3 Stars Hotels in Davao Region, Philippines

Room was okay, but the aircon is too slow compared to the other room where my siblings used. Hotel location is just nearby Sm Lanang which is great. They don’t allow early check in even just an hour early unlike other hotels I’ve been to. They asked for a charge of 600peso each room for an early check in.

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.

We used to frequent at GoHotels (other branches) many years ago so I know that it’s a reputable hotel. But this time, COME ON. They renovated the exterior and lobby of GH Lanang to look new but the rooms are way too old. I paid 4,100+ for 2 nights and it was not worth it - TERRIBLE at that. I didn’t sleep well because of the room state and avoided using the toilet and shower as much as I could because just look at the photos and be the judge. Not only did it look bad, it also smelled bad. On my 2nd morning, I kindly requested for room service but the staff informed me that they only do room service on a guests’s 3rd day but I was only on a 3D2N stay so I figured I wasn’t qualified. I went on and requested that the CR at least be sprayed with air freshener because it was smelly (I literally told them it was smelly). They agreed this time so I expected it to have been done upon my return in the evening but unfortunately it wasn’t (still smelly when I arrived) and I didn’t bother to request again. There was no exhaust fan in the toilet - only a small window that didn’t help at all with the smell up to my last day. Note that there is no “main” CR door - only 2 separate glass doors, one for the toilet and one for the shower. So expect to smell your own poop in the entire because the doors would not hold off the smell for you, lol. You can see the sink from your bed because it was just… there. The only redeeming factor of that room was the duvet and 2 of the pillows (the pillow cases of the other 2 were old and cheap). Other small things I should note: in-room phone wasn’t working so I had to google the number and call the front desk from my mobile phone. I borrowed a flat iron and was quickly brought up to me (thank you, staff). I also requested for a towel change (just 1; there were 2) on my first night because the towels were giving off this weird smell. They quickly changed it (thank you again) but it smelled the same so maybe it was the detergent being used that smelled weird. I let it go. One of the bedside lamps had small stains that looked like blood, which freaked me out NGL. Look, I wasn’t expecting a luxurious stay. I’m a frequent traveller who even stays at smaller, unfamiliar hotels when on long trips to smaller and farther towns. But this was way too bad. I’ve stayed at many rooms like that of what I experienced with GH but I only paid 800-1,000/night so who am I to complain? With GoHotels, I expected more because it’s a Robinson’s property. Heck, Gokongwei group had an advertisement at the lobby so I expected a decent stay at bare minimum! With that experience, I will NEVER stay at ANY GoHotels again and will probably avoid Summit hotels too because it was being advertised at the lobby and I don’t wanna risk paying more money for another sub-par experience. P.S. I cannot comprehend how others have recently rated GH Lanang with 5 stars LOL

I stayed for 3 nights for about 2000 yen. As you write, I thought if I didn't ask for luxury, I would pass this price. Good point price, location in downtown center. Colonial architecture with an insta-fill courtyard pool, and stairs to insta-fill. Free breakfast with a degree of unselectable belly. You can watch CableTV on CRT TV. Good staff response. Bad point Amenities are only bath towels, bag rinse in shampoo, bag soap. No bathtub, safe, electric pot, toilet hand shower. Deluxe double has a refrigerator but fails. Pool that doesn't want to enter. No elevator (although I carried my luggage when I checked in). Wifi is good but slow. et cetera. I would like to compare other hotels or Airbnb at the same price next time I come to DVO.

This 70 + year old hotel surely exceeded my expectations. The check-in process was straight forward and simple so I quickly found myself in my room. This room was nicely furnished and newly renovated with all the standard necessary amenities. Very comfortable king sized bed with very clean sheets and pillows. A couple of bedside light switches were broken though. The bathroom was very clean, with ample supply of towels and toiletries. The dinning area where a buffet is set up was cool, smelling good and no insects flying around. The staff was very helpful and accomodating. Very attentive service. Reasonable priced food both for the buffet and ala cart menu. Enjoyed the hotel's bar at night. The Blue Moon. Drinks and karaoke. There is no swimming pool. There is a large garden where one can eat al fresco. Overall a very good experience.

Crown Regency has dipped so low on their amenities. No hot water on the shower, TV not available when we checked into the room, noisy pipes when shower turns on, TV needs to be requested on front desk, TV has 1 channel only, no indoor slippers, broken shelves. But their front desk and staff were helpfull enough. We had early check in. 6 years ago I had buffet breakfast. But now breakfast was just ala carte. We only booked the place because of the pool.

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.

When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted with a warm welcome. The front desk staff was very helpful and was always willing to assist us all the important information that we needed. Although there was no elevator at the hotel, they made sure our luggage was carried up by concierge. We couldn’t enjoy a dip in the pool during our stay because they were cleaning it, but we got some nice photos taken there! They even allowed us a slightly later ‘check out’ timing as we needed the additional rest time before our long journey to the village. The food at the hotel’s restaurant was very satisfying and the service was pleasant too and we will definitely be back to stay there again.

I found the hotel worth recommending. Front desk personnel were kind and respectful. The lobby was so colorful and conducive to guests while waiting for their designated rooms. The family room was so big and the queen beds weee soft and the pillows were clean.

Nice and safe stay. I recommend it.”

This was a day after Christmas overnight getaway for five families. We decided to take the speed boat ride to Club Samal. I would suggest that their speedboat pickup personnel would have a signboard indicating who they were going to pick up because he was just standing there while we were waiting for the ride. Had I not asked him if he was from Club Samal and would be picking us up, he would have just stood there for five minutes. I assume he was quite shy to be asking people in the pickup point since there were several groups there. The speed boat ride could get splashy especially if the waves are big. So I would suggest to wear comfortable clothes for the boat ride and get ready to get splashed. But I think it would still be better to take the boat ride than taking your vehicle and be tortured by the long cue of cars waiting to take the barge to cross to and from the island. The cue would take you about an hour or so to board and if you have kids with you the waiting time could be just too much for them to be cooped up in your vehicles. Club Samal is a plantation feel resort with a big white building. They have an olympic size four feet deep pool and a kiddie pool beside it. My seven and five year old grandkids even enjoyed the adult pool with our adult supervision because we were swimming with them. However, the beach was rocky and you need to be careful and wear aqua shoes to wade in it. I had a small foot cut because I was just wearing slippers and I was trying to protect my grand daughter from being cut by the corals. Our rooms were nice and clean, with a small verandah overlooking the pool, with toiletries, a couple of take home slippers (not the paper like complimentary slippers of some hotels), an outside laundry rack to hang your wet clothes and towels, complimentary coffee, complimentary hygiene kits of 2 face masks, alcohol and wipes and comfy beds. Sleep was pleasant because of the comfy beds and great air conditioning. I went to bed at ten pm and woke up early also. There is no WIFI in the rooms. Beside, I didn't want to disturb my sleeping companions so I have to connect at the lobby. WIFI is only available at the lobby. At 4am that could be a little bit weird. Food was okay and large enough for sharing. All in all we paid around ten thousand pesos for lunch and dinner for eight adults. You can charge it to your room and pay with a credit card when you check out. The breakfast buffet choices were quite limited. They had soup to heat your cold morning tummy but they didn't have pancakes. I don't know if they would serve it if you ask for it since I didn't ask (probably for an additional charge they would). Food service was good and prompt with staff whisking away your plates once you're done so you can hang around for some pleasant chit chat with your family or friends after your meal. But the unexpected treat came when one of the owners of Club Samal invited us and took us for a side trip (he served as

- the whole place needs a lot of TLC and upgrading. - to start with, no airconditioning nor an electric fan available at the main lobby. - we stayed at rm. 501... the room's decor was in need of upgrading, the airconditioning system needs uograding. - there are better hotels in Tagum that offers far better accommodation for price they charge. - there are no remote key/s available for the whole hotel guest so one of their staff have to run up and down the stairs every time a guest needs access to their rooms. - we have to pay for an extra bed and guess what... we have to pay for extra towel too... ridiculous👎🏼 -But the staff were lovely though.

The round hut is very classy. You will see the whole Davao Gulf iff you peek by the window. The pool's cleanliness is well-maintained. Foods are cooked and presented very well, and very delicious. Kudos to the butlers and the entire staff, who are very attentive and quick to the needs of the guests. We'll definitely visit again soon.
