“Good location and buffet, refurbished rooms are large and clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My wife and I have stayed at the Apo View many times over the years (as we have with many other Davao hotels) and I consider that its classification should be higher. It is not as cheap as some other places, but in our view offers very good value for money. It is better than many 4-star places we've stayed at.

It's a long standing up-market Davao hotel that is being progressively refurbished. Therefore, ask for a 6th floor or other updated room.

We like it for its excellent central location, its views from upper rooms and its roomy and clean refurbished rooms. The king-sized bed we get is always very comfortable. Floor and desk staff have always been very helpful. Bathroom give-aways are extensive.

The buffet is excellent, costing PHP300 for an extensive range of western and asian breakfast items. It has a casino in the hotel and a range of entertainers are available - but that does not create any noise or other problems in the tower wing where the rooms are. The swimming pool is a favourite place for our 15-year old.

Room Tip: Ask for a 6th Floor room

“big old hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2011

person found this review helpful

This probably used to be the classiest and best hotel in davao. However, with its age, it has been left out with the other newer hotels.

Still had that classy but vintage look. So i would say it would depend on what you require. Feels like I'm in Manila Hotel. Very big but old looking.
Rooms though are properly maintained although he style is outdated.

“Old hotel, way past its prime”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We chose this hotel based on the generally-positive reviews here on TripAdvisor. We were so sorry we did. The room was small and cramped, the carpet was so frayed it was already bare in some areas, hot water was erratic - sometimes there was, other times none, old towels and bed sheets. No paper and pen. i called the front desk to ask about ziplines in Davao and she had no idea! The hotel is also far from the major tourist attractions of Davao. I regret having chosen this hotel and I will never return.

“Nice,modern restaurant, but rooms desperately need updating.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

When entering this hotel, we were impressed with the beautiful entryway, the kind and courteous staff, and the modern and clean restaurant areas. We were sorely disappointed when we entered our room; we were immediately hit by a musty smell, and the red carpeting looked incredibly dirty. The tub and shower areas also appeared to need a thorough cleaning. The room was very outdated, and it did not appear that any updates had been made in years. Wifi was available, but there was a daily charge to utilize this service.
