it's about the location and convenient to the port area and airport it's just not a best quality hotel, as if now they increase the price as it's seems not good enough for the price, no elevator no hot shower, as it is just basic over night stay
Stayed in this hotel for less than a week but I can say we are comfortable. Budget-friendly, with free breakfast. Not sure if we’re the only guests since most of the rooms in our hallway are under renovation- glad we don’t hear any noise. We had to change room on the 2nd day since the aircon in the prev. room was no longer working after a day but the transfer is not a hassle. They provided free toiletries, towels and bottled water replenished everyday.
It’s in the center of Tabaco. Several fast food chains, convenience stores, dirty market, dental clinics, malls, laundry shop, gas station are just few walks away. Below the hotel is a grocery store. You have to enter the delivery alley because the hotel entrance is at the back of the grocery store. Parking is in front of the hotel. There’s a guard 24/7 so it’s secure. It’s still a peaceful location in the heart of the city. If your priority is budget, accessibility of location and a comfortable place to stay, this might work for you.
This is an actual homestay hotel, which is located in a residential area, however, there is everything you need around, there are shops, there are some places to eat. The staff is very friendly and the view from the roof is amazing. Everything is clean.
Apihap Hotel is located in the scenic province of Albay, a region celebrated for its dramatic landscapes and rich natural beauty. The surrounding environment offers a peaceful yet vibrant setting, with local neighborhoods, small shops, and authentic Filipino eateries nearby. Guests can enjoy the relaxed provincial atmosphere while still having convenient access to essential services and transportation. Dominating the skyline is the iconic Mayon Volcano, famous for its near-perfect cone shape and breathtaking views.

Nature lovers may also visit Lignon Hill, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape and opportunities for outdoor activities. The nearby coastal areas provide refreshing sea breezes and relaxing spots to unwind. Guests can also discover local markets and cultural sites that showcase the traditions and daily life of the region. With its scenic surroundings and access to Albay’s iconic attractions, Apihap Hotel provides a comfortable base for exploration and relaxation.
Very accessible and convenient location. Malls and terminal are just walking distance. There's no Grab services though, just the local transportation service liken to Grab. As expected for Sogo Hotels, hotel staffs are courteous, not all but most of them. Thank you.
Very nice hotel! Clean and quiet. Located in Old Albay so very near fast foods, grocery, etc. They also catered to my request of a room with window :) Complete amenities so far although there is no elevator so not recommended for those with physical disabilities or seniors with gait problems.
Breakfast choices are just okay. Limited only.
Our flight was early in the morning, so we arrived at the Inn at 8 am.
1. We opted for early check in (Php100/hour)
2. But since the room type that we booked was not available, we paid for the room difference so we could rest (upgraded from double room to family room).
Cons:
1. The upgraded room had no bottled waters. In the evening of our second day, I saw one of the staff distributing bottled waters to a room with newly arrived guests. When I asked where are our bottled waters, the staff said we are supposed to received upon first night check in. I told the staff that we didn’t receive, the staff didn’t provide for our room, and just said that we can get from the water dispenser downstairs.
2. The blanket was so thin, it was as thin as the sheets NOT suitable for an airconditioned room.
3. A glass of hot water (for coffee/hot drinks/noodles purposes) costs Php5.
4. The hallway was not clean, dusty and with fallen leaves/flowers from the potted plants.
5. The shower hose leaks, we’ve been to two different rooms— but it was the same case both shower hoses were leaking so the water pressure was slow.
6. The bathroom water drains very slowly. In the two different rooms we’ve been to, it is the same case. We were assigned to two different rooms on the second level.
7. The compound has signages that it is a no-smoking zone— but it is not true. They allow guests to smoke inside. (See picture)
8. Not enough parking spaces inside. So our car was parker outside and in the adjacent lot.
Pros:
1. Clean sheets, pillow cases/ covers. Excellent white and smells clean. We also see how they diligently iron all their sheets.
2. Spacious family room. The double room was just right. It’s a bit tight for a family (with a kid) especially if you have luggages.
The place is nice. Easy to find. No hidden charges.
The staff don't know how to say no. 🫡
They will cater to your needs.
The pool is cold. I hope they will make it warm especially at night.
Some features might need maintenance. Like the CRs.
Overall, it was a really good place to stay before we went to the hot springs nearby.
There is no elevator, you can walk to the 3rd floor and there is a public market and convenience store nearby. To go to city hall or the mall, you have to take a tricycle and Grab is not used.
Very Good
