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.

6/10 Good

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.
