A hidden oasis in the heart of the city

Since the 1970s

A house with a history

Built in the 1970s by the Mendoza family as Casa Linda Inn — named for Linda Mendoza — the house has since been restored in the spirit of a traditional bahay kubo: wooden floors, woven bamboo, and wide shutters that open the rooms up to the city outside.

Lokal Hut keeps that character today, as a small bed and breakfast built for guests who'd rather walk to the sights than drive past them.
