Pet friendly Hotels Dumaguete

We (1 x Australian male & 1 x Filipina) stayed for one week in a Family Apartment. We chose Villa Prescilla as we wanted to be able to self-cater and cook our own meals. The hotel is a short drive from both the airport (via taxi) and the centre of Dumaguete (trike). Getting transport via a trike is easy, plus the trikes here are much bigger than in Manila or Angeles and the prices were reasonable: but it does help if you have a Filipina with you to ensure you are not being taken advantage of (but I still gave tips to drivers). Location is away from the hustle & bustle of Dumaguete, but the road is still very busy and noise from traffic can be a bit of a problem, but main bedroom is at the rear of the building and we kept the doors shut. To avoid being awakened too early by neighbouring roosters or barking dogs, I recommend having the fan on for white noise. The hotel is a bit old and showing its age, but it is still clean, pleasant and had everything we needed, plus the caretaker/s were very helpful and friendly. My only gripe would be in relation to the Wi-Fi signal which at times was non-existent (welcome to the Philippines...lol). In the times we live, Wi-Fi has become a necessity and I was relying on being able to use my laptop, so it was of great importance to me to be able to access the internet when I wanted / needed. Fortunately, each time I really needed to access the internet the caretakers would come to the apartment and were able to get a signal for me through trial and error, plus a lot of persistence and sometimes calling upon the available IT guru (caretakers’ teenage son). My Filipina was very happy with the kitchen facilities and was able to whip up some great meals. Caretakers were also able to arrange a private car with driver for us (day trip to Bindoy) and a taxi for the journey to the airport for our departure.

Dumaguete Dormitel is located just 5 minutes walk from the downtown area, surrounded by restaurants, bars, markets and supermarkets make this accommodation an ideal place to stay**** on your visit to the island. They offer two types of accommodation: shared rooms or double rooms. In our case we chose the double and it was phenomenal. A fairly spacious room made up of two large single beds, a desk with a chair, a table, a bench, a mirror, a wardrobe, a television, a fridge and air conditioning. The bathroom, private, made up of a toilet, sink and shower, all separated by screens, which is appreciated for not having everything wet all the time, hahaha. In our room we also had a private terrace with a clothes rack, ideal for hanging your wet clothes if you want to do your laundry. The room also included towels, toilet paper and a welcome kit with toothbrush, toothpaste and soap. In addition to the rooms, they have common areas (on each floor and in reception) with sofas and tables where you can rest, work or share experiences with other travellers. Despite having many rooms and being close to the road, it is very quiet and not noisy at all. People were respectful at all times and we never heard one voice louder than another. The Internet connection works well, which made it much easier for us to be able to work during the days we were there, something that is sometimes quite complicated in the Philippines. They also have a water machine (for a fee) and a laundry service. There are always staff at reception to help you with whatever you need, as well as a guard at the door at night. The room met our expectations, as I have already said the location is ideal, so I would recommend Dumaguete Dormitel without any hesitation.

The Stunning Apartment in Dumaguete, Philippines provides a great place for travelers to relax after a busy day. The Stunning Apartment in Dumaguete, Philippines is an ideal choice for travelers who want to take in the sights and sounds of Dumaguete.The hotel offers easy access to Sibulan Airport, just 4km away. Keeping busy is easy, with Rizal Boulevard Pantawan 3, Mary Immaculate Parish and Quezon Park all nearby.After a long day of sightseeing, guests can retire to the comfort of the hotel.

Being new, the rooms are small, but neat and clean. They are very colourful, as you can see from the photos. There's a rooftop pool, possibly the smallest hotel pool ever, yet quite deep. Good for cooling off and for its views of the city. If there are sufficient guests, breakfast may be a buffet on the top floor, which is quite good. Otherwise, you only get to order a meal and one drink from the cafe next to reception. As is often the case in the Philippines, the choice is extremely limited in that case. It's hard to rate the hotel's value, when these are two vastly different situations. You can have 4 or 5 or more glasses of juice at the breakfast buffet, or only 1 if that's not operating. I'll be generous and rate it very good, but that assumes they supply the decent breakfast. If you get stuck with the cafe breakfast, I'd downgrade it to average.

For a 5 star hotel, it doesn’t seem like it is and definitely not worth the price. -Poor amenities (Example, they offer a small thin bar of soap as a body wash. Why wouldn’t they offer liquid body wash? Also, some towels were overused) -They clean the rooms/bathrooms and change your towels after 3 days instead of everyday. There’s no pandemic anymore so why not clean the rooms everyday?! -Good food, but not enough choices for breakfast (Why wouldn’t pancakes be included in the options?Also, the coffee doesn’t taste good - strong and burnt tasting) -Nice staff, but they need more training: ＞Food Service is slow and inefficient. During breakfast and lunch, our food were served after hours of waiting. Some of our orders came incorrectly (not what we ordered). ＞Disorganize and lack in system. ＞They lack in staff both at the front desk and Sans rival Cafe. -They will charge you if you don’t return all your keycards. If this was a true 5 star hotel, you wouldn’t charge your guests for something cheap and disposable. Overall, our stay was ok (big rooms and nice pool), but lacking in amenities and training of staff. There are more cons than pros. Whoever owns this hotel seems like they are saving too much on costs. Never going to stay in any of the Henry Hotels in the Philippines.

The place is quiet, good for people who like relaxation in a tranquil environment. The room is okay, I got a small ne but it was enough for me since I came as a solo. However, I don‘t understand why it was so hard to hail a tricycle going to this place, no matter how near it actually is. Even the tricycles from there won‘t pick you up even when it‘s not yet fully occupied. So far my stay was good. I was able to work in my room, I just wished they have something like a study table where guests who needs to work remotely can work. Also, it would be nice if you know how to drive a motorbike and hold a driver‘s license. Cause going to the places there back in forth can be really hard when commuting only, unlike when you can rent a motorbike, you can go anywhere, anytime without a hassle.
