    breakfast schedule

    My recent stay at Essencia was very pleasant. The hotel offers a great breakfast selection, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. The location is perfect, with easy access to nearby restaurants and shops. The room was spacious, well-appointed, and comfortable. I particularly appreciated the fast Wi-Fi, which was essential for my work needs. Overall, great value for money.

    The hotel lacks a swimming pool.

    Convenient Location with Room for Improvement

    The location is fantastic – lots of dining options nearby, perfect for families. The staff were friendly and quick to respond, especially Clinton, who helped smooth our stay. The room needed more attention to cleanliness, but the strong Wi-Fi was a lifesaver while working remotely.

    great service
    spacious room
    elevator issues
    maintenance upgrades
    minor inconveniences

    Great staff made every request feel prioritized, from extra pillows to room service that delivers in under 15 minutes. The spacious and clean Deluxe Twin Room invited relaxation, although the property could benefit from some maintenance upgrades, especially with the elevator. Breakfast was a highlight, particularly the fish dishes, complementing the overall pleasant experience.

    comfortable rooms
    slow elevator

    Had a great time with friends at this hotel! Super convenient location, just a short walk to the university and local restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful. We visited Silliman University and the nearby parks, which were fantastic. Rooms were comfortable and clean, and the breakfast was decent. Really a good value for the price!

    One lift was under repair, which made it a bit inconvenient to get up and down. It would be nice if they could fix that.

    needs refresh

    The Deluxe Twin Room was spacious and clean, which was a huge plus. It felt really quiet, perfect for getting a good night's sleep. It just seemed like it could use some freshening up, like a little love in the decor. Not super modern, but comfy overall.

    spacious rooms
    poor service
    uncomfortable amenities

    Spacious rooms with everything you need.

    My experience at this hotel was frustrating. I arrived for a 2-night stay and found the check-in process chaotic. Despite having a reservation, they had no record of it. The room was uncomfortable with no hot water and an unhelpful staff. To top it all off, the breakfast options were limited and unappetizing.

    I truly enjoyed the hotel's chic decor and spacious lobby, which made it easy to relax. The location is perfect for seniors, as it's walking distance to many restaurants and shops without being too crowded.

    Improved elevator service would enhance the experience.

    comfy beds
    delicious breakfast
    fantastic massage
    spotty internet

    I had a great stay for 2 nights in a Deluxe Family Room, where my kids loved the comfy beds and we enjoyed the delicious breakfast buffet each morning. The spa offered fantastic massage options that really helped us unwind after a long day of exploring. The only hiccup was the spotty internet on the first day, but they fixed it right up the next day. 😊
