The hotel is situated atop a hill, featuring stunning city views and a pool. The rooms are starting to show their age but provide a balcony overlooking the city. The service is accommodating but lacks promptness in certain areas. The location offers beautiful scenery but requires transportation for city access. The dining experience varies in quality, with a mix of local and international offerings. The facilities are satisfactory but may need some updates in the future.

My stay at the hotel was somewhat mixed. The room was just below comfortable and lacking in many basics expected in this class of hotel, but the mountain view from the 5th floor was nice, though I thought I had requested Mt view. The service was friendly and helpful, especially the front desk staff who assisted with booking activities. The location on top of a mountain offered excellent views of the city and natural surroundings. However, the dining experience was disorganized, and the food quality varied. Overall, the facilities were average.

The hotel offers relaxing rooms with separate tubs and shower areas, although they are starting to show their age and may need updating soon. The staff is friendly but could benefit from more training. The location atop a hill provides scenic views but can be inconvenient for reaching city attractions. The dining options vary from adequate to great, with affordable native delicacies. The facilities are decent but may require enhancement in the future.

My stay at the hotel was mixed. While the rooms were generally clean and located on the opposite side, overlooking the front of the hotel, there were some issues with the dining experience at the Volcanic Grill. The staff were friendly but seemed to lack proper training in handling issues. However, the hotel's service was courteous and helpful, even though there were delays in certain tasks. The location, though beautiful with views of the Majestic Mayon Volcano, was a bit isolated, requiring transportation for dining and shopping.

The hotel has a great location atop a hill with stunning views of the surrounding scenery. The friendly service provided a warm welcome, but there were communication issues between shifts. The dining experience was recommended but simple, and the facilities were satisfactory although the rooms were tired and needed refurbishment.

The hotel rooms are in dire need of renovation with ripped wallpapers, stains, and molds in the bathroom. The carpets are a mess, and the dining table located outside the toilet was not clean.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location on a hill above Legazpi city offered a great view of Mayon but made it less convenient to access shopping and dining options without a taxi. The rooms were in dire need of renovation, with various issues like ripped wallpapers, stains, and a smelly carpet. However, the dining experience was enjoyable with a variety of good food choices, and the service, despite occasional phone hang-ups, was friendly and helpful.

The hotel is situated on a hill overlooking Mt. Mayon, offering a perfect view of the volcano and the city of Legazpi. The location is superior to others in the area, although the need for transportation may be a drawback. The rooms, while in need of improvement, offer a decent stay but lack essential amenities usually found in similar class hotels. The friendly and helpful service may vary between shifts, yet the front desk staff stands out for their attention and assistance in booking activities. The dining options, though simple, include standout dishes but could benefit from better management for a more organized experience.
