2-Star Hotels in Western Visayas, Philippines

"Hotel room doesn't have its own bathroom. Location wise it is very near the center of kalibo. Staffs are friendly. Room was clean enough. A bit of letdown was the absence of a private bathroom had to use a common one outside down the hallway."

"We stayed at La Bella Casa de Boracay during Holy Week, which is one of the busiest times on the island. Overall, it was a decent choice if you’re looking for budget-friendly accommodation. The location is quite convenient—just a short walk to the beach and close to restaurants and shops, which made it easy to get around even with the holiday crowd. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist when needed. Overall, La Bella Casa is a good option for travelers who prioritize location and affordability over high-end comfort."

"Conveniently located at Station 3, it's less noisy than Stations 1 and 2, and not directly on the beachfront. Peter, the German owner of the guesthouse, is incredibly hospitable and communicative; he'll tell and show you everything you need to know. He helps with booking tours and also arranges airport transfers, which include all fees. This is super convenient as you don't have to worry about anything. The only downside is a nearby disco, but it closes after 10 PM. I highly recommend this place to stay."

"I recently stayed at Chillax Boracay as a solo traveler, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place for my first trip to Boracay. The hotel is very budget-friendly without compromising comfort, which made my stay both affordable and enjoyable. I also had the chance to meet other travelers, which added to the experience. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone, especially those traveling solo and looking for a friendly, comfortable, and affordable place to stay."

"The location is decent, and the staff are accommodating and friendly. The hotel includes a complimentary breakfast, which is a nice perk, but it's fairly simple, so it's best not to expect a wide selection. The hotel also has a dipping pool and a gym, which are great amenities for guests. During my stay, I experienced an issue with the air conditioner leaking. After reporting it, it took some time for the staff to address the problem. They eventually had to remove the air conditioner for repairs, which allowed mosquitoes to enter the room. The staff offered to spray mosquito repellent, but I declined because the smell can trigger my asthma. Overall, Hannah Hotel is an okay place to stay. It offers good value for the price, and while there are some areas that could be improved, you generally get what you pay for."

"We chose this hotel for its location – it’s right across the road from the seaport and only 7 minutes from the airport. Perfect for a layover or an early flight, that’s a huge plus. The hotel itself is new (or recently renovated), you can tell by the paintwork and furniture. The bedding is good, the room isn't tiny, and the shower is relatively spacious. The air conditioning blows powerfully. Nearby, in the building next door, there's a Watsons (cosmetics, all sorts of useful bits and bobs) and a 7/11 across the street – handy if you've forgotten something and need it urgently. On the downside, there's the food. There are absolutely no cafes nearby. It's either a local greasy spoon with trans fats (like a local KFC) or hot dogs from 7/11. You couldn't stay here for a week, but for an overnight stay – it's fine. There's no kettle in the room. You'd think it's no big deal since there's a water cooler on the floor. BUT! The hot water in the cooler on our floor wasn't working, so we had to go down the stairs to the next floor for boiling water. A minor inconvenience, but annoying. The next downside is the water in the shower. In the evening, there's simply none. Neither cold nor hot – just a drip, as if someone decided to save money. Want to wash up after your journey? Wait until 5 AM. That's when the water pressure wakes up with the roosters. (No kidding, that's what we did!) And then there's the elevator – that's a whole other story. Folks, it's a nightmare. The elevator constantly gets stuck and breaks down. We had to lug our huge suitcases up and down the stairs from the fourth floor – that was annoying enough. But in the morning, when we needed to leave urgently for the airport, we got stuck in the elevator with our suitcases. Just like a bad movie! I have a panic fear of getting stuck, and here we were, pressed for time, and thoughts of 'what if it's for a long time?' started creeping in. Anyway, thanks for fixing it, but it left a significant bad taste. Verdict: This hotel is a one-time stay – if you need to be close to the port and the airport. But only if you're lucky with the water and the elevator doesn't decide to give you an extreme experience. Management, the elevator is no laughing matter, it's a safety issue, please take action!!"

"Excellent!"
