Hotel is good value for the money. It’s in the center of Barreto and is surrounded by a wide variety of restos/bars. I was lucky to have a room not facing the street (which I would imagine to be quite noisy with traffic). Definitely recommend!

My Views
I stayed for 5 nights. Staff were available 24 hours and very helpful. Room was spacious, clean, well laid out and a safe provided. The ensuite was adequate but dated. There’s no bar and a continental style breakfast available. I will have no hesitation in staying there again

Great place good value but there is better
The place is great value and well placed with access to most things we wanted. The only downfall was the bed, it was extremely hard and actually left two of our party with back pains after the 6 days

Decent priced but wouldnt stay there again
Decent 3 star place centrally located in Barretto. Very noisy National Highway outside. I didnt have a street facing room but still very noisy. Wouldn't stay again due to the hardness of the mattresses. Ended up waking up 4x per night due to a sore back from it. I stayed here to dive with Mangos which was more or less across the road.

Would not cancel an accidental booking even though the request for cancellation was made within a few minutes after the accidental booking. Would not answer phone calls and would not respond to emails. I don't recommend this place.

You get what you pay for.
Room was very noisy. May as well have been outside. Bed only had a sheet. Asked for a blanket and received another sheet. The A/C worked great. Remotes were not functioning. The hot water pump in the shower was plugged in just above and to the side of the shower head with what appeared to be a ground wire hanging to the side. The staff was friendly. Overall this is a classic case of you get what you pay for. Would not stay here again.

Good for those on budget & are not expecting much
The room was OK for the price. We had the superior room for only p1,400. We turned off the aircon in the middle of the night since it was noisy. Tried using the ceiling fan instead. However, turned it off as well since it was noisy too. Good thing, the weather was good and we had a good night's sleep even though we didn't use the aircon and fan. For security, the chain lock for our door was missing. We slept with one of the chairs on the door (just in case). We only stayed to sleep. We left early since we had nothing to do. Also, we booked at a time where there was construction in front of the building. Entering the building through the main door was a little bit dangerous. However, they made the resto entrance the temporary entrance of the pub. Was a little shocked only when i entered the resto since nobody had a face mask on. Again, for p1400 you won't expect much. The good points are the clean, spacious superior room and bath, and the walk to the beach. Enjoyed the cable as well since we got tired of netflix. 😅 Will we go back? maybe but not likely.

BED BUGS
At about 3:00 AM in the morning I was a wake by a painful itch. I got out of bed to see both my legs with dozens of bed bug bits. I went down to the front desk to tell them and ask for a spare room. there were no spare rooms, but they gave me a can of bug kill and fresh linen. This is not how a hotel should be ran or how guest should be treated.

Fantastic hotel, amazing staff, very friendly, nice rooms with everything you need. Great location near baloy beach other attractions close by and great transport links, via jeepey or trike. Or if you want to go further afield they’ll arrange a fly the bus. Great food at the the pub downstairs, pool tables and good priced beers. What more you need.

My choice for barrio barretto.
The pub hotel isn't full service and doesnt have an elevator. You'll have to lug your own luggage. The staff, front desk and maid service was excellent. Very friendly and professional. The water temperature in the shower did vary. And i felt one drop on the bed from the ac unit. There is street noise as the hotel is on the main street. Minor inconveniences i can live with. Can walk to everything you may need. Good place at a bargain price.

Solid place to stay in Barretto
Good hotel at a great price. Not full service but all the basics. Nice ladies at front desk and cleaning staff. Close to what Barretto offers. Right on main road so expect traffic noise. Good enough that I will stay at the Pub Hotel until I leave the Philippines.

We did not stay there because we could bring are suite cases to the third floor. This was not the place we were booking, not Olongapo but we booked SAN Antonio one hour drive away. You must refund the total amount charged by Monday. And yes we will put this online and you are not going to appreciate the results Expedia, and I will write the truth as this is a total rip off. Return my credit amount. Paul A Bourassa. paulabourassa1@gmail .com. Can you imagine booking one place and getting another complete different city and place.
