Hotels near Sorsogon Provincial Museum and Heritage Center, Sorsogon City

Great location, short walking distance to SM Sorsogon.

The Hotel St. Ellis has the best breakfast buffet I've found anywhere, compared to at least a dozen hotels in the U.S. It also has a small but wonderful swimming pool, very good service, and a terrific shower. The biggest negative is that it provides absolutely no written instructions for operating the air conditioning, the TV, the Wifi, and the lights. It provides just one room key, no matter how many people are staying in the room. The air conditioning goes off at night, and can be restarted only by standing on a chair and pressing the button, but they don't tell you that. My wife and I suffered from overheating on the first night. Operating the TV requires pressing 2 or 3 buttons. The room has a power key -- a plastic card that must be inserted on a slot to get any electricity. I had to ask a staff member to connect by phone by WiFi on the ground floor and again on the 3rd floor, because they have 2 different systems. It took my wife and me a full day to figure everything out. The other family members, in another room, never did figure out the air conditioning, and suffered through all 3 nights. It would take the hotel staff less than an hour to write out all these instructions on a single page and print a copy for each room, but they don't bother. If they did, I would give the hotel 4 and a half stars. Other members of my family were so confused by the lack of instructions that they gave the hotel just 3 stars. Their other complaint was that the walls on the stairway are in serious need of painting and repair, but this didn't really bother me. Please, Hotel St. Ellis: get off your butts and write out the instructions!

Took a 2 day break to see Mayon Volcano and booked a 2 night stay here. It is right smack in the middle of Legazpi Ciry. The rooms- clean, comfortable beds, nice pillows, clean sheets, basic bathroom amenities, hot and cold shower with very good water pressure, bidet, fluffy towels and there's also hand towels. Complimentary coffee and water. We stayed in a room away from the street so it's pretty quiet too. The staff- young, friendly and helpful. They can use a little more knowledge on the things to do around legazpi and albay province. Breakfast- the room came with a free buffet breakfast. The selection is what you can expect from this price point, mostly local food like dried fish, smoked fish and vegetables. Coffee is freshly brewed with choices of breads and cereals. Overall, we like this place and would recommend it based on our personal experience.

The day of my arrival, the hotel staff texted me asking my arrival time. I told them the scheduled time of my flight's arrival. Response was ”ok”. What they didn't tell me is that the front desk closes at the end of the business day. So, I arrived by taxi about 8 pm. The driver pointed me to a dimly lit stairway...it's the gray tiled stairway behind the double glass doors next to the massage spa. There are NO SIGNS out front saying that there is a hotel in the building. There is no sign on the door saying that this is the door to the hotel. There is no sign saying that the hotel starts on the second floor (where the front desk is closed and dark.) So I texted the number that contacted me earlier and about five minute later someone showed up with my key for my room (#5) on the third floor. (There is no elevator. No bellman to carry your luggage.) My room had no windows. Not even a tiny one in the bathroom. No telephone, which makes sense because the front office is closed more often than not. Vent fan was noisy. Aircon worked very well, though, which was nice. TV cable was fuzzy, but watchable. There is a refridgerator that doesn't get very cold. Internet was adequate, but would not win any races. They provde a dispenser in the shower with three choices, two of which were empty, but there appeared to be a few drips of shampoo available (I alwasy travel with my own bar of soap for just places like this who can be bothered to check that their rooms are stocked before they rent them.) Shower was marginal...low pressure and the shower head was too big for the low pressure. They did have a hand-held spray nozzle for the toilet, which is always nice. I stayed 4 nights, three of which were quite peaceful. No windows means no traffic noise although the hotel is not on a high traffic street anyway. I think there were no other guests in the two other rooms on my floor until my last night when folks moved next door and loudly opened and closed their door every ten or fifteen minutes (probably a smoker going out.) No phone to call closed office to ask them to be aware that they are not the center of the universe. I was ready to use this hotel on my next visit until the noisy last night. Time to look for someplace else. One very nice thing....the hotel is just adjacent to the Metro Mall, also called the Pacific Mall, also called Gaisano Mall (and it actually has another name, too, but I didn't quite catch that one.)

The clean rooms and friendly staff made for a comfortable stay. There is a night market nearby, so you won't have any trouble finding food and drink. The rooms are spacious and provided with linens, and the showers have good hot water. There is no bottled water, but there is a water dispenser so you won't have any trouble getting drinking water.

The hotel is in a good location, just next to SM, walk for a few minutes, go to other shopping malls, there are other shopping malls in the Pacific Ocean, and they are very close. It's a walk away. The tutu is 80 pesos, and the security guard at the door calls 150 pesos. The general environment of the hotel is just for the transition. There is a free shuttle bus to the airport. You can make an appointment in advance and it will be 10 minutes away. Several pharmacies nearby are very convenient to buy masks and disinfectants. There are few Chinese here and no one grabs them. There are many meals in SM, so it is easy to eat there on foot. Breakfast in the hotel, one day buffet, one day set meals, nothing to eat, very simple. On the whole, the service is good, there are many younger brothers, they are all mature, and they feel safe.

We reserved for an overnight stay and here are some points good/average/not so good (I won't say bad because their hotel is new and tourism, hotels are just getting back on their feet from pandemic) The rates: 3,500 for a room What's in the room: 2 queen size bed 👍👍👍 Area is ample for the room 👍👍👍 The Furniture - one hanging desk for your personal stuff and can be used as desk for working using laptops But I think it's not yet fully completed because the outlet is not easily accessible (please provide grommet at the desk for outlet socket access) Kettle is plugged either on the side table or inside the bathroom lavatory counter. -No small fridge (which a 3,500 room rate should have) - Wardrobe open cabinet is nice - space for shoes is okay too! -one bedside table with drawer -rack for luggage -TV and heater (but ours was currently not working so 😩 nah for me) bathroom: a bit tight, shower should be located where the lavatory counter is, and lavatory counter should be at the location of the shower... With Bidet, trash in, tissue, big mirror, spacious lavatory counter, the glass partition should be check, purposed of preventing the water splashing all over the bathroom is not achieved. Please add robe hooks 😊 Complimentaries: toothbrush, toothpaste, soap and refillable pump shampoos and conditioner 👍👍👍👍👍 sachets of tea, coffee, sugar, creamer and 2 bottled water Cleanliness: 1 to 10. I give 8 ❤️. Amenities Pool, Cafe, open bar (the bar code) Wide parking spaces Spa and massage rooms Service Guards are polite and gives good assistance especially to pwd's My mom is well assisted. Crew: They are limited but so far needs extra effort when in greeting guests. The tone of greetings and smiling eyes are good impressions for guests. Service - we asked for the luggage cart and it took 20 mins to arrive when we are about to check out. We asked for extra pillow around 5:30pm and it was not provided, we left the room for dinner arrived 10pm And asked again for the pillow. 15mins then it was delivered. Food : complimentary breakfast Is good. With coffee too ❤️ We haven't ordered other in their menu So I can't rate much for the food. Ambience - nice and clean, Bravo! for the stairs, you will never get tiring going up nor down. Elevator is okay to!!! Overall - it's an average stay but with potential to be awesome. And probably next visit would be much better. Looking forward to PROXY BY the Oriental Hotel!!!

This small hotel offers basic accommodation and has very limited amenities. Nothing luxurious. AC rooms with toilet and shower, hot and cold water, basic toiletries, but no elevator, spa, swimming pool, etc. Its price is quite high considering its lack of amenities. Standard room (single occupancy) costs Php 2,000 a night. Very limited parking slots. However, its location is good ... just a few meters away from the main road, the cathedral, the municipal hall, and so forth.
