Casa Ison Hotel

Clean and quiet room, even the AC was very quiet. Room is very small at 10sqm. Good location in the centre of town. However, no alcohol, no guests after 17:00 are unusual policies for a hotel frequented by adults and should be clearly communicated at time of booking. It would have been a deal breaker for me. Since it was too late to cancel, I ignored it.

During my research trip in Sablayan, Casa Ison stood out as one of the more modern accommodation options in the area. Although I arrived much later than expected, around midnight instead of my scheduled 2:00 PM check-in, the 24-hour reception ensured a smooth and secure arrival. I booked a standard room, which exceeded expectations given its reasonable price. The bed was comfortable, and the room was well-furnished, featuring a spacious table and chair that allowed me to attend my online classes conveniently. The air conditioning worked efficiently, and I appreciated the ample lighting options, especially the bedside lamp and conveniently located power outlet.
The hotel’s common areas were also impressive. The lobby includes a large dining area that guests can freely use and an in-house café that adds to the relaxed ambiance, though coffee service is only available during certain hours. The staff were accommodating and even allowed me to borrow an electric kettle when needed. The hot shower was a welcome feature, especially during early morning preparations for fieldwork.
Casa Ison’s location is highly convenient, situated near a 7-Eleven and a rooftop café and restaurant that offers pleasant views of the municipality. Even as a student researcher rather than a tourist, I found the hotel both affordable and comfortable. The use of keycards for room access added a sense of modernity and security.

A really nice new accommodation in Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro. Just a simple note, they don’t have an elevator!

I did not stay in the hotel itself as I live with local friends, but I visited it almost every day as they let me use the Wi-Fi to work remotely. The girls at reception are exceptional, very welcoming and very friendly. Salamat Po! The different flavoured coffees are also very tasty. I highly recommend this hotel.

Great Stay at Casa Ison Hotel.
Casa Ison Hotel is right in the center of Sablayan, conveniently located next to a 7-Eleven store.
The staff is very friendly, and you can also order food or coffee.
The room had a very comfortable bed and a smart TV with various streaming platforms.
Overall, for the price, the conditions were excellent. If I return to Sablayan,
I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful place to stay in Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro. Didn't expect that this town would have a more or less modern business-type hotel like this one. Although there are very good tourist attractions in this town, most visitors are here for business so this place is most welcome. The hotel is fairly new so facilities are good but be patient with the staff. The common area is on the warm side because I heard that electricity costs in this province are on the high side. I'll definitely stay here again when I go back to visit.
