That's a bit disappointing with the internet. A few years back I stayed in the neighboring Courtyard Hotel by Marriot and had much better Wi-Fi bandwith there. Glad you're giving Guimaras a try! I would suggest doing a land tour around the island. Regarding the RoRo ferry situation, in my experience you can get on the Montenegro faster without queueing too much while the FF Cruz can test your patience but has cheaper rates. But it seems you already paid for an FF Cruz ticket in your last video. Anyway, take care on your adventures Mergim!

The Richmond Hotel Iloilo city very fancy! 4:00 The pool and the gym is pretty small though. The picture online is very deceiving. 😐

[@OHANA-Beach-Suites]

Wow! Very nice! Hello Philippines! 🎉🎉🎉

[@rosebir7529]

this is very informative i like it since were going to iloilo soon. thanks mergim

[@Mary-zd8xo]

Hi Mergim. Right now I’m watching your video on my big screen smart tv and you look like a movie actor. So beautiful to watch on big screen. Thanks for updates about Iloilo

[@lunawalpurgisnacht7765]

Iloilo bike lanes and esplanade are also pretty nice ^^

When I was in Iloilo to attend a national convention, we stayed in Mariott Hotel beside the convention center and Richmond Hotel.

[@shielaolermo7201]

I am so proud of my Hometown,Iloilo City.Thank u so much @Mergim and try our la paz batchoy and molo soup there..Hopefully ur next visit will be in Bacolod City the Capital of Negros Occidental.And the Masskara Festival celebration will be held on October.Goodluck and more explore.Keep safe.

Hello Po.... I'm liking Iloilo City and will visit in December. Where's a good place to rent long-term for a single foreigner? Thank you for your consideration.

There's another homegrown brand by Megaworld, a 4-star hotel, opening soon. The hotel is 12 stories high and has 405 hotel rooms, costing P1.5 billion. The Belmont Hotel is located just across from the Richmond Hotel and next to a luxury condominium called the St. Dominique and St. Honore.

[@rosemendez931]

Can’t wait for that … My family usually stayed in this hotel and Zuri .We will try that Belmont Hotel when its open .

[@get2riz]

Mergim- Iloilo looks like a nice affordable city.

[@magnataurlaudeyt9502]

I appreciate your thorough review of the hotel

[@jimmydejulian7033]

Thanks for visiting our City of Iloilo!

[@eyeseeyu]

If you noticed the Iloilo Biz Park is oriented in a straight line (Boulevard)....it's because it used to be the main Iloilo airport and they moved the airport now to a bigger Iloilo international airport outside the city centre

[@ChrisKamanYourMouth]

In my opinion, The Richmonde Hotel is, in terms of maintenance, neglected. Maybe it's the OCD in me but...I notice things, such as stains in their carpet in front of elevators and hallways (on every floor), their exterior windows are filthy and full of calcium deposits, including the canopy above the lobby and entrance area, etc., etc. All that I previously mentioned should be reason enough for them to lower their room rates. Also, based on my personal experiences through the years...Megaworld properties are forgotten (maintenance, etc.) once they are up and running. They continue on to the next, newest project. Rinse, wash, repeat. Their Eastwood property comes to mind. The Marriott a block away from the Richmonde is a better option albeit a little more pricier.

[@ShawnBowens]

Funny, after being all over the Philippines for a year the Richmond is one of my favorites to stay at. YMMV

Yes Mergim most hotels even 5 star hotels have the very very soft pillow that if you are a senior citizen you find it difficult to sleep, you feel a stiff neck in the morning..

[@how2what4]

You got lucky with the weather, it's been raining none stop here. I guess you don't know the trick to speeding up the internet on the hotel wifi. When I ran the test I got 66 Mbps on download and 18 Mbps upload. We figured out the thermostat, rotated the dial to about 25 and it kept a good temperature, but we were a few floors down and not on a corner units so it might have helped a bit. We got the TV to work, it is old school with a large selections of TV channels. Not having a smart TV isn't such a downer, most of my KZbin viewing is done on a computer. Agree the pillows are a bit thin, tend to fold them over to get a bit of bulk out of them, but I've noticed a lot of the hotels seems to use those types of pillows. Your room orientation is exactly what we had, it's strange they didn't design your room to take advantage of those large windows. Would have made sense to flip the bed to the other wall turning the room into an epic experience.

[@rizajoylanes8084]

Thank you for visiting iloilo

[@jethjasmin9197]

Thank's again Mer,to this amazing video 💯🫡🥰👍🌞🇳🇱

[@JEDI938]

I actually love this hotel and love the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. The restaurant at the ground floor has a lot of options and they're quiet frankly delicious. Yes I do agree that the pillow could need some upgrading. The pool was just right for me as I do not intend to swim like an Olympic swimmer. Its actually quiet relaxing by the pool and nice selection of drinks on the bar. With that said I will definitely try other hotels especially the new ones that are opening up in this lovely city.

[@richieliper4720]

You should have tried on the nearby Marriot Hotel.. internet, food, and other amenities are far more better.

[@John-vh3ig]

Starlink is the other better option. I also agree with your pillow feedback.

[@mikeealtiveros137]

I love hotel contents, thanks Mergim. ❤

Thanks for visiting my hometown. In case, you’re visiting next time, you could have stayed in a 2 before condo facing Megaworld Blvd. for less.

Iloilo population is very low. Not feasible to build casino and hotel that big. But Iloilo have relatively low poverty rate and better standard of living
