維甘Penshoppe附近住宿

Hotel Mercante was such a great part of my fun, peaceful, safe, educational, and rejuvenating stay in Vigan (Jan. 29-31, 2024). I had been skeptical at first about the 4.5 (out of 5) average rating that the hotel has received so far from Trip Advisor reviewers. After all, there are many other more popular (higher-rated and understandably higher-priced) options for accommodations in the city. But having enjoyed the Hotel Mercante experience myself, I do recommend the place for no-fuss travelers like me, who simply want a safe, clean, quiet, and efficiently run hotel. More than the basic amenities, however, there is something truly commendable about the hotel’s staff and management, with their warmth, care, and professionalism. Of course, hotel employees are trained to smile and to be polite, helpful, and efficient. But in my interactions with the Hotel Mercante team, I sensed a sincerity and an unobtrusive desire to be of assistance that is beyond the call of duty. Early on (before I had even set foot in Vigan or met anyone there in person), I had been relieved and grateful for the prompt and kind email responses I got from Hotel Mercante while I was searching online for accommodation options. I had emailed other hotels, but the responses from HM (particularly, Solenn and Sofie, Front House Associates) were not only prompt but also written in the friendliest and most professional tone. They courteously and clearly answered all my email inquiries. They were also considerate enough to offer the best room-rate options available, which meant a lot to a 60-year-old solo traveler like me. I also had fun getting some quick lessons on basic Ilocano phrases from Stan (the night guard, who welcomed me when I arrived early in the morning) and Sean (front desk officer, though perhaps his position may be higher—I met him the day I was leaving). “Agyamanak, ading!” (Thank you, young man/woman) and “ag pagna pagna” (just strolling or walking around to relax and enjoy the sights) will, from now on, be part of the limited Ilocano vocabulary close to my heart. I am also grateful to Sarah (front desk), Steve (housekeeping), Paige (Cantina Mercante), Shea, Suzy, and others whose names I wasn’t able to get. For solo travelers and for families or groups, Hotel Mercante is value for your money. But most of all, it is value for your (even more precious) time and trust. It may not be the most popular or most expensive/trendy/classy hotel in Vigan, but all I really needed was a place for homey, clean, safe, quiet, reasonably priced and very conveniently located accommodations—with excellent service and heartwarming staff. And I definitely, thankfully, got all that at Hotel Mercante.

我真的很喜歡這家酒店,雖然一開始有點難找,但有些人不知道這家酒店,發現這只是新酒店。但最終我們想通了,我們看到了街道標誌Calle Jacinto。房間乾淨,有浴巾,液體肥皂,牙刷,瓶裝水。我們到達酒店時保羅很包容。二樓客廳區周圍有一些裝飾畫。雖然可以聞到新油漆的味道,但既然我喜歡畫,所以我真的不介意。離著名的Calle Crisologo步行距離。我們走來走去,晚上看著名的舞蹈噴泉,我們沒有困難回到酒店,因爲它就在附近。我們房間裏遇到的唯一問題是馬桶有一些問題,但我們和梅格女士的主管交談過,他們肯定會盡快解決這個問題。他們供應套餐早餐,你只需要選擇你喜歡吃哪一種咖啡或果汁。總的來說,我們的住宿令人滿意,強烈推薦這家酒店。

We just came back from our visit to Vigan, Ilocos Sur. I thought to write this review before I start to get busy with work and home chores:-) The whole staff starting with Jackie, Jo, and all others there, they made our stay like our true home. They are warm people, attentive to our needs, caring, and respectful. The Hotel kept their place clean and sanitized maintaining the historic cultural appearance of the place. They have warm water for bath and provided us with clean towels, and complete toiletries. Breakfast is included in the daily charge. If you want to ride a ”calesa,” Jo did a good job in finding us a beautiful horse (his name is ”Castanio”), sturdy and strong. Hotel Felicidad provided us with a list of places to see. The Hotel has its own big parking lot that is secured. They, too, have their own transportation that caters to tourists (upon request) to take them to shop around the Calle Crisologo sections. Their wi-fi has a strong signal. Not sure of a business center since we were there for a pleasure visit. It's best to visit the ”Calle Crisologo” in the late afternoon till the evening. The beauty of the historic houses reveals even more their meaning. Try to visit the Bell Tower, do not miss it! I highly recommend Hotel Felicidad to all. Its proximity is best to tourist attractions, restaurants, churches, bakeries, and many more.

I might have given 3.5 stars if that was possible. There are lots of good things and a few that are not so good. Firstly, the hotel is within the old city area and the staff were charming and helpful. The building is lovely outside and mostly inside too although the layout is a bit weird. For example, you have to walk through the end of one of a dinning room to get from the front door to the area with the sleeping rooms. I guess that is the sort of thing that happens when repurposing older building and it was not a big deal. The sleeping rooms are set over several stories around an atrium that contains the swimming pool. It is a lovely pool but was quite cold because the building blocks most direct sunlight. I was there in winter but expect that this is not an issue in the hotter months of the year. Getting a pool towel involves signing a form that is then taken to the front desk that then requests the towel be delivered to the pool area by one of the other staff. All a bit too complicated. From the same area it is possible to take an extra staircase up to a rooftop bar that was only open in the evening but gave a nice view across the roofs of the city. The hotel seemed quite empty and I was the only person at the rooftop both nights when I visited. My room was small but reasonably well set out with a comfortable bed, very nice shower and good a/c. I didn't appreciate the weird Japanese style toilet with a control panel on the wall. I also didn't like the only window being at the front onto the walkway meaning other guests walked past and the curtains always had to be closed for privacy. I also hated the internet system which required that the TV was switched on for the wifi to function in the room. Outside by the pool and elsewhere there were 2 other systems with a different password or voucher code, both of which dropped the connection often. The first day there was a buffet breakfast which I took but found very overpriced especially as the coffee was the worst that I have had in years. No breakfast was available the other days, probably because there were so few guests. I had dinner one night. There was no English language menu and the waitress who was lovely explained that many (most?) of the dishes were intended for multiple people. In the end she brought me something that was suitable for one consisting of fairly plain grilled meat but so nicely presented that I didn't mind. Overall, the hotel was well priced, close to the pedestrian streets and main square and good enough for a few nights.

如果你想買一個豪華的設施,那就不要在維根酒店裏找了。你會體驗到現代技術驅動的經典歷史景觀。房間有WiFi、空調、有線電視、Vault和5星級浴室(這是供您發現的)。這家酒店的位置具有戰略地位,靠近維根幾乎所有的最佳景點。促銷期間價格範圍從Php3K+到Php6K+。來,參觀,入住這家酒店,你錢的價值就值了。

和家人一起住的好地方,我們最喜歡的是寵物友好。牀很軟很舒服,他們的自助早餐很好吃。老闆很包容,工作人員很樂於助人。步行到Calle Crisologo一個2-3分鐘。我們一定會回來的,謝謝。

我喜歡這家酒店,因爲位置是一個加分點。如果你想出去吃飯,到Calle Crisologo非常短的距離。他們在酒店也有自己的餐廳,雖然很小。 總之,我喜歡住在這家酒店,這是很好的推薦!

The hotel is nestled in the heart of Vigan, with one side facing the infamous Calle Crisologo (a historic cobblestone street and walking area). It has a charming rooftop pool and bar. Its interior reflects the beauty of Spanish art. The intricate details and warm colors transport you to a bygone era, creating a unique blend of old-world charm and modern comfort. The hotel’s common areas and rooms are impeccably clean, and the staff’s warm hospitality create a welcoming a**osphere that makes you feel right at home.

I stayed at Le Dream Hotel when it was first open. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They made sure to cater to my every needs. The rooms were very luxurious and comfortable and the air conditioning was heavenly in the Philippines hot weather. Also, super comfortable pillows and blankets! Lastly, the food and drinks were amazing and super fresh. Would definitely recommend going here for your next Vigan stay!

We decided to stay here for the new year to escape Manila and the loud festivities. It was indeed quiet and that was nice. Staff was nice enough and helpful. Although at times it felt like they didn't really know what was going on most of the time. We asked if there were any new year activities planned and they said there weren't any. Which wasn't surprising since there were animals and loud noise would have scared them. But I would have at least expected some type of greeting the new year event at the restaurant for the guests. Like a small gathering and a countdown. Maybe some champagne or cider. But no. Nothing at all. There was also no explanation on the inclusions for the stay. Like how to feed the animals or tours. Nothing was offered. You had to ask them about it. The rooms were OK and clean. Comfy and the hot shower was working. But for some odd reason they didn't think to have phones in the room? You can't call the front desk or the restaurant. You have to physically walk there or call them with your own cellphone. Which was definitely frustrating. The pool was dirty. Looks nice in the pictures but there was grime and sludge in the pool. The food was so/so. So we decided not to order anything. The free breakfast was also so/so. Watery soup, watery juice, and the food itself was just pretty plain. They never fully filled the buffet area. They would only add a small amount whenever it was empty or near empty. So I was afraid that maybe if you get there a bit late they wouldn't refill the buffet and you'd be stuck with whatever was left. There was also no bread station or choices for drinks. No cereal and milk. Their free shuttle to Calle crisologo also only went up to 8pm for pick up. I mean that's like the bare minimum. That's when the fun begins really. So best to take your own vehicle instead. We didn't visit the Baluarte since it wasn't really explained to us and when we checked out we asked if it was still possible to get a tour with them and their golf carts/electric vehicles but they said no. They were charging and none was available. But honestly I think they just lied since we already checked out. So overall it was an OK stay since it was quiet and relaxing and I was with my family and kids and they enjoyed the animals. Would I stay again? Probably not unless someone else is paying. All the brochures made a big deal of the animals etc but they never really explained anything about it so it was just a regular hotel thing for me with random animals around.
