Location is accessible. The only drawback for folks driving their cars is that the road leading to the property is narrow.

It was excellent”
We came across Balai Tinay from Agoda when we searched for a good place to stay that is worth our money. Balai Tinay was homey and cozy as well. The reception or common area had several couches and tables, a number of ceiling and stand fans and a dining table. There was hot and cold water to drink and you can make coffee, tea or milo anytime you want. The breakfast included was good as well. They have eggs, kamote fries, pancit, wheat bread, rice, dried fish and chopseuy. Kuya Gerson the caretaker was accommodating and warm. He entertained our questions and spent time with us when he was not busy. He was very friendly and knew so many places that we could visit. The owner, Sir Jomar, was friendly and accommodating as well. He entertained the guests when he was not busy. The room was clean and the sheets and curtains were colorful, giving the room a lively feel. The aircon, hot/cold shower and tv were working properly. The place was situated in a street where you won't hear the busyness of the area nor the music coming from a nearby ktv. It was truly worth our money. We will stay there again when we go to Legazpi with other friends.

Fantastic hospitality!!”
I was there in February with 3 other contestants of the Xterra Albay Cross Triathlon. Balai Tinay is excellently located within walking distance to our bike shop & restaurants in the Rizal Street and to the convention center, the Astrodome. The airport is quite near (50 Pp.with a trike) also. The hotel is quite small with only 5 rooms (all w/private bathrooms) to my knowledge. This is a definite plus. Not only have you your privacy, but, if you choose, also easy contact to the other guests. The best is the owner, Joe & his wife. He helped us in every possible way, even serving us a hot breakfast at 5 AM on race day. He was so proud of his 3 1st place winners that we named our group Team Balai Tinay and have vowed to come again next year. By the way, my bed had the best mattress (firm but not rock-hard) of any hotel that I have experienced. The room was small, but the lobby is quite large, meant as a lounging and dining area for the guests, with a communal kitchen at the rear. I would only stay here while in Legaspi. Thanks so much !!!

Felt like home.”
Balai Tinay served as my base while I went around Legazpi City and nearby places in early June. The place felt like home to me, not only because it was part of a house (the owners lived upstairs) but also because the owners were very welcoming. We had a long conversation over breakfast the first morning I was there. The room I had was clean, the mattress was firm, and the air conditioner was not noisy, so I had a nice sleep. If I get the chance to visit Legazpi again, I would stay at Balai Tinay again.

Best guest house in Philippines!”
Bicol is a great city with a lot of history, but the best impression that we've got from our trip to Bicol is actually the stay at Balai Tinay hotel. Me, my friends and family were traveling around Philippines last summer and we got to experience all kinds of accommodations during our trip, but once we got to Balai Tinay guest house we felt like we have arrived home. The owner of this place will make sure that you get your favorite food for breakfast, best tour guid for the city tours, great mood during your stay and cold beer in a fridge. I HIGHLY recommend everyone who travels to Bicol to stay at Balai Tinay!

Exceptional”
Jerson, Balai Tinai's asst to the owner is very helpful. He suggested places I can see that is popular to the locals. Really appreciated it. Jerson is also personable and helpful, I stayed at the attic, as per request because there is a lounge that has a full view of Mt Mayon right outside the room. The room is spacious and clean. Bathroom is not ensuite but was not shared to other guests either Balai Tinai serves simple breakfast and coffee. They also has free clean water for guests. The dining room is my favorite space at Balai Tinai. Here are free to eat their meals and at breakfast, i find i met other guests here. They did not gonout foor breakfast hence, it encourages socialization among other guests. Owner Joe is friendly

Excellent Value for your Money”
Although Balai Tinay is a transient home. You will feel that you are in deed at home. With the excellent and friendly owners and staff. Location wise - since it is in Centro everything that you need is just a walking distance away. Restaurants like Biggs, Yellow Cab, Everything Breakfast, Palamigan, Jollibee, Mc Do, Chowking etc. It is also near Robinson's supermarket. Although the room that we stayed has a bad reception for Globe users all in all this is a great value for your money. I will surely recommend Balai tinay and will definitely come back to the place.

It's my new home away from home!”
I'd always consider myself looking for having stumbled upon Balai Tinay. I haven't heard of it before even though I'm practically living in a nearby city. I'm glad I did find reviews about it when I was looking for a place where I can stay to have a few days off from work. The place is cozy and warm, and you wouldn't even feel like you're not in your own home. Balai Tinay is wonderfully quaint, with accommodating staff and owner. I will surely be back here soon! Kudos!

Quiet, peaceful and rrelaxing”
Thanks to Joe, the Balai Owner, my stay was most memorable for the gracious hospitality afforded me while staying at Balai Tinay. Joe went above and beyond the typical balai owner by making 'his home my home'. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphereat the Balai and will personally only stay there whenever I travel to Legazpi City again. I only hope it's soon!

Homey and comfortable - Even the kids loved their stay! ”
Balai Tinay is home away from home! It is a 5 min walk to the main street (Rizal St) where you could catch public transpo and choose from several options of supermarkets and restaurants. Buffet breakfast is available with a decent selection of 2-3 dishes, with rice and bread available as part of the meal. Unlimited coffee and tea is available all day long. Wifi is available. The staff is also friendly and very attentive. Thank you Balai Tinay :)

I really enjoyed my stay in Balai Tinay. I l always look forward for their breakfast every morning. Haha.. It's near Rizal Ave so it's accessible very accessible. The owners were welcoming and warm and Kuya Jerson was very helpful and knowledgeable on where and how to go to places in Legazpi. I will definitely stay here again when I go back.

Excellent Hostel!!!”
We arrived before noon and was greeted with smile by the staff (forgot his name). He pleasantly asked us if we want double or twin bed, we opted for double. He then showed us our room and informed us with some house rules and also the direction going to the highway. I didn't expect much about breakfast but he served us with yummy pork tapa with egg. We were so full. He also let us borrow one of the umbrellas as it is about to rain. Overall, this is perhaps the best hostel I've ever been to, not to mention that the rates are very cheap. I think the best thing about this hostel is the location. There is a robinson's supermarket about 3min walk from the gate. Two thumbs up for Balai Tinay Hostel. Highly recommended!! :)

Homey Vibe!”
Balai Tinay is not exactly a Hotel but more of a Pension House, but a very GOOD one! The staff are very accommodating and courteous! The rooms are amply sized and clean (they provide towels, soap, bathroom tissues, & they have heated shower). Food, do not expect too much, they do not have a lot of choices, but you can request something to be cooked for you and they are very much reasonably priced too! Coffee was free when we were there. There is a common area outside that is so nice to "tambay" to after a long day of being out, the small fountain at the corner gives you a sort of relaxing feel. They have free Wi-Fi too. From the airport Balai Tinay is just probably less than 15 minutes away by motorcycle cabs, just say that it is in Gapo, Washington. It is not exactly on the main road, but it is just a few minutes walk, or ride bicycle cabs to the main street.
