Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Staff was courteous, and housekeeping service were courteous. Guests can be very loud at night, but that's not the fault of the hotel. However, I couldn't believe that they wanted 350.00 pesos from me for arriving 3 hours early even though there was a room available. I twas outrageous. I travel a lot to many parts in the world and not a single hotel had charge me extra for checking in early.
Enjoyed our stay,clean room,worth for the price,friendly staff and atmosphere.I love the food for breakfast,variety of choice and options.Surely recommend the restaurant,hotel.
I liked it’s proximity to the mall. Nice little 10 minute walk. The included breakfast was amazing! Staff treated me like an honorable guest. Very friendly. My four nights went by far too quickly.
Staff was very professional. The food in the cafe is excellent, well portioned and very affordable compare to the boardwalk restaurants.

Internet service was not up to expectations. Lots of buffering when watching streaming video. Bed was worn out being extremely soft which was not good for my back. Overall a good value.

Property is quite old and units interior are old school and not so well maintained. Staff are friendly and helpful. The only thing which is of my concern is that my daughter had some bites on her legs and i suspected that its bed bugs. This should be look upon that it might be a cause serious illnesses to their guests.
Walking distance to the Boulevard and port. Breakfast was nice and the room was clean. However, the water heater does not work and we have to shower cold.

Average at best.
I arrived at 10:30am. They would not wave the early check in fee. Earliest I could check in was 1:00pm. No manager available to discuss. Air conditioner was dripping on to the corner of one of the beds. Reported it. They put a towel down but did not fix. Breakfast Buffett was terrible. Limited selection. Location is good.

Great customer service. I would suggest that the hotel should provide at least free pickup and drop off to the port/pier on a scheduled basis.
The Hotel Essencia is the best place to stay in downtown Dumaguete which puts you within walking distance of the stores and restaurants. The prices are reasonable for a hotel like this. The restaurant is acceptable.

Nothing special. It’s an average place to stay. The room I’m in the window was facing the not pleasant to look at. Haha
