더 모나키 호텔

It is a hotel that I use every time I visit the Philippines. There is no better hotel in Pangasinan, such as cleanliness, service, location, and amenity. If you travel to downtown Dagupan or visit for business purposes, I strongly recommend the Monarch hotel without having to think about other hotels.

Monarch hotel meets quality standard when it comes to cleanliness and service accommodation. They maintain clean facilities and rooms which I am very much particular when choosing a place to stay.. Staff are nice and pleasant. It is also located right across Robinson’s mall, which I really like. No other hotel in Dagupan/Calasiao has the same standards as Monarch hotel..

This is my 2nd time staying at The Monarch. I stayed here again because I generally enjoyed everything about our room, the pool, the gym, and the overall experience, in the hopes that their WiFi would’ve improved by now. Unfortunately, it’s still the same poor/weak to non-existent WiFi. Not only was it difficult to connect, but my phone and laptop were not able to connect at all due to very weak signal and security. Having a good internet in this beautiful hotel would have made the stay perfect. Other than that, I still appreciate the courteous staff, smooth checks in and out, and luxurious feel of the hotel.

The Monarch Hotel is one of the few hotels in the Philippines where bold architecture meets proper maintenance and polite staff. The standards of this hotel are high in every aspect I came across. Food quality/quantity, cleanliness, comfort, etc. The only downside is that they charge a 2000 peso deposit which they refund if you left the room in good condition. Other than that, it’s perfect.

Monarch Hotel is a welcome respite after more than 6 hours travel from Los Banos, Laguna. All the staff from the security guard who told us nicely that the hotel’s parking lot is already full to the receptionist who quickly completed our registration, are helpful and courteous. We were able to attend my nephew’s wedding and reception in a nearby town on time. The buffet breakfast the next day was sumptuous. In addition to the usual breakfast entrees, it also included native rice cakes (puto) with different delicious toppings and the main product of the province, bangus or milkfish. Coffee was good too. Good that there are many interesting nooks in the hotel that distracted us from the fact that the hotel room that we got did not have a good view — only a bevy of aircon vents can be seen from our window.
