Davao City's Apo View - old elegance!
Pros:

I loved the location, since this was a hotel that I knew since I was a kid, when the city was still starting. Easy access to the main streets, walking around was safe, and the streets weren't full of jeepneys like the main road.
I had a great experience with the check in, the staff was very helpful and they accommodated our request for a pool side view.

Cons:

The lobby/reception area was always super busy, and I felt like I was in a crowded mall instead of a hotel. Storage area for baggage and parcels were not fully secured, and my husband, who was waiting for his ride, couldn't even sit in any of the chairs allocated for hotel guests because of other people doing business of some sort.
I checked into this hotel for the pool, (used to swim daily years ago) and was disappointed that they haven't upgraded their shower and facilities.
Their breakfast menu was not as varied as I expected for the price we paid for the room. Comparing it to Hotel Mandaya, whose breakfast buffet had double the number of dishes, and looked fresher.

Overall it was good since it was the wedding reception 7 yrs ago….My expection was not met
Pros:

The location is in the center of the city. Very accesible.

Cons:

The breakfast buffet.. very so-so …
Davao City is well-known for the variety of fruits and yet they only serve watermelon . 😑😔😒. The foods are very limited to few. No personnel was assigned in the entrance of the buffet restaurant.

Flott hotell av d
Pros:

Stort og rent rom med en god seng og vannkoker og med litt venting så ble vannet i dusjen varmt . God frokost buffé med forskjellige retter og god mat. Hyggelig betjening og rengjøring av rommet hverdag og kort vei til et eldre kjøpesenter. Svømmebassenget var en flott plass å slappe av ved og bade . Stille og rolig plass .

Over priced for the quality of the hotel.
Pros:

The public areas of the hotel are pleasant, clean and fairly modern looking. The hotel is in a good location with restaurants, pharmacies and ATMs all within reasonable walking distance.

Cons:

The listing on Booking.com advised airport shuttle available. There was no response to my question on this from either e-mail or text communications.
Room was dark , dingy and smelled damp and musty. Bed was firm but comfortable. Mini fridge in the room but empty.
The AC unit was very cold but old and very noisy. Internet was abysmal ! Continually dropped every few minutes making it difficult to work !
Buffet dinner in the restaurant was not great. Relatively small selection available and the food was not that great. Buffet breakfast was pretty much the same . Not much of a choice and the scrambled eggs were cold !

Overall, I had a pleasant stay and would gladly come back.
Pros:

* Breakfast inclusion is always good when you check in.
* The bed is very big, with two single beds combined for the Deluxe Room.
* The staff are nice and friendly.

Cons:

* Finding the elevator is like a maze. 😅
* The lights are too dim, or maybe the room is not that spacious.
* The aircon is spitting ice (needs cleaning). Sometimes it makes noise also.
* Can't charge my phone properly. The outlets are too loose, and my charger always falls off.

Nice hotel in a central location
Pros:

The pool and the staff at the buffet.

Cons:

Too noisy because of too many events held at the hotel but did not affect our room. The ladies at the reception were not personable. Quite dismissive actually. More training to handle customer complaints.
