Princess Inn Gensan by OYO Rooms

There are lots of inasal places, a barber shop, and another food and drink store downstairs, and it’s next to the BIR. The location is good, and the room costs a moderate amount, a little over a thousand a night. The bed and bathroom are a bit old, but I still came away with a positive impression.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and luckily the aircon worked. Still, for what we paid, the room felt worn and old. There was no fridge, the TV was an old tube set, and the shower looked dirty, with a head clogged by chalk from poor cleaning. We had two beds with different pillows, one nice and one as hard as a brick. Breakfast was another disappointment: just three local Filipino dishes to choose from, with only coffee or water to drink. Most guests seemed to bring their own food. It’s a budget hotel, but I’d suggest paying a little more for somewhere much better.

Decent and easy on the budget. The amenities are old but still work, except for the TV remote. Be ready to wait and check your plated breakfast order, since they sometimes mix it up with another guest’s.

The breakfast arrived cold. The aircon sounds about a decade old, buzzes so much I couldn’t sleep well, and barely cools the whole room. The TV should be replaced with an LED or Smart TV, and the channels don’t come in clearly.
