Hotel berhampiran Pasalubong store, Albay

My recent stay at the Lotus Blu Hotel left me thoroughly disappointed. The absence of essential amenities, including a gym and a pool, was a significant drawback. Furthermore, the quality of breakfast was subpar and did not meet expectations. Considering the price I paid, the value for money was far from fair. Adding to my dissatisfaction, the hotel did not accommodate a late check-out without additional charges, despite ongoing construction on the second floor. It was disappointing that the hotel did not make any effort to offer a free late check-out or provide compensation for the disturbance caused by the construction. Moreover, as a guest who frequently stays out early and returns very late at night due to business commitments, I had hoped for a more understanding and accommodating approach from the hotel. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Taking into account the lack of amenities, unsatisfactory breakfast, unfair pricing, inflexibility with late check-outs, and the hotel's failure to cater to my specific needs, I have decided that I will not be returning to the Lotus Blu Hotel in the future.

In spite of the previous bad reviews I booked this hotel as they were reopening which I thought meant they have improved the hotel. They should have not opened yet at this stage where they are still fixing the hotel rooms and amenities. Maybe when they're finished renovating and they're fully open, it would be a better time to stay. Stay away if you want a comfy hotel stay. There were 2 incidents of brownout during our stay, on the 2nd one they couldn't fix the problem in our room, while the other rooms had electricity. Maintenance had to go inside our room in the middle of the night. They tried to fix it but eventually had us transfer to a different room at almost 1am. Then we were hoping to sleep in, as we were tired from the previous night's issue, but at 7am the noise of drilling woke us up. Food: Disappointing food choices. They have a restaurant and a coffeeshop. Good coffee and pastries. But on the main restaurant, there were only 3 food choices in our entire 4-day stay: bicol express bagnet, sinigang bagnet and hainanese chicken. Breakfast was dismal, plated tapa/longganisa and egg, then 2nd option bread, ham, egg and sweet sausage. The taste was just okay. At one point we opted to have a breakfast buffet instead at a nearby hotel (M*r*s*n Hotel). Room: The view is definitely fantastic and our room was near the swimming pool which I appreciated. But the room is small. No trashcan in the bathroom, no hangers and laundry bags, but they promptly provided after I asked for it. No rack for towels. No hair dryer and they can't provide one when I asked for it as another guest is currently using it. The bed is not comfy, it is hard and no available room with a king-sized bed. Random noises from the work they're doing in the other rooms so you can't really relax or sleep at day time. One of the keycards kept on malfunctioning so I kept on going back to the lobby to have it reset. Others: Definitely great views and location. Wide open spaces but common areas are usually warm as the airconditioning is off on most areas. Lobby restroom appears clean but smells awful. There is no hand sanitizer or soap. Overall value: Php 5k promo rate and 7k for regular rate per night. It was not worth it. Spa: The staff and massage was great but the spa is still on the works, I even had to play music from my phone as their amenities are incomplete. They could have at least warned us that the hotel is not yet fully functional and renovated. Or they couldv'e just fixed the hotel first before having guests. Staff: The hotel staff was the gem of the hotel as they did their best in spite of the poor situation. They were kind, friendly, quick to respond and professional. Everyone was very helpful and easy to deal with.

the hotel is very basic, no cabinet, the water in the sink is very slow, had a hot water. Its kind of old and no proper meantinance, no elevator so if you had a problem climbing the stairs this is not for you. the bed is good, the sheet are already warring out the color white is now getting dark. tv reception is bad, I cannot recommend this hotel at all.

Room and amenities a bit old. But it was still comfy and their clientele service was nice. The reason I booked this hotel was because of the buffet breakfast and the pool. I always want to start my day with a healthy breakfast. The pool was convenient for my son and son's friends to swim and bond.

The room is neat and clean, and the staff are friendly. However, wifi has no signal and at night there is so much noise, you can hear from your room the ambulance and other vehicles passing by.

The service was as good or better than a 5 star hotel. The food was very tasty and we enjoyed it very much. The staff were very helpful and outgoing! We will stay in your hotel everytime we go to the province to visit my wife's family.

The place is perfect for all locations nearby markets, malls and attractions. The receptionist is nice and very accommodating. Perfect for all types of stay, solo, couples and friends.. Will definitely visit and stay at this place again.

Second time to stay. Loved the bicol express. Staff are acoomodating. Stayed for the 2nd time in the apartment type room, 2-storey facing the pool. may accommodate up to 8 pax, comfortable sleeping. Easy to access, with wide parking space.

Hôtel agréable, nous avions une chambre Deluxe, spacieuse avec une fenêtre. Le personnel est très attentif, par exemple Ils préparent un déjeuner vegan même si ce n'est pas au menu (ils mettent de la viande partout aux Philippines)
