Hotel Luna, Vigan - A Beautiful Heritage Stay With Real Comfort…read more Hotel Luna is one of the nicest places to stay in Vigan. It's a four-star hotel, but what struck me more was how well kept everything is. The whole place blends Filipino Spanish and Chinese influences, so when you walk in, you get that instant nostalgia you expect from Vigan, but without losing any of the modern comforts. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully done. The air-conditioning is strong, everything is well equipped, and the Japanese-style toilet is a nice surprise. The courtyard pool sits right in the center of the property, and all the hallways and rooms look down into it, which gives the place a quiet, old-world charm. One of the best parts of staying here is the museum on the second floor. It has pieces from well-known Filipino artists, including BenCab and Arturo Luz. It's not a token display. It's a proper gallery that adds character to the hotel. They also have Chula Bar, which serves drinks and Spanish-style dishes and tapas. It's a good spot before heading out or winding down after dinner. The main dining area handles the buffet services. Breakfast is good, and on weekends they sometimes run dinner buffets. Last night, they had a Japanese buffet, and the price was surprisingly reasonable. Another big plus is the location. The hotel is just off Calle Crisologo, the iconic street where no cars are allowed. Shops, cafés, and restaurants surround the area, so you can walk everywhere. Overall, Hotel Luna is beautiful, comfortable, and full of charm. If you're planning a Vigan trip, this is the place I'd recommend. For anyone coming from Manila: Driving takes around seven hours, depending on traffic. If you prefer to fly, the trip from Manila to Laoag Airport is about an hour, and the land transfer from Laoag to Hotel Luna takes roughly one hour and forty minutes.

Ang Ganda ng banyo, super fancy. Stayed here in January & if and when I do go back to the Philippines, I wouldn't mind trying this place out again. Meron pa yung breakfast buffet, pero Merong masarap, Merong Hindi; okay lang. very close sa lahat na attractions sa ilocos; hopefully they take care of the cockroach situation & the gym, and maybe they would become 5 stars, in my opinion!

After a rather easy check-in, staff brought my luggage to my room. I stayed in a warm, but…read moremodern-looking Junior Suite that ran about $130 USD with dark, polished wood floors and clean-lined furniture. It had a comfy king-sized bed, a huge wardrobe wall closet, HD cable TV, air conditioning, and a coffee maker. The room felt pretty spacious but cozy. The bathroom was finished in smooth stone and had plenty of counter space while the shower had rain and handheld spray options. I really liked the free and strong Wi-Fi. Their restaurant/bar that had indoor and outdoor dining options offered a daily free and satisfying breakfast of several choices like a "Filipino Breakfast" of either longanisa (sausage), daing (marinated milk fish), or corned beef hash with an egg, white rice, and juice, or pancakes or cereal, toast, fresh fruit and juice. For non-guests, this would come to less than $4 USD per entree. They also offered very affordable dishes that were pretty good like burgers and fries, paninis, and pasta. Service was excellent. The doorman who seemed to have multiple roles as needed was extremely helpful in telling me where to find high-quality native pastries and food. The hotel's very walkable to historic cobblestone streets which only allow foot traffic and kalesas (horse-drawn carriages) and are lined with lots of eatery choices and little shops. I was very satisfied with everything except I wish that there was a pool.

We had booked 3 night here. We arrived in town via bus and rode a tricycle over. The hotel is…read morebeautiful on the outside with statues, fountains, and great details. Check-in was not smooth. The girl (the baggage guy told us her name was Debbie) that checked us in could not find our reservation - - she was looking under the wrong name. We got to our room walked and walked in. Wait, this ain't the room we reserved on Agoda. It looked nothing like the photos of the room on the website. Another thing is that the room was dark & smelled musky - - just damp. We were too hungry from over an 8 hour bus ride, so we ate dinner in the hotel restaurant. After dinner, my wife explained to Debbie that the room was not the one that we saw on the website and that the musky/moldy smell irritated her and that it would be an uncomfortable stay. Debbie looked up without even thinking telling us that there are no more rooms - - basically telling us "to live with it". That night, neither one of us slept well. The next morning we did our sightseeing and went out looking for a new place to stay. We found one. We already prepaid for two more nights, but we just couldn't stay there & knew we would have to eat the costs of the other two nights. When we checked out & returned the key, we explained what happened to the manager and he was sympathetic; he even offered us another room. Sorry, but Debbie made it impossible for us to stay there. Location is good. It's one block from the famous Calle Crisologo. It does have an elevator if you don't want to climb stairs. One thing of note, they don't have bottled water in the room - - they have a water jug in the hallway that you can get water from. Is this water spring, filtered, or whatever - - who knows. Finally, when we were riding the bus to Vigan, we called the hotel to ask how to get there and were told to take a tricycle to the hotel. As we turning into the bus terminal we happened to see a Ciudad Fernandina Hotel van drive by our bus. Why wouldn't the hotel let us know they had a van to use - - we would have paid to get picked up. My wife believes that it was Debbie that she spoke to. We really wanted to like the place, but the way you treat people & the way you do business counts. Enjoy.
