Poblacion hotels & places to stay

My stay in Apo View Hotel located at the city center of Davao was a great pleasure for me. I have made the right decision to chosed this hotel inspite the room rate but it's worth it. Safety measures has been practiced from the time i arrived in the hotel till i left. Hotel staff were all smiling, accomodating, never you gonna feel that you are stranger on that place. Hospitality is the best selling point of the hotel coming from the natives of Davao's. All parts of the hotel were cleaned and properly arranged especially the room itself. And given a chance that i'll be back in Davao, i don't have the second thought of cosing Apo View Hotel again.....Thank you much guyz...job well done....

Booked the executive suite but had to add extra bed, as I was expecting 2 bedrooms but it only had 1. Facilities were great because it is relatively a new hotel. Staff were attentive and warm. They attended to my needs promptly and check in was a breeze. Beds were soft and comfy. Toiletries were sufficient. Breakfast buffet was average and had limited spread but relatively cheap (250/head). Jacuzzi was the best part of the stay and the staff was nice enough to turn it on for us.The only thing I didn't like about this place is the views from the room. Everywhere I looked it was roofs and streets. Other than this, Im very happy with my stay at the pinnacle.

I was booking at green windows dormitel a few months before staying there, the hotel is an FTC tower building and the green windows is located at the fifth floor. One block of the ground floor building is the entrance to the hotel, and it has an elevator and a stairway spiral with green glass walls to walk through in case you need some variation in mode of transport to the hotel floors. On arrival we were told that the room is a no smoking room and the cafeteria is at at the fifth floor where we can have our free breakfast. The staff is friendly and courteous enough to receive us, and lead us to our room at the 6th floor. The hallway is large enough and is carpeted. The room is just enough, the noise outside can not be heard inside the room, it has a cable tv a very cold aircon which we have to adjust the temperature from time to time. The hotel is a new hotel just a year old since operation. The walls of the hotel is made of green out p but without windows. The tree and the grasses that surrounds the hotel as seen online is non existing as it is surrounded by residences with old buildings. Overall, the hotel is a good place to stay as it is within the city center and close to other establishments, the people's park is just a walking distance where we roamed on Christmas night. Security is very important as well as there is a guard in every hotel floor, we have not lost any belonging.

We were mostly out of the room due to our tours. But whenever we come back, they have already cleaned the room, fixed the bedsheets, placed new towels... and best of all, our personal belongings remained UNTOUCHED. Our only concern was with the tour agency the hotel booked for us. We booked a 10hr COUNTRYSIDE tour (Phil Eagle Center, Eden Nature Park etc.,) plus CITY tour if we have remaining time. That was the agreed tour itinerary. But on the day of our tour, the tour agent told us that our rate was only for ONE Countryside and the rest is for City tour (as agreed by the agency and the hotel). We were not informed about the CHANGE of plans so we had no choice but to add Php500 just to avail the complete Countryside tour when supposedly that should have been our itinerary. Anyway, that was the only concern. The hotel amenities, location and cleanliness are tops!

Hello! I highly recommend this hotel in Davao city. The staff are friendly and will give you the best service possible. The room is clean as well as the bathroom. My accommodation includes buffet breakfast and I'm giving the breakfast food selections 5 stars. Few things that can be improved is their hot shower, please have it checked because your guests will highly favored hot showers in the evening after a long tiring day. The bathroom includes a bath tub which needed to have another look specifically the water stopper because it wasn't really working well. I would have wanted to enjoy a hot tub but I couldn't save water. I didn't bother to call and have it fix during my stay as I was already tired to wait for someone to take a look at it -- so this is for your future guests. Overall, it's worth the money staying at TRMH. Thank you.

i have stayed here a number of times now as well as at their sister hotel in ecoland (casa leticia business inn). both are very nice 3-star hotels and the best i have found for their price range in davao. if you want to stay close to the nightlife i would stay here. the net in good and the food is great. everything was nice and clean and everyone at the hotel was very professional. this is my 4th stay and will be staying here again i am sure.

this is the best budget hotel so far in davao city. hotel is ideally located in the heart of the city. considering that this hotel newly operated a few months back, it is evident that this is well managed. all staff were polite and helpful starting from the security guard, check-in counter and housekeeping. the best thing was that i was allowed an early check as i left my previous accomodation because i was not happy with the service provided. i would definitley check in this hotel next time i will be in davao.

I and my partner stayed for a night only. We got the matrimonial bed since there was a good offer for the room. Matrimonial rooms are regularly priced at around Php 1500+ but we got to book it for only Php 1100. A very good deal. The staff were friendly during our stay. The bathroom was clean and hot and cold shower was available. The location is very strategic since it is located near shopping malls and city centers. We haven't experienced ordering their food since we ate at a local resto outside the hotel. If you are in the city for business purposes, you may need to bring your own wifi device since the wifi is only available at the lobby. Also, phone signals are somewhat low on our room. Having said that, I still recommend the place if you are on a budget and want a clean and peaceful place to stay.

i rather liked this hotel. clearly when it was first built it was probably five star but over the years it has matured like a fine wine. some may say it needs a coat of paint here and there but in my view all the essential things worked well. the bathroom was spacious but the water at times could have been hotter. the breakfast was very adequate and if there was something you wanted, like cereal, which they did not have they would get you your own special bowl! i thought the area round the pool could have been livelier and the ability to buy alcoholic drinks throughout the hotel could have been improved. it seems that beer and soft drinks were the order of the day. staff were superb and overall we had a nice stay. location was central near most of what you might need. downstairs they had a ballroom dancing club where you could buy drinks but to the accompaniment of tango music and many couples dancing rather reminiscent of the grand hotel eastbourne and another era!

I was originall going to book this Hotel but due to the previous reviews i changed my mind. I came and checked it out whilst i was staying elsewhere. For the price you will be hard pushed to find a better hotel in Davao. Its new and clean. The staff are great once they get to know you. My room faced the street which is busy but quietens down after 10pm. I think they are short staffed so they ask you to tell reception when you want your room cleaning. For the budget conscious they have fan rooms not advertised which i changed too for $10 a night for a double it is a shared bathroom which has about 5 showers but hey well worth it.still have wifi just no tv

The property is situated in the middle of Davao City. It is located in the Poblacion District. It is less than 400 meters away the busy thoroughfare of JP Laurel Ave. near Victoria Plaza Mall. It's just near most of the city's tourist attractions. At first, the hotel was a little hard for the taxi driver to locate because it's inside a village and it's kinda new. The property is pleasant in it's glorious white paint. It's well secured by a CCTV system. The staffs were friendly, polite and helpful. The doorman even acts like a concierge to help us with our needs like transportation. The room were very clean as with its bathroom. It has a cable equipped LCD TV. Also has wifi. Bathroom has heater. Probably the only downside of the property is the lack of elevator. Our room is at 4th floor. Having a baby with us. It's hard to go up the steep flight of stairs. Breakfast was basic with egg sandwich & coffee. But no complaints for budget conscious travelers like us. Not bad for 1,200/night.

The best thing about the hotel is that it is superb value for money! The low beds make the room seem a lot more spacious and we enjoyed having a nice sized bathroom too. The food in the hotel tasted great and the natural layout of the hotel created a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere in which to really relax and unwind. The only very slight issue I had was with the free wifi and satellite tv. The weather caused a few disconnections from the local network which was a little disappointing when in the middle of a Skype to family abroad or whilst watching a movie.

Cheap hotel convenient.but the hotel standards are in decline breakfast service sloppy and very slow to serve.the size of food is not how it used to be .poor quantity.i been coming here for 10 years cause it's convenient for me.rooms are in need of upgrades.getting old now.just one poor blanket.bad old aircon and broken fittings.nothing seems to get done here .front desk staff all ways change now.cafe staff polite.but breakfast service is terrible.always a mix up in booking even with 4 months notice.no one seems to bother.if price is right it's ok but don't pay high price.its time I looked for a better place to stay now I can't recommend it any more.stay away from noisy third floor

I booked and check-in a standard room the same day, I really like using agoda for rushed booking because you can still get great and cheap deals for hotel like this. and what i stated in my booking request was delivered by this hotel. We had a smooth check-in. Though our only purpose is just to get a comfy rest through the night, there is a night market in the area if you want to go a little shopping and explore davao street food. My only concern is the hotel is still using an old fashioned door knob lock system and this kind of lock doesn't make you feel secure when leaving your stuff in the room. But overall our stay is very good with free breakfast. I can stay in this hotel again.

the hotel staff was great, very helpful, though housekeeping could have been more at times consistent with keeping the room with more shower floor mates, sometimes hit or miss, room was comfortable, clean. The front desk personnel always helpful and very knowledgeable. the restaurant " tiggos" attached to hotel, the food was not bad but they were very inconsistent with their portions and found a thumb tack in my fiancées food. After that we never ate there again.

The location is👍. Walking distance to people's park. You can do jogging at the park early morning, many people do it and it feels like home. Bank's are nearby, so if easy to withdraw if you become broke 😁😂. The city hall, cathedral, parks, museo dabawenyo are within reach by foot. Enjoy walking because it's good as exercise. Not far from the museo dabawenyo is the D Bone musuem, make sure not to miss this. Museo dabawenyo and D bone musuem has tour guide, they give very informative details. It's 👍👍. Few blocks away from the hotel is the Penong's and Saging Repablik which happen to be in my itinerary, which makes the it great place to stay. Roxas night market, pasalubong center, bankerohan market, aldhevinco shopping center and Gmall are all within reach by foot. So enjoy walking.😊👣 711 is the nearest convenient store which is 3-5 minutes walk (depend how you walk 🚶) For the price, book day before or within the day, it is much cheaper. 😊👍 Before leaving the hotel, you triple check your belongings. Because during check out they will not inspect your room. After you hand over the keys, they will just say that you're good to go. The cleans are room, during check in they have this form, you have options if you like them to clean the room or not. This makes you feel more secure that once you leave the room on day time, they will not enter without your permission. So it's 👍👍👍

there's not really any frills about this hotel, but it was cheap and comfortable. nice enough bed, hot shower, good ac, room service, and a good breakfast comes with the stay. the food in the cafe is pretty good too. the staff were very friendly and ready to help with anything i needed. the best part for me, as a fitness enthusiast, was that i stayed on the top floor where there is a large open patio space that was perfect for me to do my morning stretches and bodyrock workouts.

For first time traveller in Davao, Bahay ni Tuding is one of the best place to start with, situated in Poblacion and is walking distance away from City Hall and other popular places in the City. The place is decent and well kept with classic and welcoming feeling. Tried the famous yougart which is included in the breakfast. Only stayed for one night but I will definitely stay again if I will go back in Davao!

The staff is friendly and helpful. Our initial room has dimmed lights so we asked to be transferred. They were booked solid due to kadayawan event but were able to transfer the following day to a much better one. Love the convenience as it is walking distance to shopping, food, and City Hall. The only thing the owners should change are those dim lights. Replace it with bright ones because it was hard to open our luggage (TSA with codes). Also very straining to the eyes. Another one is the parking. If they clear some of the items on the side it may be easier to get out. Other than that if you don't have a vehicle, plenty of taxis and jeepneys.

Pros: budget friendly hotel Very kind and approachable owner Quiet place artistic interior Cons: Poor internet conection, u have to go out of your room to have a better conection. Room is (poorly)warmly lit. You need to open all the lights if you want to read a book. Location is inside the village. but Just a 4 to 5 minutes walk to the highway. Bonus: the owner is the mother of davao's renowed artist. Kublai. His works of art is exhibited in the hallway of the hotel where u can view it for free!

i had a great stay with my brother and nieces.rooms are big with a receiving area on the first floor with kitchen and extra comfort room. complimentary breakfast is great and staff are friendly. great swimming pool which is free to use. availability of wifi but need to purchase a card to access. i suggest that it will be better if they offer wifi access for free. i am looking forward to book in again on this hotel and will recommend this place to my friends with huge family. i am sure that they will enjoy their stay while exploring davao city.

after we got a bigger room with two beds, we were "satisfied with it". you need to bring your own soap, shampoo, big towels as what were supplied with "postage sized". no blankets, so if you want to be warm you need to turn off the aircon on & off. there was a waiting room for your visitors to wait for you.internets were accessed in the "lobby" which was very warm. the staff were very friendly and helpul who tried their best to make us comfortable. what is the best part of the hotel? it was near a mall for meals and you can walk or take a tricyle which was dirt cheap.

Our stay was OK, considering we were in a windowless box. The A/C rooms don't have windows! The fan rooms do have windows, so it might have been a better choice after all. The staff were really nice, though, and it was easy to get around. It's close to the city centre, so everything is within P100 pesos by cab, or a jeepney ride away. There are better hotels in the vicinity, though, so only book this if it's really cheap on here. It might be better to just walk in because the rack rates are lower than the online rates.

Don Manaloto, the General Manager, is hands-on in the operation of the hotel-- one major factor why service is excellent. Every staff goes out of his way to provide total guest satisfaction. The location is best for guests who would like to be "far from the maddening crowd" yet close to the activity centres of the city. I commend Ronald who drove us around the various destinations in Davao City and also Abby, the Front Office Manager, who has trained her front-liners to always wear a smile and patiently attend to the requirements of the guests. I recommend this place to everyone-- value for money, a three-star facility with a five-star service excellence. I hope to be back for the Kadayawan 2016 event this August.
