Hotels Near Baluarte in Vigan

We just came back from our visit to Vigan, Ilocos Sur. I thought to write this review before I start to get busy with work and home chores:-) The whole staff starting with Jackie, Jo, and all others there, they made our stay like our true home. They are warm people, attentive to our needs, caring, and respectful. The Hotel kept their place clean and sanitized maintaining the historic cultural appearance of the place. They have warm water for bath and provided us with clean towels, and complete toiletries. Breakfast is included in the daily charge. If you want to ride a ”calesa,” Jo did a good job in finding us a beautiful horse (his name is ”Castanio”), sturdy and strong. Hotel Felicidad provided us with a list of places to see. The Hotel has its own big parking lot that is secured. They, too, have their own transportation that caters to tourists (upon request) to take them to shop around the Calle Crisologo sections. Their wi-fi has a strong signal. Not sure of a business center since we were there for a pleasure visit. It's best to visit the ”Calle Crisologo” in the late afternoon till the evening. The beauty of the historic houses reveals even more their meaning. Try to visit the Bell Tower, do not miss it! I highly recommend Hotel Felicidad to all. Its proximity is best to tourist attractions, restaurants, churches, bakeries, and many more.

The Vegan Plaza Hotel is situated in the best location - at the beginning of Calle Chrisilogo street. It is convenient and easy to get around to any place from here. The kalesa (horse and carriage) and the tricycles are located right in front of the hotel. The fountain is a 7 min walk from here and an 8 min ride to the bus station. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The staff are friendly and helpful. Anything that you requested was seen to immediately and with a smile. Breakfast was ok, there should be more variety. They provide in room massage which was great. They have 2 restaurants which provides a a variety of local dishes. Bathroom is little small in size, however, the shower was awesome. This is a very good hotel and I would certainly stay here again when I come to Vigan. Wonderful stay.

You have to be alert to spot the location of this hotel. Aside from a big sign with its name all you can see is an old house. You have to enter a gate at the back of the old house where you will find this hotel. The 24 hour reception desk is located at the foot of the steps leading to the rooms. Its more like an apartment complex with studio apartments The rooms are pretty basic and worth what we paid for which was below Php 2k.If you just want an inexpensive place to lie your head down after visiting Vigan this place might suit you.DONT EXPECT TOO MUCH!

The stay was good. The room is very cozy. They accepted us even its very early for us to check in in the morning.

Nice and clean hotel,overlooking of bell tower church,only thing is the water from shower is not so strong enough,for a rush shower

Me and a friend stayed there for one day and we thought we wont need to buy a toothpaste and soap but we had to coz they only provided one tiny toothpaste and one tiny tube of 3 in 1 shampoo/soap/conditioner. Not enough for two persons who will take a bath twice a day and brush their teeth twice also. Their blanket is small also for two thin body adults. Its like their blanket is only for 1 person same with their toothpaste and 3in1 soap. If you want another blanket you have to pay

I stayed at Le Dream Hotel when it was first open. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They made sure to cater to my every needs. The rooms were very luxurious and comfortable and the air conditioning was heavenly in the Philippines hot weather. Also, super comfortable pillows and blankets! Lastly, the food and drinks were amazing and super fresh. Would definitely recommend going here for your next Vigan stay!

Approachable staff good service and fancy accomodation..the management is well prepared for all of there guest and they served what you want the food is good and very clean rooms that would love you to stay..

it was raining hard when we reached this place and the parking area was starting to get flooded. there was no staff to welcome the guests or offer umbrellas to shield us from the downpour. the hotel is not within the city of vigan. we were ushered to our room by one hotel helper who assisted us with our luggages. courteous and jolly guy. food was typically done the ilocano way. i'm used to the taste and the way it was presented. what i'm very particular about was the repetitive banana being offered for dessert, either boiled, caramelised or served very ripe. our towels were never replaced for the 4D/3N we stayed. they just assumed we didn't care since we didn't bother to request for a new set. the telephone in our room has no dial tone. the bathroom exudes an unpleasant smell at a particular hour at night. but overall, we felt welcomed as we stayed longer. we were allowed beyond the time to continue with our socials. the staff just let us be while singing our hearts out. they were very kind and understanding when we ask for small favors from time to time. might stay here again next time.

The best thing about the hotel is its serenity and long distance from the bustle of the nearby Vigan. The staff are courteous, always wearing smile, and helpful. The plated breakfast is fine. You can see the nearby beach from where the restaurant is. But when I was there, the alfresco rooftop area was closed. It is not the nearest hotel to the beach. You have to walk for 10minutes to get to the beach. The plus point is its hotel. It’s located adjacent to the house of the owner but the staff explained to me that it’s fine to use it because it’s one of the amenities of the hotel. The downside is the transportation from Vigan. If you do not have a car, you are left with the tricycles. The drivers are not the most honest about the fare. When you ask them, they will tell you as low as 100pesos to as high as 150pesos. So be mindful. Better ask the driver before you take the ride. I can recommend it to friends and families with cars but not fellow backpackers and solo travelers without a car.
