“The U Pension is a practical Dumaguete base, especially if you prioritize location and connectivity; the Wi-Fi holds up. Ask for a room away from the street if you're sensitive to noise, though you might trade that for a newer AC unit. I found the staff accommodating, and having the option to make my own coffee was a definite plus.”
