Breakfast, which was included in the room rate, was excellent. There were a lot of choices, with many native delicacies, and the food was delicious.

This would be a 3.5 star hotel in North America (just for some context). Decent location. I dont think any hotel in Dumaguete is quiet. Good restaurant and friendly staff.

Breakfast service is good especially the servers. Food is standard - variety of egg preparation - omelet and hardboiled, then mix of corned beef, hotdogs/sausages bread with spreads (butter, fruit jams). coffee is available. Dining area is so crowed on the days i stayed because the guests who were attending conference, students on tour are mixed to the regular visitors/tourists that at some point, you cannot anymore find seats. Guests who are in group - students on tour, guests on corporate meetings/conferences should have a separate breakfast area. dining early becomes very noisy because of them.

Nice clean rooms The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was good. I stayed in two different rooms. First I was in the suite which was fabulous. Very nice immunities and very comfortable. Next I was in a deluxe room which was average. The hot water in the room would cycle on and off several times during a shower. Also I was in a corner room and the wifi was not available in the room. I asked at the front desk and they said they would fix it but never did.

The best selling point is the staff - very respectful, attentive and will provide service above and beyond. Room - provided with daily cleaning but I had mites bite and ended up seeing a dermatologist for treatment. Wifi was the biggest problem - no access the entire stay and I was told that there are too many users that slows down the service- this has to be improved especially there are frequent conferences and events held in the hotel. Loud noise - the room is not soundproofed, I heard people talking along the hallway and even those in their respective rooms. The street noise can be heard , Events were done in an open space on the second floor, so loud it can be heard in the room Breakfast - food is good but heavy on Filipino dishes, need options like cereal, pancakes or doughnuts.
