Sweet City Captel
February 16, 2009
I recently discovered a new budget accommodation in Negros Occidental. The Sweet City Captel was inaugurated last February 2, 2009 by Gov. Isidro P. Zayco. The hostel located at the North Capitol Road corner Gatuslao Street in Bacolod City is now being managed by the Capitol Government Employees Multi Purpose Cooperative (CAPGEM).
The newly renovated Sweet City Captel is a budget traveler’s haven right at the heart of Bacolod City. It’s strategic location makes it accessible to public transportation and major business establishments in Bacolod City.
Dorm-type accommodations are available in aircon and nonaircon. For organizations having seminars and trainings, the Marañon and Montelibano Halls are available for lease. Currently, 2 and 4-bed standard rooms are being remodeled. Captel also provides discounts for government employees and senior citizens.
Below are the rates:
Dorm-type rooms, non aircon P100/head
Dorm-type rooms, aircon P200/head
Marañon Function Room P800/day + P250/day for use of electricity
Montelibano Function Hall P2,000/day + P250/day for use of electricity

East Point Hotel Construction Updates
October 15, 2008
The East Point Hotel is the newest addition to Bacolod City hotels. The 5-Storey hotel is located along Circumferential Road near Burgos corner. It’s worth noting that since the New Government Center was constructed along the Circumferential Road, there were a lot developments going east of the city.
Construction of the East Point Hotel is already on the fifth floor so hopefully the building will be completed before the year ends or early next year in time for Panaad Festival.
