The Property — We R Inn
The We R Inn is a straightforward budget stay in Davao’s Agdao district: clean tiled rooms, a small pool, and parking for those with a car. It’s mostly used by Filipino families visiting relatives or workers stopping overnight—functional and friendly, but short on frills. The lobby doubles as a karaoke lounge in the evenings, so expect noise if you’re an early sleeper.
Chronicles of Davao
Davao was a logging and abaca trading hub in the early 1900s, formalised as a city in 1936 under President Manuel Quezon. Rapid migration from Luzon and the Visayas shaped its mix of Bisaya, Ilocano and Moro cultures, while martial law in the 1970s turned it into a stronghold for President Duterte’s family. Today it’s known as a clean, orderly city with a business-casual feel, and the durian-fruit vendors on every corner remind you you’re in the Philippines’ fruit basket. The architectural footprint is low-rise concrete from the 1980s boom, punctuated by SM malls and the national shrine of the Our Lady of the Assumption.
Best Time to Visit
Full Davao guide →Best months
August and January offer dry, sunny days (26–32°C) with lower humidity and fewer typhoon risks; the Kadayawan festival in August brings crowds but the city is at its prettiest.
Peak / festival surge
August (Kadayawan festival, third week) and December–January (Christmas/New Year) see hotel prices double; advance booking is essential. Kadayawan draws 2 million visitors for street parades, fruit floats and tribal dances.
Budget shoulder season
May–June has occasional rain but rooms drop 30–40% below peak rates; temperatures hit 34°C but the city is quieter. Ideal for budget travellers who can handle midday downpours.
Weather & packing
Davao lies outside the typhoon belt but suffers sudden tropical squalls that can flood streets in 15 minutes. Pack a compact umbrella and quick-dry footwear—sandals with a grip are better than canvas shoes.
Live City Briefing — Davao
- Davao’s new bus rapid transit line (Line 1) started partial operations in March 2026 along the Claveria–Panacan corridor; it has eased traffic near SM Lanang, the main mall area.
- The city government has cut water supply to Agdao from 10am–2pm daily until August due to El Niño repairs—fill containers by 9am.
- Kadayawan 2026 (Aug 10–16) will close the entire Roxas Avenue stretch for nightly street parties; book We R Inn now or face sold-out signs by June.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to We R Inn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor, facing the back (away from the highway). The lift serves all floors, so upper floors are quieter from ground-level noise, and the rear side avoids the main road along Km 7, Lanang.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the parking lot – engine start-ups and late arrivals can be noisy. Also avoid rooms on the front side (facing the highway) on floors 1 and 2, as the open-air parking and Km 7 road traffic are directly audible.
Best views
Rooms on the back side (rear of building) look over the neighbourhood – mostly low-rise houses and greenery, no direct view of the highway. Front-facing rooms see the Km 7 traffic and Gaisano Mall across the road, which is busier but gives a brighter city view.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest – furthest from the parking and street level, and the lift (single, small) is used less on these upper floors.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from the highway (Km 7, Lanang) is constant during daytime and early evening. The lift is a single car, so doors opening/closing and conversations in the lobby are audible on floors 1 and 2. Parking lot activity (tyres, doors, voices) is noticeable from ground-floor rooms. No bar or pool noise reported – the property has a small pool but no evening events.
Insider tips
1. Park early if driving – the free lot has only 20 spaces; fill up by early evening. If it’s full, use Gaisano Mall’s pay parking (PHP 30/hour, but no overnight rate – you must move by 10pm). 2. Request a rear-facing, upper-floor room at check-in – no booking guarantee, but they often accommodate on slow days. The lift is small; if you have heavy luggage, ask for help at the front desk.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Davao
💡 Visit late afternoon when the heat drops and locals come out. The Wi-Fi is reliable enough for basic browsing.
💡 Step inside for air-con and quiet during midday heat. The adjacent plaza often has cheap street food vendors in the evening.
💡 The 30-minute guided tour is included in the fee and adds context you'd miss on your own. Go early on weekday mornings when it's empty.
💡 Go for the 10am or 3pm feeding sessions to see the crocs leap for meat. Skip the overpriced snacks inside and eat at a nearby carinderia after.
💡 Take the first shuttle at 8am to avoid crowds. Pack a picnic lunch—eating at the on-site restaurant is pricey and average.
