JAVA HOTEL

Conveniently located behind a Petron station, wide frontage and large, clear billboard makes it easy to find. Accessing registration/information desk requires walking up many steps or a steep ramp. Desk staff welcoming, warm, efficient, and helpful. Highly recommend that you make reservations for the “new” wing, which is much more modern than the original “old” wing. New wing has only a single elevator with max capacity of about 6 passengers, but is quick and quiet. Rooms are large and clean. Beds are very firm, but pillows are supportive and linens of good quality. Airconditioning at the minimum is of good quality. Pet peeve is that only a single room card is issued, which is required to activate room electric circuits. Bathroom is fairly well thought out, with adequate space around the single sink. Toilet seat was fastened poorly, slipping to one side or another with a loud whack while one sits on it. Hand operated bidet is convenient. Shower pressure is on the weak side, not that satisfying. Hot water was not to be had on the second day, which turned out to be due to a tripped fuse, easily corrected by the resident assitant staff. Staff is warm and courteous, eager to please, and very quick to deliver additional towel and shower mat (shower floor got very slippery while soapy). Shower tiles showed some mildewing, need more thorough scrubbing. Dinner at hotel’s Eagle’s Nest restaurant delivered a tasty and filling seafood chop suey with crisp vegetables, shrimp, salmon, and fish balls in a savory, slight sweet thick sauce. Garlic fried rice was well executed. Buffet breakfast, though, was only passable: garlic rice & corned beef underseasoned; adobo long beans oily, longganisa insufficiently garlicky and sour for a true Ilocano taste. Easily accessed gas station convenience store is open 24/7. Overall, this little hotel delivers good value for the money. Fairly highly recommended.

Absolutely spectacular!! Beyond hospitable, friendly and accommodating staff. Very affordable to boot!! Transportation is literally always waiting out front for you to get around quickly n inexpensively. Airport shuttle service is prompt n spot on. Kudos to a young lady there Ms. JV Fariñas for taking care of my concerns. Lookn forward to heading back.

Reserved one of the "best" rooms only to find there was no wi-fi connection. Requested a cheaper room closer to main lobby, still no wi-fi. Finally settled on a simple room as third choice. I inquired about pool access, staff asked if I wanted to use main pool. Upon further inspection noticed electrical light had been removed from its mount in the pool with wires still attached. The light with parts, had been placed in shallow end of pool. I decided not to test if there was any electrical shortages. After mentioning this to staff, they said they would ask their electrician if it was safe. At that point, the shower's hot water quit working so I left a day early. Requested ride to switch hotels, valet was rude and would not speak. This was the 2nd and last time I'll visit the Java hotel. The pictures look nice but beauty, in this case, is covering a host of problems.

Nice rooms. Nice location. Nice amenities. Nice staff but servicing needs training. Room needs to be cleaned much better. And if you can get a room without breakfast, go! Breakfast was disappointing. The only good thing were the eggs. Which was scrambled. How hard can you screw that up? Good thing they didn't. And they had servers in the buffet to manage what you put on your plate. Nag buffet pa!!! Hate that. But like I said, the room was nice and so was the hotel overall so just skip the breakfast.

Food is not what we expected ... like the sushi and udon its not really good taste you can taste like ginisa in there udon and the sushi they put wasabi on the bottom of it and they use normal rice so sticky ..😒

This is a great hotel in Ilocos Norte! They offer complimentary hotel pick up from the airport. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They recently renovated a new wing at the end of 2024 so we got to stay in a brand new king corner room with a beautiful of the surrounding neighborhood. ||The location is great, just outside of the busy Laoag downtown. Felt very safe throughout our stay. It is situated right behind a gas station/convenient store, which was great to have for snacks, water, bottles, etc. Their restaurants Eagles Nest had amazing food as well, will review separately. ||Cons- no safe in the room to store your valuables, only get 2 small complimentary water bottles per day||Overall, this hotel is excellent for the area.

I’ve been always stay at this hotel but this trip is not like previous, they put me to their new tower expected room was a 5 star base on their website but it turn to different experience, when I get there I’ve already notice some insects but as a Filipino i just ignore it, past 3days out planning to sleep in the Room and is already infested of multiple types of insects all over the place specially the bed and the bathroom. AC was outdated and they also charge you for early departure due to their neglected. Hope this review helps others and improve the hotel.

Rooms - Quiet old and dark. My toilet light isn’t even working not a lot of charging port if you are remotely working not suitable Service - poor. I politely request spoon and fork and plate however the front desk asked me to get it by myself at the dining area. At morning - the breakfast served late, I asked them if I will order or wait to be served. So i waited like 15mins before being served this is not busy hours and not weekend. Gladly the coffee is hot and not cold. Location - Wise, strategic near the town and nearby stores. About 5-10mins drive away. Overall - I think it’s fair here compare to other hotels that I’ve been. I will go back again but probably a second option

Since our flight arrived late at night we decided to check in here for 2nights. Service was great from front desk to restaurant. Friendly staff and very accommodating for our wheelchair our 2 rooms were adjacent and on the lobby floor. Which I appreciated considering there are no elevator. Fast forward, Before going back home to the states we figured it was more convenient to just stay at the same hotel and because they were so friendly and accommodating on our first stay, decided to reserved 2 rooms again. But this time around it was a whole different tune. We check in first and had mentioned about having another reservation under the same name (gave check in date for the other room) and needed wheelchair access. First thing she mentioned they have foreigners guest??? I looked at her and said and why are you telling me this. We are all booked? So I ask her how will a wheelchair go up those steps and she mentioned I booked your other room on the ground floor ok makes sense. But when we check for wheelchair access to go up to the restaurant let's just say you need to go basically around. So I ask the front desk again for a lobby she replied once again they have lots of foreigners guest. (I guess I'm not a foreigner considering I'm from the states?!) Left did a few more sightseeing came back and another worker was at the front so I ask if any rooms was available on the lobby she check room was available with upgrade! So we did an upgrade. Not sure why the other front desk person didn't notify me when clearly I asked multiple times plus when I booked the room I clearly stated about a wheelchair. Wanted to give a 3star because of the front desk issue, but decided to do a 4star only because the restaurant services made up for it. Rooms are spacious and clean which is a plus both had a balcony for both times we stayed. We used the gym, it was extremely hot in there. They had a treadmill that was not working at the time we could not find the plug to it.

We stayed at Java hotel for about 4 nights. The service is above and beyond, the rooms are clean, and the restaurant is delicious. From the moment we walked in, the front desk stuff greeted us with smiles and warm hospitality. This was consistent among wait staff at the restaurant and everywhere else within the hotel. Java has a nice outdoor pool, tennis court, gym, and restaurant along with a number of in-room services including massages, manicures, and laundry. We did take advantage of all these during our stay and was impressed with the service and price. Java is currently working on an addition that will almost double the size of the hotel. Looking forward to seeing the finished hotel the next time we visit Ilocos.
