Ggloriousme8The staffs are very helpful. Their security is good too. The view is amazing. Location is super. They have 711, Bank & ATM on the ground floor. On the second floor there is a Mini Chinese Supermarket, Pool, Gym, kids play area, a small shop which sells some clothing, a Cafe/Restaurant and a Malatang hhh. Quite a combo, you can get what you need. They also offer free rides to some places nearby. The only downside is that we found 2 rubbish bags under the cupboard that is not ours and the sink is not very clean. Others are acceptable. I’ll still consider it for my future stays. Hope they can improve the cleaning and make it smell fresher.
FFatimaMisharyThe room was nice and clean. The staff were very approachable, polite, and friendly, including the security guard. The toiletries were also complete.
However, my biggest issue was the cigarette smell. As soon as we entered the room, we could already smell cigarette smoke. The front desk informed us that some rooms may have a cigarette odor because smoking appears to be allowed in certain rooms. The smell became less noticeable after a while, but whenever we turned off the air conditioner, it would come back.
I also noticed that many Chinese guests were gathered in the waiting area in front of the front desk, where there are couches. They were quite loud while talking sometimes it sounded like they were arguing. 😅
What disappointed me the most was that even the buffet area smelled like cigarette smoke. The food was not particularly impressive, and the cigarette odor made the dining experience even less enjoyable.
I would not recommend this hotel for families with young children or for guests who are sensitive to cigarette smoke. It may be difficult for the hotel to address this issue if a large portion of their clientele are smokers.
It's a pity because the hotel itself is nice, the rooms are clean, and the staff provide excellent service.
GGuest UserThe staff are friendly and the facilities aren't bad. I think it's a good place to stay for this price in this area. It's like a love hotel in Korea. I would stay here again.
Ccheck.mhacDisappointment (Main Issue)
• Ang pinaka-nakakadismaya lang talaga ay amoy yosi ang room.
• Kahit naka-aircon, ramdam pa rin yung amoy, lalo na sa simula.
• Nakaka-off siya lalo na kung hindi kayo naninigarilyo.
• Sana mas ma-improve ang ventilation o mas thorough ang paglilinis para mawala ang amoy ng sigarilyo.
⭐ Overall Experience
• Overall, okay naman ang experience at may potential talaga ang place.
• Maganda ang room at maayos ang service, pero nabawasan ang comfort dahil sa amoy yosi.
• Babalik pa rin siguro pero sana ma-address nila yung issue na yun para mas sulit at mas pleasant ang stay.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
👉 Minus 1 star dahil sa amoy yosi sa loob ng room.
DDzhentaoAmazing place.
It's a love hotel that could actually work as a stopover if you're ready to experience Manila as it truly is. I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness: no insects in the room, no dirt, and a clean jacuzzi, which isn't always the case even in more expensive hotels in Moscow. One of the hotel staff, a gecko, clearly protected us from insects!
However, the bathrooms definitely need fixing. The pipes on both floors are leaking, which has led to a persistent puddle of stagnant water that never dries up.
The mattress was firm, perhaps too much so for our liking. And the stairs are quite steep, which might not be comfortable for everyone.
The hotel staff were generally friendly; I'm sure they would have been willing to help if needed, but we didn't have any issues. However, no one took the initiative, so over our three-day stay, we weren't even offered fresh towels or trash removal, which was a bit disappointing.
The location is convenient because it's close to the airport (this was a big draw for us, as we only had two days in Manila). But on the other hand, stepping outside the hotel plunges you into the surrounding poverty: markets, homeless people. In the evenings, it felt a bit uncomfortable getting around without a taxi. I'd recommend taking a taxi every time you return after sunset.
And yes, being close to the airport means plane noise day and night, so be prepared for that.
All in all, my wife and I enjoyed our stay at the hotel, and we might even consider returning next time.
GGuest UserFirst time staying at a motel-style hotel, haha, it's truly a typical Filipino experience! You can just drive right up to your room. It was a novel experience, definitely worth trying.
GGuest UserThere's not many shops or restaurants around the hotel, mainly Chinese. Need to get Grab to get around. The cleaners are very lovely and helpful. Thank you. We have a 3bedroom apartment and the second shower did not have any hot water. Stsyed 11 nights and 3times are room card didn't work which means going down to reception and getting it sorted. The airport transfer was a plus, good service.
AAnonymous UserA superb budget option. The amenities provided (WiFi, bathroom supplies, water) were excellent and made my stay very comfortable. Given the low cost, I had low expectations, but the hotel exceeded them in every way. Great value and a smart choice for cost-conscious travelers.
JJeffrey Robert SmithStaff was good food good but the last night Thier the front desk confirmed I had reserved taxi for pickup at check out however 10 past time of check out and when taxi did not arrive they informed me taxi cancelled without reason these. Prior.. so they let me extend to reserve a ride but I had to pay fee even though they failed to inform me about the booking they offered to book for me and they never offered the tip back. Only communicated to other Victoria courts in Metro Manila NCR false slander and hearsay about me that I learned happened as Tru from the other booking at company properties
