I stayed at TJ Pensione, one of the cheapest hotels in Biliran, located in the center of Naval, just in front of Jollibee and a few meters from Grand Tours, Van Van’s, UV Express, and other transport terminals. TJ Pensione is not like your five-star hotels, but they have organized, clean rooms, toilets, and baths.
