    Water pressure is too low in the shower so it's difficult to take a bath.

    Convenient location - walking distance to the port going to Gigantes Island

    They do charge for early check-in but in our case, they became considerate, maybe because it’s not peak season. Room is small but good enough for short stay. Also, the AC takes too long to cool the room.

    Location is great, it’s near the bus terminal and the jump off port for Gigantes tour

    A strategic jump-off location for the Gigantes islands tour with clean rooms, safe parking, and accommodating hosts. They also offer the joiners' island tour which allowed us the convenience of one-stop booking.

    Rooms wer way to small. never cleaned in the5 day I was there. Mosquito a plenty in the room be prepared to get bitten. No real eating place and facilities very poor... The lady who runs the place is only interested in your money that include the ride to the airport charging over £60 + this was diclined. And the with a bit of changing of buses cost 750 peso plus tips all in... The islands of gigantes a 5 stop tour.. The main island is full of rubbish and plastic and the food we wer offered was poor not worth the 1000 per person the other 4 wer nice

    Near the port

    I was not expecting it to be a cramped place. A bit more to fully furnish the rooms. You can smell the smell of fish coming from the port in some rooms, a nice built in freshener would be good.

    If you are staying overnight only, without kids, and for the purpose of island hopping: the location is good. The staffs and the owners are very accomodating and very pleasant.

    The restaurants nearby close very early

    Good budget place located very near the port -- just walk for 1-2 mins and you're there! My family stayed here for 2 nights. We originally booked Ludy's 1, but we were offered to transfer to Ludy's 2 the next day since there was an event with lots of very loud music. We really appreciate that we were given the chance to move as it gave us a more quiet and comfortable sleep. All the rooms we stayed in are tidy and comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and there was wifi. It's strong in some areas but you have 2-3 options to connect to. Note that this is a budget place, but it is an affordable option very near to the port. You get to save on the transpo since you can just walk to the port for your island hopping/tour. One thing to note apart from its location is how the manager/owner, Ms. Malou is very accommodating and very helpful in all your needs. She also checked on us and advised us where to eat even to the point of offering to talk to resto owners to reopen so we can eat. I also saw her helping out one of her foreign guests in ordering dinner. The other staff were also helpful and provided us some advice when we had some questions. They also arranged our tours and everything was smooth. Didn't experience any hassle and we just enjoyed the whole tour and spending time in the different islands.
