芬南城酒店(Ciudad Fernandina Hotel)

Good service and friendly staff! Location is cery accessible to tourist spots.

I recommend the hotel to the tourists and the locals. It was a great experience for me and the family

As always, i like Cuidad Fernandina the most!

Hotel was wonderful to stay in. Very central to the “tourist” areas - in fact you would be on the Main Street walking to the dancing fountains in under 1 minute. The hotel staff were kind, efficient and knowledgeable. We were traveling on a large motorbike which we wanted parked off road. Less than 2 minute drive - and hotel buggy to return me. At 0500 we reverse this process ! Room was clean; and had a nice bathroom. However I am 193cm(6ft 4”) and I just fitted in the bed. If you are taller … you need to check

Hotel itself was beautiful! Rooms were clean and the staff were professional. Just a small note to the staff: the bathroom we had in our room had an improperly fitted shower door. A lot of water leaks out. May I suggest installing a rubber seal on the glass edges to prevent water leaking out. It would surely improve guest experience. Thank you!

Overall, the location was the best part of our 4 day / 3 night stay. The hotel is the most beautiful building in the area, and definitely maintains it's old world charm. Here are the pro's and cons of our stay: Pros: * Location - As previously mentioned, this was the best part of our stay! The location of the hotel is within walking distance of nearly every travelers Vigan bucket list and is within 5 minutes walk of Calle Crisologo, Vigan Heritage Musem and many other attractions, restaurants and pasalubong (souvenir) shops. *Friendly Staff - Everyone that we encountered and interacted with during our stay was very polite, professional and was able to answer any questions we had. * Nostalgia - The hotel itself is beautiful, and during our stay in December was decorated for Christmas which was a bonus. The building retains so much of it's old world charm, and is definitely a lovely backdrop for your social media posts and family pics. Cons: * The rooms - We reserved 2 rooms, and both were in pretty desperate need of maintenance. Old chipped paint. Slow drainage from the toilet, sink and shower. Exhaust fan in the bathroom was present, but did not work. No wifi signal at all in our room. Did not even show up on 3 different devices. *Wifi - It was pretty much non-existent for the duration of our 4 day / 3 night stay. Our rooms were on the 2nd floor, and only 1 of them had any signal at all. The other did not have any wifi signal at all. Downstairs, when you attempt to connect to the wifi in the eating area or in the courtyard you would either receive a connection error, or when it would connect, you could only get around ~1mbps which is not really usable at all in this day in age. We notified the staff more than once of the issue, and they insisted they would have someone look at it, but the issue never got resolved. *The food - Breakfast selections are very limited, and are pretty standard for what you will find throughout the Philippines. We've come to the conclusion that it had to be the cheese that was the culprit because noone else had cheese in their dish, but I ended up getting sick with diarrhea and upset stomach around 2 hours after eating breakfast on the 2nd day. That continued for 5 days straight. I ordered the omelet with ham and cheese, toast, rice and also had a glass of their (cucumber lemonade?) on the morning that I got sick, and had eaten nothing else the night before or yet that day.

Clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. They are knowledgeable about the area. Facility is clean and well maintained.
