Hotel Esse Davao

The hotel has a very great location. It is at the center, very near restaurants. The room Was enough but the bathroom is very filthy. There is also a stinky smell coming from the bathroom. I tried eating here for lunch, and I would NOT recomment it. The Brekfast is okay but food is also terrible. I ordered shrimp but it seems that the shrimps are very old and has white molds. Very disappointed. The staff are great but not a value for money!

Good things - Decent room (had a good night sleep) - place seems safe with security guard in the area - haven't seen cracks on walls due to recent earthquakes Minor inconveniences: - relatively small elevator with limited capacity, (3 people with bags could actually fill the whole elevator) - food is slightly higher in price compared to its quantity served and quality Opportunity for Improvement: - enhanced communication among hotel staff and food service provider (free breakfast inclusion not accounted on one of our companions - I have to move back to the room upstairs to get money but eventually they ended up serving free breakfast since it must be included) Overall: - I'll consider this again as an option if I happen to travel to Davao.

The place is cute and comfy. It is in its primary stage since its new but still the staff and the amenities are doing great. Lobby: Upon entering the lobby, I was greeted and accommodated by Ms. Jocelyn with a big smile. Nice furnishings and clean surroundings. Room: Spacious, bed’s big, big flat screen tv, and the ambiance kinda gloomy but romantic. There’s no heater though. Cafe: Breakfast was delicious, I had Beef Tapa meal. All in all, it’s a good hotel and worth every penny.
