Hotels near Island City Mall, Tagbilaran

We booked a Deluxe room, which at 36 square meters was the largest non-suite of our trip. Upon checkin, they wanted a 1K cash deposit so that we could charge things. They only gave us one card key, and said they couldn’t give us others that night since the hotel was full. When we went back to our room it was much warmer, since the power had been off. The next day we got another key. The room looked good at first. It had a room-service menu and Kleenex (actually harder, like small paper towels). The WiFi was strong, and worked with my Kindle, unlike most. We had various problems with the room, however. The safe was too small for a laptop, and didn’t even have batteries in it. The desk had a bad working position. The bed had only a blanket, not a sheet. The shower fan didn’t work; we told them about it on our first evening there, but they didn’t fix it while we were there. There was no hand towel, only a bath mat and shower towels. The shower could be better: the overhead rain head had low flow and the handheld one liked to fall down. It was hard to figure out how to turn off the some of the bathroom lights in Kew: I figured out that they’re under a water-protecting cover in the bathroom, separate from the main bathroom light switch, which was outside. They want you to put towels on the floor if they should be replaced, and a card on the pillow to replace linens. We saw a cockroach by the door when we came back to the room once, but managed to get him outside of the room. It was difficult to adjust the curtain, and the first night we didn’t close it completely so it was bright in the morning. There was a good bit of street noise on our top floor room. In the morning, we discovered that there’d been a window open since we arrived. After I closed it, there still seemed to be a good bit of street noise, and we discovered that the AC unit wasn't well sealed. One time they made up our room but took our shower towels; they quickly provided new ones when informed. The humidity was rather high unless we turned the temperature down to around 73F. The toilet tended to get clogged, and we had to ask a second time to get it unclogged. In August, 2022 their roof deck lounge wasn't operational after the December, 2021 typhoon, though they appeared to be fixing it. Their restaurant, Café Melecia, had an extensive dinner menu, and our dinner was quite good. We liked our enormous ”appetizer” of beef salpicao and leche flan, the adobong kangkong with lechon kawali not so much. They didn't have napkins on the table, so we had to request them. We didn't like their breakfast buffet as much as the other breakfast buffets we’d been to on this trip. They again didn’t have napkins. Getting there earlier helps for variety (our visits were a little after 9 AM versus a little after 9:30 AM). I liked their ham and cheese omelet, orange marmalade, and egg drop soup. We rated this about the middle of the hotels we stayed in on this trip, and second-best of the four ho

I have traveled all over the world and the Manager and other workers at Cesar's Place make this hotel my home away from home while in Bohol. They consistently go above and beyond what you would expect for service for such a reasonable price! They are not mind readers so occasionally if I have a special request I do have to ask but they are always very accommodating and super friendly. If you are traveling to Bohol contact them directly. They also have longer stays with and without breakfast. I have seen on some other booking sites they say some rooms are NO CHILDREN under 13 - but definitely contact the hotel directly as they said this was not really their policy.

This is definitely a secure hostel with keycard access to its entrance and to your room. Inside the room, there are lockers too but not all of them are usable. The hostel appears to be a conversion of someone's home, so there is a lounge and dining area for meeting other travellers and a really good kitchen. The 8 bed dorms must have been bedrooms with ensuite. However, that's the problem - if the room is fully occupied, then one ensuite (combined shower and toilet) means waiting. I don't mind waiting for s shower (and it has hot water no less), but waiting for the toilet is not fun. The other disadvantage of this hostel is its location - you must walk down to the main road to pick up any tricycle, habal-habal, taxi or jeepney to go to the city or port. There aren't any dining options near the hostel either but they do have groceries you can purchase if you want to do that. The free breakfast is coffee with toast & jam, bananas, nuts, oats and sultanas - you can have as much as you like, then wash up your dishes. The beds are comfy zones with privacy curtain, light, power outlet and 3 hooks for hanging you clothes. The room is of course air conditioned. The staff are lovely and organised a great day tour for me at an excellent price. If it wasn't for the location and shortage of toilets, I'd give this hostel 10/10.

This is the best place to stay in Bohol. Everything is superb specially the FRONT DESK guy who is very helpful and friendly and will taking care of you if anything you need. His like working in a five star hotel. The food preparation is superb. It’s very recommendable place to stay trust me. Will be going back there. We check in 8/8/22 and check out 8/10/22.

I am happy to have known Hotel Gabriella. I have had a wonderful experience staying in this hotel with my family. The food is very delicious, the interior is great, the pool is just right for my height hehe, the staff are very courteous and accomodating, the room is neat and tidy. It has tv, microwave oven, fridge, and most of all, a safety box for your important docs and stuff. To those who are planning to find a hotel that is affordable and classy, I hope you will include this hotel in your options.😊
