If you are looking for a pleasant stay in the city of Smiles, this would be it! They have great service, nice rooms at a price that won't make your purse go bankrupt!

The quality of the room (deluxe) for the price makes Circle Inn the best possible value in Bacolod in my opinion, though stay away from the Executive Suite. The room smells of mildew and mold, the A/C is not great, and the carpet is so dreadful it should be condemned as a toxic health hazzard! It is absolutely DISGUSTING! The other negative is the service. It is abysmal! You will never guess that Bacolod is the "City of Smiles" from the girls who work at the front desk. They are insincere and at times down-right RUDE! And very uninformed, which makes it a pretty dismal combination...The boys who work in the cafe are much nicer, but the service is awful. I have sat there waiting for service, with no other customers present, while three waiters chatted away without even acknowledging my existence! It's so absurd it's a joke! But this is par for Third-World countries in my experience... India is even WORSE! Anyway, all things considered, the room is well worth it. And don't let the location bother you. For $1, you can get just about anywhere you need in about 5 minutes. It's worth it.

I find this hotel really nice. It's clean and the rates are reasonable. Booked a standard deluxe room and that includes a double sized bed, a cable TV, a study area, a mirror, a cabinet, a clean toilet. It's worth the price. Paid 980 and we were 3 people. Good deal!

Went to Bacolod for an off-site event and stayed 2 nights in a twin room. I was shocked when I got a call from my client when they said I will stay in an "O Hotel." The sexual connotation kind of led me to believe it was a motel.

It was my first time here and I was mostly busy for work but here are my two cents:

O Hotel is good overall. They have a big parking space in front of the hotel, there are circular windows (so you know you won't miss the place) and interiors of the place are quite modern. Location-wise, it's near Robinson's Mall, Kuppa Coffee Shop and their park. (Bacolod's city center is quite small and everything is near). I guess the immediate down side is they don't have an elevator.

The room I stayed in was really nice. Nice white sheets and soft pillows, bathroom was good as well. I love that they have wifi access in the room, plus they had tasteful block-out curtains (which was perfect because the business trip left me sleepless).

The service was good as well. I kept bugging front desk about local phone numbers, a wake up call, directions and taxi service and for all, they were very helpful.

The down side would be the buffet breakfast. I went to have breakfast 30 minutes before the cut-off and most of the entrees were already finished off. There were also some big flies that were buzzing about and hovering over my food which grossed me out.

Also one of my clients who also stayed in the hotel complained that he could not sleep because they were renovating the pool at the time.
