Samar Island, Eastern Visayas hotel rooms at the Independent

"Best hotel in the area. Very friendly staff and pretty decent food. The mango and watermelon shakes are not creamy shakes but more like slushis. Very fresh and amazing. Its not the best hotel but it is great for the area. Jts the best you'll find "

"Stay at summit for 3 nights amazing place great customer service will be back "

"good place to stay if flying out of Tacloban on an early flight"

"We were looking for a place to stay for a quick visit to Tacloban for a friend's wedding around the Palo area. Our key concern was the proximity since we didn't want to book anywhere too far. Fan's was a great find. They had a nice and clean place, accommodating staff, and was close to a bunch of places to see, food to sample, and not as much traffic as the city's main roads. "

"The Meaco Hotel is on the main street in Calbayog City called Magasaysay Blvd. Its a few steps from a shopping plaza called Super Metro which is definitely handy when you need supplies food clothes Ect. No breakfast though that is what Jollibee's is for lol. If you are around the hotel by 4:30-5pm you can have some excellent street food along the way. If you like basketball there is a huge court across the street. Timble drivers as far as the eye can see. 50 pesos can get you anywhere you need to go in the City walking around can be an asset at times & always be aware of your surroundings."

"Nice place for fair price"

"Love close to downtown and hot water. Bad thing this time I seen bugs in the room."

"The hotel was very nice and the staff was excellent (friendly and accommodating). The only issue is there is not a lot of options for food as the city has no restaurant franchises. If you don't mind only eating local food from family run canteen style vebders? Then this is a lively place to visit."

"There’s no supplies in the room. The sheets are dirty/stained. The counters are dusty. The staff could use some service & hospitality training!!! Food is good and the view is great!"
