About this place The Strand Suites and Dormitel

The Strand Suites and Dormitel is an LGBTQ+-friendly accommodation option located in Davao City, the largest city in Mindanao. Situated in the Bajada area, the property offers both private suites and dormitory-style rooms, making it a flexible choice for solo travellers, couples, and groups with varying budgets. This dual-accommodation approach means you can choose the privacy and comfort level that suits your needs. Davao City has become an increasingly welcoming destination for LGBTQ+ travellers exploring Mindanao. While the city's gay scene is more understated than Manila or Cebu, there's a growing community and hospitality industry recognising diverse travellers. Staying at an explicitly LGBTQ+-friendly venue removes uncertainty and helps you connect with other like-minded visitors and locals. The property's location in Bajada puts you within reach of central Davao's restaurants, shops, and cultural spots. Whether you're visiting Davao for its natural attractions—like nearby waterfalls and the Samal Islands—or to explore the city's culture and food scene, having secure, welcoming accommodation makes all the difference. The Strand's mix of suite and dorm options means you can travel affordably without sacrificing comfort or safety. When planning your Mindanao adventure, consider this venue as a base that explicitly welcomes you.

Super value for money, you get exactly what you pay for. It's in a good location, quiet, comfortable, and staff are very helpful and professional. Strongly recommended for budget travellers that just need a place to sleep and recharge in.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great place to stay in Davao City, especially if you're looking for accommodation near the Old Victoria Plaza and Bajada area. The unit was clean, affordable, and comfortable. The host was easy to communicate with, and the staff were very accommodating throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a convenient Bajada experience. Would gladly book here again if the need arises.

This hotel may not be a luxury five-star property, but for its category, it’s definitely one of the better places to stay. The rooms were clean, well maintained, and all the appliances were working properly, which made the stay comfortable and hassle-free. The location is also very convenient since it’s just walking distance to Pryce Tower and nearby establishments. One thing to note is that the hotel doesn’t have an elevator, so if your room is on the upper floors, expect a bit of exercise. They also don’t serve full meals, but they do provide free coffee and bread at the lobby. Luckily, there are plenty of restaurants and food spots nearby, so finding something to eat is very easy.
