Spacious room, though oddly shaped. It's beside a river or creek, so if it's warm or sunny, you can smell it (and it's not pleasant at all) when you open your window or go outside. Given the amenities and condition of the facilities, it seems a bit pricey for what you'd get. I'd still be okay to stay here again if needed but I think I could find another hotel with better value around the area.

Rooms were spacious. My room last week was bigger though weirdly shaped, but my room this week was still spacious. Not all the electrical outlets in the room were functioning or felt safe to use. Staff were friendly but not all were attentive or accommodating. Breakfast buffet was also so-so in terms of taste and options/variety.

Nothing massively wrong but could have been better. Hotel is looking tired. The food in the breakfast and dinner buffet was luke warm at best. The water in the shower was only just above cold. There is a lack of power outlets in the room, the only ones are on one side of the bed not useful for using laptop at the desk. On the plus side the staff were friendly and helpful.

The staff were excellent in politeness and in doing the extra mile to accomodate requests. I like the hospitality and genuine customer service. The only issue for me was that the bed sheets had stains which was very troubling.

Breakfast buffet was adequate. Bathroom needs more lighting. TV needs to be upgraded to smart tv for streaming.

Some issues but recommend for the price

Friendly staff. Great location for access to central places. Had to pay 500 pesos for a small refrigerator. Had leftovers from a restaurant and was told no food could be brought to the hotel because it has a restaurant and next time would result in a charge. I think this is a terrible policy. The TV had no signal and the staff said I could watch You Tube. I desired to watch English language news. I requested they fix this issue but they did not. In addition, a large puddle occurred in the room overnight. When I reported this the staff seemed unconcerned and stated that it had rained. Shower had so many clogged spouts it directed water all over the floor. Despite these issues, I enjoy this hotel and will stay there again if needed.

Poor assistance, with 2kids in tow and luggage, with one adult, you expect somehow they would offer some help sadly, no one did. Have to find our way to the elevator. Breakfast buffet has minimal food choices. Saving grace is, they offer coffee!

Underwhelmed with the repeat visit

The Bad
- Breakfast was SEVERELY lacking, with the food quality extremely disappointing.
- The stench of the creek beside the hotel when you step outside or swim in their pool
- Avoid the rooms facing the city/road if you're staying in a lower floor.
- There is a decrease in value for money due to their price increase.
- Plenty of items unavailable from their restaurant/room service menu.

The Good
- Room size is more than adequate, and the views to either the volcano or the city is nicer on the higher floors
- Bed is comfortable
- Laundry was crisp and clean
- Staff were polite
- Spa therapist was really good. I highly recommend their signature massage.

May reconsider staying elsewhere in the city if this does not improve.

Lovely hotel, room like Premier Inn in the U.K.

This was a great place to be based in Legazpi with a lovely outdoor pool that was warm thanks to some very sunny days. Our room looked out on the main road but this was in no way a problem and was not noisey. All the staff were warm and friendly, especially Callie who was always on duty in reception. She’s a little dog who quite happily sits on the reception desk greeting visitors. If you feel you want a change from the hotel food (which was good) you can order in from Grab but there is a charge added if your order is before 10pm. The room was spacious and clean with a very comfortable bed.

This is rated as a “4-star” hotel. At most, I’d give it a 3-star and that’s being very very generous. Bathroom wasn’t very clean and there were winged insects (flies?) in the sink. I saw that some of the work done in the room I was in was rushed too. Included breakfast was very limited and disappointing. I was expecting more since this hotel was carrying the name “Oriental” and I stayed in far better hotels that’s cheaper and have better amenities…

The staff were trying extra hard to accomodate and please guests but they felt like they were hospitality students who were in apprenticeship and didn’t know what they were doing.

Also phoned the desk from room to let them know that the WiFi wasn’t working. They said they’ll let their IT department know but no action was taken. I didn’t get a call back as well… Issue wasn’t fixed and I just resorted to using my mobile data for work.

Menu was made from a coloured bond paper that was laminated. Not to nitpick but this is supposed to be a 4-star hotel.

Dinner was lacklustre. I ordered a cheeseburger, which is really hard to screw up. What I got: overcooked and burned patty that wasn’t seasoned well. Potato chips that came with it tasted bitter like it was burned. I did like the lumpia on a positive note though.

I’d pay a little more money for a better hotel, which Legazpi City has quite a few of.

One good thing I can say us that the bed and pillows were super comfortable.

Great Job PROXY and thank you for accomodating us.

The view was great food and service was a pleasurable experience. The room was kept neat and tidy, we have been well accomodated by the staff .although we have encountered issue on the booking reservation they have made their best to assist and adress our concerns .The confirmation was not their fault i guess it was more on the App itself.

Bad customer service, bad plumbing, bathroom floor flooded, can’t use the vault because no staff would come and open the safe so I was forced to carry all my important documents and jewels everywhere I go. No towels in the room we have to go down every single night to ask for towels and on the last couple of days we just didn’t bother asking anymore. We also sat down for breakfast but 45 minutes wait still nothing so we decided to walk out and get breakfast somewhere else. Never ate breakfast again in the hotel. Will never stay in this hotel again very disappointed

The overall stay in Proxy by The Oriental Albay is fine but then we did not get notified that the pool is occupied because of a debut party. I mean part of our plan is to hangout by the pool at night but got ruined so we just stayed in the room all night instead.

The television got only one channel which is really disappointing lol

There is also some kind of unpleasant smell when we first entered the room and we extinguished it by spraying perfume.

Quick visit to Legazpi

Tried direct booking but front desk officer took long to respond so I tried using hotels.com app instead for seamless booking. Upon arrival, we noticed the warm atmosphere at the lobby due to poor airconditioning but the lobby was clean and easy to look for. We added one more room since we are 5 persons all in all. The roomy was neat and cozy which is a plus along with the spacious bathroom. We noticed the room door to be a bit thin so you can here people outside walking along the hallway. It was a satisfactory stay overall as the hotel offers good value for money with their pricing. Parking is located at the back near the pool but can be a bit crowded during weekends. Buffet is affordable

- on our first day upon entering the room can see hair on the floor
- drainage on the shower area was clogged
- hmmmm also foul odor upon entering the room only to realize it was the room attendant who assisted us
- unable to connect to the internet
- we have to transfer to another room due to unacceptable circumstances which is kind of a hassle
- on our 3rd day water supply was disrupted for hours or so so we cannot use the toilet

I like the location of this hotel which is right in the city. It has a nice pool and lounging area. The restaurant located at the ground floor of the hotel was okay too. Needs improvement though on their servings coz I found it not enough for 1 person. Also, if they’ll be using placemats for every table it should be changed every after use. During our stay we had problems with the wifi which was resolved after a good 5 hrs or so. We had a water problem too during our stay which was so annoying. We did a night swim and when we got to our room to shower, there was no water supply. They didn’t offer any solution but kept on saying, “we’re having maintenance check what the problem is. We’re sorry.” I even had to ask if we can shower at the hotel Spa, which they should’ve offered at the beginning coz we’ve been waiting for hours to have it fixed. Overall, our stay was OK. Hotel is newly built/ renovated/ modern interior. Food tasted good but needs to serve more per serving. Restaurant staff who worked during closing hours were great. Security officer and front desk personnel were courteous.
