Hi, lastyle7 -- check the "hotels" link at the top of the page, which has a lot of good information and links to the hotels (most list their prices, but check to make sure they're current).
I guess you mean everything below 800... Casa De Monteverde, (starts around 400) Obdulias Palwa (starts around 800) Harolds Mansion.... and and and the choice is yours
what are you expecting in this "hotel"? if you just need it as a room for your belongings and a bed while you go out for trips, try Natasha Homes in Banilad, a little out of the City but fairly inexpensive and secure Contact her on 035-4224579 or 035 226 1164 her appartments are easily big enough for 4 and she does them for 10,000php a month or 500php daily, say Jenny gave you the link and you'll get discount for sure! Her compound is really nice, very quiet by philippine standards and away from road pollution oh and there's a great on site resto-bar....mine lol
According to a taxi driver, most of his passengers are satisfied with CheckInn Hotel Palwa Grand Pension Casa Monteverde Welcome to Dumaguete.
