Balay Valencia

Southeast Luzon


This well-maintained, character-filled ancestral house, with lattice breezeways, has nine simple but clean en suite rooms that represent the best budget deal in town. The central location on Ibañez St is a bonus, close to night food stalls and main-street shops. Wi-fi (P50) comes and goes like a stray cat.
