Citadel Bed and Breakfast

Pool was great, surrounding area could do with a de-clutter. They made us a really lovely vegan breakfast as we couldn’t eat anything on the menu... very thoughtful! :)

Firstly we had to pay a deposit on arrival even tho booked thought bookings. The woman in charge is a bit passive aggressive, little bit of a weird vibe...they have lists and lists of rules around the place too...We felt like we were being watched on our every move, like children. They also charge for everything and have signs around with the fees I.e outside toilet 50 Peso, not allowed to bring your own snacks or drinks on site or you’ll be charged... not good if you are on a budget as not everyone can afford to eat every meal at their prices! Owners very particular. Rooms could do with updating tbh.

Mostly we found the ambiance really nice, Really clean resort, very clean throughout and the room was really good with fridge, kettle good wifi and cable TV, the bed is really comfortable with a nice duvet cover ( not a sheet like lots of places ) there is extra food and drink at additional charges if you don't want to go out ( we never utilise the drinks or food ) because we travel a lot and try keep the costs down, hence why we generally buy our own provisions at the cost price from supermarkets. The pool was really nice and there was a bar area also if people want to relax in the ambiance, additionally they had a projector for playing music and videos which was a nice touch,they had a small gym which was basic but ok, the breakfast was actually ok for a Filipino breakfast , I always feel the breakfast is small in every place I stay , you can also order food for dinner/lunch ( we never tried the dinner or lunch ) You can really see that a lot of thoughts and efforts have gone into making this place a cut above most of the places in Palawan, we have stayed in hundreds of places across Asia and particularly in the Philippines , so if you don't want to spend a lot of money on staying in a hotel this is the place to start. We find if you pay less than 1000 pesos expect it to be poor in some area's, if you can afford just over a thousand then this is probably the best place in Puerto princessa.

Negatives were very few,some construction work next door ( which is absolutely no fault of this facility ), it was a little out the way but still close enough for a 20 minutes walk to Robinson's Mall. Mostly the staff and owners seemed ok , I really expect any hospitality to be excellent whenever I spend my money on any types of facilities, whether or not I take advantage of any additional activities or drinks etc that's always the perogative of the paying customer. Slight smell eminating from the bathroom but not overpowering

The place was very clean and run professionally

TO many rules ie(. can not bring food or drinks into man room or I will be charged for equivalent ...can not wash clothes..When I travel in warm climate my shirts and shorts are rinsed daily

-Very friendly staff, very accommodating in any requests I had or help I needed. -Nice pool/bar area. -Clean rooms. -Well located near airport.
