Boac Marinduque Accommodation : Tahanan sa Isok

Tahanan sa Isok become so filled up during Moriones Festival and we are still lucky because we have been able to book for at least two nights at their very affordable rate of Php800 (April 2012 rate) plus Php100 for an extra bed but as of today that room we once occupied was at Php1000 with free breakfast good for 2 persons only. They also have bigger rooms good for four persons at rates Php2200, Php2000 and Php1800 with breakfast for 4 persons.

Marinduque is dubbed as the Lenten Hub of the Philippines. During these seasons traveling to Marinduque become so difficult, buses going to Lucena, Quezon, roro to Marinduque and the hotels are all fully booked.  I suggest you book so early because the rooms are already filled up for the lenten season as early as August.

Tahanan sa Isok has 15 simple air conditioned rooms, with private bathrooms (w/ hot and cold shower) and a cable television.

The location of Tahanan sa Isok is so near the city proper, just walking distance from the festivities and other celebrations related to Holy week as well as Boac Cathedral and town  museum or you can take a tryk at Php10 fare.






Receiving Area



Because of the very humid weather at Marinduque, staying at Tahanan sa Isok will give you some comfort.  The mini hotel has a garden and a swimming pool which my kids enjoyed.

Singapore Cheap Accommodation : 5 footway.inn Bugis

5 footway.inn Bugis is exactly located at 10 Aliwal St., Singapore.  It is just 10 to 15 minutes walk from the nearest MRT Station Nicoll Highway.  And the buses are just around the corner.  There are also a number of food stalls and restaurants around the area. The location is great as we just walked for 15 minutes in going to Bugis Village where you can buy the cheapest souvenirs, shirts, food and everything.
We stayed here for 3 nights at room rates SG$112 (Php 3,685) for weekdays and SG$128 (Php 4,200) for weekends.  The room is already good for four people, but since there are six of us, (baby James was free of charge) we just added SG$26 (Php 855) for an additional person. And I think this is a great deal since the breakfast is already included, you can eat as long as you're hungry, but don't take advantage too much, hehe... I saw someone got all the fruits from the kitchen, bad huh! I just love their unlimited coffee and milo available 24/7.

The place is so cozy, clean and neat.  The wifi connection here is excellent! And there are two desktops at the reception area if you really need to use one.
The staffs are all amazing!   They were always polite and smiling, willing to assists you in any way they can.
The mattress are all comfortable and smells so clean and fresh. The aircon was great!
The only thing which others may not appreciate is the shared bathrooms.  But one day we went there on a daytime, I saw the housekeeping staffs doing their jobs, and when it's newly cleaned, the bathrooms are okay for me... It's just the users of the facilities that should be responsible for making it clean for a day.
I highly recommend this hostel for backpackers on a budget.

Our breakfast for 3 mornings =)


bread toast, jams,cereals, milk, fruits and my fav unlimited coffee =)
