Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Prperty and staff are top notch. And this is close to some key sights. This is a poor area in a relatively poor city if you are from the west so you will see a lot of things you are not used to outside of the hostile. That being said, the locals were friendly and I never felt unsafe. Place can't be beat money or service wise. Highly recommend to young back packer on a buget.

Location is good. Nice staff but our room was really bad smell. Like you are in septic tank. Need to change or renovate the toilet and the floors .

Good location if you’re getting the ferry. And good price but the room needs to be a little more clean. My bathroom floor was always wet water was coming from under the tiles.

Paulina

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The area where it is located feels very unsafe, at night there is no public lighting, the streets are dark, there are many homeless people. As for the hotel, it doesn't look the same as in the photos, the walls of the rooms are cracked, the bathroom is very ugly, at night you can not sleep because you can hear all the noise from the hallway, from the reception, you can hear everything! Also lots of light comes in through a window above the bedroom door. I couldn't rest on the trip. I would not stay here again. I don’t recommend.

地點非常方便，距離市區景點大多都是散步可到；當地最大的購物中心(SM seaside)也只要10分鐘左右的車程。最難忘的是住處附近的按摩店都非常超值。宿霧的人們都好可愛，很樂天活潑，這是一趟難忘的城市旅程。
