"We truly enjoyed our stay at Villa Minerva Eco Farm with my family. The place offers a peaceful and refreshing environment, perfect for quality time and relaxation. The natural surroundings and eco-friendly atmosphere made the experience even more special. It was a great escape from the busy routine, and we appreciated the calm and welcoming ambiance. Overall, it was a memorable family getaway that we would happily recommend."

"average hence service is excellent"

"The staff are so accommodating. Thank you for your service."

"The location is perfect. Just a few minute walk to Calle Crisologo. The staff are friendly and accommodating. My only concern are the mosquitoes in the room. They should provide some mosquito repellants at least. But overall, it was a good stay."

"Clean Nice people Not near to the center but its quite ok."

"Super duper accommodating staff. Not really now facility, but you can feel the history."

"Can walk easily to Calle Crisologo. Staff was really friendly. The family room was big, airy. We booked the room as 3 pax but breakfast provided was good for 6. Can take out the extra meal. Free water bottles. Heated water temp could be adjusted by the actual water heater right below the sink."

"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."
