Hotels in der Nähe von The Refuge, Davao

I am on my Vismin leg of trainings and Davao is my last for this week. Had a great, smooth time in Tacloban, Cebu, Bohol and this last seminar in this hotel have been very challenging so far. At the front desk, I requested for lower floor, which I normally do (due personal traumatic experience which I do not need to explain) and after a series of ”please” thank God, Kate of Front Desk stepped in and found us a room at 6th which will be ready only by 5pm. It was turned over around 6pm. In preparation for our Monday seminar, we coordinated with Rose of Banquet to ocular the place as we have a specific layout to follow that will be good for classroom set up, group dynamics and dining. When we arrived at Ruby function room, linen staff Cory was there arranging for our seminar on Monday so we rendered help in lay outing the tables and chairs, projector screen. When we had to coordinate with the technical, we requested an HDMI longer than 1 meter so laptop can rest on the tech table. Sure they have a longer one but with additional charge of P300/day. When I asked for wireless mic to be used since the activity will involve passing around of microphone among the participants, guess what? Yes, an additional P800/mic/day will be charged! So with the 3 days seminar and 1 week stay that we pre booked and paid , these little requests do not come free. I do not want to ruin my Davao stay because I am an avid fan of our former President Duterte and only have the highest respects for his place. I hope to find some pleasant things from this hotel for the remaining days of my stay here to compensate for the ugly start. Time to activate the Vision Mission which is in every room of the hotel and not just left on the brochure. A simple greeting, some genuine smiles mean a lot to every customer. So far the only staff who has a ready smile and genuinely asks how he can be of service is Jaypee, service crew of Cafe Frances. He takes time to talk with the customers and ask how they are doing and recommends the best dish. Food is great and reasonably priced -- large servings and delicious! As for the edifice, needs repairs and refurbs. We had to call in help for the A/C and busted light bulb.

We really enjoyed our last stay at this hotel before we ended our vacation. From the food and staff, by the way, special thanks for helping us with our request from the housekeeping. The room had a little bit of concern, like the set up, but sharmaine did not hesitate to help us. I was with my family at that time and will surely be back very soon.

Red planets are budget friendly room, rooms are are small but suitable for short term stays, for the price it's good value. All come with tv, shower, toilet and aircon and WiFi. No means of of making your own hot drinks, but usually have coffee shop near by. Davao red planet is in good location and staff are very friendly.

Es ist gerade geöffnet, alles ist sauber, komfortabel, ich habe sehr gemütlich gelebt. Empfehlen. Die Schwierigkeit ist, dass der Taxifahrer nicht sofort nach dem Öffnen der Tür den Platz kennen. Der Eingang ist McDonald's frei vom Auto, aber ich weiß nicht, dass es das erste Mal ist. 　Die Bequemlichkeitsgeschäfte sind 7-11 des nebenan gelegenen Krankenhauses, aber keine Alkoholgetränke. McDonald's, Joliby, Supermärkte und Apotheken sind in wenigen Minuten. Es gibt nur wenige Restaurants in der Nähe. Die Hotels der Gruppe haben keine Einrichtungen und Kühlschranke.

Das Hotel Acacia Davao war für 1 Nacht gedacht. Seitdem kam meine Familie hier ganz von Surigao del Sur. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr bequem und kinderfreundlich. Von der Sicherheit bis zum Frontbüro, Hausbetreuungspersonal für unsere Bedürfnisse in unserem Zimmer, und zu Waling-Waling-Personal und Lukfoo-Personal. Vielen Dank! Besonderes Dank an Sir Ian, Miss Prinzessin, Miss Christine, Sir Enrico, Cap Albert und Cap Harvey! Kudos!!! Die meisten empfohlenen Hotels hier in Davao ❤️

We used to frequent at GoHotels (other branches) many years ago so I know that it’s a reputable hotel. But this time, COME ON. They renovated the exterior and lobby of GH Lanang to look new but the rooms are way too old. I paid 4,100+ for 2 nights and it was not worth it - TERRIBLE at that. I didn’t sleep well because of the room state and avoided using the toilet and shower as much as I could because just look at the photos and be the judge. Not only did it look bad, it also smelled bad. On my 2nd morning, I kindly requested for room service but the staff informed me that they only do room service on a guests’s 3rd day but I was only on a 3D2N stay so I figured I wasn’t qualified. I went on and requested that the CR at least be sprayed with air freshener because it was smelly (I literally told them it was smelly). They agreed this time so I expected it to have been done upon my return in the evening but unfortunately it wasn’t (still smelly when I arrived) and I didn’t bother to request again. There was no exhaust fan in the toilet - only a small window that didn’t help at all with the smell up to my last day. Note that there is no “main” CR door - only 2 separate glass doors, one for the toilet and one for the shower. So expect to smell your own poop in the entire because the doors would not hold off the smell for you, lol. You can see the sink from your bed because it was just… there. The only redeeming factor of that room was the duvet and 2 of the pillows (the pillow cases of the other 2 were old and cheap). Other small things I should note: in-room phone wasn’t working so I had to google the number and call the front desk from my mobile phone. I borrowed a flat iron and was quickly brought up to me (thank you, staff). I also requested for a towel change (just 1; there were 2) on my first night because the towels were giving off this weird smell. They quickly changed it (thank you again) but it smelled the same so maybe it was the detergent being used that smelled weird. I let it go. One of the bedside lamps had small stains that looked like blood, which freaked me out NGL. Look, I wasn’t expecting a luxurious stay. I’m a frequent traveller who even stays at smaller, unfamiliar hotels when on long trips to smaller and farther towns. But this was way too bad. I’ve stayed at many rooms like that of what I experienced with GH but I only paid 800-1,000/night so who am I to complain? With GoHotels, I expected more because it’s a Robinson’s property. Heck, Gokongwei group had an advertisement at the lobby so I expected a decent stay at bare minimum! With that experience, I will NEVER stay at ANY GoHotels again and will probably avoid Summit hotels too because it was being advertised at the lobby and I don’t wanna risk paying more money for another sub-par experience. P.S. I cannot comprehend how others have recently rated GH Lanang with 5 stars LOL

Als wir im Hotel ankamen, wurden wir herzlich empfangen. Das Personal an der Rezeption war sehr hilfsbereit und war immer bereit, uns mit allen wichtigen Informationen zu helfen, die wir brauchten. Obwohl es im Hotel keinen Aufzug gab, sorgten sie dafür, dass unser Gepäck vom Concierge hochgetragen wurde. Wir konnten während unseres Aufenthalts kein Bad im Pool genießen, weil sie es putzten, aber wir haben dort ein paar schöne Fotos gemacht! Sie erlaubten uns sogar ein etwas späteres Auschecken, da wir die zusätzliche Ruhezeit vor unserer langen Reise ins Dorf brauchten. Das Essen im Hotelrestaurant war sehr zufriedenstellend und der Service war auch angenehm und wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder dort übernachten.

A classic hotel. A typical Philippine classic hotel like that of Pryce Plaza Hotel in Cagayan de Oro and Taal Vista in Tagaytay. It has a wide space: a compound with lawn and garden. It is an old hotel, though. You can see the years in the furnitures and amenities. But, you can go walking and nature strolling, so, overall, it's a nice, relaxing hotel resort.

Der Service im Hotel war außergewöhnlich. Es gab absolut keine Frage, die nicht rechtzeitig und mit zufriedenstellenden Ergebnissen behandelt wurde. Wir waren besonders beeindruckt, wie das Hotelpersonal unsere Bedürfnisse vorhergesagt hat. Zahlreiche Konferenzteilnehmer kommentierten die Qualität der Lebensmittel, die Qualität des Dienstes und die allgemeine positive Einstellung zu der Konferenzstelle. Besonders bemerkenswert ist die Langlebigkeit des Personals und das Gefühl der Investitionen in den Erfolg jeder Veranstaltung. Ich schlage meist Vorschläge für Verbesserungen an, aber es gibt absolut nichts, was verbessert werden könnte.
