Alvea Hotel Reviews

Very good value for the price and perfect location, convenient for Ironman participants

Nice three star hotel located in central Puerto Princesa. 5-10 minutes walk to cathedral and bay walk, where you can find places to eat. Room was small but bed was comfortable, shower was good, and nice view of city. Reception staff were friendly and arranged trip for us to subterranean caves. They provided free transfer to airport which took about ten minutes. All in all an enjoyable stay

Was literally on this island for an afternoon and morning. I had a tour and was able to see the city night and day. Good breakfast. Very clean rooms. Transportation easy. Markets nearby. Friendliest and prettiest area with both organic and unique people. I forgot to take a photo of the terrace, but it’s beautiful. Get a day tour of the city because the high school students are often training for college careers in tourism. Helpful staff.

Enjoyed our stay, good breakfast and lovely staff who were always happy to help

Staff is very helpful, very nice people ! I’d suggest to rent a scooter (around 600 pesos /day) and going around. Hotel is new and clean. Not many choices for breakfast, I’d recommend for a short one night or two nights stay maximum.

I had a pleasant stay. Breakfast options are limited but it’s a buffet.

Good location. Not far from the Baywalk area and SM Mall. The staff members are nice and helpful. The room was clean and bright

The staff here is super polite and hospitable. We said that we have a flight at 6 am on the next day, so they have prepared an early breakfast for us, which was available since 5:30 am. Breakfast was decent. Also, the hotel has provided a free drop off to the airport, which we did appreciate a lot. In general, everything was amazing. The only upsetting thing was the noise outside. It was hard to fall asleep because of the motorbikes driving around and people being noisy outside, but it’s hard to blame the hotel on that. If possible, I recommend booking a room on the back part of the hotel, so it’s less close to the road.

Very small room and poor breakfast. Toilet and bathroom is like for child, rooms looks like Hongkong Indian hostels, no have place to keep your luggage, window is looks on the wall. How they get 5 start I don’t know, most of 3-stars hotels in this place looks much better. Good look over the city from the rooftop. So good that we was only 1 night.

Basically newly-constructed hotel located right at the heart of Puerto Princesa City. Nice and courteous staff. Free breakfast is excellent. Very reasonably priced rooms. Few meters away from SM, NCCC Mall, Airport, Public Market and restaurants. Rooms are nice and clean.

Convenient location 10min away from PPS Airport. Central in town, easy to walk to nearby eateries and amenities. Laundry shop just 2min walk away, bakeries and eateries within a 5min walk. Super friendly staff and helpful reception. Free airport transfer is much appreciated too. Even managed to book an in-room massage for us! Only area of improvement is breakfast could be served faster, but otherwise tasty and good. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Great Facilities

Excellent location - not far from the airport, shopping mall, market, embankment, chain cafes nearby. Free shuttle to the airport. There is a veranda with a good view of the city.

Breakfast was listed as being served from 6:00 to 10:00, but was explained as being served from 6:30 on site. I requested a shuttle, but there was no response. In the end, the Trip.com app said that the request had been rejected, but they did come to pick me up. However, I was in a very difficult-to-find location, so I assumed that the request had not been accepted and that they would not have been there, and I was about to take a taxi. Also, I was asked to pay an additional fee at check-in because it was outside of the regular service hours. I booked the hotel because I thought it had a free shuttle... Also, if they had explained the situation in advance if it was not free, I would have considered taking action. The discrepancy or lack of information between the hotel site and the actual site is a problem when making a reservation. The shower was not very hot. You can watch YouTube and Netflix. I heard karaoke (karaoke??) from outside the hotel until late at night, which was unpleasant. I did not meet many other guests in the hotel, and the building itself was quiet. The room was kept clean.
