Dining Experience at Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center
Introduction
Recently, my friends Lei Lani Dusaban, Jojo Bayona, and I decided to dine at Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center, located at the corner of RC1, Araneta Highway, Pahanocoy, Bacolod City, Philippines. We were intrigued by the positive reviews we read about the place and wanted to experience it firsthand. This review focuses on our dining experience and our observations around the hotel, as we have not yet stayed there.
Arrival and First Impressions | Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center
Upon arriving at the hotel, we parked beside the restaurant. From the outside, we could see the entire dining area. We initially thought there might be another restaurant within the hotel, but we learned that the main dining option was the restaurant we parked next to. The only other dining facility is a bar located at the rooftop of the hotel.
Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center: Ambiance and Setting
The restaurant is relatively small and rectangular in shape. The tables and chairs are modern and simple, but on one side of the dining area, there were plastic rattan canopy-style chairs, adding a unique touch to the decor. The dining area is well-lit, with lighting that almost mimics daylight, and the air conditioning is excellent—perfect for the hot weather, allowing us to focus on our meal and conversation comfortably.
Service | Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center
The waiters were friendly and attentive. To my surprise, I recognized a familiar face—an old employee from Sugarland Hotel who is now the captain waiter at Roy’s. This added a personal touch to our experience. They promptly addressed our requests and ensured our table was well taken care of. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, helping us make informed choices. Overall, the service exceeded our expectations.

Exploring Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center
While waiting for our food, Jojo Bayona and I decided to check out the lobby, while Lei Lani stayed back to book hotels for her upcoming trip abroad. The lobby is quite simple, lined with designer chairs from Cebu City. The front office is also very basic, but I was delighted to see Paul, my former student from LCC, working as the front office supervisor. The lobby’s minimalist design was clean and inviting. It provided a comfortable space to relax and explore. Seeing a familiar face made our visit feel even more welcoming.
Location and Accessibility of Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center
The hotel’s location is a bit of a challenge, as it is situated quite a distance from the city center. If you’re taking a taxi or a Grab car, the fare might be higher than usual. However, public utility jeepneys (PUJs) pass by the hotel, providing a more affordable transportation option. Additionally, the area around the hotel is quieter compared to the bustling city center, which might appeal to those looking for a more relaxed environment. For those with private vehicles, ample parking space is available. Overall, while the location has its drawbacks, it also offers a peaceful retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle.
Additional Facilities
We also checked out the rooftop bar, which has a spacious alfresco area perfect for parties. Unfortunately, we couldn’t take photos due to a function happening at the time. The pool area on the third floor was occupied by a family, so we didn’t photograph it either. However, it looked quite appealing, especially at night when it was well-lit. It is also a nice place to hold a small party. The ambiance of the rooftop bar, combined with the well-maintained pool area, makes it an ideal spot for gatherings and celebrations. Despite not being able to capture the moments, the setup left a positive impression on us.
The Food | Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center
Mango-Beet Salad (₱390)
We started with the mango-beet salad, which we all loved. It included lettuce, mango slices, beet cubes, cherry tomatoes, and dried rose petals. The mango puree-based sauce added a delightful taste to the salad. The combination of fresh ingredients created a refreshing and visually appealing dish. Each bite was a perfect blend of sweet and tangy flavors. This salad set a high standard for the rest of our meal.
Korean Buffalo Wings (₱380)
Next, we had the Korean buffalo wings. The chicken wings served with a spicy sauce, were quite hot. While I enjoy spicy food, the wings bordered on being slightly bitter. Reducing the saltiness could enhance the flavor. The heat level might be too intense for some, but spice lovers would appreciate the kick. The wings were well-cooked, with a crispy exterior and juicy interior. Overall, a good dish with room for improvement.
Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center
Rack-a-Bye Baby (Baby Back Ribs) (₱480)
The baby back ribs were a bit of a disappointment. Although the portion was large and served with mashed potatoes, the meat was tough and difficult to slice. We expected the ribs to fall off the bone, but they were strongly attached. The presentation was nice, but the cooking method needs improvement. The flavor was decent, but the toughness of the meat overshadowed it. With more tender preparation, this dish could be much more enjoyable.
Batangas Beef Caldereta (₱450)
The Batangas beef caldereta was flavorful and generously served with green and black olives. However, like the other dishes, it was a bit salty. Adjusting the seasoning could make it even better. The beef was tender and well-cooked, blending nicely with the rich, savory sauce. The addition of black and green olives added a pleasant tanginess, complementing the dish well. Overall, it’s a hearty and satisfying dish that just needs a slight tweak in seasoning to be perfect.
Sides and Presentation | Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center
We also ordered steamed rice (₱70) and soda (₱95). One thing we noticed was the use of colorful containers, which distracted us from the presentation of the dishes. The plastic placemats also need improvement to match the overall dining experience. While the food quality was generally good, the mismatched and vibrant containers detracted from the otherwise pleasant ambiance. Upgrading these small details could significantly enhance the visual appeal of the dining experience.
Conclusion
In conclusion, our visit to Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center left us with a generally positive impression, though there are areas where enhancements could be made. The warmth and attentiveness of the staff contributed significantly to our enjoyment, as did the inviting atmosphere of the establishment. While certain dishes might benefit from fine-tuning in terms of seasoning and presentation, the overall quality of the cuisine was satisfactory. Looking ahead, we anticipate the opportunity to return for a stay at the hotel, affording us the chance to delve deeper into our assessment and provide a more comprehensive review of our experience.

Upon observing, Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center has a good ambiance and has a good place to take photos with. They also have a good and responsible staff. However, I think that they will improve their food and not too much pricey so that the customers will come back. Also, the location is just easy access to many people.
Here are my recommendations for Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center in Bacolod City offers a unique blend of minimalist design and Filipino hospitality. While the hotel has potential, its dining experience, Restaurant, needs improvement. The Mango-Beet Salad is a highlight, but inconsistencies in seasoning and cooking methods in other dishes need addressing. Roy’s should offer spice-level options, ensure consistent seasoning, and reduce salt in the Caldereta. The presentation also needs attention, with upgrades to serving containers and placemats. Maintaining friendly staff and addressing the location by offering shuttle services or transportation partnerships will further enhance the overall experience.

This is one of the most neat, detailed and informative blog I’ve read. We’ve been eyeing Roy’s hotel for stay and this blog helps me lot to decide or consider if we should pursue our plan which is to stay there. The quality of food in a hotel is crucial for us because we don’t go out of hotel anymore to eat, and this review gives me an insight on what we should expect when we got there. The baby back ribs is our go to meal wherever and will probably try soon also at Roy’s.
Upon reading the overall article, I would say that the accommodation service of Roy’s Hotel is very satisfactory. The ambiance of the place made it more engaging to the customers. Based on the food reviews’ served by Roy’s Hotel, it tastes good but it still needs a room for improvement. Therefore, I would like to recommend that the food served at the table must be well-balanced when it comes to the seasonings used and make sure that the meat is not difficult to chew for customers to enjoy their food more.
So my recommendation is to make their own identity that will be marked to the people and make them keep coming back,so they can say it was all worth it, no matter how far they travelled. And also they will offer online ordering and delivery for those who are unable to visit in person. Lastly, improve their facilities that are all working good, safe and clean.

However, quality of food served at Roy’ hotel needs improvement because food quality has a big impact on costumer satisfaction.

Personally, Roy’s Hotel displayed a warm and welcoming vibe, making the guests feel like it’s their second home or just “like home” aura.

I rate Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center as 8/10.
In my view Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center is an excellent choice to catch up with friends and families. To their Mango beet salad, korean buffalo wings, baby back ribs, and batanggas beef caldereta by looking at it make you feel tasty and savory, also their platting was good and cleary clean. For the pricing it was not affordable but yet their type of food based on the quality of ingredients they use its very well good for its price. Somehow, there location is not convenient so that it may not crowded all the time and has a peaceful and relaxing place. Also, it was very nice that the waiters are friendly and attentative that they were promptly address the request of the customers. Roy’s Hotel was creating a unique dinning ventures that boast a fantastic athmosphere that making it perfect for gathering for loved ones.

Rozo Bistro’s in-house restaurant is a standout, featuring inventive cuisine such as pasta negra. The hotel’s unique features include the rooftop linea sky bar and magnificent attic villas.

Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center is a great choice because of the excellent food and great service and ambiance. Even though some dishes may need some minor adjustments, the overall dining experience was good. The hotel’s location is a little ways from the city center, but it offers a peaceful place for people looking for a relaxed environment.

Additionally, its strategic location allows for easy access to popular attractions and restaurants. Overall, I would give it a solid 4-star rating❤️
For improvement, it is recommended that Roy’s should avoid using too much salt in some of its dishes such as the Korean Buffalo Wings and Batangas Beef Caldereta so as to avoid over-salting. Improving the tenderness of the baby back ribs should also make the big difference. Enhancing the tableware and the placemats with respect to the current theme or atmosphere might enhance the presentation when dining. If it is possible, there is always the option of adding more food selections to the menu or even improving current dishes. Basically, improving on the things that made Roy what it is, but not completely changing anything to the point it is unrecognizable.
Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center is where the UNO-R HM students conducted their hotel tour last June 3, 2024 and it was a great experience. Rozo Bistro is their in-house restaurant has a modern scandinavian minimalist style using wood, emerald, and cream tones that gives the restaurant its vibrant appeal. However, Sir Jojo Vito noted that using colorful food containers clashed with the ambiance of the place which can be bothering to other customers. I think using neutral color palette that will match the ambiance of the place would be better, chosing soft, muted warm tones such as white, soft beige, and light wood would definitely be a great choice to for containers to match the restaurant’s aethetics.
For my recommendations.
Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center is quite good for family vacations since there is a pool and a good ambiance to relax and bond with friends. But there’s something that need to improve in the place. First, the hotel and the dining should be in the same place to be more convenient to the customers. Second, since Sir Jojo mentioned the restaurant is quite small and rectangular, I recommend that the restaurant have more space, while the service crew, are active in serving and they are more reliable to take care of your needs. Third is for the foods, they need to improve the taste of some of their foods and make them more presentable. People can enjoy and be attracted to a restaurant if it has a great cuisine, atmosphere, and dining experience.
The dining satisfaction of guests leaves a huge impression on their overall experience. I think the hotel should manage the quality of dishes by implementing a quality control process in the kitchen to keep the food consistent and improve the dining experience. They can also add QR codes on tables for guests to share feedback and help the hotel improve its services. I also suggest switching the colorful containers to neutral or elegant ones, so the food presentation is not overshadowed by the striking colors of the containers and plates. Instead of plastic placemats, using eco-friendly options like woven rattan or recycled fabric would make the dining presentation look nicer, while also supporting sustainable initiatives.

This is the first time I heard about Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center, the first thing that I noticed is their food presentation. The food presentation was commendable and I can say that in first glance, it was appetizing; but the downside is how they presented the food on the table. Just like Sir Jojo said, the plastic placemats and vibrant containers mismatched the overall exquisite dining experience hence it needs improvement, I recommend that they stick in a cool-toned color palette for their utensils, plates, containers, and placemats to match the ambiance of the dining area. Overall, the place is cozy and nice even though I find it far from the city proper, but if I were to pick a hotel to stay and relax, I would pick Roy’s Hotel, I want a place far away from the busy streets of Bacolod, away from the city noise and Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center is my top choice.
I have also gone to Roy’s hotel, we went around and checked everything. I can say that Roy’s hotel is almost perfect. If I would commend it will be the space for their dining room it is quiet smaller that only few people can dine, when I was their we were waiting for almost 30-45mins before we ate because there’s no table that is available, we were so hungry that time. Last thing that I think they need improvement is their meals, other than these is perfect.

Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center is a pleasant hotel with welcoming staff and a tranquil setting. The hotel is a nice place for business and pleasure, although the food could use some salting up and some tenderising of the meat. Improving the way food is presented could also improve the dining experience. With a few modifications, it’s a pleasant place to hang out or relax overall.
Well-known for its wide selection of restaurants, first-rate service, and welcoming ambiance is Roy’s Hotel and Convention Centre. There is space for improvement, even though some dishes—like the mango-beet salad—are highly commended. One such meal is the baby back ribs. The cuisine is generally cooked well. The hotel offers additional amenities like a rooftop bar and a pool, although accessibility problems may occur due to its location outside of the city core. Overall, it was a mediocre experience with room for development.
To evaluate the Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center, is that the first thing that I have noticed are the foods. The foods are well presented and it looks delicious but there are some food that the beef was hard to chew or sliced. It’s a bit disappointing for that price but the other foods look good. The design of the hotel is super nice, it is pretty for the eyes to see that kind of designs and the ambiance of the hotel is so relaxing but also the location was a bit hard if you do not have a private vehicle because of the distance. Even though there is one food that is not good, I bet the other foods are delicious and would recommend to come to this hotel if you want to experience a calmness and relaxation about this place.
To evaluate the Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center, that place is good the minimalist design can make the ambiance comfortable sto relax and explore. The hotel location bit challenge but if you have private vehicles it has space available. The food looks delicious and affordable for people who wants to experience fancy experience. So in my conclusion their is no recommendation it needs because of the place attentiveness of staff and the inviting atmosphere was satisfactory.
The mango-beet salad was a standout, offering a refreshing and flavorful start to the meal. While the baby back ribs disappointed with their toughness, the Batangas beef caldereta was flavorful and satisfying, though both dishes could benefit from a reduction in saltiness. The Korean buffalo wings provided a spicy kick, but could be improved by reducing the bitterness. Overall, the food quality was good, but the presentation may be improved by utilizing more elegant and cogent serving utensils.
Positioned in Bacolod City, Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center is depicted as a place that serves both the business and the pleasure travelers. The article points out that the center contains modern facilities, enough space and great service which is why this particular hotel is chosen in this region. Moreover, the fact that it is located near some sites of interest to tourists adds on to tourists’ consideration. Such facilities as a modern convention center make this place suitable for business functions. Considering the above, I recommend that during your visit to the city you should consider staying at Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center. Its functionality pattern provides comfort, that a good stay is sure to bring.
While reading the article, I was also impressed by the beautiful design and everything was perfect. If I could offer some suggestions, I’d recommend expanding the space a little bit if possible and this would allow more options and spaces for dinner. Indeed, a cozy place is exciting appealing for customers as it makes them feel comfortable and relaxed. Lastly, enhancing small details will make a big difference in the overall dining experience.
The article talks about a positive experience with a minor issue with the food. Based on the article, I recommend making a dining/hotel survey for the customers to answer, through this, the chefs, staff, and owners can somewhat have an idea of which areas should have improvements. The survey should have a suggestion box below wherein customers can leave specific remarks and reviews about the food, ambiance, and overall dining/hotel experience. Being open to suggestions is important to stay relevant in the industry, making customers satisfied has a great impact, especially in hotel industries.
As I have read in the article, I agree with thought of enhancing small details could impact significantly in customers dining experience. The things I could also recommend are first, they should have a much bigger space if possible so that they can offer more options and spaces for diner. Lastly, they should be more aware and careful in small things that could have a great impact.
According to the article, the Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center features a relaxed vibe, good customer service, extra amenities for customers to enjoy, and a wide selection of cuisines that create a positive customer experience. To give an outstanding customer experience, there are still certain aspects that need to be improved such as the management can enhance the interior design to make the space appear spacious and the furniture should be more attractive rather than plain. Given that the location is situated distant from the city center, the restaurant can make itself a “destination restaurant,” one that customers would travel to by providing specials, deals, packages, signature dishes, quality service, or a unique theme that sets them apart from the competitors. Moreover, the taste of the food should be improved since the customer finds it to be a little too salty and bitter, spicy menu items can have their level of spice adjusted so that customers who don’t like spicy food can still enjoy it, and ribs can also have a selection for doneness—as customers have different perceptions and the restaurant can consider using white containers to highlight the texture of the food and make it look more appetizing.

Some people might think of this blog as an expensive one where you experience that you bought some dishes that are too flavory and not worth of riski or invest. At some point, i actually realize that it might give me a chance to try and see what really it means. I was just reading the blog but it gives me an excitement to try and see if i also wanted to go back there once i let myself try. Overall, this blog was really giving the content and all are well prepared just like the hotel, if someday i could get a voucher to this kind of experience i would never think twice i will just grab the opportunity and enjoy the moment.
According to the article, the waiters/staff at Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center are friendly, attentive, and welcoming, offering a comfortable environment for relaxation and exploration, but the location of the hotel is a bit far from the city center. Also based on the article, some dishes were good, like mango-beet salad and korean buffalo wings, and my recommendation for the rack-a-bye baby presentation was good, but the cooking method needs adjustment to make the meat easy to slice. The batangas beef caldereta is a little bit salty; it needs to be adjusted with seasoning to make it better. My recommendation for containers and plastic placemats is that they need a calm color palette that enhances the entire dining experience, and thinking about the color palette of your walls, tablecloths, and other decoration materials is also important to create an eating experience that is both enjoyable and appealing to the eye.
The article said that Roy’s Hotel and Convention Center is a good place that provide beautiful dining with friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. However, their seasonings needed improvement and also their presentation. As for me, I recommend that they should improve the taste of their food by adding more seasoning and then choosing the appropriate color to make the dishes seem attractive. In that way, this will improve not only dining but also solve all the issues mentioned in the review.
This blog is impressive. I learn so much while reading and it makes me want to try and visit roy’s hotel for me to also experience their good service and ambience.

As I read the written reviews of Sir Jojo about Roy’s Hotel and Convention Centre, I read that the location is quite hard and challenging for others, but for me, I have easy access going to the hotel because I just live around Sumag; a one-ride jeepney will do. I also loved the ambience because it gives off an aesthetic vibe, has good lighting, and an aircondition. The hotel and restaurant management and staff guaranteed that every customers who dines with them feels comfortable and well cared for plus with the attentive and friendly staff. Overall, they make sure that the customers will keep coming back.
