Hotels near Iglesia Ni Cristo - Lokal ng Panorama, Davao

I am on my Vismin leg of trainings and Davao is my last for this week. Had a great, smooth time in Tacloban, Cebu, Bohol and this last seminar in this hotel have been very challenging so far. At the front desk, I requested for lower floor, which I normally do (due personal traumatic experience which I do not need to explain) and after a series of ”please” thank God, Kate of Front Desk stepped in and found us a room at 6th which will be ready only by 5pm. It was turned over around 6pm. In preparation for our Monday seminar, we coordinated with Rose of Banquet to ocular the place as we have a specific layout to follow that will be good for classroom set up, group dynamics and dining. When we arrived at Ruby function room, linen staff Cory was there arranging for our seminar on Monday so we rendered help in lay outing the tables and chairs, projector screen. When we had to coordinate with the technical, we requested an HDMI longer than 1 meter so laptop can rest on the tech table. Sure they have a longer one but with additional charge of P300/day. When I asked for wireless mic to be used since the activity will involve passing around of microphone among the participants, guess what? Yes, an additional P800/mic/day will be charged! So with the 3 days seminar and 1 week stay that we pre booked and paid , these little requests do not come free. I do not want to ruin my Davao stay because I am an avid fan of our former President Duterte and only have the highest respects for his place. I hope to find some pleasant things from this hotel for the remaining days of my stay here to compensate for the ugly start. Time to activate the Vision Mission which is in every room of the hotel and not just left on the brochure. A simple greeting, some genuine smiles mean a lot to every customer. So far the only staff who has a ready smile and genuinely asks how he can be of service is Jaypee, service crew of Cafe Frances. He takes time to talk with the customers and ask how they are doing and recommends the best dish. Food is great and reasonably priced -- large servings and delicious! As for the edifice, needs repairs and refurbs. We had to call in help for the A/C and busted light bulb.

Located in Davao City, Domicilio Lorenzo is within a convenient 5-minute walk from the entertainment hub Matina Town Square and 1,500 feet from NCCC Mall. Pros: - clean rooms, beddings, pillows - nice toilet and bath - cold, split type AC - has a nice swimming pool - common kitchen is available where you can cook Cons: - gated hotel, we had a hard time looking for this property as the gate was closed - no breakfast, though they offered us free coffee and bread - no lifeguard - staff and crew seldom smile, seems they are tired I will probably look for another accommodation but will still recommend this place to my friends and family members, if they wish to stay for 1 night.

Transiting through Davao airport and needing a sleepover the OYO 150 Davao Airport view hotel is a great spot to stop over. Very close to the airport, superbly clean and good service. . For travellers there is only one downside. Payment is in cash on arrival. On arrival ask for help from the stake to carry your bad up the stairs to first floor.

When I was there together with my churchmates we're staying in D'Leonor Hotel for almost 1 week for our church activities. The staff is very friendly and accommodating who went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable and also have a good ambiance. Room with a majestic view, very clean and spacious. Great location which is situated at the heart of Davao. I highly recommend this hotel.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel and I must say, it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I stepped foot into the grand lobby, I was embraced by an atmosphere of elegance and warmth.

Overall, the place is great to refresh your mind together with the family. A nice place to visit in the weekends or holidays. Located in a mountainous place, Eden Nature Park really has a great view of the surrounding areas. Aside from the great view, there are also activities you can try or just watch from the sidelines. Just try to go there earlier in the morning as it gets hot there at around 10-11am and there are a lot of tourist there. Overall, the place is great to refresh your mind together with the family

My father enjoyed his stay and told me he will definitely go back again coz he felt comfortable during his stay and he’s really happy. He can’t stop talking about his stay and he will recommend it to his friends/colleagues about it 🤣 Affordable and the staff’s are so welcoming and accommodating as well 🥰 Will stay here again before I go back to Sg 😊

THE SITUATION We were on a budget and planned to stay for an entire week. We chose The Strand because the online information said it: 1) Was in the right location (near malls) 2) Fit our budget of less than 1000 pesos a night 3) Pictures showed it was clean and looked fairly new 4) Didn't have that motel vibe PROS: 1) Affordable -- less than 1000 a night, man. 2) Friendly, accommodating staff -- we had to change our booking because we were going to stay in another hotel after our first night in Davao, and then go back to The Strand on the third night. Of course, we gave this confirmation before the no cancellation deadline, but what I liked was that we didn't have to do any rebooking online. The staff arranged the modification for us. 3) Morning coffee and bread -- The booking.com information said that breakfast wasn't included. They actually serve one cup of coffee (Nescafe 3-in-1) and one piece of bread (stuffed pandesal) from 6am-10am. It's not a substitute for a proper breakfast, but it can stave off hunger while you're on your way to finding a restaurant or cafe. 4) New building -- It was built only 2 years ago 5) Clean -- Some dirt between the bathroom tiles but not a big deal CONS: 1) Steep & limited parking -- We cracked the car's front fender, and there were only two parking slots. Another option is street parking, but then won't be as secure. 2) No 24-hour pharmacies within walking distance -- I got sick and the hotel doesn't sell paracetamols either. Bring your own med kit if you plan to stay here. 3) No elevator -- They only have 4 levels, so not a big deal unless you're a PWD. Just request for a lower floor upon booking, NOT upon check-in. 4) No jeepney or bus stops nearby -- it's an 8-10 minute walk from the hotel to the nearest street with public transport. We suggest downloading the Grab application so that you can book a taxi anytime. Davao taxi drivers are nice :) 5) Saggy mattress OVERALL: Great for those who are no-frills travelers. The room was very basic, but spacious and clean (we booked a studio). However, next time we might stay somewhere else with better parking and closer to a convenience store or pharmacy. There were other minuscule inconveniences but at such a cheap price per night I was happy to just let them go.
