This was the last leg of our trip around the Philippines, we only stayed here for 2 nights before flying home. Hotel is close to the airport (30min drive), a good location to visit Manila intramuros and Bonifacio High St which are the only 2 areas we had time to explore. The room was very decent, the bed comfy, the AC a little noisy but worked ok. We thought it was a really good deal given how much we paid. The top floor has a pool and also hosts breakfast, which was good and also included in the price. We arrived late one evening and left super early 2 days later; they were kind enough to have a boxed breakfast ready for us at 5:30am - such a nice touch! The front of house team was really nice and helpful, special thanks to Cielo, Mariel and Lem who were super helpful and made us feel very welcome!

The place is clean and quiet

When checking out, my family and I were waiting for a taxi to the airport. Reception staff They were talking and laughing inappropriately And they look at us I felt uncomfortable with this behavior

The staff are excellent, and the security guard is accommodating, helpful and courteous.

I was frustrated when I checked out, I was informed that I needed to pay for the two pillowcases, as there was a light stain on the pillow, and they charged me over P200 for each pillow.

Room is so big, and the staff are superb especially Mark for the room service and Mariel from the front desk. AC is a lil noisy but cools the room effectively. Bed are so comfortable but the sheets can be updated.

The towels needs a little updating and the sheets as well but overall tye stay was confortable.

Located in an uncongested part of town, it was fairly quiet and was easy to access ride share. Walkable distance to convenience stores, Shopwise and fast food. The rooms & facilities were clean, environmentally conscious, comfortable, cool and spacious. Staff were very helpful, polite and attentive. The rooftop pool, gym, lounge/dining area were reasonably small in scale, but intimate with incredible views of the cityscape.

Minor, but I had a very small amount of tiny ants that were discovered around my desk and bathroom sink, which were far less annoying than the bigger ants I deal with back home in the US. While the room was adequately air-conditioned, the hallways didn't feel temperature regulated and was quite humid in between the lobby and the room.

This is an excellent hotel with regards value for money. All the basics are available for a traveler who is coming for sightseeing and needs the room just to have a comfortable place to sleep and rest. With less than 15,000 peso for 4 night, a 3-star hotel with good quality and comfortable room and hotel in general, is something not easy to find in Manila. I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for an excellent value-for-money, quality and comfortable place to stay. If your standards are very high then you would probably need to check other more expensive options. There are many things that could be provided in the hotel and in the room (such as better breakfast, a restaurant for lunch and dinner, a bigger gym, bigger tv, a small table and 2 chairs in the room, tissue boxes in the room, more clothes hangers in closet, fixed hangers inside bathroom, etc) but those are not very essential, and if provided of course the rate wouldn't be the same; that's understandable. With Grab taxi service it's easy to do sightseeing from hotel and back to hotel. Staff is very welcoming, kind, hospitable, cooperative, and professional. Room service is fast when requested. I am very happy here. I booked 4 nights but I have now extended 6 more night till the end of my visit in Manila.

Nothing

The rooftop view was AMAZING at night. The other reviews were right about it being a bit noisy, and I think when people used the bathrooms above us we could hear their water passing through the pipes, but the room overall makes up for it! It was clean, no weird smells, there was a mini fridge and a hair dryer. The towels were a bit old, but good nonetheless. Highly recommend if you don't mind the location!

The major problem was how inaccessible this hotel is. Unless you plan on travelling by taxi and/or Grab throughout your stay, I urge you to find someplace else. You have to walk a bit to reach the road where jeepneys pass by and going home, there are no direct jeepneys going back to the same place so you'd have to do double and at times even triple rides. It is very inconvenient. The receptionists also have no clue how to commute to and from the place which was very disappointing especially if you are a tourist in the area. Kudos to sir guard who taught us the way! Also noticed that food deliveries in the area are a bit expensive and the nearest fastfood (KFC) is about a 5-10 minute walk away.

The staff are professional and smiling (receptionists, security, restaurant and housekeeping). An old hotel that has been well renovated. The room is spacious and well equipped. A water dispenser in the corridor and a kettle in the room. We stayed in room 509, which has a view of Kamagong Street. There is no double glazing, so you can hear the traffic, which didn't bother us personally. You can open the windows to ventilate. Very good wifi connection. The shower is mild and the aloe vera shampoo smells lovely. There's a terrace, a mini gym and a rooftop pool, which is nice. The ₱350 Filipino-American breakfast is good and very copious. The hotel is a 5-minute walk to fast food & Shopwise, a 15-minute walk to Ayala Mall, and a 35-minute walk to Ayala Museum and its shopping malls (Greenbelt, Glorietta & SM Makati). The journey can be made by Grab Taxi for a minimum of ₱150.

The air conditioning system is old and therefore noisy. We turned it off to sleep. We had a smell of cigarettes in our bathroom 2 affiliated nights. It seems that our ventilation communicates with that of another room... One of the pool steps is slippery, be careful.

proximity to groceries, restos, shopping centers, transport lines, bathroom ..

breakfast

The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The shower in the bathroom was clean and big. There was a water tank in the corridor with cold water as well so you can always fill up your bottle.

The only thing I would improve is the breakfast. At the moment there is a fixed menu with a lot of things included (when we were there it included rice, eggs, beef, fruit). The portions are big (maybe too big). I would split the breakfast into 2 or 3 options and I would offer a lighter breakfast (also for someone that doesnt eat meat, for example yogurt or milk and oats and fruit (mangos are always welcomed :) as we dont have so delicious mangos in Europe!
