Property Description
The house was constructed sometimes in 1920s when Mr. Balili was still a bachelor.
The house served as the venue of grand social functions of Tagbilaran which were attended by prominent political and social personalities from both local and national levels.
One of those grand gatherings was the meeting of then President Roxas with Elpidio Quirino, a senator then, former governor Perfecto Balili, the brother of Eladio and some other important local political personalities.
In March 1942, the war (WWII) reached Bohol. Tagbilaran was occupied by the Japanese Imperial Army.
Almost everyone evacuated the town. The fine Balili house was requisitioned for use by high ranking Japanese officers where social gatherings were still held.
The house which still stands today, still carries the marks of its past grandeur that manifests how the Tagbilaranons lived their lives in the past.

Gloria and Rey were great. Gloria is awesome at telling you about the history of the hostel and her father! There is karaoke which is always fun. The people who work there are exceptional and helpful. The rooms are pretty standard. But what do you expect for a place built in 1920s. We stayed 3 nights but could have been 2 as Tagbilaran isn’t really a long staying city. Our trike guy, Robert was awesome. Reception will help you find transport too.

I really liked my stay here! I thought the property was really clean & the night shift guard was really nice & welcoming! The beds were comfortable & I felt really safe from mosquitoes from the net! Always cold water if I asked nicely & the restaurant downstairs was yummy :) I think if you’re coming to this area from the boat port there’s absolutely no better place to stay!
Til the next time :))
