This is a recent turn over hotel and I feel they are still upgrading from the previous owners. The property is very clean and generally serviceable, but a lot of little things fall short. We had two rooms. One had a modern plastic rfid key, and the other an old fashion metal key. In my room they provided instant coffee packets, but no water heater/kettle. They had two coffee cups but no glasses. Two bath towels, but no hand towels or wash cloths. I felt it was kind of a 3.5 star hotel, but they don’t have 3.5 on the survey scale, so I gave them 4 stars.

No windows or phone in room. TV not working. Only one towel. Unsecure furniture...."closet" fell on me twice when i opened door. AC unit has a constant drip noise . Bugs, micro-ants, and small lizard in room. Entrance dirty and smells with stray dogs running wild. Staff very apathetic and not very helpful. Avoid this place.

This place was probably one of the worst hotels i’ve stayed at. I’ve been to a lot of places all over the globe, but this was by far THE WORST!!! The staff was unbelievably cunty with me, asking for my itinerary when she had it pulled up on the computer already like she didn’t believe me when i was there the night prior. Charged me 2250 pisos for a late check out? when i never requested a late check out??? also refused to take my cards said cash only, i’m pretty sure it’s just a bunch of scam artists working just like the rest of this godforsaken island, sad to see a holiday in like this.

I am disappointed with my stay at Empire Suites Hotel. The hotel is dirty and rundown. Area is dumpy and smelly. They advertise terraces, but the rooms don’t have them. When I asked the Front Desk to change to a room with a terrace, he confirmed there were none. He justified their website by claiming that the restaurant has a terrace.

Pros - • very affordable • friendly and helpful staff • easy to get tuktuk (local taxi/bikes) from outside the entrance Cons - • aircon doesn’t work very well • Walls are paper thin • There was a window at the top of the wall in the room, when I stood on the bed to see what was outside i found that it looked straight into someone else’s room… very strange. Overall, for the price, I’d say that it was pretty good, and was fine for the 1 night we booked, but i wouldn’t want to stay here for too many nights.

Staff are friendly and attentive. Able to provide you with what you need. Just ask for it. This hotel is family oriented. Just walking distance to restaurant or fast food chain including malls like NCCC for shopping or grocery. If you want a quiet night, this is not a place for you. Hotel stay includes continental breakfast or buffett. They never run out of rice or bread. If you like toasted/salted fish, this is a place for you. During my stay, I lost my Fendi watch, but when I checked out and gone out of the door, somebody found my watch and returned it to me. So that was a great sense of relief.

Decend Hotel, 5 mins from airport via Van. Walking distance to some of the nice restaurants. If u like to drink, that's a bar just opposite the hotel. Room is decend. However, breakfast need to improve. I tried the breakfast the first day, but it was bad, and 2nd day I had my breakfast outside.
