Great value. Staff were nice and accommodating. Rooms were spacious enough and decently maintained. The 1$ breakfast menu add on was also very good value. Would recommend staying here if you are planning on visiting Vigan, and any nearby provinces.
I like the covenience of the breakfast meal and away from the traffic congestion of the center of the city. I did not like the unusually small room for a 2 bed format and the bathroom faucet is falling apart. Overall my stay is good since I was attending a bday event at the 5th floor function room. The front desk staff (arlene & crew) are well accommodating
Lage okay, Hotel ist gerade in Renovierung. ABER ...
Erstes Ärgernis: Nach Öffnen der Vorhänge unseres Zimmers im 1. OG - Blick auf eine Mauer vom Nachbarhaus. Wer mit faktisch fensterlosen Räumen leben kann, für den mag das okay sein. Auf einem Kreuzfahrtschiff nennt man das Innenkabine, und so wird es auch verkauft - nicht so im Hotel Lapira. So etwas hatte ich nicht erwartet.
Zweites Ärgernis: Nach dem Duschen steht das ganze Bad unter Wasser. Ein einfacher Duschvorhang würde das Problem weitgehend lösen.
Drittes Ärgernis: Vorab - Frühstück bis 09:30 Uhr, okay, wenn auch 10:00 Uhr Standard ist. Wir erschienen um 09:00 Uhr und wurden dann einem Tisch zugewiesen, alles war schon für den mittäglichen Restaurantbetrieb eingedeckt. Man hatte wohl nicht mehr mit uns gerechnet. Wir wurden dann mit lautstarker Musik (agressiver Rap) beschallt, sodass ich meine Partnerin anschreien musste. Auf meine Beschwerde wurde die Musik dann abgestellt, es folgte leise funktionale Musik.
Fazit: für das kleine Geld, dass ich bezahlt habe, war es halbwegs okay, mehr aber nicht, und nicht noch einmal.
Staff are good,rooms are very small, cannot even fully open the bathroom door because it hits the bathroom sink counter, toilet is 12 inches from the wall, if you are a big guy or gal, you will be defecating outside.The connecting restaurant was horrible.
Facilities are oudated, WiFi is terrible, cannot connect most of the time, Hotel needs pest control regularly , saw a little mouse in the room and cockroaches. So disappointed with our stay.
Hotel is quite nice. Standard room is what it is . Excellent if you just need a comfy place to sleep then spend the rest of the day out. Breakfast buffet is sumptous & serves typical Filipino brekky. Hotel wifi is not the best .... it either drops out, you can't connect or you get connected to the network but there's no internet. You're better off bringing your own pocket wifi or making usre your smartphone has data.
I'd recommend this place to friends for a stay but not a place to relax in ... that's what hotels are for.
The experience was good. The location of the hotel was not that close to the heart of the city, it was a few minutes drive. When we got there they were going through some renovations so the place was not that clean and inviting. Our room was just fine, unfortunately they also had some renovations within the floor where we stayed (it was so noisy) so they transferred us to another room. The staff was OK, though at times they are not that attentive. The breakfast they offer was great!
Had a lovely weekend at Vigan and our stay at Lapira was just great. Situated just on the outskirts of the old city, we strolled in one morning and used transport the others, not far at all. One absolute gem about the hotel is the fabulous Chinese restaurant, the food was fantastic, go at it hungry though, big portions. Finally the extremely helpful staff and the lovely owner who is there most mornings made the stay all the more pleasant. Look forward to returning. Our baby Isabelle will miss her morning cuddles from the staff :)
