If you prefer to stay near the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Lola Itang Pension House is a fair choice; it’s near the wharf too. The existing entrance (adjacent restaurant) is less impressive but when we were led to our room, I was really surprised, the inn located at the back of the restaurant is really nice and homey. There are several rooms to choose from
Lola Itang Pension House & Restaurant , we stayed at the Solo Villa for a couple of nights, a detached room with a/c, refrigerator, cable TV, double bed, clean comfort room and has a small private verandah and garden too all for P850/night.
There are fewer restaurants in the area but you can always hail a tricycle and ask to take you to a restaurant of your choice. There are some fine dining in Puerto Princesa hotels but more popular restaurants are along Rizal Avenue towards the airport.
