YB's Hotel Reviews

Posting this kase CF people keep asking me about hotels in Virac (kase siguro they know that i book for flights, hotel and car) so instead of sending PM's to all of them, may i post this one, but, just in case parang promotion na xa or seems like free plugging, kindly delete. that's ok. thank you.

THE CLOSEST
yes. closest to the airport is under construction pa kan naghale ako, pagluwas lang nin airport, sa highway matampadan mo yun. i don't know if open na sila now ta it hs been 6 months na wala ako sa isla.
Strength: Very convenient, beautiful, closest to the airport
Weakness: so sad during nighttime, business centers are meters/kilometers away from this

MIDTOWN INN
There's another, Midtown Inn which is located downtown, good hotel with a good parking area, clean but it's like little space lang in between cars kase maliit parking area. good security, there are HRM (hotel and resto course) apprentices from schools na nagrerender ng service. 3-4storey hotel. makikita mo virc from above. may mga ala jungle factor sa loob kase may mga kahoy, veins veins and landscape na kaloka makikita mo paakyat ng stairs.
Strength: Very convenient, centrally located,near business centers, near police station, near virac pier, nghtgigs are fantastic, bars and restos are all around the corner
Weakness: Too little parking space

RAKDELL INN
3-4 storey hotel yung rooftop kase is a resto something. dun ginawa debut ni cousin ko. from above makikita mo yung greenfields near CNHS school, moonwalk, tapos pier sa other side and yung lights from the blossoms resto and lechar grill. actually sa my port naman sandamakmak ang resto so di ka magugutom kahit turu turo ng lugaw meron xaka balut. Rakdell Inn has a spacious parking area sa labas. Bussiness centers sa baba, may magagandang receptionists. Yung rooms ya, good for the family may tv, sofa, phone etc.
Strength: Adjacent to business centers, in front of SOG bar, weeew! accoustic music plays
Weakness: Needs more furnishing

TOLLEDO'S INN
Bago pa lang to, and infairview kung you are looking for an economy hotel sobrand tipid dahil P150 a night lang, kaso, i don't recommend this for a family with US standards, soon maybe they'll be renovating para mas cozy. sa mga like me, na sobrang bargain, ako pwede na saken to. Along Century family mall lang to.
Strength: Centrally located
Weakness: Too economy, still developing

MAREM'S PENSION HOUSE
Ito ang preference ng mga artista. They always go there. Little Parking space sa loob, kalokang entrance na color blue ang reflection ng ilaw, tapos yung mga economy rooms nasa baba, yung mga air conditioned rooms nasa taas. in front of the capitol building lang to. 3-storey building, i would say ang mahal ng drinks sa loob. The room, yung economy ok lang yung airconditioned ok lang din pewo hanggang ok lang.
Strength: Near business centers
Weakness: super good nightime mo because it is near DOD bar, the best bar for me (because of friends used to perform there)yun lang kaya best, haha! for me lang.

RHAJ INN
Nasa Gogon, maganda sa front sobra, i love the style ng bubong na pakurba, sabi ko gusto ko ganun house ko sa future. your cars are secured sa loob kase may gate na wala akong nakitang guard nung umalis ako, baka meron na now (pano pala naging secure yun?) yung gate lang! that's what makes it safe. the receptionists, dapat they should be more presentable sana. the rooms, ahmmmmm........ but yun nga, i love the outside part. c",)
Strength: close to palnab/gogon church
Weakness: so far frim bars, so far from the seaside

I SUGGEST!
If I may recommend, i just forgot the name please remind me kung ano. There's one overlooking the sea na sobrang i like, you can look at their website. maganda yung place na maliit parking space pero sobrang antique something ang paligid landsxcape na simple sa labas, but i like it because it is overlooking the ocean. it is near ficelco and not just an economy hotel haller? two storey but you'll love the balcony. mahangin sobra, it'a like one ride lang going to downtown. What's the name of that hotel na nga, sorry memory gap.
Strength: overlooking a beautiful scenery
Weakness: night clubs are around! pasira ng image ng hotel ko. image kase ng place is like sentro ng mga club near ficelco, eh kapag sinabi mong dun located pangit na image pati ng hotel. not this one, when you check in, it's super mahal, and it's quoted to me in US dollars
Weakness: Katabi ng mga pulang lights

Above all, for me, Rakdell rooms stand out. family something room ata yung kinuha namin, the deluxe room ba yun? forgot ko na tabi roomtype but it was at athe 2nd floor.

Please be guided.
