Java

This might be good for Laoag, but I wouldn’t plan to spend more time here than you have to. Aircon in the room was very loud. Floors were dirty by Asian standards. Restaurant was not great. The 24-hour convenience store nearby that a previous reviewer said was helpful doesn’t have many international products.

Reserved one of the "best" rooms only to find there was no wi-fi connection. Requested a cheaper room closer to main lobby, still no wi-fi. Finally settled on a simple room as third choice. I inquired about pool access, staff asked if I wanted to use main pool. Upon further inspection noticed electrical light had been removed from its mount in the pool with wires still attached. The light with parts, had been placed in shallow end of pool. I decided not to test if there was any electrical shortages. After mentioning this to staff, they said they would ask their electrician if it was safe. At that point, the shower's hot water quit working so I left a day early. Requested ride to switch hotels, valet was rude and would not speak. This was the 2nd and last time I'll visit the Java hotel. The pictures look nice but beauty, in this case, is covering a host of problems.

This is a great hotel in Ilocos Norte! They offer complimentary hotel pick up from the airport. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They recently renovated a new wing at the end of 2024 so we got to stay in a brand new king corner room with a beautiful of the surrounding neighborhood. The location is great, just outside of the busy Laoag downtown. Felt very safe throughout our stay. It is situated right behind a gas station/convenient store, which was great to have for snacks, water, bottles, etc. Their restaurants Eagles Nest had amazing food as well, will review separately. Cons- no safe in the room to store your valuables, only get 2 small complimentary water bottles per day Overall, this hotel is excellent for the area.
