Hotels near Gaisano Grand Calinan, Davao

THE SITUATION We were on a budget and planned to stay for an entire week. We chose The Strand because the online information said it: 1) Was in the right location (near malls) 2) Fit our budget of less than 1000 pesos a night 3) Pictures showed it was clean and looked fairly new 4) Didn't have that motel vibe PROS: 1) Affordable -- less than 1000 a night, man. 2) Friendly, accommodating staff -- we had to change our booking because we were going to stay in another hotel after our first night in Davao, and then go back to The Strand on the third night. Of course, we gave this confirmation before the no cancellation deadline, but what I liked was that we didn't have to do any rebooking online. The staff arranged the modification for us. 3) Morning coffee and bread -- The booking.com information said that breakfast wasn't included. They actually serve one cup of coffee (Nescafe 3-in-1) and one piece of bread (stuffed pandesal) from 6am-10am. It's not a substitute for a proper breakfast, but it can stave off hunger while you're on your way to finding a restaurant or cafe. 4) New building -- It was built only 2 years ago 5) Clean -- Some dirt between the bathroom tiles but not a big deal CONS: 1) Steep & limited parking -- We cracked the car's front fender, and there were only two parking slots. Another option is street parking, but then won't be as secure. 2) No 24-hour pharmacies within walking distance -- I got sick and the hotel doesn't sell paracetamols either. Bring your own med kit if you plan to stay here. 3) No elevator -- They only have 4 levels, so not a big deal unless you're a PWD. Just request for a lower floor upon booking, NOT upon check-in. 4) No jeepney or bus stops nearby -- it's an 8-10 minute walk from the hotel to the nearest street with public transport. We suggest downloading the Grab application so that you can book a taxi anytime. Davao taxi drivers are nice :) 5) Saggy mattress OVERALL: Great for those who are no-frills travelers. The room was very basic, but spacious and clean (we booked a studio). However, next time we might stay somewhere else with better parking and closer to a convenience store or pharmacy. There were other minuscule inconveniences but at such a cheap price per night I was happy to just let them go.

When I was there together with my churchmates we're staying in D'Leonor Hotel for almost 1 week for our church activities. The staff is very friendly and accommodating who went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable and also have a good ambiance. Room with a majestic view, very clean and spacious. Great location which is situated at the heart of Davao. I highly recommend this hotel.

The place was clean and fresh kasi bago pa lang and the staff was very accommodating

Davao Airport View Hotel is a practical choice for travelers due to its proximity to the airport, just a short walk away. While the room's decor and amenities might be dated, the spaciousness compensates for it. The air conditioning is refreshingly cold, and the bed offers exceptional comfort for a good night's sleep. A nearby convenience store adds to the convenience, and for those with late check-ins, a 24-hour Jollibee opposite the airport ensures a meal is readily available. Though not luxurious, this hotel provides a comfortable stay for those prioritizing proximity to the airport and a good night's rest.

I stayed for 3 nights for about 2000 yen. As you write, I thought if I didn't ask for luxury, I would pass this price. Good point price, location in downtown center. Colonial architecture with an insta-fill courtyard pool, and stairs to insta-fill. Free breakfast with a degree of unselectable belly. You can watch CableTV on CRT TV. Good staff response. Bad point Amenities are only bath towels, bag rinse in shampoo, bag soap. No bathtub, safe, electric pot, toilet hand shower. Deluxe double has a refrigerator but fails. Pool that doesn't want to enter. No elevator (although I carried my luggage when I checked in). Wifi is good but slow. et cetera. I would like to compare other hotels or Airbnb at the same price next time I come to DVO.

This hotel is very nice place , nice pool , very attractive from the entrance. I was visiting my cousins to this hotel .my 3 sons happy sending their time in the pool at night ...very nice place quite and elegant.

Nice and safe stay. I recommend it.”

The hotel is located in the bustling city center with convenient transportation. The hotel management is professional and can patiently handle customer needs. In terms of service: Improve service details, such as airport pick-up and drop-off services, and fruit plate delivery services. The front desk staff are very good, proactive and enthusiastic. When in Davao, you must eat durian and tuna! This hotel is a bit old!

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always willing to go above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with modern amenities. The bed was extremely comfortable and I had a great night’s sleep. The hotel facilities were also top-notch, with a beautiful pool area, fitness center, and on-site restaurant serving delicious meals. The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and transportation options. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I will definitely be returning in the future.

One of the best Hotel in Davao. My Fiancé and I stayed here for 12 nights and we love it! The Manager were very friendly and accommodating as well as the staffs. We had a very memorable moments in this hotel. Until next time Park Inn Thank you so much!
