Bacolod, located in Negros Island in Central Visayas, is one of the major cities in the Philippines. It has a lot of government offices and tourist attractions that people from other islands come to visit the place. But where can travelers stay for a night to take a rest or wait for the next day for an important schedule or appointment?

Insight:
Pros:
It is known by some taxi drivers so if you came from Silay Airport or seaport behind SM Bacolod, they are familiar with it.
It has a swimming pool.
It is just one jeepney ride to Bacolod South Bus Terminal or CERES Liner South Bus terminal
Cons:
It is 2 kilometers away from Robinsons Place Bacolod for DFA passport appointment.
Also, it is streets away from Lacon St. (the main street of commercial in Bacolod)
Wifi connection was not that good when we stayed in this hotel. I do hope they have already fixed this problem.
This hotel is common for convention or events purposes. So prices are a bit high. But this is very popular to all locals whenever you are looking for a hotel. And they have budget rooms already. The place is very convenient especially during Masskara festival.
They also have good amenities and facilities like pools and spa rooms.
Additional Recommendation for Pasalubong (Food Gifts)
Bongbong’s Piaya and Barquillos
Whenever I go to Bacolod, I have to buy pasalubong from this store because I love the selections of local pastries that my family and I really enjoy eating.
I usually go to Bongbong’s Piaya and Barquillos store located near San Sebastian Cathedral and Bacolod Plaza and going to SM Bacolod along the corner of San Juan St. and Rizal St.
2. Calea Pastries
Calea’s cakes and pastries are the sweet treats of Bacolod that you should really try and might bring to your loved ones on your way back home.
Store locations:
1. just in front of L’Fisher Hotel along Lacson Street.
There are a lot of hotels that you can still choose from when you search on the websites and apps that I have mentioned. These are some that are near and accessible to Department of Foreign Affairs in Robinsons Place Bacolod.
I hope this helps!
