Pina Suites is one, if not the newest hotel in Ormoc City. ||||Pros:||||Location - it is strategically located in the heart of Ormoc City. Just a few blocks away from the port, plaza and city proper where fast foods, banks, and business enterprises are located. ||||Though I am not familiar with Ormoc City, I could easily get my way through the streets because Pina Suites is in the Google Map.||||Service - Their front desk in charge is accommodating, well organized and works fast. When we requested for additional rooms, they were easily able to provide it for us.||||Food - Since they do not have their own restaurant, food is served in Bo's Coffee at very affordable prices. Breakfast meals are at 170.00 with 4 choices of menu. Just be sure to give in advance your order so that when the coffee shops open at 630am, you can immediately ask for your orders. The coffee shop has a variety of hot drinks (tea and choco), coffees, and desserts (cakes and cookies). ||||Rooms - the rooms are new, fresh, clean and elegant. It is spacious, cleaned daily with quality toiletries and slippers. The pillows are very soft and the towels provided are of the best quality too. There is a hot and cold shower. Same with the faucet provided. ||||Internet - Fast internet is provided inside the room with around 3mbps and watching videos does not lag.||||Our room had a balcony overlooking the city. The balcony has a table and chairs and it is refreshing to have a morning coffee there ;)||||There is a grocery store on the ground floor. ||||The hotel is next to the VS GrandTours terminal. ||||Cons: ||||Parking area - There is a limited parking area good for 5 - 6 vehicles/van only so be sure to park early or look for a nearby parking space. The hotel is next to a van terminal too.||||No elevator - Right now, the elevator is being...
Read moreIt was a great stay! I checked-in at the hotel on july 5-18, 2020 during the covid crisis but the hotel has not housed any covid positive individual so far so i felt safe right away. The hotel is comfortable and decent. i stayed on the 3rd floor. during checkin, i carried my own luggage using the elevator to the 3rd floor. the door is using security cards for lock so you get a sense of security and technology/modernity. :) there is no telephone in the rooms and you need to get the celfon number of the reception and the hotel facebook account upon checked-in. if you're staying for several days, you will notice, they don't automatically send replacement towels, soap, toiletries, tissues everyday. you need to call them before they send any. Food is nice, delicious and has variety. The room has two separate beds, television with cable channels, electric pot, wifi ( password obtained from reception) , no refrigerator, it has a electronic safe, and a bed lamp, long table and chair and lot of electrical sockets. bathroom is comfortable and modern, with a glass divider to the rooms covered by curtain. bathroom has big mirror with hair drier which is really useful. it has fire exit. One row of rooms is facing the streets and has good view of the street while the other row across has window but just a small and not so good view of outside, so ask for a room with good view of street. Air-conditioning is good and the hotel has generator now which worked when we lost power...
Read moreThis hotel is too bad for its price. No complimentary water, you have to go down to the ground floor to refill your bottle. Window is facing their utility area so when you open the curtain you will see dirty mops, basins, pails, etc. Also water coming out of the shower is just a little. It will take much of your time just to shower. There’s TV but with no signal. WIFI SOOO SLOW. No breakfast as well. If you ask, they’ll say they dont have a menu, if you buy a breakfast, they will just prepare anything in the morning. Costumer service on their social media page is so slow and bad at replying as well. Reception is worse, not that courteous and you won’t feel very welcome coz they look tired already and just waiting for their end shift. Housekeeping is the worst, they dont know simple courtesy and they just all chill together and gossip loudly in bigger rooms before/while they’re cleaning....
