Vigan Hotels with Breakfast

This is the first and only museum hotel in the Philippines and it was just an amazing experience. The staff are were welcoming, the location is perfect, right around the corner from Calle Crisologo. There is a swimming pool in the centre of the hotel, but unfortunately we had bad weather during our stay and couldn’t enjoy it. The room is spacious and comfortable, and breakfast is served in “a la carte” style, instead of a buffet. Everything was just very enjoyable and Vigan is a must for visitors in the Philippines!

If you are looking for an affordable with a luxurious facilities, look no more, when in Vigan, book at Hotel Luna Annex. You will experience a classic historical view powered by modern technologies. Rooms have WiFi, Aircon, Cable TV, Vault and 5 star class bathrooms (this is for you to discover). The location of this hotel is strategically positioned near to almost all the best spots in Vigan. Price range from Php 3K+ to Php 6K+ during promo periods. Come, visit and stay at this hotel, the value of your money is worth it.

I like this hotel as the location is a plus. Very short distance to Calle Crisologo if you want to eat out. They also have their own resto in the hotel although very small. Over all i like staying in this hotel and this is well recommended!

This was our second time to visit Vigan as a family and our first time to stay at Panadores De Vigan, and we are so very glad that we did! The staff are friendly and helpful from booking all the way to our departure. They even went out of their way to find out if the local coffee shop would be open since it was a holiday when we arrived. We were greeted with warm and friendly demeanor, and we were able to check-in earlier (1245PM). It's located near some of the popular tourist spots, restaurants yet it's quiet. We also did not hear any noise coming from the other rooms or guests. Our rooms were on the second floor. They were clean, pleasant, lots of room and complete with basic amenities. The bed was comfortable, and we had the best sleep during our stay. We had a minor issue with the bathroom, but it was immediately fixed. Our breakfast was served on time as requested. Our rooms were cleaned during our stay. Just a couple of minor improvements: The water pressure in the shower could be stronger and maybe have the bathroom door fixed (we had to push it really hard for it to close). Recommendation/Suggestion: Provide a water dispenser in the room for added comfort. Two water bottles were provided for free and refilled the next day, but it would be nicer to have access to a water dispenser inside the room rather than having to buy and carry water bottles from the store whenever we went out. We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay, and I definitely recommend them especially for families and big groups. By the way, they are right across the street from the famous First Sinangloa (they're open as early as 6AM). A few blocks from the public market where we bought bagnet and longganisa for our ”pasalubong”. The parking was a big plus! They have ample parking for their guests.

Hotel Mercante was such a great part of my fun, peaceful, safe, educational, and rejuvenating stay in Vigan (Jan. 29-31, 2024). I had been skeptical at first about the 4.5 (out of 5) average rating that the hotel has received so far from Trip Advisor reviewers. After all, there are many other more popular (higher-rated and understandably higher-priced) options for accommodations in the city. But having enjoyed the Hotel Mercante experience myself, I do recommend the place for no-fuss travelers like me, who simply want a safe, clean, quiet, and efficiently run hotel. More than the basic amenities, however, there is something truly commendable about the hotel’s staff and management, with their warmth, care, and professionalism. Of course, hotel employees are trained to smile and to be polite, helpful, and efficient. But in my interactions with the Hotel Mercante team, I sensed a sincerity and an unobtrusive desire to be of assistance that is beyond the call of duty. Early on (before I had even set foot in Vigan or met anyone there in person), I had been relieved and grateful for the prompt and kind email responses I got from Hotel Mercante while I was searching online for accommodation options. I had emailed other hotels, but the responses from HM (particularly, Solenn and Sofie, Front House Associates) were not only prompt but also written in the friendliest and most professional tone. They courteously and clearly answered all my email inquiries. They were also considerate enough to offer the best room-rate options available, which meant a lot to a 60-year-old solo traveler like me. I also had fun getting some quick lessons on basic Ilocano phrases from Stan (the night guard, who welcomed me when I arrived early in the morning) and Sean (front desk officer, though perhaps his position may be higher—I met him the day I was leaving). “Agyamanak, ading!” (Thank you, young man/woman) and “ag pagna pagna” (just strolling or walking around to relax and enjoy the sights) will, from now on, be part of the limited Ilocano vocabulary close to my heart. I am also grateful to Sarah (front desk), Steve (housekeeping), Paige (Cantina Mercante), Shea, Suzy, and others whose names I wasn’t able to get. For solo travelers and for families or groups, Hotel Mercante is value for your money. But most of all, it is value for your (even more precious) time and trust. It may not be the most popular or most expensive/trendy/classy hotel in Vigan, but all I really needed was a place for homey, clean, safe, quiet, reasonably priced and very conveniently located accommodations—with excellent service and heartwarming staff. And I definitely, thankfully, got all that at Hotel Mercante.

Overall experience is very good with a few suggestions for improvement. The room rate is relatively lower. The facilities are new - freshly painted walls, spotless room, newly built restroom, cool aircon, and free parking. The staff are very friendly as well. The hotel location is still near Calle Crisologo and Plaza Burgos, less than 10 minutes walk. There is a tight road going there and after the short bridge, the vicinity becomes residential and dimly lit at night. The hotel seems newly built and still lacks a few necessities in the family room: bidet, shower heater, shower partition/curtain. The wifi signal is strong in the hallways (at room 12) but very weak inside the room. Overall, the hotel has a strong potential to be a perfect alternative to established hotels in Vigan if they can improve further.

We decided to stay here for the new year to escape Manila and the loud festivities. It was indeed quiet and that was nice. Staff was nice enough and helpful. Although at times it felt like they didn't really know what was going on most of the time. We asked if there were any new year activities planned and they said there weren't any. Which wasn't surprising since there were animals and loud noise would have scared them. But I would have at least expected some type of greeting the new year event at the restaurant for the guests. Like a small gathering and a countdown. Maybe some champagne or cider. But no. Nothing at all. There was also no explanation on the inclusions for the stay. Like how to feed the animals or tours. Nothing was offered. You had to ask them about it. The rooms were OK and clean. Comfy and the hot shower was working. But for some odd reason they didn't think to have phones in the room? You can't call the front desk or the restaurant. You have to physically walk there or call them with your own cellphone. Which was definitely frustrating. The pool was dirty. Looks nice in the pictures but there was grime and sludge in the pool. The food was so/so. So we decided not to order anything. The free breakfast was also so/so. Watery soup, watery juice, and the food itself was just pretty plain. They never fully filled the buffet area. They would only add a small amount whenever it was empty or near empty. So I was afraid that maybe if you get there a bit late they wouldn't refill the buffet and you'd be stuck with whatever was left. There was also no bread station or choices for drinks. No cereal and milk. Their free shuttle to Calle crisologo also only went up to 8pm for pick up. I mean that's like the bare minimum. That's when the fun begins really. So best to take your own vehicle instead. We didn't visit the Baluarte since it wasn't really explained to us and when we checked out we asked if it was still possible to get a tour with them and their golf carts/electric vehicles but they said no. They were charging and none was available. But honestly I think they just lied since we already checked out. So overall it was an OK stay since it was quiet and relaxing and I was with my family and kids and they enjoyed the animals. Would I stay again? Probably not unless someone else is paying. All the brochures made a big deal of the animals etc but they never really explained anything about it so it was just a regular hotel thing for me with random animals around.

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.

Great Place to stay when traveling in Vigan, particularly at Calle Crisologo. Comfortable dining area and inviting ambience. The Staffs are very helpful. Serves authentic Ilocano foods for breakfast. Will be coming back soon to this very historic place.
