The Apo View Hotel

We liked the layout of the hotel. Easy to get around.

I don’t know why this hotel doesn’t get better reviews. Yes, it’s older and yes, the rooms might smell a little bit but it’s a nice classical hotel with a good breakfast, Great location and big rooms.

The property is admittedly under rennovation. The breakfast buffet was open at 6 but not fully set uo. By 7 it was better. When i asked for simple things like refill of empty pans, butter, syrup, jam, coffee, egg station...just shoulder shrugs from most of the staff.seems key people di not show up on time perhaps

Considering how old the hotel is, and the renovations done, most importantly the friendly staff, I would make this my go to hotel each time I visit Davao City.

Needs a general update

Bien situé, piscine agréable. Chambre familiale immense. Changer votre cuisinier… Change your cook… Usba imong luto... Baguhin ang iyong luto... L’hôtel est luxueuse et la nourriture très moyenne, cela est très décevant. J’ai pris tout mes repas à l’extérieur

Good hot water shower. Spacious room. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the pool.

convenient and clean

It’s a nice old hotel with big rooms that are always clean and comfortable. The hotel does have an odor to it like some old Hotels do. I might not stay there because their staff has to say good morning and good afternoon to every person they see and that gets really annoying just trying to walk to breakfast. That May sound trivial, but after staying there several times, it really gets annoying because in my culture you’re supposed to stop and return the greeting and not just look forward and walk on like the other hot shots get a kick out of doing, I’m sure.

I smell bad inside the room

The room is spacious, neat and comfortable to stay in.

First time in Davao. Apo View was perfect for our stay, it was near the People's Park, Davao Cathedral, Gaisano Mall and taxi and other public transpo was super accessible right outside the hotel. Breakfast buffet was lovely, many choices to select from. Our room was cleaned daily and refills were regularly done for the complementary coffee etc. The staff were all courteous always greeting us with the right hand in their heart...a custom I guess to show sincerity of greetings....if given a chance to visit Davao with the whole family, Apo is the place 👍👍👍

It was clean and busy

AC not giving cold air, tub clogged had to call for service. plumber finished after 4am, not much sleep, not recommended

Okay but air con shut each time you leave then very hot to wait for room to cool again

The property has a great location. There were issues while we stay at this property for 10 days. First, Wifi connection was very poor in our room. I could say that in our 10 days of stay, I only had a few hours of wifi connection and that was the first day we checked in. One night, I had to call their IT to help us with the wifi connection. Another night I had to go down to the front desk to ask for help and she said she will get IT to help us. We waited until we fell asleep - nobody showed up. The rest of the stay? I had to go out to the pool area or the lobby. Breakfast menu was poor. We had the same menu every morning for 10 days. One morning, when we went down for our breakfast, there was only one waiter available, no available table for 4 (it means that most tables were not cleaned nor ready and the rest were occupied. It was around 8:30 in the morning. Breakfast time starts at 6am. We stood by the front entrance for a good 3 mins to be waited on and finally I approached the waiter if we could sit on the one uncleaned table to wait because we had a senior citizen with us who can't stand that long. We waited and nobody came to clean the table so we moved to a long table of probably 10 just so we could start our day. Very disappointing. One night, I had to call 2 times for our free water bottle. So overall, the family did not have a comfortable stay at this property. Customer service was poor. I think that this property could use a better shower mat. Upgrade a little bit

It was late afternoon when we checked in and only 1 receptionist who was dealing the influx of the people waiting to checkin. And attending multiple phone calls as well. The family room exceeds my expectations as it was huge and bed were big and spacious. Breakfast is fairly good not much selections but Im not complaining as I dont much into eating breakfast. Location is just so perfect accessible to everything. Staff were all welcoming and the hotel has maintained its friendly environment ever since I first stepped in here 3 decades ago. Highly commendable.

Overall the Hotel was nice and room 363 was very spacious. This is our 3rd staying at this hotel. The big disappointment this stay and both times in the past is the internet. It is almost useless and after this 3rd dissatisfaction with the internet I will not be staying here again. Hotel=Nice. Internet =VERY Bad.

No hot water was supplied Cold shower was not tolerable even in hot season

plumbing issues. Our toilet and tub does not drain.

Management was incompetent. It took Three to 4 Phone calls to get a response. The front desk said they had no knowledge or time to avoid dining options.

The staff is great. Very attentive to your needs. Rudy in the restaurant absolutely the best.

The breakfast is very good. The rooms are ok but in need of an upgrade, which I think is in progress. The staff and everyone I came in contact with was top notch. If you get breakfast ask for Rudy absolutely the best service!

Staff are courteous.

The staff was always friendly, had a smile on their faces and willing to help.

Great place to stay and the staff are faultless and always smiling.

Service was amazing and the staff was incredible! Very grateful for an amazing stay!

convenient and clean

Far from shopping centers and dining establishments

Nice location

The hotel is about 30 mins away from the airport and is located in an area where you can walk to many places (park, night market, restaurants).

The buffet part. Short staff. Nit easy to find seats. Lots of reservation for a small place. Should be that reservation good for until 15 mins if no show open it up to other guests. Food is so so. Repeating. In the Philippines, we have alk kinds of yummi breakfast food. Should have variety and mire healthy choices like vegetables - pinakbet, bisaya otan, etc. note less salt or no salt should be the mind of the chef. Thank you

It’s an older hotel, it’s understood but the safe was not working and no hot water. Supervisors were informed on both and promised to fix. Four nights there and never saw them. Breakfast buffet food was ok but food was not replaced when they run out. It was a constant battle trying to get them to bring fresh dishes. Took 25 minutes to get bacon after it ran out. Don’t go to breakfast after 9am, you’ll only get the leftovers! It seemed the working staff was trying but the kitchen personnel were not. I put this on supervision/management, not the employees. It is management job to insure coordination between employees.
