A few days before our trip i cancelled my reservation at a resort in Sipaway and just decided on finding a hotel in San Carlos when we got there and we ended up with Palau Hotel as it was the only hotel in Google which looked good.||From the Bus Terminal the hotel is very near.

And good thing is that we can already go inside the room despite it being too early.||The Hotel had an elevator (Contrary to what another Reviewer said that there are no elevators). The Room we got is a Standard Room and for the price it was a big room. It had 2 Single beds it was comfortable but just had 1 pillow (i usually sleep with 4 pillows). They give soap and shampoo but very tiny so bring your own. Room was already cold when we got there as the aircon already turned on. It also had a desk, a 24inch LED TV with clear Reception, a Cabinet, telephone. Bathroom was of good size, Hot/cold Shower, Toilet has no Bidet.||Did not eat at the hotel so i could not comment about their food.

Palau is near the Port, Plaza and Church. 7/11 is nearby.||Check In and Check out was fast. A good choice to stay...

Read morePalau Hotel is a nice hotel to consider when you're around San Carlos City area, very accessible from the port and just within the heart of the city where commercial destinations can be walking distance.
