The hotel location is perfect, being right by the highway and just 5-10 minutes from the airport, making it convenient for transportation. The rooms, however, are unbelievably small and cramped, with old-fashioned furniture and cleanliness concerns, compounded by Wi-Fi issues. Service is very personable, with sincere apologies for any misunderstandings and thoughtful gestures like a complimentary plate of fruits, making the stay enjoyable. The dining experience has limited options and falls short on quality, notably lacking healthier choices and sometimes being understaffed.

The hotel room we stayed in was not what we expected for a superior category, as it was much smaller than anticipated and had a faulty air conditioning unit. The price we paid for an upgraded room did not match the luxury experience we were looking for. On the positive side, the service was accommodating, with a formal apology gesture and complimentary fruits, although it was a bit slow. The location was convenient, close to the airport and the mall, but the noise from the busy road below was a drawback. The dining experience, while promising, fell short with limited breakfast options.

I was delighted with the hotel's prime location in Puerto Princesa and its friendly service. The rooms were clean and cozy, though some areas had a strange layout. Despite the noise from below my room, the hotel provided a great base for exploring the city. While the dining options were decent, there were a few improvements needed, and the bar service could have been better. Overall, a decent value for the money with convenient access to the city center and Robinson's Mall.

The hotel had clean and decent-sized rooms with useful amenities like a fridge and kettle, which was refreshing after a long island-hopping trip, but fell short of true 4-star standards due to their small size. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our short stay convenient and pleasant. The location, right by the highway and with informative details about local tours, was convenient, but the dining options were extremely limited, except for the satisfying freshly made sandwiches.

The hotel is conveniently located near the highway and just a short distance from the airport, making it easy for tour vans to find us and for us to explore the area using public transportation. The rooms need serious cleaning and are a bit cramped, with old-fashioned furniture that wasn't very clean. Despite some maintenance issues like peeling plaster and a damp smell, the location is nice and enjoyable.

The hotel is in a convenient location along the main road, making it easy to access public transportation. The rooms were initially dark and small, but we were able to switch to a brighter and more spacious room when one became available. The staff, from the shuttle bus driver to the receptionists and the chef making omelettes, were all friendly and accommodating. The dining options were limited and not very healthy. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money.

The hotel had some ups and downs. The staff was very accommodating and helpful, with sincere apologies for any inconveniences and a complimentary plate of fruits. However, the rooms had issues with poor working Air-Con, torn curtains, and an unpleasant stuffy feel, requiring two room changes to find a brighter, more spacious option according to the receptionist. The location was convenient for accessing the mall but not ideal for a long stay, nestled just outside of downtown. The dining options were limited and appeared understaffed with some healthy choices missing.
