Hotel Essencia

The hotel has a good location in downtown area of Dumaguete. I gone a windowless room and didn’t like it very much since you feel your in prison. Not really but it’s not natural. The bed are fine but just one pillow per bed. Breakfast was good. Internet was off and on.

Thank that's awesome experienced

The hotel staffs are very accommodating. The room are being cleaned every day when I arrive back at the hotel room after the day ends the toiletries, towels are being refilled. They fix the beddings everyday. And the breakfast buffet are so splendid it is a must try. It is worth staying here. Will definitely come back.

Not very friendly check in staff, AC in room is outdated, the temperature cant be controlled by the remote control, you literally have to unplug the AC so that the room wont be so cold, for the price you pay, they really need to provide a newer and updated AC system. Also bad toxic smells coming out from the AC, we had an infant baby and he kept coughing, stay away from this hotel if you have kids, unfriendly waiter staff for the buffet, rudely asking you to give them your buffet tickets, the food itself is not soo good, just two types of rice, some cold scrambled eggs, toast, some fruits, but dont expect a real buffet, simple, and they ask you to finish or clean the plate almost if not you pay a fine for leaving leftovers in your plate. The bathroom toilet also start not to function towards the end, the water just kept running and running and not able to flush, the side hose was also broken or almost broken Dont really recommend this hotel for the price you are paying them, unfriendly and rude service and bad faciilities, there are other better options for this 'western prices" almost 50 dollars a night. If you feel like giving them your money and not getting any value for it, then go for it!

evrything is excelent except the mini refrigirator door can't close tightly. the morning food buffet is very tasty. staff freindly. room is very nice and clean .
