Victoria Guest House and
Cottages offers some of the most affordable and budget friendly accommodation
when in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Very near the old Puerto Princesa Airport, it
is just 10 minutes travel away. It is also near the down town area of Puerto
Princesa. Though it’s not near in any convenience store or merchandise shops,
there are sari-sari stores around the corner. And it is very accessible to the
main road so fetching a tricycle to your destination is not hard to do.

And they also offer, tour
packages around Puerto Princesa including a tour of Puerto Princesa Underground
River in Sabang. During our stay, we availed the latter and the following tour
packages – City tour of Puerto Princesa, Iwahig River and Firefly Night tour
and Honda Bay island hopping. All packages are inclusive of meals, guide and to
and from the sight transportation. Charging is per person rate. Their rate is
standardized just like the rest of tour operators and hotel that offers the
same tour packages of Puerto Princesa.

We have free breakfast in our
entire duration in Victoria Guest House and Cottages. All of our meals are
satisfying plus what I like added bonus for our tour packages with meals
prepared by the hotel was “free dessert” in our lunch and dinner meals and
breakfast as well if I remember. We always had “sweetened saging na saba” as our dessert to which I do not
complain at all since this type of banana is one of my favorite Filipino
dessert.
Regarding to the staffs, they are
generally friendly and warm as well as the tour guides provided to us during
our tours in Puerto Princesa who does this job as a sideline amidst they are
still at school. What I also like in this hotel is that they answer immediately
to queries and transactions via their Facebook Messenger. One staff, Ms. Michelle
whom I transacted prior and during our trip to Puerto Princesa was very
accommodating. She even helped me secure a slot for Underground River Tour for our
group in the city office because of our late reservation for the tour we had to
do a standby. Advance reservation is required for tours to Puerto Princesa
Underground River especially during peak season like summer which was our
travel date and the city office limits only the visitors to the underground
river for like 200 to 500 visitors only per day to preserve its environment. But
with the help and skills of Ms. Michelle we were able to get a slot for the
underground river tour amidst the peak season of summer! Kudos to that! But the
rest of the staffs even their drivers and cooks, all of them are warm, friendly
and smiling all the time to the guests.

Victoria Guest House and
Cottages is highly recommended for budget and short stays in Puerto Princesa
City. Their complete offerings of tours around the city satisfying, safe and
authority accredited. They also offer tours to El Nido as well which I bet is
also affordable and budget friendly to visitors. They also provide free
roundtrip land transfers to and from the airport, so this is definitely a plus
for visitors who will stay here and wants to enjoy the beauty of Puerto
Princesa.
