Noisy, old and unwelcoming.
Very very noisy hotel. Needs modernized. Threatening signs everywhere. Makes guests feel unwelcome. Breakfast not fully stocked and poorly done.

The property is conveniently located and within walking distance of the main block that offers several dining options. However, complimentary amenities such as bottled water or set of coffee are not provided. Bed furnishings and furnitures are outdated.

Average central hotel
This is a busy central hotel that has seen better days. The staff are great but the rooms are dated, dark and not particularly comfortable. The incessant traffic noise could be heard even on the 7th floor so the room wasn’t very quiet. There was only one lift working which is a nuisance when the hotel is busy. Breakfast was ok but the room was so busy and people so greedy that there wasn’t anywhere to sit and not much to eat. It’s ok for a couple of days but I wouldn’t return to Dumaguete or this hotel.
