Hotel St Ellis

Bicol


Legazpi's smartest central city hotel has 40 spacious rooms with slightly stuffy '70s decor in browns and whites but a high degree of comfort. There's a good restaurant, an indoor pool on the 2nd floor, a day spa and professional staff. It's in a relatively quiet street just off the main drag.
