Hotel Essencia

The room was nice and comfortable and especially the twin beds. The view from the room was good too, but spoilt somewhat by the protective glass covering getting old and discolouring and bubbling. The menu for evening meals was very good, especially for Filipino dishes, and the restaurant was lovely. The staff were always polite and helpful. The central location of this very pleasant hotel was ideal for easily getting about the city and the seafront and ferry port are within easy walking distance.

Breakfast were excellent only if you love rice or fried rice.Choices of breakfast daily are changing. Hotels are very accessible to all the malls and nearby tourist spot to visit. The housekeeper were always there to clean our rooms everyday. Would like to commend them for their hard work and all the help that they can do to make our stay comfortable.Kudos to Jonabel from the housekeeping department because she helped us from moving to the othe room because wifi is not working from the first room assignment and I really need it (wifi)to finish the report that I need to submit in my work.You guys are amazing.We are looking forward to stay here again in the future.

Stayed here for 10 nights. Staff are very kind. The cleaning lady was the best, always smiling. Must be the best hotel in dumaguete city (not talking about the resorts). 5 min walk to the boulevard, room was modern, clean and big, hot water, breakfast was enough for me. I asked for a room not facing the street and it was very quiet. Safe in the room. Underground parking for motorcycle. Would definitely come back.

The location and the room itself

The breakfast was not up to what I am accustomed to getting. But, it did do its job. The selection is very limited, I am a bit of a health freak, so I don't eat pork, and I don't like my eggs cooked with oil. The selection is super limited, but for the price of the room, you can't complain.
