herby Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Hi, I'm looking for a cheap place to stay at Subic Bay where I intend to go in May next year. Does anyone know a decent hotel / boarding house that's good value? It should be in a quiet area within walking distance to the nightlife attractions. Just a simple accommodation would be o.k. since I usually don't use all the facilities that many hotels have in abundance, and I don't want to pay for something I never use. A room rate between 1.000 and 1800 P would be acceptable, but the room should have a balcony or a small porch area. I've searched through the forum to find a similar post, but didn't find any. Anyone out there who could help me? Thanks in advance! Herbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apartelles which run 1000 and up are available all over the Philippines, and there is definitely a discount for a one month paid in advance stay eg....30,000 minus 10%=27,000 per month, cable TV, Air Con and hot water included, Wi Fi maybe but let's say not included. Balcony? Can't say, depends on the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bows00 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 For that price range, I would personally get a standard room at the Arizona. Last time I checked, it was going for around $1550P. Fun times at Scores and Floating bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona might be good for that price as I have always heard positives about it. I don't think there are any rooms in the Freeport for less than p2000. Most are p3000 and up.

SubicSteve Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 How long will u be staying? Do u want only a hotel room or will an apartment be OK, if u are staying for a long time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris49 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 He would not stay in Freeport, imo, the travel would be too excessive getting in and out of there. A full service hotel eg Arizona, would be the go. Apartelle, they give you the sheets and towels only, would be the money saver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bows00 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Yes, Freeport does seem out of the way if your vacationing. However, I heard it is a nice place to settle your roots - I am planning to take a nice tour of the area during my next visit to see if I can set myself up for a decent $500/month rental.

herby Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 How long will u be staying? Do u want only a hotel room or will an apartment be OK, if u are staying for a long time? I will only stay there for about 2 weeks before I start travelling around the country. Just a hotel room would do. An apartment would be an option when you stay for a long time, but in that case you would have to sign a long-term lease. I think the whole area is quite an expensive place to stay so I am going to reconsider my plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check Airbnb might be able to rent a condo or efficiency, cost about $25 up per day 3 day min. in Cebu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
