A Review: 5R Rooms For Rent in Tagaytay
Following my blog on our impromptu trip in Tagaytay last weekend, here is where we landed, 5R Rooms for Rent. Good thing I previously researched on various budget accommodations in Tagaytay (see related post here). So I just choose among these. As mentioned, my first choice was Java Jazz Lodging House. But since contact details were no longer available in the site I've posted, it would really be a walk-in style to find an accommodation.
Unfortunately, when we got there, Java Jazz Lodging House is already fully booked since they only have 3 rooms available. So we walk further and found Keni Po, 5R Rooms for Rent and Little Falls Inn. We tried our luck in 5R thinking that Keni Po is fully booked (which happens all the time whenever I inquired from them). And yes, we were lucky. There were a lot of rooms available in 5R. Rooms available then were at Php 1,200 and Php 1,500. According to the receptionist, the only difference is the bed size but still can accommodate 2 persons. So we availed the cheaper one.
Our room number is 8 and we were located at the back of the building, second floor. I'd like to compare Famous Inn and 5R since I find some similarities on both accommodation. For reference, you may refer to this blog on my review on Famous Inn.
The room and toilet
5R and Famous Inn's room and toilet size are almost the same, though Famous Inn is slightly bigger. Both have mirrors on the side of the bed, again, a motel-like accommodation in Tagaytay. Both toilets have some drainage problems. I've experience clogged drainage in the bath side at Famous Inn while clogged sink at 5R.
5R's room is somehow cleaner than Famous Inn since we don't get to see any ants or insects crawling. But the bedsheets and pillows seems clean on both lodging house. The airconditioning on these two were just right. Famous Inn, however, have a standby electric fan in case you wouldn't want to use the aircon.
Toiletries
In 5R, the towels provided were much thicker and seems cleaner than in Famous Inn. Toilet paper was new and not left over. A small soap was also included in 5R.
Other amenities
5R have a swimming pool located at the other side of the building at the back. Around the swimming pool area are cottages where you can stay and eat. I saw somebody grilling but I'm not sure if its part of 5R's amenities. There is also parking lot in that area.
The area of 5R is much bigger that's why it can accommodate more guests due to a lot of rooms available. The only downside is that there is no wifi in 5R.
Overall, our stay at 5R is ok. I prefer 5R over Famous Inn but my boyfriend prefers the latter. The reason I prefer 5R is that its cleaner with no insects crawling. The towel provided is "useable" than that of Famous Inn. Added points is the swimming pool although we were not able to try it. Similar to Famous Inn, if sleeping in a motel-like accommodation is ok with you but with added amenities such as swimming pool and you're on a tight budget then I recommend 5R. But if your budget is below Php 1,000 then you can opt to stay in Famous Inn than 5R.
I hope this review can help :)

Backpacking in Tagaytay: Impromptu Trip
This weekend, my boyfriend and I had an impromptu trip in Tagaytay. We don't have any reservation and we just decided to just scout there using the information I have posted before. I have blogged about budget accommodations in Tagaytay last year. So it won't be difficult for us to search for accommodations when we arrive there. Just for assurance, we called up Famous Inn, where we stayed last year, a few hours before we arrive in Tagaytay. Luckily, they still have available rooms. But I wanted to try other accommodations in my list, so our choices where Java Jazz Lodging House and 5R Rooms for Rent.
Before I continue, let me just add information on our transportation. Last year, as posted in my blog, we rode vans in Pasay, at the street before Metropoint coming from Edsa southbound. This time, we rode vans in Alabang. This is near the market and it is actually bus and van terminal. All are southbound (Laguna and Batangas). The van we rode is routed in Sta. Rosa, Nuvali, Tagaytay, Picnic Grove. It can also drop you Enchanted Kingdom. Travel time is about 1 hour. Fare is Php 75 per person but if you will be dropped off to Picnic Grove, you will add Php 20 per person. Even if we will not alight in Picnic Grove, we still paid additional Php 20. We alighted near Java Jazz Lodging House.
Java Jazz is actually a coffee shop but they added some lodging to better accommodate tourist. However, they only have 3 rooms so when we got there, it was booked already. It is also interesting to know that Java Jazz Lodging House is not connected to Agoda.com. I wonder how they were included in agoda upon my research last year. This is what I saw posted on their door.
And to all my readers, finally, here's the Java Jazz Lodging House contact number, 0917-4837399 or you can email them at javajazzcoffeetagaytay@gmail.com. I already lost my phone book before so I apologize to my readers when I cannot give them contact details. It seems like travelbook.ph have revamped their website and some contact details were gone.
So the next we inquired was at 5R Rooms for Rent. Luckily, they still have a lot of rooms available. You can read my review on this lodging house here.
Here are other information I would like to add:

Here are other information I would like to add:
- Java Jazz Lodging House is located before T House Bed and Breakfast if you're coming from Sta. Rosa Exit. This is at the left side of the road.
- From Java Jazz Lodging House, Keni Po and 5R Rooms for Rent are just walking distance. They are all on the left side; Keni Po first then 5R Rooms for Rent.
- You can easily see Keni Po and 5R Rooms for Rent as they both have big sign boards. Maybe competing with each other as both have pools and open 24 hours. They just really beside each other.
- Little Falls Inn is in front of 5R Rooms for Rent
- Overlook Inn is just beside Bag of Beans

Backpacking Trip in Tagaytay: Review of Famous Inn
It's my first time to stay overnight in Tagaytay at my own expense (previous trips were care of my company where we had team building and planning sessions). My first choice was actually at Keni Po since this is the same hotel I recommended to my friends which unfortunately I wasn't able to join them. I recommended it due to good reviews and very affordable accommodation. Since Keni Po was fully booked on my chosen date, we opted to stay in Famous Inn after several search on cheap accommodations in Tagaytay. You can read them here.
As what the name implies, Famous Inn is a small hotel providing lodging and food for travelers. It has 2 floors with about 15 rooms. They offer fan and air conditioned rooms good for 2 up to 8 persons. True to what they've posted on their website, the hotel is painted in bright yellow and their rooms were well painted in bright color as well. (As of this writing, they've already changed the design of their website but you can still view their rooms from here).
We reserved for a fan room since it'll be cold in Tagaytay on our travel date due to the rainy weather. The rate is Php 800 per night. The room offered double size bed, small tv, fan, small table with 2 chairs and a bathroom with hot and cold shower. They have a small restaurant and parking space is provided. I was surprised that the room they gave us has air conditioning unit. I thought maybe all their rooms have it. I just learned upon check out that the room they gave us was indeed for an aircon room when the receptionist was charging us Php 1,000 for the aircon room. Well that's no longer my fault. And besides, we never used the aircon due to the cold weather (we even turned off the electric fan).
Now for my review... To get to Famous Inn, you still need to walk 300 meters from the main road. But from the main road, it is about 5 minutes away from Picnic Grove. I didn't expect the room to have big mirrors beside the bed as it was not in any pictures of the room I've searched. It was like motels in Manila. It felt awkward and it really didn't seem like a romantic room (honestly, some motel rooms in Manila were better than this). The headboard of the bed have some black ants crawling that it can get to your bed. Towels were provided but it was really thin as if it shrunk due to frequent wash. Good thing we brought our own towels. No toiletries were provided except for toilet paper which were half consumed (see, motels in Manila were better! haha!). The receptionist told us that blankets will just be delivered to our room. It didn't came so we just use their thin blanket on a cold night. The water from the shower is strong and you can adjust the temperature. The only problem is that the bathroom can get clogged but the water subsides after a few minutes. Wifi is provided up to the room though there are certain areas when the signal is weak. We were not able to try their food but their prices are quite cheap. By the way, breakfast was not included in their rates. Even if the inn is walking distance from the main road, it's not scary to walk there at night as there were lights alongside the houses.
If you don't mind sleeping in a motel-like lodging and if you will just be sleeping there, then Famous Inn is ok. It's cheap and somehow clean. Just bring your own towel. Overall, I'll give this small hotel a 6 rating out of 10. I personally didn't like the mirror and the towel. All the rest are ok.
