First off, the room we finally settled in after switching from one room to another, had a trash can full of smelly trash. The bathroom (which everyone calls CR) smells like sewer, shower had holes in the wall, water pressure and temp gradually builds slowly into a trickle. With broken windows, we have to deal with noise especially with other guess who decided to carry on like hyenas one night, and allowed mosquitoes and other bugs into the room. This is the worst hotel we ever stayed at.

Nicer than expected!
Stayed for the Ati-Atihan festivities, location was 30min walk from the festive but easily accessible via tricycle. Great location, close to the airport, the hotel room itself was nice and the staff were so friendly.

Value for Money
Good business hotel, very professional and attentive staff. However, I was disappointed with the bathroom because there was a big spider in the shower area, and the sink had small spiders too. The aircon was set at too low a temperature, and the blanket provided was too thin for the cold temperature of the room.

Nice Hotel
Nice clean hotel. No free breakfast so need to go to nearby Chowking. Food is expensive at the hotel so don't bother. Only one restaurant nearby but its outdoors although set back from the road. In walking distance. Live band at night so its not quiet. Bed was comfortable and shower good.

Very good budget hotel in a good location
This is a great little hotel situated about 1.5 miles from the airport in kalibo town, it's got all that a person requires for their day to day needs. The hotel room fall within he budget range and worth the 1000 / 1200 peso asking price and the reception staff are exceptional friends and go out of there way to assist you. If you require cash, there is an cash machine right next to the hotel. The hotel beds are very comfortable and the deco of the rooms are of reasonable standards. It's worth staying here if you got an early flight back to Manila in the morning. I recommend this hotel to everyone. "Bare in mind, it's a budget hotel and not a 5* hotel"

Stopover going to Boracay.
We used the hotel for a brief stopover before travelling to Boracay. The Hotel was ok but a bit basic. Staff were helpful and the hotel located near to V-hire station. We did however have some guy installing scaffolding literally outside our window at 7am. We were at a loss to explain why, but we did not complain as it was not really the hotels fault. Overall we left here refreshed and happy.

Fair stay while travelling to Boracay
After 3 hour delay we landed in Kalibo around midnight, been able to immediately get a minivan and trip from airport to the hotel took us only 10 minutes. Was already quite late, but reception was open, few men helped us with luggage. Our host was little bit unpleasant with his attitude but it's nothing serious. Room was spacious, quite clean, although there were ants in one corner of the room (fortunately they had their own route and other parts of the room were unaffected). I would call it a medium range stay. Hot water, rooms located deep in courtyard so wasn't loud in the morning. Nice, standard breakfast, 20 pesos (tuktuk fare) to get to the minivan Kalibo->Caticlan service (another 100pesos per person).

Nice for the Ati-Athian festival
There is not much to do in the neighbourhood, but we just wanted to see the festival and the route began a shirt walk away from the hotel. It was left out of the hotel complex, left again at the first dig roan and at the crossroads is where the festival started. We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel. The room and complex were nice. The WiFi in the room was pretty unusable, but in the lobby it worked well.

ok for a night
Hotel is behind in many ways. Beds have old foam mattresses we were sinking into and we are not even heavy. No hot water in room, had to walk down to reception 3 times at night, staff always tried something but couldn't fix it so we had to shower in another room. Both windows didn't lock and there was some kind of balcony outside so anyone could have just come into our room just by sliding the window open. Room too cramped with one big and one small bed. Power plug next to bed hanging off wall with live wires exposed. Expensive for that level. Would not recommend.

세레스버스타는곳 옆 아님 차우킹과 가까운곳
화장실에 비누와 휴지, 수건만 있음 깔끔한편임 음식을 조금이라도 흘리면 개미가 나타나고 침대위까지 출현함 차우킹 옆이라 밥먹기는 편함 세레스버스터미널이 원래 바로옆이었는데 그 정류장이 옮겨져서 세레스버스터미널에서 10분?정도 걸어야 됨

가성비 좋은, 보라카이 가기전 충전하기 좋은 호텔
공항에서 트라이시클로 5~6분 정도 걸리는 곳에 있는 저렴한 호텔. 다음에 다시 간다면 아예 걸어갈수 있는 공항 바로옆 호텔을 고를수도 있지만 비교적 만족. 저렴한 가격에 보라카이로 들어가기전 충전이 가능하다. 무료와이파이가 되지만 로비에서 하는게 가장 안정적.

에어아시아 이용하면 칼리보공항에 저녁8시 넘어야 도착해요. 아이와 함께 하는 여행이라 또 버스타고 들어가면 넘 피곤할거 같아 공항근처 호텔에서 숙박하고 아침 일찍 보라카이섬 들어가려고 선택한 호텔이예요. 그냥.. 잠만 딱 자기 좋아요. 직원들은 친절했구요. 개미가 많은데... 다행히 침대엔 안올라오더라구요. 에어컨은 계속 틀어놓으니 시원하긴 했어요.

버스터미널과도 굉장히 가깝고 가격대비 정말 좋은 호텔입니다! 가격에 비하면 시설도 좋은편이구요! 시설이나 이런 것들을 신경쓸 거라면 애초에 다른 호텔을 선택했겠죠? 칼리보에서 하루를 묵고 보라카이에 들어가신다면 저는 정말 이 호텔을 추천해요! 주변에 슈퍼와 식당들도 있어서 도착해서 이것저것 사먹기도 좋거든요!

Rekommenderas ej!
Nära busstationen för vidare resa mot Boracay, men annars inget bra med detta hotell. Smutsigt, massa myror, oväsen från området. Rekommenderar ej detta hotell.

La Esperanza
Vi spenderade natten på la esperanza innan vi skulle flyga från Kalibo airport. Det var ganska nära till flygplatsen, och kostade ca 100 php med tricykle. Luftkonditioneringen var väldigt högljudd, öronproppar rekommenderas. Duschen var bra, rumsstorleken helt okej, wifi något långsamt. Frukosten, ca 150 php, inte så prisvärd. Men rekomenderar ändå detta hotell för 1 övernattning innan eller efter en flygresa från Kalibo international airport.
