Ilocos Sur Hotels with Bars

it was raining hard when we reached this place and the parking area was starting to get flooded. there was no staff to welcome the guests or offer umbrellas to shield us from the downpour. the hotel is not within the city of vigan. we were ushered to our room by one hotel helper who assisted us with our luggages. courteous and jolly guy. food was typically done the ilocano way. i'm used to the taste and the way it was presented. what i'm very particular about was the repetitive banana being offered for dessert, either boiled, caramelised or served very ripe. our towels were never replaced for the 4D/3N we stayed. they just assumed we didn't care since we didn't bother to request for a new set. the telephone in our room has no dial tone. the bathroom exudes an unpleasant smell at a particular hour at night. but overall, we felt welcomed as we stayed longer. we were allowed beyond the time to continue with our socials. the staff just let us be while singing our hearts out. they were very kind and understanding when we ask for small favors from time to time. might stay here again next time.

The location is excellent. And the place is nice. Only that we were already accomodated at the annex. So we have to walk a little to the Annex building. The annex building is good but I can notice that that floor and stairs wasn't waxed for quite a time already. And furnitures and CR are already dusty. The Room for family is nice only that it doesn't have a CR. You have to go out everytime you need to go to the CR.

I stayed at Le Dream Hotel when it was first open. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They made sure to cater to my every needs. The rooms were very luxurious and comfortable and the air conditioning was heavenly in the Philippines hot weather. Also, super comfortable pillows and blankets! Lastly, the food and drinks were amazing and super fresh. Would definitely recommend going here for your next Vigan stay!

The best thing about the hotel is its serenity and long distance from the bustle of the nearby Vigan. The staff are courteous, always wearing smile, and helpful. The plated breakfast is fine. You can see the nearby beach from where the restaurant is. But when I was there, the alfresco rooftop area was closed. It is not the nearest hotel to the beach. You have to walk for 10minutes to get to the beach. The plus point is its hotel. It’s located adjacent to the house of the owner but the staff explained to me that it’s fine to use it because it’s one of the amenities of the hotel. The downside is the transportation from Vigan. If you do not have a car, you are left with the tricycles. The drivers are not the most honest about the fare. When you ask them, they will tell you as low as 100pesos to as high as 150pesos. So be mindful. Better ask the driver before you take the ride. I can recommend it to friends and families with cars but not fellow backpackers and solo travelers without a car.

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.

Nice location and the staffs are accomodating. This is my first solo travel and I enjoyed it. I only stayed for 1 night but I was able to visit the famous calle crisologo.Tried the foot long size empanada of Casa Jardin. Rode the calesa and had a short tour of the historic places in Vigan. Manong driver was even extra kind to take me to the direct maker of bagnet Irma's. I was also able to go to Baluarte and had so much fun ! Thanks to ate who's always had a smiling face and very attentive to customer's needs. I was not able to get her name. 😅From the time I arrived she helped me bring my things in my room. She even opened the door for me when I came back after buying lots of pasalubong. 😁 Will definitely go back!😊👌

Will definitely come back soon!

This is the first and only museum hotel in the Philippines and it was just an amazing experience. The staff are were welcoming, the location is perfect, right around the corner from Calle Crisologo. There is a swimming pool in the centre of the hotel, but unfortunately we had bad weather during our stay and couldn’t enjoy it. The room is spacious and comfortable, and breakfast is served in “a la carte” style, instead of a buffet. Everything was just very enjoyable and Vigan is a must for visitors in the Philippines!

Great Place to stay when traveling in Vigan, particularly at Calle Crisologo. Comfortable dining area and inviting ambience. The Staffs are very helpful. Serves authentic Ilocano foods for breakfast. Will be coming back soon to this very historic place.
