Balai Lawaan, a cozy and homey bedroom, features a room with a day bed for solo travelers, which converts into a wide double bed for couples, friends or small families.
Hi, I am Anj Vios, your host during your stay in Iloilo City, the City of Love. My husband and I decided to open Balai Lawaan, our home, for guests and visitors needing a place to stay in Iloilo. Balai Lawaan offers a cozy and homey escape from the bustling city. It provides privacy because it is inside a gated, private property with lots of greenery and space, but its great location makes it readily accessible to the transport hubs like the jeepney and bus terminals, convenience stores, grocery, malls, and restaurants. Thanks for trusting us with your stay! I take my job very seriously - your comfort is my top priority.
Located in a quiet, safe and friendly neighborhood, its great location makes its accessible to public transports.
