Green R Hotel Review (Budget Hotel at Vigan City)

The blogger checked in at GREEN R HOTEL during their stay at Vigan City last summer 2015. (Budget friendly travel guide, here ).  PHP750 for Queen Budget good for 2 pax (Private bathroom) Additional PHP100 for extra person Check in: 2pm, Check out: 12nn REVIEWS: - Not so strong WIFI as it is not in range inside the room (checked in on the third flr) - Aircon is beside the bed so it can be really cold while sleeping.  - Drawers in the cabinets were dusty.

Pale and pale dipper are provided so taking a bath isn't really a problem. No heater, but again, not a big deal. The toilet is fairly clean.

No bed bugs despite
