The furniture pieces/decor felt like a journey back in time, adding to the hotel's unique ambiance.

Souvenir goods weren't fully stocked.

Arrived after hours at 2000h-2100h, even before getting off the car we were greeted by the staff. He helped us with our luggage, provided assistance, and gave recommendations. He remained polite despite issues with the booking.

N.A.

The location was perfect to easily walk and reach the limited numbers of touristic hot spots in Taal. It is worth to visit the wet market since there you can find a huge amount of fresh food etc. on display. The pool of the hotel was perfectly sized and the view from its location to the West Philippine Sea (WPS) over the city was beautiful. The restaurant had unfortunately only a limited amount of a locally(!) produced beer on stock. While the quality of the "local" food was good and plenty of option.

Isolation of the room, noise was very loud during the night/morning. It would be great if the lighting in the room were brighter. It could also be nice to have curtains that actually darkens the room for a better sleeping rest as the sun is up from 5-6 am. Lastly, it was too bad the bar closes early.

Staffs are very kind and helpful. Always available when needed. The swimming pool was great and it was nice to have food choices for breakfast.

Water supply in the shower can improve

We recently stayed (7/21-7/22/24) at Paradores del Castillo Hotel in preparation for our prenup photoshoot, and it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, especially the Kuyas at the entrance. Their warm welcome set the tone for our stay. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained. The linens were clean and smelled wonderful, and the bathrooms were spotless. The ambiance was very homey and welcoming, making us feel as though we had traveled back in time. The community atmosphere truly added to the charm of our stay. The food at Cucina de Jardin was fantastic and worth every penny. Additionally, we highly recommend Casa Recuerdos for photoshoots. The costumes were laundered and clean, and the staff were very accommodating, assisting us up to the last minute. Overall, our stay at Paradores del Castillo was delightful, and we would highly recommend it to friends and family.

The room is not cold enough but its very understandable because the weather is very hot the time when we checked in but in afternoon until the day we checked out the air conditioning is good.

The place is so beautiful and clean.. and the staff are very accommodating lastly the foods is also delicious

Better soundproofing in the room would be good, though I understand it’s difficult to do in a historic building

Great historic building in a very historic neighborhood. The hotel has a beautiful pool

Great value for money, spacious, clean and comfortable room. The staff were friendly and very accomodating. We'd happily stay here again.

The leather bed. This is personal; should not impact the hotel’s credibility and service.

I love the ambiance and the design of the hotel. Location is super convenient also as all are walking distance and near the national highway. Staffs are hospitable also.

Nothing really significant. Although there’s a window in the room but I’m wishing there’s a glass/screen on the window for sunlight to get in the room and to appreciate the view outside without letting in flying insects.

It has an ambience of nostalgia. But still cozy. Had good night sleep every night. Less crowded. Lots of chairs and tables outside the room for us to spend day or night just lounging. The internet signal very strong anywhere within the property. The food was great. The staff very accommodating. Location is great as it’s about walking distance to the main town center. But if one wants to go to malls which are just a few kilometers away, there’s a public transportation (motorized tricycles) available outside.

Not really didn't like, but you just need to know that since Taal is an old town, streets are narrow. The restaurant closes early, and you need to be patient with your order.

Heritage house, friendly staff, nice rooms, clean, nice breakfast.

It was like travelling back in time! The whole house was a showcase of the grand old days! The creativity and artistry of the Filipinos could be seen in even the smallest details of the house. A walk through time and history, for sure! And the staff! They were the ultimate in making our stay comfortable. The warmth and friendliness of everyone felt like we were coming home to family and not just visiting. A big thank you to Leonard, Roselyn, Marian, Bisoy and everyone else I did not manage to get the name of! You all deserve 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The annex family villa where we stayed is quite far from main... We don't have a car, but they provided shuttle service to transport us to and fro the main hotel where the swimming pool and breakfast are located... There's no private pool in the annex family villa even though the posting shows it.

Staff are very accomodating, super friendly and polite, warm hospitality, food is delicious, place is clean and cozy... It's like staying in a museum. Swimming pool and facilities are clean. We enjoyed our stay.

The mattress used in one of the beds has seen the best of times, so to speak. May the management find it soon and replace promptly

Paradores is a jewel of a hotel in Taal. Its an aura of magical vintage ness that exudes the opulent Filipino spirit. Every guest will be billeted to experiences of walking back in time, Philippine scene, by this hotel.

the location

The view was non-existant. It was a little buggy in the garden.

The breakfast was wonderful and I love the historic ambience and the neighborhood.
