        Clean and Affordable Stay in a Central Location”

        Stayed here for a night since we wanted to head over to Oslob after. It was walking distance for the hotel to the Dumaguete port to Siquijor. It looks new and has an elavator. We took a family room for the 3 of us. It was big enough and had good water pressure. The only thing it lacked was a bidet for the toilet. Please add that in!!! Everything else was perfect. The staff were courteous and welcoming. There was security even if it was late. Check in and checkout was a breeze. There was a 1k security deposit that was returned upon checkout. Will stay here if I go back to Dumaguete. We walked from here to San Srival Bistro. Going back there we headed away from the sea and there were many shops and food places within the vicinity.

        Great place if you're visiting Silliman University which is located right across. It's at the center of Dumaguete City too, making most establishments closer to you at walking distance. One thing that's not indicated in this listing is the security deposit of PHP 1,000. You also need to leave your room key every time you go out.

        The place is just walking distance to the shops, boulevard, sans rival and many more. There is a seven eleven shop right in front where you can buy coffee and sandwiches and other things you might need. It is clean enough and the staff are friendly. You can request for electric kettle and mugs if you need them. Great place to stay in if you happen to be in Dumaguete.

        Great Location and room but... ”

        They are really really strict. We had visitors come over. They asked for IDs which was reasonable for safety but they keep on calling the room to let our visitor come down. This did not happened once but called so many times. Probably, normal for others but with other hotels even high end hotels I have stayed with - never did this happen. The front desk wasn't really that accommodating and pleasing too.

        So close to Silliman University and the famous Boulevard. Access to ATM, pharmacy, and convenience store across the street with restaurants all around.

        First nice shower we had in the Philippines. The room was big and spatious there was a TV and the WiFi was good. It was literally a 5 min walk to the port. Nothing to complain about really. But I did find a lot of flies in the room.

        Budget Hotel is okay”

        Hotel is surrounded by restaurant but still quiet at night. It's also walking distance to the boulevard, so location wise it's really good. The room was a bit tight but for a budget hotel it was already spacious. The room was clean would have wanted it to be spotless clean but it's a budget hotel. They also provided towels, soap, shampoo and tissue. Overall would recommend this place.

        Best Location”

        It's super near to everything in Dumaguete. Along it are great food shops. Across is 7eleven and all the convenience you need. I just hope they have breakfast included to complete the experience.
