Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were super clean and comfortable, but unfortunately, slamming doors made it impossible to take a nap. The staff, especially Ramon, was excellent and very helpful. The location was convenient although a bit shady, but it provided reasonable access to all major tourist spots. The dining options were good, and the buffet breakfast was impressive. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel's location wasn't great as I hoped, although it is close to shopping, transportation, laundry services, and even money changing. The room size and cleanliness were satisfactory, and it's within walking distance to taxis and various tourist attractions like Rizal Park, Intramuros, and the Baywalk.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, my spacious suite was beautiful but very noisy due to street and hallway sounds, even the shower noise from other rooms. The location was convenient, close to Robinsons Mall and some nightspots, yet the district seemed a bit shady. The dining options were flavorful but could improve on keeping the food warm. The service was exceptional, with insightful guidance and professional staff, especially Reyn at the front desk.
I couldn't complain about the service. The staff is exceptional. The location though wasn't the best. However, the rooms were quite spacious and clean, contrary to the noisy environment when facing the street. The dining experience was subpar, and the hotel felt a bit outdated.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were bigger, nicer, and had no issues with shower water or noisy aircon, but on one occasion, the room felt dated with little natural light. However, the room provided 4 USB ports for easy charging, saving me the trouble of bringing a plug extension. The service was friendly and accommodating across all areas, from security officers to housekeepers. The location was excellent, near historical sites and tourist destinations, although a bit shabby. The dining experience had room for improvement, especially with more diverse breakfast options. Overall, it was a reasonably priced stay with some ups and downs.
