentioning that after having stayed in another town where there was not. The blanket was soft and fresh and kept you warm during the chilly March night (you must realise that Sagada is at the same altitude as Kathmandu). Highly recommended.

Hotel is situated on top of the mountain so the climate is cooler. They have fantastic view of uncorrupted mountains and if you're lucky, you'll get to witness a sea of clouds. Place is clean, staff and owner are nice and we love their Sinampalukang Manok as well. Internet is a challenge in most places in Sagada. Net was down on our first night but the owner made sure to lend us a different wifi router. Sagada town proper is approximately 5 km away and it's a lovely walk if you're up to it. This place here is a winner. Reminders: -Globe data is very slow, not sure about other providers. -download movies bring books to kill time at night just in case net is down. - room is simple but spacious. Bring your own toiletries since they run out of these when we were there. - I didn't notice public transportations so im not sure how this will work for guests w/o private vehicle. Town proper is approx 5 km away. -During our visit, most of the restaurants in the town proper are closed. The staff can cook for the guests but the options are limited since tourism is not yet back to 100% at the time. - bring water heater so you can prepare coffee and instant noodles. Also make sure to have food. The hotel kitchen and the rest of the restaurants in the town proper close at around 7pm.
