The Junior Suite Room at Fersal Hotel Palawan

The independent city of Puerto Princesa has developed quite well to cater to the booming tourist magnet that is Palawan. After a number of international publications have thrown high praises to the island’s many stunning natural wonders, Palawan has gotten a steady growth of tourist coming in. Major hotels now stand to cater to different segments. And one easy access just coming out of the Puerto Princesa International Airport is Fersal Hotel Puerto Princesa branch. It’s so close I just walked to the exit with my baggage and crossed the street to get there. How convenient.

We Mean Business

Fersal Hotel Puerto Princesa is one of its many chain branches in the country. One common key aspect from all their hotels is their location which is conveniently located to business districts and establishments. Fersal Hotel Puerto Princesa is no different. It’s just outside the airport along Rizal Avenue extension, the most happening area in the city with most of the businesses and popular eating establishments are found.

The hotel is a five-story building. The hotel restaurant, Inn Cafe is at the ground floor along with offices for a travel agent and a small spa. I really like the native decorations at their lobby. Second floor has a conference room, a small patio, and a basic gym. The main rooms are at the third floor up. I like that there’s a secured door at the second floor stairway leading to the third floor that only room key holders can access. The common area each floor also has a hot water dispenser which is a nice touch. I could also see a lot of routers strategically placed within the building to enable WiFi access to most areas of the hotel. I did find their WiFi reliably fast which is a must to any hotels leaned towards business travelers.

The Inn Cafe

Inn Cafe

The Inn Cafe is the hotel restaurant. They have good local and international offerings throughout the day. I ordered grilled tuna and fries for lunch and it was good. Buffet breakfast is also in this area. Breakfast has decent offering. I like that they have their local danggit (salted and dried rabbitfish) served that days I stayed.

No Frills Rooms

Fersal Hotel Puerto Princesa need not do anything fancy to attract guest. The rooms may be no-frills but it is tastefully designed with neatness and modernity in mind. The beds are bigger than most hotels I’ve been along its mid-range price range and the amenities are far more than what other offers. The cable TV channels is a bit limited to ten good thing large screen LED TV is a newer model where I can plugin my USB so I can watch my movies own movies or play audio files. There’s a refrigerator for cold storage and I like my work desk with a comfortable computer chair.

I really like the warm room low-lighting, not too dark just bright enough for what I need. having said that I wish the bathroom lights were a lot brighter. Toiletries is limited to soap and shampoo so bring your toothbrush or toothpaste. The room really looks elegant in its simplicity, one thing they can improve on is the use of real house plant instead of the plastic one on the side table.
