Nice Place”

For me it was still a good location, good value for money, clean rooms and helpful staff my only concern was the water, we have hard time taking a bath since the water in the faucet and shower was too little we are in room F30 by the way and it is located in 3rd floor. But over all I still want to stay here again if ever I’ll visit Davao again... Nice art collection too...

Excellent value for money”

The room was comfortable and very clean, with a decently-sized bathroom. Was only mildly disappointed by a sudden drop in water pressure on my last day, which meant the shower heater wouldn't work. Otherwise, staff was great and I wasn't even charged a late checkout fee after 2 hours.

Gets most of the basics right, but needs improvement with some issues.”

This is actually in Ponce Suites hotel located in quiet subdivision, so I had a peaceful stay - not much tourists about. The room was bigger than I expected which was nice. Air conditioning worked as expected and a comfortable bed. The hotel property is quite old, and unfortunately they seemed to have some issues with running water (no water coming out of the shower at one point). It was inconvenient for me to go down from the 3rd floor to bring up the issue with reception. They were attentive enough to turn it on so I assume it had some sort of maintenance schedule? They could have at least informed guests about that ahead of time.

Not bad for a 1 day stay”

Pros: budget friendly hotel Very kind and approachable owner Quiet place artistic interior Cons: Poor internet conection, u have to go out of your room to have a better conection. Room is (poorly)warmly lit. You need to open all the lights if you want to read a book. Location is inside the village. but Just a 4 to 5 minutes walk to the highway. Bonus: the owner is the mother of davao's renowed artist. Kublai. His works of art is exhibited in the hallway of the hotel where u can view it for free!

Suites the price.”

They should have a housekeeper even during late hours. They did not make up my room on the 2nd day of our stay when i asked them to, kase nga late na daw at wala nang housekeeping. I actually called their contact numbers to remind them but no one is answering. Tsaka kung sumagot yung GIRL receptionist mukhang kasalanan ko pa. Okay nalang sana yung concern ko kaso nairita ako sa ugali ng receptionist. Sana ayusin nya pagsagot sa mga guests next time so they will plan to book again.
