MNL Boutique Hostel

A few weeks back I got an invitation to stay at MNL Boutique Hostel, one of the newer, and shall I say, cooler places to stay when in Metro Manila.

the hostel’s name is quite explanatory. It’s the airport code of Manila., the gateway to the country’s numerous holiday spots and white sand paradise.

Review: GoHotels PH Tacloban

It’s clean, decent, and reasonably priced. That’s what GoHotels PH is all about. A few weeks ago, Mervin and I was in Tacloban City to cover the Christmas Festival in Palo.

I have tried the other branches of GoHotels, most recently was the GoHotelsPH Bacolod City. So more or less, I know what to expect here in their Tacloban City property.

Santa Monica Beach Resort, Dumaguete City

When I first received the invitation to travel to Dumaguete courtesy of Santa Monica Beach Resort, I got so excited. I am so thrilled to return to the City of Gentle People.

Originally we were scheduled to stay in Dumaguete for three days then move to Bohol. But plans changed. The three day escape became 5 days, complete with a signal #3 storm to more excitement to the trip.

House of Cebu: Hotel and Art Gallery rolled into one!

No, this is not a hotel. This is an art gallery! I quipped in disbelief. The hotel lobby is really lovely. Interesting pieces can be found in every corner of The House of Cebu. A new Design Hotel. It has opened its opened its doors only early this year.

The House of Cebu hotel

The hotel is owned by the Filipino and German couple May & Detlef Ernst. The story started when the couple used to travel around the world. Finally decided to settle down in Cebu and built a hotel. They brought with them art pieces and collectible items they acquired during their journey.
