Hotels Near New CITY MALL Building in Bacolod

Avenue Suites is one of the most accessible accommodations in Bacolod since it's located along Lacson Street, one of the main thoroughfares of the city. Its facilities are okay, with a nice swimming pool, a small fitness center, a lovely restaurant, etc. on the ground floor. The rooms, on the other hand, were minimalist in design, with no decors whatsoever on the walls and very limited furniture, but quite spacious and with a private toilet/shower room. They're very strict with the ”no outside food and drinks to be brought into the room” policy and yet they don't even provide guests with free water. As to the toiletries, they have a shampoo/body wash dispenser fixed on the wall of the shower box and a toothbrush with some tooth paste. Nothing more. The only thing they really have to work on is the noise on the ground floor and of some guests and staff in the corridors. The rooms have very thin walls. I was on the second floor (room 212) near the stairs and the elevators and I could practically hear all the noises outside. Hence, I suggest that you avoid booking a room on the second floor near the stairs and the elevator. By the way, breakfast was okay and hotel staff were very accommodating.

I've been staying at the Circle Inn from time to time for 12 years and there still is no hot water. The previous time I stayed there the shower knob was frozen solid. I have my doubts as to whether the management really cares or not because it's obvious that little changes. It's tiring and disappointing.

We were staying in this hotel for like 3 days last month. I thought they were just like the other hotels we have stayed at, where the employees and staff are doing well, polite, respectful to their clients, etc., but I guess I was a bit wrong. Moreover, it was my first experience from this hotel that every day we have to jump in or transfer to another room for so many reasons, and to be honest, we were integrally aggravated because we had to fix and gather our stuff again before transferring. That idea from them was too awful. Additionally, the first room that we were in was spacious, and we had our own cabinet, but when we were transferred to our rooms on the second and third days, I really didn’t like it because the room was too small; it didn’t have any cabinets or hangers to hang our clothes. We were paying the right amount of money per day, although it is very expensive and the hotel had no elevators, yet I don't know if they were providing or giving us small yet uncomfortable rooms considering that I availed of the room just like the first day that we were put into. Hence, the second and last rooms on our second and third days are really not reasonable.

This hotel is not 4 star hotel at all! I dont know what kind of criteria they are looking but this is not a 4 star hotel. The worst stay ever I had in the Philippines. The hotel itself does not have an exhaust! When it is very hot outside, they turned on the air con full blast! in the ground floor and then in the room, other than that it would feel like a sauna. So we stayed here & booked for 4 days, the second night I wanted a refund because the room was firstly cold when the aircon is turned on when its hot it feels like you're in the sauna. This is where I even got more sicker, as I could not sleep due to the loud sound of the airconditioned! It was very unpleasant! We've moved rooms 3 times in this few days when we stayed. The first room was horrible; it was on the 4th floor! It was depressing! The bathroom was not cleaned at all! It was like one of the rooms that were not used for the last 3 years, the shower head was full of rust even the bidet! I would not even try to use it to clean my bum! It was even dirtier than my bum! Disgusting! So I complained about this & they told us to move to another room which was more renovated on the 3rd floor! This time it was ok! So we said we stay here but then all the shower head was also not nice & they had to change it! At night when using the shower, it started to flood, so I had to call the reception & at midnight the technician had to fix it! The restaurant had gone downhill as well. There are many waiters and waitresses just standing there and sometimes they dont have a clue! The food was OK. But I questioned the cleanliness of it! There was once at the restaurant during breakfast when the other table was finished and the customers left, the waitress just took all the plates and glasses and also the paper placemat & replace it with a new one without even cleaning the table! Disgusting! I called the attention of them & told them that they need to clean it as there was still some dirty stuff from the other customers. So they were quick splashed it water and wipe it with cloth. We also went for lunch once and the food served was cold, we complained but they said it was made new & I asked the waiter who served it to try because it was cold, so they had to give a new set of fries! Afterwards we dont eat here anymore as I felt that the food being served or made is not fresh! At one point i felt very sick as i could not sleep very well due to the loudness of the aircon & requested for a refund, they moved us to a matrimonial bed! At first we can try but then the last few days I really became very ill! Anyhow, we spoke to the General Manager and he even apologised and also gave him some suggestions! But he told me that they are still recovering from the pandemic! I also want to add that the business room is nothing like a business room it was like a storage room for luggage and cables were everywhere with 1 computer inside & charging you ridiculous peso for printing or scanning; the

We went to the skybar for dinner with my friends. We ordered salpicao, pesto, spaghetti bolognese, and carbonara. They were well cooked and tasted pretty well for the price. We’ve been here a lot and the experience is still the same. Would highly recommend.

RedDoorz is a chain with several hotels. The casa marabella we booked is very good. The lobby is clean and the rooms are nice. Convenient transportation, near a police station

The epitome of you get what you pay for, but budget should not mean low quality, rooms are far from the pics they show, it was very small for family room standards, cobwebs, dirt on the edges & corners of the room,this shows very very poor housekeeping, should have backed out upon seeing the entrance, uncut grass, dirty facade, upon entering, you are greeted with a musty smell, also, bathrooms is as unappealing as the room, there was also the sound of something gnawing on wood, but to be fair,AC was good, WIFI fast & stable, location is very good, but sadly that's it, to the owners of this hotel, please improve, your location and pricing is hard to beat, cancelled my 2nd day coz I was concerned of my family's health, the 200 peso cancellation fee was well worth it

The room was very clean and comfy. I had an amazing stay however, I am a busy person and prefer to stay inside the room most of the time. I don't have much time in the world to go out and look for someplace to eat. I suggest you find someone to partner you in providing food for your guests especially during the night or early mornings. The staff were nice and accommodating, however, I don't feel any sincerity at all. They all look pleasant but boring, I suggest you should include in your training in teaching them to at least smile, after all, you are from the city of smiles. I was thinking they were only trying their best to be nice just for the sake of doing their jobs. They could have been more welcoming. Thank you for the excellent service though! :)

This is a slightly down-at-the-heel place that could benefit by a touch-up. Don't let that put you off though. This resort/hotel has some of the friendliest, politest, helpful staff that I have recently encountered. I ended up here after an absolutely dreadful experience at another Bacolod hotel, which I had fled after the 2nd night of a 7 night stay. This was a breath of fresh air. Literally. It's outside the city, about 200 meters off the highway, the grounds are covered in greenery and the air was actually clean-smelling. Which is something if you've ever been in Bacolod. It is a bit isolated, and I strongly recommend having the Grab Ride Hailing app on your phone as taxis don't patrol here, but there is a shopping center 0.3 km (easy, flat walk) away. The on-site restaurant is decent and it's incredibly quiet and peaceful. It's a favorite spot for weddings and receptions, but all was quiet every night of the 4 night stay by 2000 hours. Again, what makes this place a gem is the staff. Really, why do you stay at a hotel, and why do you return to a hotel again and again? It's not necessarily the chocolate on your pillow or the brand name. It's the STAFF that make your stay. This is a hotel where the staff will MAKE YOUR STAY (Sorry, had to go all Dirty Harry there). Really though, great value, peaceful, quiet. Recommended.
