Hotel Don Felipe

I stayed at Don Felipe Hotel many times in 2015. It was always my first choice for an ocean view room. The hotel has the Best View And Best Location of any hotel in Ormoc! Sitting on the balcony of your Ocean View room, eating a room service breakfast, is a real treat I enjoyed! Don Felipe Hotel is conveniently located across the street from the ferry Pier and the bus terminal. You can catch the Ocean Jet ferry to Cebu, or the Super Cat to other island locations. Rooms are large, with AC and mini-fridge. Drop you Laundry at the front desk, as Laundry service is available at very low cost. Go next door to Lorenzo's Cafe and sit on the patio for a pleasant dining experience. Mercury Drug is located right behind the hotel, for all your toiletries, bottled water, and snacks. McDonald's is in walking distance, several blocks away, and Jollibee's is a few blocks farther. You need to get a tricycle to go to Gaisano Shopping Center. Don Felipe is an older hotel that could use some upgrades. In an ocean view room, you will experience some traffic noise. For a quieter stay, try a City View room. But then there's no view! They also have some very cheap rooms in an additional wing on the first floor. I stayed in one of these rooms when the hotel was full, and no ocean view rooms were available. These rooms are small and not recommended, but they suffice if you just need a place to sleep. I always enjoyed my stay at Don Felipe, and it is still my number one choice to stay in Ormoc, because of the view and the convenient location.

Very tired and old hotel, way past it's use by date .the hotel "restaurant "was dingy and smelly food was barely edable,no cold drinks only water. The hallway to the rooms was littered with building materials and rubbish, the room we had was smelly and grubby.
