“Left behind with other hotels”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011
3
people found this review helpful

I stayed here because it's in the heart of the city and other hotels were fully occupied. This was my first time and hopefully the last. Somewhat dissapointed!! Here are my reviews...

1) Hallways going to the rooms were dark..they turned off some lights..especially when you come in late at night!!! (cost cutting???)
2) Inside the elevator was small and hot!!! No ventilation! (one of their Korean guest farted inside the elevators!!!)
3)Parking was limited..they allowed parking in the entrance if you're a high ranking city officials or some big shots of Davao City riding on Gas Guzzling Vehicle!!!
4)Security on duty..No courtesy to their Hotel Guests..

“Money value for long stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011

person found this review helpful

This is the 2nd hotel we accomodated after our first hotel in this city run out of promo for the month of August. We started our first day in August and stayed until the 18th of August.,I took a membership club that save me lots of money in staying for a longer period. I was able to save almost 50% compared if I have stayed in the other hotel for the same period. What a saving!.It`s money`s worth.But not all`s money`s wworth is an advantage.
My complaint I had is that they don``t have gym for sport, it was converted into casino.
although the other advantage is that they have a swimming pool where one can swim in privacy.
No lots of people in the pool. One can also relax by the swimming pool area in the middle of a busy city.One disadvantage is Kadayawan weeks, the lobby is quiet loud and the adjacent room is also loud due to the guests are loud and one can hear their noises. Hard for my husband to take a good sleep in the middle of the nite. They are just shouting and celebrating on the other side of the room.
The room we had was first on the 7th floor,we were surprised that we were to transfer to a lower floor on the 3rd day due to sudden airöconditioning repairs. The air-con is so loud at nite that one can barely sleep for the first 2 nites. We were transferred to the 3rd flooor but still the air-con is loud and this time the air-con is hard to control, very cold in the evening,we had to shut off the unit but since no windows can be open we have to open it again after a few minutes otherwise we run out of oxygen.The carpet also smells. Had to compalin to the housekeeping about the smell. The longer one stay the lousier is the room,the housekeeping service always forget toilettries, toilet paper, compliment coffees and towels.Glad that our vacation was over and have to leave that hotel.

“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
1
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.
