La Casa Blanca de Vigan Hotel

perfect....

This is a newly renovated hotel on 4 levels in the old city centre and is a bit of an oasis! The foyer is clean, light and bright gives a great first impression. The corridors on each level have tiled floors and are clean and well maintained . The rooms are spacious and very clean and the airon works perfectly as does the TV with some international chanels available. At the roof top there is a rather nice small swimming pool and a great spacious rooftop bar serving food and drinks. The area could perhaps benefit from some sun umbrellas in the daytime but is lovely and cool in the evenings. The ground floor restaurant is clean and serves very good local food. The staff throughout the hotel are very polite and accomodating and appear to be better trained than the average. All round this is very comfortable！

The Casa Blanca Hotel is a beautiful building which is surely one of the best places to stay in Vigan City. Sadly the service at the Skybar was some of the worst I have experienced in almost 7 years in the Philippines. Disinterested staff didn’t dampen a lovely location and I would urge the management to get your act together especially with Holy Week starting in a few days.

Fresh from our drive to Banaue & Batad Rice Terraces and the Halsema Highway, we decided to drive to Ilocos Sur to relax. Bessang Pass was quite the adventure. Anyway, Vigan it was. Without prior reservations we chanced upon cafe evelyn and decided to check the hotel. We were given a quick look at the property which looked old but somehow new. We found out from our host Ivon that they had just opened in November of 2022. Knowing my wife, no other hotel would do after the tour. We decided to stay and booked the Governors Suite. * its a bit pricey. 15,000+ pesos for 2 adults * you get a welcome drink. It was delicious. * 1,400 pesos for each additional person over 13 * 12 and under stay free but no free breakfast * breakfast was 450 pesos. Filipino, American & Continental were the choices. It was worth the price. Coffee and Juice comes with breakfast. @cafe evelyn * The latte was very good especially with the "balikutsa" sweetener. Dont mistake it for a cookie. Drop it all in the cup. * Hotel is right on Calle Crisologo. The main entrance is on the parallel road. No motor vehicles are allowed on CC. Just horse drawn kalesas. * Rooftop bar and restaurant had very Good Big City Vibes. * 4th floor rooftop elevator ends at the 3rd floor. Stairs to go up the rooftop bar and pool.Not wc accesible (yet)' * infinity pool was small but sufficient. I was the only user when i swam. January is cold for Filipinos. * the food was tasty but my sizzling squid and gambas arrived no longer sizzling, no longer hot. * the crowd was light and the music was slow cafe type. Perfect for that windy full moon night. * the room was clean. The beds were quite comfortable. The pillows alone were worth the price of the room. Imo. * sufficient towels. The sofa in the room can be made into a futon. 3 grown children fit in the adjacent living room. * the comforters were comfortable with the strong AC * the bathrooms were immaculate. Needs more hanging fixtures for towels etc. * the bathtubs and fixtures were kohler ( from wisconsin ) * mini fridge was working. The flat screens were huge. One was 75 inches one was 55. ( ONLY ONE REMOTE ) why? *ample amenity kits. * comfortable robes. * hotel slippers could be better. * water pressure was good. Hot water was always available * my Amex Platinum did not go through, i had to pay with VISA. Even though it clearly showed the Amex logo on their Front Desk sign with BDO and other cards. This cost me a transaction fee of 2% on top of my bill. * staff was very friendly and helpful. Shout out to emil who helped with our bags & veggies from bontoc. * the lobby was quaint but lacking some character. The lobby and the tiles i really liked. * no restroom sign on the main lobby. * doors to calle crisologo closed at night which makes no sense since it showcases the main attraction. One door should at least stay open and accesible for hotel guests so no need to go around the hotel from the main entrance to calle crisologo. * happy hours. Unlimited beer and cocktails for a fixed price * I WOULD STAY HERE AGAIN. I WOULD ALSO HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. Amex better work next time.

This is a beautiful hotel located on the famous Calle Crisologo. The rooms are all newly refurbished and exceptionally clean and well appointed. The staff are outstanding, nothing is too much trouble, they made us feel very welcome and were extremely helpful. The wifi is very good in the hotel except in the corner room 308, however the staff moved us to a different room and were very helpful… no problems at all after moving rooms. The pool is really nice and so is the roof top bar. Breakfast is provided at Cafe Evelyn (in front of the hotel), this was the only downside, the buffet was parlous and the staff in the cafe were not interested in any form of customer service. The cafe doesn’t appear very clean either. Just book the hotel and don’t choose an included breakfast…just about every other place in Vigan is better than the breakfast you get at Cafe Evelyn. Overall this is a great hotel and highly recommended
