First if all Alona beach is the worst place I have been in my two months travelling round the Philippines . Ridiculously overpriced for a horrible , dirty place with a rubbish beach. Citadel is ok but for 950 pesos, no breakfast and 50 pesos for a towel it is the best of a very bad bunch. Go to Cabilao... More

Citadel Alona is a very good budget accomodation. The rooms and shared bathrooms are spotless, the staff is friendly, and it is only a 5 minutes walk to the beach. The gardena dn teh balcony are perfect to relax. Highly recommended if you dont mind shared bathroom.

A very clean place and only a short walk from Alona Beach. Room was spacious. It really feels like home. Free wifi is available.

The Citadel Alona offers comfortable accommodation at a good price. The guesthouse is immaculately clean and is in a great location - just a 5 minute walk from the beach. The staff were friendly and the chilled water cooler was refreshing in the heat. The beds were comfy, the bathrooms clean and the nearby dolphin watching was fantastic. I only... More

I stayed just for one night because I came to the place for dolphin- watching. As I got it the hotel is one of the cheapest in the area but it’s really nice. There are actual furniture in the room (I stayed at standard single), not some crap pieces of wood big mirror and a comfortable bed. The common bathroom... More

I stayed here twice recently - Christmas 2011 and January 2012 the first occasion in the bungalow at the back which the staff had thoughtfully decorated with Christmas lights and a tree which was lovely. Situated away from the main house it is quiet and very private where we could self cater in our own kitchen or barbecue in the... More

Stayed here for one night in a family room, shared bathroom for PHP 850. We called the day before and this was the last room they had available and were booked up after our first night. The room had both fan and air-con (for 300 extra). We found the fan was more than enough to keep the room cool. The... More

I have stayed in the Citadel twice now and I have loved being there. The accommodation is clean, warm and had a really nice homely feel to it. This time round I stayed in the bungalow which is situated around the back of the house (it's very peaceful there!). It has a nice private garden and decent sized kitchen, washing... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and we did not encounter any problems. The rooms are small but okay. The place is very clean. No ensuite bathroom but common bathrooms are sufficient for all the guests. They also have a common kitchen where in you can prepare and cook your own food. There's a dining area at the veranda where... More
