Hotel Bintang 2 di Bicol, Filipina

This is an actual homestay hotel, which is located in a residential area, however, there is everything you need around, there are shops, there are some places to eat. The staff is very friendly and the view from the roof is amazing. Everything is clean.

Very nice hotel! Clean and quiet. Located in Old Albay so very near fast foods, grocery, etc. They also catered to my request of a room with window :) Complete amenities so far although there is no elevator so not recommended for those with physical disabilities or seniors with gait problems. Breakfast choices are just okay. Limited only.

Our flight was early in the morning, so we arrived at the Inn at 8 am. 1. We opted for early check in (Php100/hour) 2. But since the room type that we booked was not available, we paid for the room difference so we could rest (upgraded from double room to family room). Cons: 1. The upgraded room had no bottled waters. In the evening of our second day, I saw one of the staff distributing bottled waters to a room with newly arrived guests. When I asked where are our bottled waters, the staff said we are supposed to received upon first night check in. I told the staff that we didn’t receive, the staff didn’t provide for our room, and just said that we can get from the water dispenser downstairs. 2. The blanket was so thin, it was as thin as the sheets NOT suitable for an airconditioned room. 3. A glass of hot water (for coffee/hot drinks/noodles purposes) costs Php5. 4. The hallway was not clean, dusty and with fallen leaves/flowers from the potted plants. 5. The shower hose leaks, we’ve been to two different rooms— but it was the same case both shower hoses were leaking so the water pressure was slow. 6. The bathroom water drains very slowly. In the two different rooms we’ve been to, it is the same case. We were assigned to two different rooms on the second level. 7. The compound has signages that it is a no-smoking zone— but it is not true. They allow guests to smoke inside. (See picture) 8. Not enough parking spaces inside. So our car was parker outside and in the adjacent lot. Pros: 1. Clean sheets, pillow cases/ covers. Excellent white and smells clean. We also see how they diligently iron all their sheets. 2. Spacious family room. The double room was just right. It’s a bit tight for a family (with a kid) especially if you have luggages.

I super loved the room as well as the hospitality of the staffs. It was so clean and the room smells good. I will surely come back.
