Iloilo Affordable Transient - near Iloilo Airport

We stayed at this apartment 2 years ago, and returned because it has all that we need, and the owner is very good to communicate with. The accom is clean, modern & well equipped. The main reason for staying here is the close proximity to the airport. We only require a trike to transport us, and our luggage, to the airport, and trikes are very numerous and easy to access on the main road, near the accom. Btw, we arrived in Iloilo by van, and we were able to book a Grab car to drive us to the accom. The Grab driver later drove us into central Iloilo, where we enjoyed walking around, shopping and eating, till early evening. Update: major renovations going on across the road, and as a result, the mini shop is not currently active, but hubby said there was another shop near the roundabout.

We didn't see any staff whilst we were there, but just like last time, they forgot to leave us bottles of water, and this time there were no tea or coffee sachets to make a hot drink. Fortunately, we brought our own travel water filter, and used that to access drinking water, and had brought our own coffee, and condensed milk satchets. We also couldn't use the free to air tv as there were no instructions to assist us. A note for tall travelers, over 6ft, the double bed is only 6ft in length.(hubby is 6ft) and the length of the bed goes from wall to.wall, so there is no space for over hang of feet. If you're on your own, you might try sleeping diagonally.

Booked Sir Daryll's accomodation for 9 nights (we actually paid for 10, but we arrived at almost midnight of the first night hehe). Even before arriving in Iloilo, Sir Daryll was already in touch with me and was kind enough to answer my questions, in a very timely manner. The reviews and location were great, and the price was one of the cheaper ones I found - all these factors encouraged us to book the place. It was such a lovely stay! The place was well maintained and so it was clean. There were also a lot of amenities available - like the kinds you would expect at a budget hotel (Smart TV, aircon, shower with temp regulator, water kettle) and even more which you don't typically find in budget hotels (a large two-door fridge, microwave, rice cooker, induction cooker, various cooking ware and utensils). There were also complimentary teas, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, tissues, and dishwasher liquid (tho we didn't really use the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash as we brought our own hehe). All of these, made our stay really comfortable and the pictures really don't lie. The location of the place was also very convenient! It was only a few minutes from the airport (via car), and we discovered that a lot of different routes of jeeps/buses pass through directly in front of the subdivision the place is in. We weren't able to commute much because the summer heat was a bit much for us; so we ended up almost always booking Grab. Booking Grab was surprisingly easy and quick! Like, in all of our Grab bookings, a car has already confirmed and is less than 10 minutes away. We will definitely be booking Sir Daryll's place again in the future. So worth the money in all aspects! Highly recommended! P. S. The pics I included are ones taken right before we left.

There's a few minor suggestions I preferred to personally let Sir Daryll know as they are, again, minor things that can easily be remedied. At the time of writing this review, they probably have already been solved.

Poloha ideální pro brzké ranní odlety, vynikající poměr výkonu a ceny.

Pro dva byla postel relativně malá, stejně tak ložnice i pokoj. Dle fotek působí byt o dost větší. Na čistotě by se dalo také trochu zapracovat.

It was not far from the airport and that was what I was looking for. The owner was really quick answering my questions, and gave me all the important pieces of information in time. He was really a really nice guy :) Really nice stay, I recommend

Nothing

The little details - the things provided such as the quality body wash and shampoo, the amenities available such as the rice cooker, heater, and extension cord, as well as the smart TV and soft sheets. Definitely worth the price 👌🏾 There were also nearby tiangges and water refilling station where you can buy your needs.

The aircon took a bit of time to cool but we aren’t the type who is looking for a really cold room so it was tolerable. We also missed the 112 house number and ended up in a different place, but the owner was one call away and she guided us until we reached her place. I’d like to suggest lastly to have a common sink for washing dishes. I’m afraid the bathroom sink will clog up if guests will continue to wash their dishes there.

Clean and nice

The bed was too small

It was close to the airport.

It was a little bit hard to find when using google maps.

This small, modern apartment had just about everything we could have hoped for, especially at such a bargain price! Plus it was very close to the airport. The apartment owner provided great instructions, including photos, to help our taxi driver to successfully drive us to our accom, without problem. The owner was easily accessible, by messages, via the app. He was very easy to communicate with. If you have any problems at all, he will do all he can to work things out with you. Trikes are always available, and that's what we used, at a hugely affordable price, to take us and our luggage to the airport. If ever we should need accommodation near Iloilo airport, we would happily return to this lovely apartment 😊

If seeking restaurants, cafes or local shops, walking is not an option, as everything is too far away. Trikes are affordable, and regularly pass by, or you can book taxis by apps. We had heard that there was a convenience shop across the road that would be open until 8pm, but when we arrived that night, in the dark, before 6:30pm, it was not visible to us. We discovered the following morning that there was a tiny convenience store, a few metres in front of the apartment. We went to purchase milk at 8am, but the store was not yet open. It did appear to be open later that morning, but by then, we were packed and ready to head to the airport. We chatted with the shop owner, just as we were leaving to catch our plane and she explained that her home business didn't have set opening + closing hours, as she sometimes was busy with errands to be open to customers.

It is really clean and it is distant from the main highway where vehicles' noise could affect or ruin a good night's sleep. We brought uncooked "baon" and the completeness of the things needed to cook in the kitchen was really a plus factor. I'd like to stay there again. Thank you Daryll, tho' you are not around, yet you've proficiently managed a nice place to stay.

none

Highly recommendable. The place is perfect, near the airport and peaceful. The host is very friendly as well. :)

None

This is my second time booking here. It is conveniently located near the airport, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the bathroom is clean and has a shower heater. The bedroom is spacious and has a large bed. Check-in and check-out are hassle-free, and there are convenient stores nearby.

None so far

staff and owner are very helpful

insects and ants

Can’t think of anything.

Straight forward convenience A pleasure to stay there Everything required for a nights stay Beautiful clean and practical

There is nothing to dislike

all are perfect

none so far

Very good place and good price

Location but first time

Everything

Everything

We needed to do most of our business in Sta. Barbara, Iloilo, and the apartment's location was very strategic for our needs. The neighborhood was quiet in the evenings, and it was nice to experience the birds and butterflies in the vicinity. The caretaker was attentive and available to attend to our needs. Except for a TV, the apartment had what we needed for a comfortable staycation/work retreat.

The bar table and stools which served as the dining area and work station were not ergonomically designed, and were not conducive for sitting for long periods of time (much less working). It would be better if the table and chairs were of regular height and more user-friendly.

It’s clean and smells good. It felt like my home away from home. Also, Tita Olym was so nice and made sure I was comfortable. There was water in the fridge and packets of instant coffee!

The lack of near places to eat and no hot shower 🥺
