I expected good service, clean rooms and courteous staff. I got more. The staff are all so nice and warm. The room, though small, was adequate and had simple amenities, but was more than what I was expecting. The service is good, the food is good and presented well. the driver who picked us up in the pier made sure... More

Upon arrival, we were greeted with the standard "no rooms available except the deluxe" (this was a common trend in Thailand), so we took their deluxe for 1,050 Pesos. The room sat right on top of the road so was very noisy most of the night. It also had a collection of ants that were waiting to come out and... More

I found the staff very welcoming and helpful. They picked us up at the ferry port, gave us a very clean room and had a driver waiting to take us on the tour of Bohol. The room was spacious with 2 beds and nice bathroom and working tv. The staff works hard to keep it clean. The driver they provided... More

This hotel is located in the heart of Tagbilaran in a part that is far from appealing however convenient for flying and/or sailing out. You can go everywhere with a tricycle for just 8 PHP. The rooms are ok, What makes this hotel so special is the way people behave there. They are very proactive, friendly and value their guests.... More

Wonderful staff - very friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean and had TV, air conditioning and a great hot water shower. Excellent value for money and good location close to the port. The hotel was very accommodating in putting us up for a couple of extra nights when our ferry was cancelled due to the typhoon... More

El Portal Inn definitely made our stay in Bohol stress free! It is conveniently situated near the ports, to which they provide free pick-ups. Our room was cool and clean and the bed was very comfortable with cable channels to boot. The bathroom is also clean and quite large, complete with the essentials. The staff is very friendly and accommodating,... More

One thing that I will always remember about El Portal --aside from its good selection of meals from their menu, tasty and filling breakfast, very comfortable sleep on their soft and warm beds, TV with working cable channels, A/C is working well, and free airport pick up and drop off, is how convenient this place is as it's very close...
