Since my friend and I figured out that we'll be out a lot, we stayed at a dormitory instead of a hotel. And we found Homitori Dormitory.
Homitori a two-building dormitory (for men and women). It is ideal for backpackers and for budget travelers. They really have affordable daily and monthly rates that we noticed that most tenants are students. Homitori is strategically located near Magsaysay Park and a few blocks away from Gaisano Mall of Davao.
My friend and I got two separate Single rooms at Php 400 a night (with free breakfast). I paid an additional Php 60 for a thick blanket.

My room had two bunk beds, cabinets, a study table, and a mirror. The dormitory is fully airconditioned. I was also provided slippers and a towel. Wi-Fi is free but available in the lobby. Shower rooms and comfort rooms are communal but very well maintained.
Eating is not allowed inside the rooms since Homitori has a pantry, where they also serve breakfast. They also have a fitness gym, which you can use for free and a computer room (which I think has an hourly rate).

Overall, I was really satisfied with my stay at Homitori. The staff was so nice that they even kept our things after our check-out. One thing that I think they should improve on is their breakfast (I'll be happier with just a fried egg for breakfast).
If you're going to Davao on a budget, Homitori is the best place to stay.

DeleteHaven't been to Davao, but your entry gives me much info that when the time comes for visit I won't find it hard to look for a decent yet reasonable price place. Kidding aside, parang sounds like Hickory Dickory hehehehe! duck? hahahaha Peace Michy!
ReplyDeleteAkala ko nga Japanese theme yung loob eh.hahaha. :)

ReplyDeleteIt's really nice plus, it's quite near the malls too! ;)
DeleteOut of curiosity, what did they serve for breakfast? I was quite surprised that they offer free breakfast for that price.
ReplyDeleteFirst day was tortang talong, second day was a fried fish. :)

ReplyDeleteRovie, The Bargain Doll
Thanks Rovie! Glad you're already well. :)
DeleteWow super sulit! ... can two people stay at a single room? Since they have bunk beds anyway.?
ReplyDeleteActually, there are 2 bunk beds, so a maximum of 4 persons can stay in a room. But it's a dorm so dapat all-girls or all-boys sa isang room. :)
Deletewow that's very helpful at least hindi lang sa hotel ang pwede matuluyan when going in a vacation :))
ReplyDeleteYepyep. :) There are pension houses too, which is also cheaper than hotels. :)
DeleteThanks for the info Ms. Michy. Pag punta ko ng Davao soon eto tatandaan ko :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Ella! :)
Deletethat's really sulit, considering that they have clean nice rooms with pantry, gym and computer rooms!
ReplyDeleteIt really is! :)
DeleteNow I know where to stay when in Davao. The most important thing for me is cleanliness, so that dorm scores points with me, for sure :)
ReplyDeleteThis place is really clean, so I think you'll love it! ;)
DeleteThat's a good price although I'm quite particular with the toilet and bathroom. I think it wouldn't hurt paying a little extra for a private t&b. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYeah. It was kinda effortish but good thing my room's near the bathrooms. :)
