Typhoon Ramon forced me to get stranded at Danao City. The Philippine Coast Guard doesn’t allow any vessel to leave the pier. Because of this, I was forced to look for hotel that is affordable and located within the city. I asked one of the crew of Jollibee Danao and he told me to try Catadman Lodge.

Catadman Lodge is located in Barangay Sabang, Danao City. Visitors had to walk along a poorly maintained dirt road to get to the lodge. Catadman Lodge can easily be reached from center of Danao City. Just go to the public terminal across Gaisano Mall and ride the Sabang bound tricycle there. Tricycle fare costs 8 pesos per person. Buses from Cebu City pass by the entrance of the dirt road to the lodge.
The Jollibee employee is correct when he said that Catadman Lodge is an affordable hotel in Danao City. Overnight stay at lodge cost me 350 pesos. I chose the cheapest room that is not air-conditioned and doesn’t have its own bathroom. The large ceiling fan in my room is enough to give me a cool night’s sleep. My room is clean and has a bed that is big enough for me. I can say that it is perfect for 350 pesos. Visitors who chose the cheap room can use the shared bathroom, which has three separate toilets and three separate showers.

| The rocky beach of Catadman Lodge. |
Catadman Lodge is located beside the sea and visitors can go to the beach and take a swim. The beach beside Catadman Lodge is not developed, however, and is rocky. There are parts of the sea that is deep enough and suitable for those who want to take a dip.
.
The sea is cold during my stay at Catadman Lodge that’s why I did not swim. I just went there to take some photo like this ruined boundary wall of Catadman Lodge. I am practicing the rule of threes when taking a photo.

.
Anyone can check in anytime and the check out time is 9 AM. So, if you are in Danao City and looking for an affordable place to sleep then you should try Catadman Lodge. You can call the cellular phone number 0919-6950588 for inquiries. Catadman Lodge is open 24 hours.

Nice lodge by the sea! I guess it'll be a good place to stay for budget travelers?
ReplyDeleteYes. It is really good for budget travelers. Overnight stay at that is not expensive. The good thing is that the rooms are clean and maintained well.
DeleteThey have courteous staff too.
i am from cebu but never been to danao. isnt it strange? hehehee!!
ReplyDeleteAh. Maybe Danao City is too far away from your place in Cebu.
DeleteWow! very afffordable nga tapos may beach pa!Nice!
ReplyDeleteYup, may beach nga pero ang problema lang ay mabato yung beach. :-)
DeleteI love the 2nd shot of the boundary wall. =)
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you liked it.
DeleteNo photo of the room? Looks like a pretty decent place and what's most important is it is clean.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry STP. I forgot to take photos of the room. That's why it is not posted here.
Deletehow much will cost of we want to stay for 3 nights?
ReplyDeleteOne overnight stay costs 350 pesos. 3 nights stay would be 1,050 pesos. Take note that the price is not updated because the price that is written on this blog post was obtained more than a year ago.
Delete9.00 a.m. is early for a check-out time. Gosh! Some may still be sleeping. Here, usually it's noon.
ReplyDeleteI don't why it's 9 AM. Maybe most of their clients just check-in for overnight stay.
DeleteThanks for sharing. I've been looking for info about this hotel for quite some time now and I'm glad you've shared it here. I first heard this inn from expats who are travelling to Camotes. It's not the best out there but it certainly helps you relax and spend the night in safe.
ReplyDeleteHello Mac. I'm glad that this post helped you. :-)
DeleteIs it True? Overnight stay 350?
ReplyDeleteThis was posted in 2012 so it's possible that the price went up
