The rooms were clean and very comfortable air-conditioning ice cold too which is a must for myself. The buffet breakfast was fantastic and a great selection varying daily. All staff friendly and professional. I enjoyed my stay here I extended by 5 days as other hotels don't match up for the value and price paid

We were really impress with Hotel Essencia. Old hotel but very functional. Parking at the basement. Excellent service from the check in lady and the security guards were polite. Comfortable beds, cool aircon, with personal ref, complimentary toiletries and hot and cold shower, plus the buffet breakfast. You cannot ask for more with the very affordable rate.

Perfect base for exploring Dumaguete! Hotel Essencia exceeded expectations. Rooms were spotless and modern, beds were comfy, and AC was ice cold — huge plus in this heat. Staff were genuinely warm and helpful with tour and food recos. Location is quiet yet walking distance to restaurants and just a quick trike to the boulevard. Breakfast was simple but tasty. For the price, this is easily one of the best stays in the city. Thank you, Essencia team especially their OJT’s Very accommodating.

I had quite a positive experience with Hotel Essencia. I particularly enjoyed the spacious room and welcoming staff. Location is a big win as it's walking distance to the Rizal Boulevard, Cathedral, downtown area, and the public market where the famous Painitan can be found. The only kicker during my stay was the unstable WiFi but I spent most of my time outside anyway so no big deal. I highly recommend this place!

Overall experience was amazing. The breakfast buffet was so good! I don’t eat breakfast but the food was so appetizing that it makes my tummy wants more! The staff is accommodating. Our Dumaguete trip was worth it because of this accommodation. Thanks!
