Matig-a Seaside Pensione — Hotel in Tagbilaran

A guesthouse that was already very popular with Filipinos before its renovation due to the price-performance ratio, and still is. In fact, I have rarely enjoyed a more beautiful view than from a room here. It is good value for money and highly recommended. The rooms are very quiet due to the sea-facing location.

Even when it's raining, it's a good place to stay. The corridors are spacious, shady and airy. There was an almost antique-looking table and chair in front of my room on the first floor, which I liked to use from time to time to study Cebuano, listen to music or write a travelogue. There is space for one or two vehicles in the courtyard, in any case for a scooter.

From the guesthouse it is very close to the center, e.g. to the National Museum of the Philippines - Bohol and to the plaza in front of it, where delicious snacks are offered in the evening. Everything you need for your daily needs can be purchased in the immediate vicinity. Several malls and other shopping streets are within easy walking distance. For an evening outing, I recommend Martins Music & Resto-Bar, which is conveniently located about 10 minutes away from the guesthouse.

Every time I entered or left the property of the guesthouse and exchanged a nice greeting with the ladies of the house, a pleasant feeling of confidence rose in me that told me: you are in...

Our local contact booked and recommended this place to us so she booked us here. Was kind of skeptical at first because was not really used to staying in pension houses. But I was in for a pleasant surprise. We were given a 2 room apartment in the second floor which was very spacious and had complete amenities such as a refrigerator, stove and utensils. There was also a dining table and a sofa bed. The place was totally spic and span clean and had no bad odor. Rooms were spacious enough for 4 people each and bed was comfy. There was also hot water and pressure was okay. They also gave basic bathroom amenities, towels and blankets. But I would recommend to bring your own toiletries as their toiletries can be quite small. Only thing that needs improvment is that they should add a toilet bidet and hopefully they could already upgrade their fridge and aircon which was already kind of outdated and rusty. The aircon in our room also malfunctioned on our last night so it was very uncomfortable. All in all a pleasant stay and it is really worth the price since you would just be sleeping in anyway. Will recommend to friends...

Great location. From Tagbilaran Pier to Matig-A, it takes about 10 mins by tricycle with a 50 peso cost, plus a 5 mins walk to downtown, where the landmark church across from a lively park, cafe, supermarket, food stands, banks gather. ||To my surprise, the high-recommended filipino resto Payag just ahead of Matig-A by a 2 mins walk, while Gerarda's just within1 km. ||The room itself is simple and normal,with an attached walk-in-shower bathroom, aircon, two single beds, a closet, a desk. But the room we stayed on the 2 floor wasn't clean. There was a bunch of ants crawling in most of the room area. The other fault was no hot water, the temp feeling like the water in the sun, a bit cool.||The guesthouse opens the rooftop as a lounge and dining area. Here's a bottled water dispenser providing boiled water and water refilled. We camp up here to enjoy our fresh brewed coffee that went with the breeze and clear bluish seaview early in the morning.||In result, the price Matig-A charges is a bit higher, compared to what it offers. But the great location is the remarkable but also only...
