This is a very old building, that should be either completely remodeled or torn down. How this hotel gets a high rating for anyone makes no sense. It is a very low budget place on the level of a dirtbag hostel. I would never go back. They don’t even make coffee in the restaurant. It comes to you with a cup of hot water and some instant. I actually left after the first night, even though I had paid for two.

可もなく、不可もなくというホテルだが、フィリピンの中流ホテルで、この手のホテルを探すのは、実はむずかしい。その点、ALU Hotelは、理にかなったものだと思う。前回(2019年3月)に泊まった際は部屋でのWiFi使用は難があったが、今回は改善されていた。別の筋から依頼していた車が来なかった時も、フロントが迅速に対応してくれ、感謝している。

I love its location because it's accessible and just a few meters away from the night market. :) Their staf are all very friendly and helpful. We were aloud to park our car overnight when we had to go gensan on another vehicle. The rooms are outdated but very clean. 2 bottles of water, shampoo and soap were provided.

The place was good but I am not satisfied with the second room that i had booked for m mother and my nieces. I booked a family room but it was ended of a twin bedroom. My mothers room AC was not working properly I'm a bit disappointed. The service was good ,the hotel staff was friendly and was very accommodating,during the breakfast time we encountered someone who stayed at the hotel too she told us we are not allowed for the buffet breakfast because its only for them. But its OK we can handle the situation. Good job and Have a good day!!!

I stayed at ALU Hotel because it was the venue of the Training-Workshop on Mixed Methods Research that I attended. Air conditioning is okay. The room is generally comfy. TV reception is good. The bathroom though is not spacious. Wifi is available but at times the speed is slow. The hotel staff are courteous and accommodating.

最適なホテル

ダバオ周りのバッグパッカー向けのホテルを何件か使いましたが周りの環境と部屋の快適度、通信の安定性含めて最適だと思いました。すぐ目の前がナイトマーケット、少し歩けばリーズナブルな日本料理屋、10分歩けばアポビューホテル周辺、ナイトマーケットが毎日なので静かになるのが24:00過ぎるので静かに過ごしたい人にはあんまり向かないかも。

Great Hotel Experience

Me and my husband had a great time staying at ALU Hotel. The staff were very accommodating. We had no issue or trouble checking in despite the fact that we had a super late checked-in time (1:00 am) because of the delayed flight. Food was also good and the location of the place was a big plus. Just right outside of the Hotel is the famous Roxas Boulevard where the night market is located. We definitely enjoyed the night market and we don't have to walk very far or ride a car just to get there.

Unsere Bettwaesche war total dreckig als ob da schon jemand geschlafen hat da viele lange Haare auf dem Bett und auf dem Boden. Schimmel an die decke und im Flur und ueberal Staub...und noch vieles mehr..

Hotel staffs are excellent. Free breakfast are very satisfactory. This hotel is perfect for the value I paid. My husband and I enjoyed staying in this hotel pretty much; good food; hotel staffs are cordial, honest, always at your service anytime and whatever you need. Service is amazing. The only tradeoff is the linens are little bit old and smelly but this is compensated by the great food for free breakfast and quick, honest service by the staffs. Our overall stay is quite enjoyable and we will keep coming back to stay in this hotel whenever we visit Davao. I will definitely recommend Alu Hotel for practical minded guests!

Ikke pengene værd

Hotellet var mørkt og dyster. Det var under ombygning. Vi bestilte 2 værelser udenfor vinduet på det ene sad alle aircondition anlæggene, det larmede og du kunne ikke se ud. Det andet vendte vinduet ind til et hul mellem de 2 bygninger i hotellet. Det betød der ikke kim dagslys ind.

REMARKABLE STAY AT ALU HOTEL

Hotel is located on prime location and nearby shopping area. Service of the staff is excellent, prompt and very polite. The continental breakfast was also very good and restaurant area was also very neat and clean and very hygienic. Overall lunch and dinner were also good and affordable to pocket too. When I was stayed there, at that time they are changing their elevation, but it must be nice and attractive. I strongly recommend to stay this hotel as it is very good, clean, food is hygienic, and true value for money.

nice staff/great location

Room size is ok but the washroom is quite small. It has its own restaurant on the main floor. Buffet breakfast is provided but nothing spectacular about it. Selection includes corned beef, hard boiled eggs, hotdogs and rice. The hotel is about 15 to 20 minute walk from People's Park and steps away from the night market. There are a few eateries around the area as well. We were pleased with the staff of the hotel, from the security guard all the way to the Front desk. They were all very helpful in giving us directions whenever needed. We hired the hotel van for 8 hours as we wanted to go to the Philippine Eagle Centre and Malagos Resort. Our driver was equally friendly and professional.
