First night was a nightmare...we were there to relax but the staff trying to fix the horrible internet connection knocked out the electric and we had to insure screaming kids on the staff',s phone half the night as they tried to fix the electric. For both nights virtually no internet
Breakfast was ok

The only good part was the retaurant staff.They were excelent as well as the food
The staff was were not very good. Check in was a nightmare. The hotel was having issues with power and internet but the staff was more focused on their makeup than making sure the guest that were waiting were comfortable and taken care of. I used to give high praise to this hotel as I have stayed many times there. But the last two stays have been horrible as far as service. The rooms are were only low to standard. Not above as in previous stays. Within one hours time around midnight. I had to change rooms twice due to isssues with the room

Pleasant
The aircon
A hotel without wow factor
Bookings.com said they have tea and coffee facilities in the description but that’s not true
So I had to pay for a upgrade to the larger room for 25 euros per day
Breakfast was ordinary no choices
The breakfast room looks like a staff canteen and the only highlight was the male waiter who was excellent a true professional hospitality worker

It was a nice experience. The staff (Jethro), the one who ushered us to check the room was very accommodating. A quiet place to rest and very spacious which I really loved. The food is nice . Sure to book when I'm in dumaguete.

Hotel Essencia always delivers. An easy ride from the port, the hotel has ample parking, a professional staff, and that breakfast is worth every penny. Sure, it's a dated hotel, but that is what makes Essencia special.

Essencia has everything I need when visiting Dumaguete. It's a dated hotel, but that's what makes it special. Breakfast is legit and the location is near Lee Market and other restaurants. The room televisions are equipped with YouTube and other popular streaming platforms. Comfortable beds and hot shower is a plus. Professional staff and easy check-in and out.
There's a certain amount of traffic noise that should be expected, but it's not that big of a deal.

Staff was great, food was excellent and the service was 5-Star.
Worst “WiFi” I’ve ever had anywhere I’ve stayed in the last five years of traveling.

It was indeed a great experienced staying at Hotel Essencia. The food was very good. The staffs were so friendly, accommodating and helpful.
Actually everything was good except for the water heater. I don't know if there was a switch or something. I was always in a hurry so I didn't get the chance to ask for assistance. I love taking a bath with warm water. Anyway next time I'll ask for assistance.
