Where to Stay in Bacolod City?


Bacolod City offers a lot of affordable and high quality hotels, guest/pension houses and inns for you to stay in during Masskara Festival 2016. But due to the high volume of tourists and visitors during the festival, getting a decent place to stay is quite a challenge. It is highly suggested that you book your accommodation as early as possible or a few months before the festival. Here are some of the places where I've stayed during my past visits to Bacolod City.

  • Saltimboca Pension
  • Star Plus Pension Inn
