Go Hotel Bacolod Soft Opening


I am one of the lucky early birds who had a chance to avail the P88 promo of GO Hotel Bacolod.
Such a great coincidence that I have booked a flight to Bacolod on July 25-29, 2012.


What a steal! It's only P88 + 12% VAT, that's more or less 100 bucks. But there's a catch, the rates are only applicable on weekdays, weekend rates starts at P588 + 12% VAT.

Go Hotel Bacolod is located at the back of Robinsons Mall. It is not along Lacson Street contrary to what is stated at their website. Go Hotel Bacolod address

Upon arrival at Silay Airport at 10:15am via Cebu Pacific, I head off straight to GO Hotel for an early check-in.  I arrived there at around 11am.  Here's the facade:

The customer service counter has only one staff to accommodate walk-in queries and hotel guests. I immediately handed my hotel bookings and asked if I can check-in early or just leave my luggage.  The staff instructed me to wait while pointing at the seats.  I sat and patiently waited.

After 20 minutes, I noticed that she had already entertained around 4 walk-in queries. I approached her again and she suddenly remembered me! Aha! So she has totally forgotten to get back to me. Gawd! I had to be patient, I don't want to ruin my trip. She requested me to wait for a few minutes more because their luggage counter was still not open. That explains it.

After several minutes more, the staff happily announced to me that I can now leave my luggage upon payment of P50.00.  I handed her P50.00 and had a lunch at Robinsons.


I went back at 2pm for check-in and still had to wait for about 10 minutes before the key card was handed to me.

Here are the shots I took.

No need to dip to open, all you need is to tap the key card.

Sorry, I forgot to take a shot of the sink and the mirror. There's one electric outlet where you can plug your hair drier or electric shaver. There's also a free shampoo and soap which are good for one-time use. Two towels are also provided.

And finally, the view from my window.

 I still have some pictures to upload.

There's also a nook, with one chair, where you can write or put your laptop. I used it to put my knick-knacks and junk foods, lol.

By the way, as of this writing, the hotel has still no telephone land line (weird for a business). So, all transactions are done via email or walk-in queries.
