Best Hotel in Calbayog”
the ciriaco hotel is by far the nicest place to stay anywhere near calbayog. the rooms are spacious and clean, the staff is very friendly and accomodating, and the food is much better than i expected. there is also a free shuttle to/from town with a posted schedule, but they dont alway stick to it. the only down side is that the pool and spa area is still under construction and will not be finished anytime soon. progress is slow and it is still mostly a big dirt lot. i would expect completion sometime early 2013. i started off on the 2nd floor, but there is live music in the restaurant almost every night until 11:00pm and it was too noisey, so i moved up to the 4th floor where it was much quieter. they advertise wifi in all the rooms, but it is very weak or non exhistant in some rooms far from the router. there are still a few details where they can improve the rooms and service at ciriaco, but they are very eager to please and i think this hotel will only improve in the future. looking forward to the completion of the swimming pool.

Nice hotel in Calbayog City still being renovated”
We spent five days at the Ciriaco Hotel in October 2012. The service, rooms and restaurant were all of good quality as was the free shuttle service. They need to finish there renovations (outdoor bar, pool area, gym etc) before you could call the Hotel a genuine 4 star establishment. Still by far the best option in Calbayog City or probably Samar!

The Best in Calbayog!”
We have been visiting Calbayog for the past 24 years, and have stayed in most of the hotels and resorts in the area. Ciriaco is easily the nicest hotel property in the area. We stayed in the Deluxe Garden Villa for 11 nights. The room was pricey for Calbayog, but you get what you pay for. The room was much nicer and larger than the limited pictures on Agoda showed. The bed was very comfortable. There was coffee and tea, a small refrigerator, a safe, and a closet. Great selection of TV channels. The internet was reliable and FAST for Calbayog; usually 50 mb/s connection in my room. The bathroom was huge. Large walk-in rain shower and separate toilet stall. Large American-sized bathtub. The hot water was perfect and steady. It was very quiet in this room; never any distractions. The room was cleaned spotless every day and always stocked with complimentary bottled water. Overall, this was worth every bit of $116 USD per night. I wish I could post my own pictures on here.

Still the only place to stay Calbayog”
Hotel could use some improvements lately, I have stayed many times and wear and tear is becoming more apparent. The wifi is very slow when working and spotty at best. The availability of menu items and quality of food needs improvement, always out of many items on the short menu. Staff is wonderful but resources are limited. I would consider Ciriaco Hotel the only good place to stay in Calbayog City and will be back. Thanks to the staff, Ciriaco is still the best place to stay.

Fantastic place, very warm hospitality, great people”
The best place to stay in Calbayog. You get an airport transfer for free, a shuttle to the city for free (every time), a free Calbayognon buffet breakfast, among others. The place is nice and exceptionally clean. In addition, the hotel staff are very friendly and accommodating. If you’re staying in Calbayog either for business or pleasure, Ciriaco is the best place out there. Highly recommended.

Best place to stay in Calbayog”
I have stayed at Ciriaco about 14 nights total in 2 visits to this area. The staff is what makes Ciriaco a nice cel place to stay. Food is so so, menu is limited and supplier inconsistent with delivery. The rooms are nice, water supply can be an issue at times but I would still says this is the place to stay if you are going to Calbayog. Again the staff is what makes them a four star Hotel. I am anxious for addition to be completed. Thank you to all the staff that make Ciriaco what it is.

Great stay ”
Pros; Clean room, with plenty of space; Shower was in good working condition with hot and cold water; WiFi in room; Safety deposit box available in room;Food was ok; Friendly and hardworking staff Cons: Tried ordering wine and with a long list of wine choices, the only one they had available was some white wine and a local wine., but not a big deal, I still enjoy staying at Ciriaco and will continue to stay here when I visit Calbayog. Shuttle service was available but I found it to be pricey.

Very spacious, reasonable price, good service”
this is a very pleasant hotel. the grounds are still in the process of being fully developed but the rooms are spacious and clean with very comfortable beds. the pool seems to be finished and it is very classy and unique- you can view the ocean from the pool. i look forward to visiting again to see the progress. the service is excellent with very kind and attentive staff. we hadn't even told them when were arriving at the airport (or where for that matter) but they were waiting at the airport at 6am with a placard that contained my name. i was impressed. and the shuttle service to the calbayog airport is free. this hotel is owned by a local filipino, not a big corporation. i like the idea of supporting the local community. the price is very reasonable and the food in the hotel is good and reasonably priced.

Nice Hotel”
The nicest hotel in Calbayog by far, but expensive. Further, hotel not finished. The Pool and area behind the hotel still a work in process. Restaurant at the hotel was also very expensive, but eating options in Calbayog are limited to say the least. The staff at the hotel was accommodating, but you have to make your own arrangements for any tours. There was not a "welcome" tone by many of the locals and down right insults and "the bird" being flipped only because I am an american. Definitly an area I will not travel back to in Philippines . . . . further the caves and waterfalls in North Samar are overrated and the north islands, although I found beautiful, were a pain to get to and transportation for a foreign was nothing more than an opportunity for the locals to rip you off, even though I knew prices and routes.

Best hotel available in the area with a great pool”
I've stayed at the Ciriaco a number of times and I am always satisfied. The pool area is fantastic but the pool temperature is a bit too warm for my taste. I went there with my wife and her family and they really loved the pool. Great for nighttime swimming. The facilities are nice, but beginning to show the lack of maintenance typical with non-big-name hotels in the Philippines. The staff is a bit undertrained but they are eager to please and can usually help me with what I need if I am just patient. The restaurant food is quite good and the prices are reasonable for hotel food. The breakfast buffet is just so-so, but they can make you an omelet. They have live music just about every night and the bands are pretty good. If you like it quiet then I recommend the 3rd or 4th floors or you may be bothered by the music at night. Overall, the Ciriaco is an excellent value and the best place to stay in Calbayog.

Best choice in Calbayog”
I have stayed at Ciriaco Hotel a number of time now. It is nothing special but the best hotel in Calbayog so recommended. The hotel is starting to look a bit tired and one can see cost saving measures (eg. only 1 toilet roll in room, no bathroom floor matt) implemented but the room price remains high.

An unexpected gem”
Wow, I really never expected to find such a gem of a hotel in a city such as Calbayog. It really wouldn't take too many changes to make this hotel 5 star. I initially stayed in a "City View" room but changed to a "Sea View" room not long after I moved in, I'm so glad that I did, the ocean views are fantastic. The hotel if beautiful, very well designed and kept immaculately clean. The 2 rooms that I stayed in were fantastic, very well designed and furnished, very spacious, and extremely clean. The beds are extremely comfortable and the linen is crisp and fresh. The restaurant serves some incredible food, as long as you stick to what they do best, Asian style cooking. Most of the food in the restaurant is fantastic, some of the dishes I have NEVER had better. However some of their attempts at western cooking fail completely. Their attempt at a cheese burger and chips would have to be the worst I have ever had. The number 1 asset of this hotel would have to be the staff. From the front desk, to the restaurant, to housekeeping and even the laundry staff are fantastic. So warm, friendly and accommodating. With out a doubt there are a few of them that could easily get a job at any of the worlds greatest hotels and resorts. The staff at this hotel are the number 1 reason that I will come back again and again at any opportunity that I get. The hotel isn't completely finished, there is still some construction going on at the back around the pool. The day spa is yet to be constructed. But that wasn't too much of a problem, though I do look forward to staying here when it is full finished.

Still better than other Calbayog options”
This hotel is showing its age a little, but they are making renovations. It is still the best place to stay in Calbayog City. The rooms are very spacious, so you don't feel crowded at all. Staff is excellent, very helpful and courteous. The breakfast does not offer as many options as it used to, but there is enough for a westerner to eat.

Up and running”
It is quite a surprise to find this hotel in the port city of Calbayog. I first stayed here a year ago shortly after the hotel opened and at that time you could say they were still finding their feet. Now a year later they are up and running. Front desk are very impressive, Honey in particular could take a job in any major hotel in the world. The wait staff in the restaurant are excellent, a little patience is needed with english sometimes. The food quality seems to vary a bit.The breakfast buffet appears limited to a Filipino breakfast but just ask and a complimentary ( If included in the room rate) menu with American breakfasts is also available. Expresso coffee is extra. If you are drinking wine with a meal the list is limited and you should buy by the bottle as there is no concept of proper storage of opened bottles. There seems to be live entertainment every night, unfortunately some of the entertainers are of the louder the better type, but last Saturday a fabulous quartette, two girl singers and two fellas singing and playing kept us there until late,a pleasant evening. The cheaper rooms are touch on the small size except for room 410, which I try and get when I stay.Beware room 208 is a wifi black spot.These are not ocean view rooms. The ocean view rooms have balconies looking out over the gardens (still under construction) to the ocean and the islands in the distance. The beds are comfortable and have good linen. House keeping sometimes need a bit of a hurry up. The pool is finally open, although building works are still going on around it. It is quite large but not very deep, an adult can stand head above the water anywhere in the pool, a children's pool is still to be constructed, although there is a good size shallow area at the edge of the main pool. A complimentary van service is available to run you into town on the hour.

Stunning sea views!”
A high end hotel in Calbayog. Would recommend very much a sea view room on the 4th floor. Amazing sunrise and sunset! The staff are warm and friendly, they couldn’t do enough more to make our stay comfortable. We will be back!

Great Hotel in Calbayog”
In my opinion, the only hotel in Calbayog. The hotel is great, has the occasional maintenance issue but the staff is really friendly, always remembers me when I come there and the breakfast is always good. The views are amazing and the pool is relaxing.
