Hotel is good. No need to advertise the free breakfast.
Pros:

Breakfast was horrible but the hotel itself is great.

Cons:

The breakfast was tiny, tasteless, and did not add value to the hotel experience.

Disappointing
Pros:

Fairly well located, with night market practically outside the front door. Reception staff very friendly and courteous.

Cons:

Hotel is worn down. A/C in room was incredibly noisy. Bathroom too small, toilet leaking water on to the floor, and worst of all, I had to clean urine stains off the toilet seat upon my arrival.

Back to Alu Hotel Davao City
Pros:

At long last , back to Davao City, now with friends! The hotel has improved its services since last time I was there.
Same friendly smiles from the lovely staff. They have complete toiletries now, so aside from toothbrush and toothpaste, they provide shampoo, lotion, showercaps etc in neat boxes.
They served breakfast and ala carte meals through out evening! Being a small hotel with big enough rooms is comforting! Just a few walk from hotel is the nightmarket which is as usual very organized and secured. From there we binged on grilled food, durian and durian icecream, pomelo free taste too!

I don't think we can call this a hotel
Pros:

This could fall under the category of a lodging house, instead. Rooms are old and would need renovation. I understand why they wanted to reinforce a no-food/drink policy in the room because it seems there are ants already living in the room. Even without food and drinks, they are on the table. Sheets and towels are no longer white. Limited cable channels. Typical for a lodging house, but not for a 'hotel. One strong push at the door and it immediately opens even when locked.

I appreciate the friendliness of the staff. But I don't appreciate the overpriced menu at their restaurant and asking us to pay P25 for a cup of hot water.

Wi-fi signal is strong.

Busy & Delicious Davao
Pros:

The hotel was located in downtown Davao. It was easy to locate and it was convenient to take the public transportation to go around downtown Davao.

The hotel had modest amenities. It was clean and the aircon was cool. The buffet breakfast was ok but travellers can opt to take his/her breakfast outside the hotel.

The hotel is located right smack in the Davao Night Market with restaurants (big and small) dotting both sides of the street.

Nice Place needs renovation
Pros:

The cost was fair and the location was good. The halls can be very noisy and the rooms need a renovation. For breakfast we were only allowed certain meals. The live music at dinner was nice , but very loud.

Great location
Pros:

Well maintained small hotel that is located in the heart of Davao city. Night market is open every night starting from 6pm onwards. And it’s just a few step outside the hotel.
Room was good but it need but it need additional facilities like sleepers, bathrobe, and hair dryer. It was tidy and everything you can see inside just basic. Bathroom need a good scrub.
When it come to foods, it’s wast disgusting. No taste at all specially their omelette. and they serve you just a toast bread, no butter or nothing. Chef need more training on how to cook breakfast.
But it’s just a cheap hotel, you will got
What you paid for.

Good for its price!
Pros:

I stayed in the hotel with my family. The location is very ideal and great. It is few walks away from the night market. The food was okay too. The room given to us very clean and comfortable. We will stay again in this hotel once we return back to Davao.

Decent hotel
Pros:

Right in center of Davao City. On Roxas. Get the junior room not the standard. Junior is bigger room and has a fridge. Standard doesn’t. WiFi is pretty good and free breakfast is not bad. I’d stay here again

Location location!
Pros:

We stayed here for one night before heading back to Cebu City.

I booked this hotel using the travelbook app and I was really glad because I still had points left so what I did is I used the points and only paid like maybe 20 pesos upon arrival. The hotel staff during that time was really shocked to know that I had some points to use and I only paid 20 pesos. Im so happy I have that app. They even had a buffet for breakfast! :)

I really loved the location! It was near the night market!

On the 6th floor, you can see the night market from up there.

Rooms are small but bed was very comfortable. We had 2 single beds, a tv and a beautiful view.

Will I be back? Yes yes yes!!!

Great Budget Hotel
Pros:

Hotel is small, 6 floors but with elevator. The building and room looks old but well maintained. Our room is basic, with soft comfy bed, hot shower, and cable tv.

The hotel staff are very nice too. Always accomodating.

The room comes with free breakfast. I think they have buffet during weekends and plated breakfast on weekdays. The food at their cafe is above average. Definitely a must try and not expensive like what you expect on hotel cafe’s.

The location is also perfect. Just literally a few steps away is the roxas night market. I highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing dining area
Pros:

Hotel is just okay for the price. The dining area is very nice despite its limited space. I must say they made good use of their space. The staff are nice and accommodating, too. The rooms are good. The street where this hotel is located is a busy one esp at night.

You will definitely feel at home in this place. The staff are friendly. The location is awesome. The food is okay for me (not the best), but I have no issues because the prices are actually great! If you want a place with great location and within your budget, pick this place.

Convenient place to stay and very accommodating staff
Pros:

we found this hotel through travelbook and got a cheaper price than their published rates..we stayed here for two nights. This hotel is conveniently located along roxas ave. so many jeepneys pass through there.. sign boards are no longer allowed in davao so better ask the driver if they'll pass roxas ave. before boarding one..
The hotel staff and davaoenos in general are friendly and very helpful and we got to almost all of our destinations through public transportation (so yey for big savings!).
Airconditioning was good. Wifi was also good. Buffet breakfast food was meh for me-there's a carenderia outside if you want other food choices..
Our flight back was early in the morning, and the staff packed our day 2 breakfast for us-yummy bacon and eggs.. anyway i really enjoyed my 2.5-days davao trip.

OK but has some problems.
Pros:

The staff are very friendly and helpful. They saved us a lot of pesos by stepping in when the Taxi driver wanted to rip us off for a short trip to the ferry. The air conditioning is very good! The bed and mattress is very soft and hurt my back after one night.
