Best Hotels near Davao Doctors College, Inc., Davao

The room is clean. But the ambiance is somewhat creepy. The price for the room is expensive. No Wi-Fi connection, key card not functioning. CR is above the room level (not suitable for PWDs or senior citizens). What I dislike the most is the food service. They will not serve the food in your room for whatever reasons they may have. Everything has a price even the disposable spoon and fork. Not suitable for work-related stay. You will exhaust extra resources for your comfort.

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.

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.

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.

A little dated hotel, but centrally located in the centre of Davao and very friendly staff. There is wifi in the hotel, but at the 8th floor does not work that really There are 2 lifts, one of which does not work. Now these lifts are already dated and not really big, but this was an irritation point. At the time of our visit, there was a kind of barangay congress on the 9th floor, which resulted in we had to wait a long time until the lift arrived. There is a stairs, but clearly not intended for guests. However, a great place to stay 1 or 2 nights.

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.

I booked for 4 nights but my stay was cut short because I have trouble sleeping in one of their rooms, so i decided to book with another hotel. The hotel offers a spacious room with multiple power outlets, but the WIFI is very weak. unfortunately there was no rug provided and the toilet and bath is very small.

For its price and location it is truly worth it. They had hygiene kits and towels. There was a hot shower, a table and chair, closet and hangers. The blankets were a little thin but nothing that was uncomfortable. All in all, it was a great stay!

The location of the hotel is very good. It is only 700-800 meters away from Davao City Hall. The night market barbecue is right next door. There are many shopping malls in the surrounding area. It is convenient for shopping. It is also very close to the farmer's market. The hotel customer service is friendly and the hotel restaurant is convenient for customers to rest. The shortcomings are It just cannot provide guests with an induction cooker to heat food.

I spent a night here at Davao Royal Suites. The staff here were very accomodating. Beer was cheap and the place is close to a lot of transportation terminals. The place is clean and the room was cheap. I will definitely go back here when I visit Davao. A must try is their Davao Longganisa for breakfast.
