Was Gäste sagen

In Bewertungen loben Gäste die zentrale Lage, das freundliche Personal und die generell sauberen, komfortablen Zimmer des Hotel Essencia. Wiederkehrende Nachteile sind unzuverlässiges WLAN, schwankende Warmwasserversorgung und Wasserdruck sowie ein Frühstücksbuffet, dem es manchmal an Abwechslung mangelt oder das kalt serviert wird.

Die Gäste schätzen auch den Reise-Schalter in der Lobby, die Parkmöglichkeiten vor Ort und die sichtbare Sicherheitspräsenz. Die Zimmer zeigen stellenweise Gebrauchsspuren, und Lärm von Straßenverkehr, Hunden oder Balkonen kann leicht Schlafende stören. Insgesamt ist es eine praktische Wahl für Kurzaufenthalte in Dumaguete.

We enjoyed our stay, the location relative to the port and Blvd. area was very convenient. The room was nice and was a good value. Good breakfast and coffee in the morning. We appreciated the safe parking area.

Nice location. Great staff as most Filipinos are. Limited breakfast but sufficient as it’s included in the price 👍 Avoid rooms next door to balconies, smoking is allowed there, people congregate there, smoking and talking to the early hours. As a non smoker it wasn’t a nice place to be. 1 guest was there on his phone shouting down the line at 4.30 am, at 5am I politely asked if he could tone it down as I was trying to sleep. Typical selfish obese American he refused 🤔. He stayed there until 7.30am, yes 3 hours on a phone shouting, total ignoring anyone else that was still sleeping. Saying that I would have loved to have ejected him over the balcony was an understatement, as a non violent person I decided to request a new room. Which was granted at reception. Little did he know that for over 20 years I was a semi pro fighter and could have chosen not to be so polite 😳

This is our preferred location In Dumaguete. We are always happy with the staff, location, parking, breakfast buffet, and massage and travel services in the lobby. Wifi was marginal, but no other negatives to speak of. I feel very safe and comfortable here and recommend.

The Staff was always friendly and ready to assist with whatever the request was. Housekeeping did a great job of keeping the room clean, and meal options at breakfast were always satisfying. Transportation options, including parking, were great as well. There were also plenty of walking locations nearby making it a convenient location to stay while in Dumaguete

Almost everything was great. The bed was comfortable, the AC was cold, the water pressure was good. We were on the 8th floor. Wi-Fi was weak. During the morning hot water was sometimes lacking during what we figured was peak usage. 24 hour security guards was nice. Definitely will stay here again.

This is a busy central hotel that has seen better days. The staff are great but the rooms are dated, dark and not particularly comfortable. The incessant traffic noise could be heard even on the 7th floor so the room wasn’t very quiet. There was only one lift working which is a nuisance when the hotel is busy. Breakfast was ok but the room was so busy and people so greedy that there wasn’t anywhere to sit and not much to eat. It’s ok for a couple of days but I wouldn’t return to Dumaguete or this hotel.

I showed an hour early and when I asked to check in I was reminded that check-in is 2pm and asked to wait until then. Also, the rat I observed running through the dining room during breakfast made me lose my appetite and desire to remain in the hotel.

Staff was courteous, and housekeeping service were courteous. Guests can be very loud at night, but that's not the fault of the hotel. However, I couldn't believe that they wanted 350.00 pesos from me for arriving 3 hours early even though there was a room available. I twas outrageous. I travel a lot to many parts in the world and not a single hotel had charge me extra for checking in early.
