Palm Vivo Inn

Disappointingly dirty”

The Good: Location is walkable to many shops, restaurants, banks as it is in the center of the town. Room aircon is working. Staff are nice. The Bad: It is dirty. It was never clean even after guests are gone as we have seen some hairs, dusts and shoe markings, etc from the previous guests. Facilities are rundown. Although there is an aircondition, it was terribly noisy. We initially considered it because of its low price and eventually upgraded it with an aircondition - with additional price of course. Looking back, we could have added few hundreds of pesos to get a cleaner and far better place somewhere else around the area. The place needs a lot of TLC, otherwise, many potential guests will stay away.

Please CLEAN the CR very well”

I can accept if the room is not that good because of the price. But please clean the CR! A very personal and intimate place like that should be comfortable and not irritating. Please clean it.

Budget accommodations near the CBD”

Palm Vivo Inn was near the bus station and key central establishments. It took some 30 minutes from the inn to the airport on a taxi. The room we were assigned had cobwebs on the walls. The towels we were provided with were quite ratty. The airconditioning didn't seem to make the room cold, except in the wee hours of the morning when overall temperature drops anyway. Only encounter with staff was in the front desk.

For godness sake dont stay here”

On arrival it took 30mins to check in as there was no system to see who booked online. When I finally got to my room it wasn't clean and there was a dead cockroach in the corner. The bathroom was dirty and the location is in a dodgy neighbourhood. Do not book here

Cheap and good location”

It was ok considering the price. Easy access to restaurants.

Great location, ideal if you just sleep and go”

basic but cheap”

I was surprised how many Philippino couples believe in the relaxing power of 2 hour power naps ... (-:

Not suitable for families”

This hotel offers a two hour rate :/ as we checked in at 2am and old man and young girl checked out. Not suitable for young children. The fan room double featured a single bed with two pillows squeezed side by side - no way it was a double. We paid extra for the aircon room which meant it wasn't good value. WiFi only in lobby but strong connection there. Staff friendly.

ac better if colder”

Fine

Good budget hotel”

First, the good: The staff was very friendly and helpful. Although not easily accessible by jeepney, the location was within walking distance of McDonalds, Chowking, Biggs, a little mall, and more. I started in the budget room with only a fan and a bed. The wifi worked quite well in this room, but I got greedy and moved to the standard single room for the next 2 nights. The wifi signal was gone, but I got an aircon, TV, and private bathroom. Unfortunately, the aircon was not powerful enough to cool the room to my liking, and the TV only had local Tagalog channels. So, neither of the room options quite suited my fancy. The budget room would have been a great pit stop for a single night in the city, but not for a longer stay.

They could do better”

I suppose because the room was cheap, we got what we paid for. But no matter how cheap, I don't believe it justifies being booked into a room with a dysfunctional doorknob. You get a room for its privacy and security and a room that can be opened by the staff with a card because, allegedly, the previous occupants forgot to return the key, should not be given to the next occupant without first fixing the problem. They said they would have the key duplicated but they ended up changing the doorknob altogether and it took them more than a whole day to do this. We slept in there without a key of our own and knowing that anyone can just swipe a card into the side of the knob and enter while we slept. The faucets were broken. I would not complain about the unavailability of hot and cold shower, but I was disappointed. They promised complimentary internet (but the signal could not reach the room). If you just need a place to drop your bags and sleep for the night, I suppose this hotel would do. But I think, the lost key and the broken doorknob issue is unforgivable.

Budget Hotel”

The hotel is good for travelers on a budget. Public transportation is easily accessed outside. One con is the comfort room stinks (for the room we stayed).

Not Bad for its Price”

It was Good. I was out most of the time so I just needed a good place to sleep. A/C was cold, bed was clean. Towels are fresh. Room was clean. The faucets are my issue, the one in the sink was not properly installed (loose) the one in the bathroom has a broken handle (needed to use a cloth to properly turn on/off) Water was too cold (no H/C) but not a problem for its room price. I just didn't expect it. I traveled with my 1 year old kid, so I badly needed a warm water for her to use. The whole experience was Okay. The Staff were helpful and friendly. We were able to meet the friendly owner of this Inn.

Nice location, friendly staff”

Correcto”

Muy buena atencion por parte de los trabajadores, la unica queja es que la almohada era muy dura lo demas perfecto!

Chambre infectes, personnel non anglophone, pas d'eau chaude dans tout le bâtiment.”

Pas d'avantages, que des inconvénients, ce ne devrait pas être considéré comme un accueil d'hébergement, j'ai failli oublier les insectes dans les chambres ainsi que l'odeur nauséabonde de sueur et de rance. Pas de wifi, pas de restauration. Nous avons l'habitude de voyager et ne sommes pas exigeant mais nos limites ont vite été franchies. À retirer rapidement de vos tablettes. Heureusement que nous avons vite réagi. La publicité et les photos sont fausses donc acte volontaire de tromperie. Ce n'est pas l'habitude des Philippins.

très bien

You get what you pay for - es war absolut o.k. ”

Die Lage ist sehr gut, denn es liegt direkt am Rand des Zentrums, ist jedoch nicht laut. Das Personal an der Rezeption ist wohl das freundlichste, was ich auf meinen vielen Reisen gesehen habe. das WiFi ging auch in unserem Zimmer bei guter Signalstärke. Das Zimmer war im Preis-Leistungsverhältnis o.k. (wir zahlten 500 Peso für ein Doppelzimmer mit Fan - Bad und Toilette draußen). Wir würden wieder dorthin gehen, außer das 2 Jahre alte Hostel wird wie leider bisher ein wenig vernachlässigt.

位置不错，在中心，价格也便宜”
