Samar Island, Eastern Visayas hotel rooms at the Independent

"I arrived very early about 10am. The polite staff told me if I waited a short while I could check in soon which I did. This was excellent. The room looked small because the bed was huge but this was fine. The room itself was nice and clean, the a/c worked and the pillows were awesome. There was a stain on the bed linen, however; and the towels looked old and grey and could do with being replaced. Breakfast was nice although it was not a buffet breakfast as advertised on this website. "

"Good cleaning, polite staff, good size rooms. Some room for improvement with room service system and shower setup. Room service recently converted to a digital system, but often missing menu items as meal times change. Had to call to get it fixed several times. Shower overhead is good, but handheld has low pressure and is mounted low."

"Service is great, nice clean rooms but parking is not good."

"Clean room"

"The staff was very friendly "

"Clean very spacious room, beautifully furnished, big bath, hot water available. The staff were friendly and helpful. The property is on an esplanade. The beach is across the road. I would have given this a 5 were it not for minor opportunities for improvement ie box of tissues, hand towel and face washer weren't provided. But the price I paid for the room, amenities, and surroundings, it was a bargain. Will come back."
